“My cats were glad to see me, but obviously had been well taken care of when I was away - even my high strung Bengal. Lori paid attention to any special instructions given to her. I will trust Lori again with my two cats!”
“Lovely experience with Wren! My partner and I were confident our two cats were in good hands with Wren. This was our first time using Rover so we weren’t sure what to expect; Wren made everything clear and was super communicative. Thanks Wren”
“Hayley and Lucy are amazing! They are friendly, responsible, and very accommodating. They took care of my baby cats exactly as I asked and went above and beyond. They left very detailed care notes and sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! My cats also got along really well with them. I would definitely recommend them and will absolutely book with them again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family, from small doggos to bigger doggos. I love saying hi and playing with doggos, when I see them. I'm currently working full time, Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm. I'm open to watching and walking your furry buddies from 5pm-9:30pm. Saturdays anytime. Please reach out if I intrested! I'm open to walks, long or short. In house watches for cats, dogs, and maybe other pets, shoot me a text! I'll make sure your babies are safe.
“Greer was wonderful with Tobi! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of attention and affection while we were away. Her daily communication and updates were greatly appreciated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing Tobi was happy and well cared for. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and will absolutely be reaching out to Greer again in the future. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and reliable pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember! My background working on farms taught me to stay calm under pressure and handle animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a stubborn puppy or a cat that needs a little extra space, I’m highly observant of animal body language. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m looking forward to helping you and your pet! I work remotely in the South End, giving me great flexibility for walks and house sitting. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide a high level of supervision and quick responses for any last minute needs. I treat your home with the same care I treat my own. While house sitting, I stay tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure your pet’s environment stays consistent and without stress. I provide detailed updates and photos after every visit or throughout a stay. I’m also happy to handle small household tasks.
“Ross did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away. We had piece of mind knowing he was checking in on them and his updates and photos were greatly appreciated.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as family members my whole life (35+ years). I want to help others care for their pets as lovingly and attentively as I care for my own. I work part-time: 1-2 days per week. I am otherwise available to provide pet care. I am available on weekends, early mornings and evenings as needed. I have an indoor cat. At the moment I am offering drop-in and dog walking services only, but am open to considering in home care in the future.
About: I’ve never been without a cat in my life, from childhood to the present day. Outside of my beloved pets, I have fostered 5 cats over the past few years. I have experience with a wide range of personalities, from those who are outgoing to those who take months to warm up. This has led me to develop a deep understanding of cat behaviour, and an even deeper love for them! I’m working full-time Monday to Friday at the moment, but am available most weekends and weekday evenings after 5pm, as well as holidays falling on weekdays. I focus on the specific needs and personality of each cat, to give them the best experience possible. I have ample space for litterboxes and food in my apartment, and a seperate room if needed for the kitty to feel comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of varying breeds and sizes since I was 8 years old. I absolutely love animals and see them as family members. Family, friends, and neighbours rely on me to aid in the care of their fur babies—from walks to baths to at home visits and play dates. I’m currently a full-time first year Psychology student with availabilities Monday to Thursday after 12PM and all day availability from Friday to Sunday. I have lots of free time to keep your fur babe company while you’re away! 😌 I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their own home/space. I regularly check in on them, make sure their needs are met, and give them attention at their pace. I pay close attention to their behaviour and always keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is well cared for. 🩷
About: Have cared for dogs and cats for over 20 years, have had my own cats and dogs which I have cared for and trained. Looking to continue caring for more animals. I work a flexible job where my mornings, evenings and weekends are open. I am often able to take breaks during the day as needed. I have a pet friendly apartment and will be able to provide breaks as needed. I live very close to large green areas for walks and play.
