“Emily did a great job with watching our three kitties! We were gone for 10 days and she did drop in visits to clean their litter boxes, to give fresh food and water, and she also provided attention and love to each one of them! We appreciated the pictures from each visit too! We have one cat that really likes to hide and she made sure to find him at each visit. Emily has wonderful communication and was very reliable!! We will hire her again in the future to take care of our three kitties! Thank you!!!”
“Cayla goes above and beyond, provides outstanding care for my one year old golden retriever who can be a handful at times. Cayla is very patient, playful, flexible and provides detailed updates and great photos. I highly recommend her!!”
“Sally is an absolute lifesaver! My dog, Sasha, can be quite reactive, but Sally showed incredible patience and understanding right from the start. To ensure everything went smoothly, we set up multiple meet-and-greets beforehand. This allowed Sasha to get truly comfortable and relax around her. Because of Sally's dedication and amazing care, we were able to fully enjoy my daughter’s wedding day with complete peace of mind, knowing Sasha was in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend Sally enough!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire childhood and in my adult life that I love but I couldn’t wait to have a dog of my own to take care of and train. I have a rotating 48/96 schedule at work that allows me to have multiple different days off throughout the week. Jason works from home so he is always available to your pets for boarding and doggy day care. We have one very friendly and loving Goldendoodle that would love for other dogs to play with him. He loves going to the dog park so that would be available throughout the day as well. We are also able to crate your dog if necessary.
“Kaylee is great to work with; I've had no issues with her all the visits she’s made to take care of my cats. She’s quick to respond and doesn’t miss any scheduled visits. I recommend her as your local pet sitter.”
“Sara is incredible! Is was onvious on day one how much she cares for animals. She is patient and kind with my doggo and quickly made friends. Her communication is top notch and the photos she sends really brighten a dull day”
“Morgan was great! She met with us prior to our visit to meet Gracie. She was prompt in responding to our request and questions. She took great care of Gracie for her drop in visit. Thank you Morgan!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, hermit crabs, lizards, and fish, so I’ve always been surrounded by pets of all kinds. I’ve walked my family’s dogs for 10 years and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with them. While my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours through walks and drop-in visits. I’ll treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I’m typically available Monday through Friday mornings and early afternoons, and I’m happy to accommodate the occasional evening or Saturday when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits only, so your pet can stay in the familiar environment of your home and neighborhood. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.
About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Currently cannot watch any pets at my home but happy to complete as many home visits as necessary as long as you are relatively close by:) I am not currently working full time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am happy to discuss any extra care needed for your pet. I am happy to follow specific instructions/feeding schedules as needed. I will also completed any necessary home care tasks as wanted as long as discussed prior.
“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”
“Excellent and reliable care for my cats! She was also willing to help put out the trash for me! Thank you! I appreciated her pictures of my cats and open and clear communication. Two big thumbs up! 👍 👍”
About: I have experience in cat sitting with clients, some of them had anxious cats that were more on the spicy side. I gained their trust and surprised their owners when they found out how close and cuddly they got with me, that's my quality. I don't expect every cat to open all of their boundaries and I respect doing what they want. 😸 I am known to socialize with the cats outside of just feeding them and cleaning their litterbox. I have had 3 cats of my own, 2 which have been elderly cats who needed medicine and careful care. 💊 I am very good at administering meds and staying consistent. I have had two dogs which both crossed the rainbow bridge from elderly age (a malamute and a newfoundland). I am an equal cat and dog lover! I would love to have a dog again one day. I walk with a cane so I am comfortable walking small dogs. 🐶 I have a very flexible schedule since I work from home. I can stop by any time in the mornings, afternoons, and also early evenings. When going to a client's home, I am very careful when entering and exiting the home when the door opens. I also do a head count of any cats including my own before leaving a house. I know from my own pet that they like to get curious and can suddenly go into a bathroom or closet and can get closed in. Just like my teaching days - taking head counts is important! I also watch the pets as they eat especially if there are multiple in a house so that they don't overeat by sneaking snacks from their pet buddies food.
About: I work at a doggy daycare have over 3 years of experience taking care of dogs, feeding and medications if needed. I can also basic training dogs. I currently work part time. Im free Thursday - all day, Friday - all day and Saturday - till 5pm. If I am needed for a bathroom break or feeding they will be well taken care of. I currently do not own a animal. I have learned with my doggy daycare experience that you have to keep your head on a swivel because some animals can get into what they shouldn't.
About: Hi! I'm Sasha, an animal lover and a cat owner myself. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I also have experience caring for a 2-month-old puppy and bottle-feeding young kittens. I really enjoy caring for young pets and understand the extra attention and patience they need. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time for pet care. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and am available for drop-in visits throughout the week I always follow the owner's instructions and keep each pet's normal routine as much as possible. During drop-in visits, I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'll also send photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Cayla was a fantastic pet sitter. I was nervous of leaving my companions, a bird and a dove, esp because they are not dogs or cats. Cayla met me before my trip and I knew upon meeting her they were in the right hands. She treated them like my family and sent me all the pics and videos I needed. She always got back to me right away when we had to communicate, and made sure the house was warm enough when the temps dipped. When I got home it was like I'd never been gone, cleaner actually

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
