“Maddie is great with our golden retriever. She is very reliable, on time, quickly answers inquiries and sends updates and pictures after each visit. And kind to bring in package delivery off porch. I highly recommend.”

About: With years of hands-on experience in pet care, I am dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have cared for a wide range of animals, tailoring my approach to meet each pet’s specific needs and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands while they’re away. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by being a flexible and rewarding part of my schedule. I prioritize my time to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they need, whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply spending quality time together. I enjoy tailoring my routine to meet the needs of each pet, ensuring their well-being and happiness. This not only allows me to provide excellent service to pet owners but also gives me the opportunity to connect with animals, which I find fulfilling and enjoyable. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a comfortable and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: As a teacher, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to details. I have experience caring for cats and walking dogs, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and well cared for while they're away. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, providing updates, and maintaining a pet's normal routine. As a teacher, I am used to maintaining a consistent schedule and following routines.

I treat every home with respect and prioritize the safety and well-being of each pet in my care.
About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!
“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
“Rylinn is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and a clear communicator. I appreciate her prompt arrival and positive attitude during our initial meet-up on very short notice. Thanks! Looking forward to booking you again in the future :)”
About: I’ve cared for lots of pets over my years since I was younger. Family as well as neighbors and friends, providing walking to clean up well as bathing. It’s become a passion of mine and I’d love nothing more to help those care for their own when they are unable or can’t themselves. I’m working part time so I’ll have lots of time for your pets. I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages as well and providing as much help as I can. I’m in an apartment with enough space for your pet or pets to go for walks. Also for enrichment as well as anything else they need.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats from a young age. I've enjoyed pet sitting animals in their homes for family members and friends over the years. I also have experience in freshwater fish tanks and hermit crab habitats. I’m also interested in exploring lizard, snake, and bird habitats. I’m currently at a point where I have a decent amount of free time on my hands and currently don’t have a pet of my own. Looking to help others with their pets to fill the space before choosing a new forever pet I’m very patient and follow instructions well. In the care of others pets I know they are a family member and they would want them treated that way. Safety is always a top priority. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. With love, kindness and compassion.
“omg thank you so much!! This girl went above and beyond! Blu loved her. We were in a situation and she saved our lives 💚 we had went out of town and received boxes … she also bring those in. Thank you so much I nor bow can wait for future endeavors”
“Erin has been great visiting Milo! He likes her and always seems well rested when I get home. She is communicative and takes great photos. I would definately reccomend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I currently have 3 golden doodles, ranging from 65-110lbs and one is handicap. I have had dogs my whole life, I love all animals. I have experience pet sitting cats as well. I have a full time job being a financial analyst, looking for some extra money. I currently work remotely, so I am very flexible with my time. I am able to drop in as needed. On weekends I am fully available for pet sitting as well. I have an electric fence for my dogs. However, one tends to not obey the fence, so he’s let out on a very long line connected to the yard so he can’t roam. I also take him for walks/runs a lot more often than the others. I do walk all 3 of my dogs at a time without any issues.
“Ruby did great with Chewy. Pictures every day and she spent quality time with our fury family member. Ruby was very flexible in her schedule and accommodated Chewy's morning and evening routines. Looking to hire again.”
“I can’t say enough good things. Lauren was so sweet and loving to our boys. She went out of her way to make sure they were taken care of, even by researching how to reset the complicated automatic feeders we have (which the cats unplugged!). Thank you!”

Denise is magical. We have a cat who is very reactive to strangers and dislikes changes in routine. We weren’t sure we’d be able to go on a family vacation and leave her at home in someone else’s care. But our difficult cat warmed up to Denise immediately, and they did fine the entire time we were gone. We loved the daily photos, assuring us that all was well. Would hire Denise again in an instant.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