About: I am a reliable sitter that has cared for many breeds of dogs. Animals have always been my passion and I love to lend a helping hand. I also have a sweet golden of my own and everyday spent with her is a joy. I am living in Middleton during the week for work but would love to look after your furry friends on weekends so you can get out and enjoy. I have a friendly golden who loves other dogs so if you want some socializing for your dog she is a perfect playmate. Can walk your dogs alone or with my golden. I live in a house with a large fully fenced in backyard off a dead end quiet street. I have a golden retriever who is very friendly and loves all dogs so it would be fun if your pet is looking for a companion to play with. If you prefer your dog to be cared for alone, that is also not a problem.
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats in my life, growing up with two huskies and two cats. From pet sitting for friends and family to fostering a cat in university! I am currently enrolled in a bachelor of education and also playing competitive soccer. I have my own vehicle and a flexible schedule throughout the week and am free on the weekends! I have lots of experience in pet sitting in other people’s homes either overnight or check ins during the day, providing a caring and safe environment for all pets
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind :) I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. I always do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I keep a clean, secure environment, pay close attention during walks, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands.
About: I've had family dogs my whole life, but have had my own dogs for around 8 years now! I love all animals, and I would love to make a pet and their parents day a little easier while they're out for fun or at work! I have also worked for the SPCA, and have dealt with many pet personalities. I work 9-5, so I can care for your pet/pets after work, or before work if it's early! I am also available anytime on the weekends. I have a yard at my home and a couch for your pet to relax on, unless they'd prefer a bed! I have one small dog and two cats at home that can keep your furry family member company along with myself. For walking dogs, I may need a leash provided because mine is suitable for smaller breeds. I can also care for your pets in your home if that's preferred.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dartmouth
Jaiden has become our go-to catsitter. She is very reliable and responsive and we feel good knowing our senior cat receives great care, affection, and playtime with each visit. This was our first longer trip (just shy of two weeks) and we felt at ease about having Jaiden come to our home twice a day. We would highly recommend Jaiden for cat sitting!
We tried Zoe for the first time and we're so glad we did!! From the meet and greet, it was clear she really cares. She asked thoughtful questions about our senior cat's routine and personality, and was so kind and organized! While we were away, she sent us detailed updates and photos (daily) that gave us real peace of mind. Zoe is incredibly detail oriented, and reading her notes was a delight! You can tell she loves what she does. We won't be looking any further for a cat sitter! We hope Zoe will be available and happy to look after our sweet senior for as long as she'll have us. Highly, highly recommend!!
I cant thank Taylor enough for taking care of Snowy and for all the love she gave her during my absence. This is my first experience leaving Snowy and I was very anxious about it. Taylor made it so much easier. Taylor is very organized and caring. She made sure to send me pictures and videos with every check in, answered all my questions and reassured me. She also made sure she plays with Snowy and pets her. Coming back after 2 weeks all was clean, tidy and Snowy was in a perfect shape. She is very sweet and accommodating. Thank you so much and I will definitely book again with Taylor 💗
Grace was really patient with our shy cat, even though he barely came out for his food. While at the same time made sure that our other active and friendly cat got all the cuddles and play they needed. We are very happy we chose Grace to take care of our fur babies.
Tamanna and Pramond were so wonderful with our senior cat Koji. My wife and I had to leave for 3 days for a wedding and Tamanna/Pramond took care of our baby, feeding her, giving her treats, keeping her company. We really felt at peace knowing she was getting so much care while we were away. Tamanna and Pramond are the kindest, sweetest couple who have cats of thier own and are true cat parents! We will definitely be looking to them for any future cat-sitting needs.
Esme is absolutely great! This was her second time taking care of our kitten and once again she was wonderful. She is very flexible and easy to communicate with and she always sends plenty of updates, photos, and videos during each visit. She also makes an effort to bond with our fur baby, who already loves her! We will definitely continue reaching out to Esme whenever we need a pet sitter.
Yeha went above and beyond to provide excellent care for my 17 year old senior cat, Bella while I was away for a short work trip. She provided very detailed descriptions of each visit which made me feel confident that Bella was getting very detailed care, including administering her medication. I always felt assured from her updates and the attached photos showed how all of my kitties really liked her energy and were happy to see her! We will certainly hope to book Yeha again in the future!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.
