“Elise was very thorough in making sure our cat’s needs were met. She was very flexible with adding an additional day at the last minute. She went over and above to find our cat's hiding spots and take photos so that we knew our cats were being cared for. Jupiter loved the pets and playing fetch for treats! Thank you again for taking good care of our babies!”
“Anne stopped at our home for a couple "drop in visits" while we were away for the day. Both our dogs love hanging out with Anne. Everything was completed as requested and our pups were happy when we returned.”
“Sara was great….she took care of my Kitties and went above and beyond. She had to give medication to my kitty which was probably not easy. She sent pictures of them…. I don’t know how she did it, but the pictures were so good, my kitties never posed for me like that so they must’ve loved her. Thank you, Sara.!❤️”
“I have booked with Dawn before and will continue to do so. I always feel so much peace of mind knowing she’s checking in on my fur baby. My cat has a lot of challenging issues in her older years and Dawn is always super capable of handling whatever that kitty throws at her. Thanks Dawn!”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. From tiny shih tzus, heelers, golden retrievers, I’ve loved spending time with all the dogs I’ve had, and the ones I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of. My typical work hours range from 8-3:30 Monday-Saturdays! I have time to take care of pets in the afternoon and evenings, as well as all day on Sundays. I try my best to make sure pets are comfortable, which is why I enjoy pet sitting at a client’s home. Having a plan and schedule helps myself and the pets out.

“So thankful for Maelee. She went above and beyond and was extremely accommodating for our unexpected travel dates. She also does an amazing job with our cats :)”
“This was my first booking with Felicia, and she was wonderful. I have one cat that is shy/skittish until he gets to know you. He warmed up to Felicia quicker than I expected. Based on the photos she provided, both of my cats appeared to love her. I had excellent communication with Felicia about what I needed and questions she had. I would book Felicia again in a heartbeat.”

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 Byron Center 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
