I highly recommend Keying! She did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Chewy. She was reliable, communicative, and made a genuine effort to keep Chewy comfortable and entertained. I loved receiving the regular photo updates and status reports. I’m very happy with her work and will definitely book her again.

About: I have sat and walked many dogs for family members, neighbours and for work. I have watched young puppies and cared for a senior dog in his last months which required giving medication and attending to his special needs. I currently work with dogs with many different need requirements and absolutely love caring for them. I currently work 3-4 times a week. But the rest of the week I should be fully available to look after your adorable fur babies I am very gentle and respectful to all animals and will show your pets the most loving and caring environment. I have a fenced backyard where your dogs can play and run around, and while I’m with them, they’ll always have someone to play with.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and lizards. Currently, I share my home with two lovely budgies. As I am home full-time, your pet will never be left alone and will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I only care for one family's pet at a time, allowing me to focus completely on your pet's needs and routine. I have experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, and I adapt my care to each pet's personality and energy level. I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and enjoy taking dogs for walks in the nearby park. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind, and I speak both English and Russian. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am home full-time and available for pet care any day of the week. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking walks in the nearby park and spending time outdoors, making it easy to provide exercise and companionship for active pets. Your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time on my large fenced backyard. At home, we keep a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I closely follow any instructions provided and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I always respect the client’s space and stay only in the allowed areas of the house. To keep you connected and informed, I provide regular updates and photos.

I cannot recommend Didem enough. She is the definition of a professional. Not only did she follow all of our instructions perfectly, but she also won over our usually shy cat within minutes. Her communication was top-tier—she responded to every question promptly and sent detailed updates after every visit. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated who genuinely loves animals as much as she does. If you need a reliable sitter who treats your pet like family, she is the one.

About: I love all types of animals. I know how to train little puppies and I’m pretty sure I did a great job in training my own fur baby! I will make sure to keep them busy and active. I am fully experienced in administering medications for both dogs and cats. Always on top of cleaning their food and water bowl and providing fresh water and make sure they have full and easy access to food and water at all times. Fully experienced with bathing small dogs. Comfortable taking dogs for a walk. Also, my favourite activities are puppy yoga, cat yoga, goat yoga and visiting animal farms and sanctuaries. At the moment, I have a full time job. I am free after 6:00PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I love to spend my free times with animals. Caring for pets in my house or a client’s house involves various tasks such as feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, grooming, and cleaning up after them. Additionally, offering companionship and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness is essential. It is very important to follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding their routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special requirements. Regular communication with the owner about the pet’s behavior and any concerns is also important for maintaining trust and ensuring the best care possible.

About: For over three years, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for local strays, making sure they had food, clean shelter, baths, and the medications they needed to thrive. My passion for helping animals grew as I volunteered as an Adoption Process Specialist, guiding families through the joys and responsibilities of adoption, including understanding cat health, vet visits, and the cost of care. Most recently, I’ve had the privilege of working as a dog daycare handler, where I spent my days ensuring pups were happy, safe, and well-socialized. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to my flexible availability. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize providing consistent, attentive care, ensuring your pet feels loved and well-cared for no matter the time or day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they feel right at home with cozy spots to nap, plenty of playtime, and a consistent routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like part of the family, offering lots of love and attention. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick to their usual routine to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or just cuddles, I make sure they’re well cared for and send regular updates so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Tugce, and animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, and that’s where my lifelong love for them began. I’m completely obsessed with cats—they truly have a special place in my heart. If animals could talk, I’d probably spend more time talking to them than people! Their personalities, little habits, and unconditional love always make me smile. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy every moment. I work from home, which means I have plenty of time to give your furry family member the attention, supervision, and companionship they deserve. They will never be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Please note that, due to the size of my home, I currently offer cat boarding only. I want every pet to have enough space to feel comfortable, so I don’t board dogs in my home. However, I’m always happy to provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for dogs in their own familiar environment. I’m also available for same-day and last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. I absolutely love taking photos, so you can expect lots of picture and video updates throughout the day. I know how reassuring it is to see your furry friend happy, relaxed, and having fun while you’re away. I’m more of a night owl, so late-evening and overnight care are never a problem for me. Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m usually available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I truly believe pets are family. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, love, and respect. My goal is to give both you and your pet complete peace of mind while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I love being around animals and making them feel happy, safe, and loved. ❤️🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. From my experience, every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. That’s why I take the time to observe and understand each animal so I can provide care that suits their individual needs. I believe paying attention to a pet’s behavior is important, and I always adjust my approach based on their personality and comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship while respecting their boundaries and routines. I also understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet, so I am happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same level of patience, attention, and affection. ❤️🐾

About: The fact that both my wife and me do it as core dog lovers and share special bond with them . Once you have us, you have us for a lifetime and so do your furkids. Their care seamless integrates into our lives coz after walking 2 steps from our beds, we let them loose in the backyard to relieve themselves or take them for walks so they are exhausted and are hungry. A tired dog is a happy dog; we always keep that in mind and check for some play sessions throughout the day whenever they need it and keep rewarding them with treats what they have in their bags. Apart from the usual routines that are supposed to be followed with them , as told to us by their pet parents , depending on the pet , we ensure they have access to fresh water and place to rest all the time. We have offered our own chesterfield (sofa) exclusively for them where they can comfortably climb and rest and descend down and sit on the floor too if they want to change their place anytime. We try to do a quick brush up too if they need one and ensure their water and food bowls are cleaned regularly

About: Ive had a genuine love for pets since childhood. Even with having multiple cats at home, I would still find cats outside and bring them home to give them food and water. My friends have also trusted me with their pets due to my experience, and Ive never really met a pet that didn't like me as well. I care for my own pets (2 Russian blue cats), in between being a musician. I embrace their healing properties (Like their purring, that is even used for acoustic therapy for bone healing in humans!), I enjoy educating myself about what they need to thrive. My 2 cats (mom and her son) keep each other company daily, they both enjoy going outside but the little one only roams in the backyard when he feels like running around and munching on grass.

About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for over a decade, I have worked for local businesses as a dog walker, I’ve been a dog owner for almost 8 years, and I know what dog need, love, attention, lots of walking, lots of petting, and someone that will care for them just like they were their own. My work is in the evenings between 3 PM and 8:30 PM, so I have lots of time during the day and lots of time at night to make sure that your little one is walked well and will be taken care of during the day while you’re at work! Whether it’s at your home or my home, my focus will be primarily on your furry friend, in a safe and happy environment so that they feel comfortable and it’s easy for them to adjust. I live near Mill Pond as well, so it would be a great opportunity to get a big walk around the pond!

I apologize for my delayed review; I was busy catching up on my work. I was really pleased that Qian accepted my request, even though it was last minute. He came to check on Ray and my house within 30 minutes of my request before agreeing to it. He understood my instructions perfectly. He was also flexible enough to accommodate my request to change the time on the first day. For the actual service, he arrived right on time and took care of Ray as instructed, sending me pictures to reassure us. On the second day, he cleaned the litter box, communicated with me, and went upstairs to check on Ray to make sure he was okay. I'm very satisfied with the service and will definitely reach out again when I need pet sitting services.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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.

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.
