“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful. Always timely, and very communicative. She was the sweetest to our little fur baby and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. Will most definitely hire again.”
“I booked Kara last minute, and she was so gracious about it. She even made the time for a meet and greet! I was comfortable with her experience and energy while interacting with our dog and bunny, and she took excellent care of them for us while we were away!”
About: I have been taking care of my family's pets since I was a young girl, but I officially started dog sitting when I was around 16. I have been a dog walker, stopping by houses when families are out of town or at work. I have been a dog and house sitter, staying for as long as two weeks with multiple large dogs. I absolutely love all dogs and have a lot of experience with big "scary" dogs and how to manage them, having grown up with and trained German shepherds. I typically have class from 9 to 2 Monday through Friday with some variability. I am available on weekends, early mornings, and afternoons after 2:30. I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a calm, clean environment either inside your home or when on a walk with myself. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and ensure constant supervision, trust, and gentle care.
“Brianna was great with our cat Connor. This was our first time using Rover and she made it so easy. Receiving the pictures of Connor during each check in was the best part. Thank you again and we will be in touch for future help!”
“Sara is wonderful, her attention to detail, thoughtful communication is one of my favorite qualities. Tatertot was well taken care of on her drop in visits. We will rebook, when she has availability. Your pets are in good hands! I highly recommend”
About: I've always had a dog throughout my entire life. At this current moment, I have 28 pets which include 1 dog, 1 bunny, 1 goat, 2 goats, and 23 chickens. During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs. If needed I can stay overnight with your pet to make sure he gets all of his bathroom breaks, water, and food!!
About: Hi! I’m Morgan! I’m a mom of two living in Gorham and an animal lover. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets and treat them like their own while you’re away. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and giving them some extra love and attention! I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule, especially during the afternoons, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I also completely understand wanting updates while someone else is caring for your pet, so I’m always happy to send pictures and let you know how they’re doing! I’d love to meet you and your pets and hopefully become someone you can regularly count on when you need an extra hand! I’m a stay at home mom and my daughter is in preschool half days now, so I have a very flexible schedule and could easily fit this in. Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always provide a safe, loving, and clean environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routine closely to keep them relaxed and happy. I treat every pet like family, no matter where they are.
“Nishat and I are newly meeting for my cat, Stella’s care. So far I’ve been extremely impressed by her foresight and thorough job. I have also very much appreciated all the pictures along the way (: thank you so much Nishat!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so that’s 25 years of loving animals, but just 11 years as the sole caregiver of my own. From Labradors to Chihuahuas, to Police K-9s, I’ve loved them all, though I’m currently a cat lady. For the first time in my life, I don’t have any dogs at the moment, as I don’t feel like I have enough space for it to be fair to them. So this is how I get my dog fix, and my steps in at the same time 🤭. I currently have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog, I’m a sucker for an exotic pet. I’ve also had 4 snakes in the past (my husband is terrified or else I’d have some right now). One of my cats is leash trained, and one has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well. I do work full-time during the week, so I am only available after 5pm. Sometimes I’m able to step away for breaks as I work from home 3 days per week, but my work is pretty irregular, so afternoons and evenings are the best bet for my availability. I live in a relatively small condo, so I don’t have much space. As much as I would love to offer boarding, I don’t think it would be fair to your pet, as I also do not have a yard. BUT I’m more than happy to stop by your home and fulfill any requests!
“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”
About: I’ve grew up with a dog, I have a cat now, and I’ve always loved animals. My neighbors, friends, and family have consistently relied on me for pet care. I’ve even helped animals with disabilities, such as blindness. I work a hybrid job, and I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely open. I can do early mornings or evenings on the other days. I am comfortable with however you need me to care for your animals in your home. Whatever level of access given or expectations of care works for me.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Buxton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
