About: I am caring and thoughtful about the wellbeing of dogs and cats. I care for my own like he is my child and have been trusted by family and friends over the years, and have never let anyone down! I’m a teacher on summer vacation right now! I’d love to make my summer really meaningful by helping out some pups and their owners! (Or cats for drop in visits!) Come the fall, my schedule will be restricted to weekends, with some possible exceptions- just ask! Outdoor meet ups with owner an owner present are required between my dog and yours prior to daycare- please allow about 20 minutes for that. For overnight boarding we will have to do a meet up sometime leading up to the board, at least a day in advance. My dog, Ernie, does very well with other dogs- the purpose of the meet ups is just to make sure everyone is comfortable- dogs and humans! Doggy seatbelt provided for drives. Large kennel crate provided if your dog is used to sleeping in one! (However they also have the choice of the foot of my bed, or a dog bed next to it!)
“Niya did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was on time, sent lots of pictures, and administered medication to one of our cats. We felt great knowing she was coming to see them. I’d recommend Niya to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Lauren was attentive and prompt with her service. She was on time, gave our cats lots of love, and took care of the things we asked of her to keep our cats happy. I would absolutely recommend her to other Rover users.”
About: You can find comfort knowing that I will treat your baby as if they are my own(which I don’t currently have, because I am probably busy watching someone else’s) There are days when I do have to go into the office. They will be home alone for longer periods of time (8 hours max). I aim to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible for them :) Let me know what your pets day-to-day is like!
“I would give Katherine 10 stars if I could! She was amazing! Thanks to Katherine and her care of Ava, I did not worry one bit while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond for me and Ava by even visiting when I couldn’t get home when scheduled due to bad weather. You can tell she loves animals and cares about her reputation as a pet sitter. Hands down the best experience I’ve had and I look forward to booking her again in the future. So wonderful to have someone you can trust. Thanks Kay!”
About: I am educated in Animal Welfare and Companion Animal Behaviour from the Agricultural College. I have more than 300hrs of volunteer experience with various animal rescues, including cat/kitten fostering; kennel cleaning; dog socialization; dog walking. I have a soft spot for any senior animal needing medication and/or a little extra daily care. I've owned dogs, cats, rodents personally and provided pet-sitting services for friends and family for dogs, cats, rodents, ducks, livestock (cattle), and miniature horses. In regards to training, I believe the best tool is consistency and focus on balance/positive reinforcement. I'm currently building up my pet care business so I can be wherever you need me, whenever you need me! I'm just excited to meet your pets! I'm comfortable with many training tools (crates, martingales, harnesses...etc). To ensure consistency, I will ask detailed questions about commands, skills, and manners your pet currently knows and will follow your training program, unless I notice a matter of safety. I will then discuss the matter with you before proceeding in any way. During pet-sitting, any pet made messes will be cleaned promptly to maintain a happy, healthy home for your loved one.
About: Hello there! :) I'm a freelance photographer who works from home, living in my spacious apartment with my partner and roommate. I am a huge dog and animal lover, my parents have two beautiful huskies (aka my siblings) and for two years I lived with my cousin and I helped take care of her adorable golden retriever while she was working as a nurse. I would take the dog out for walks a few times a day, always including one long walk to the park or hike, to make sure he had plenty of time to run around and play fetch or go for a swim. I would also practice his commands with him, to make sure that I was reinforcing what my cousin was working on with him at the time. They've since moved away, so I really miss having a dog around! Outdoor-time and exercise is very important to me so I can take your pets for lots of walks and make sure to give them even more attention and playtime while we're at home. We have a cat, Buttons, who we adopted recently. She can be grumpy so we keep her completely separated from the dogs that we have staying with us. Looking forward to meeting you!! I currently work as a photographer, so I'm mostly at home, working and editing photos with a couple of photoshoots throughout the week. I have a very flexible schedule, and plently of time for dog walk breaks throughout the day! I live with my partner and lovely roommate in a spacious apartment with a huge rooftop patio, just a two minute walk away from a public park, and a dog park. I will always respect your rules if I am a guest in your home.

Erica keeps going above and beyond every time she looks after my aging cat. In addition to requiring medication, my cat is a bit anxious and has been losing weight. Erica puts in extra effort to get her to eat her food, medicine, and treats. She allows me to travel without stressing, and I always come back to a happy cat.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sydney choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
