âShay was a lifesaver. We booked at the last minute due to an unexpected hospitalization. We have older pets that need special care and after meeting Shay we knew they would be in good hands. Shay was extremely flexible especially when the stay went a week beyond our original booking dates. We had so many things to worry about, but our pets wasn't one of them.â

About: I have experience house sitting and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, a gecko, and farm animals such as pigs and goats. I am comfortable providing daily feeding, fresh water, exercise, basic care, and lots of attention while ensuring pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care that gives pet owners peace of mind while theyâre away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. As someone who has experience caring for a variety of animals, I am comfortable adapting to different schedules and routines to ensure each pet receives consistent, reliable care. Whether itâs daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and any special care requirements. I also make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. While house sitting, I treat both the pets and the home with respect, providing dependable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.And making sure they have clean home to return too.

Shay was a lifesaver. We booked at the last minute due to an unexpected hospitalization. We have older pets that need special care and after meeting Shay we knew they would be in good hands. Shay was extremely flexible especially when the stay went a week beyond our original booking dates. We had so many things to worry about, but our pets wasn't one of them.
Rebekah did an excellent job caring for our very active German Shorthaired Pointer, River and our cat, Tigger. Because of River's activity level he needs off leash walks to stay relaxed and accepting of our absence. River is both excited and fearful of strangers and can be protective of his body at times. Rebekah was creative in managing these issues and reading our dogs tolerance level. When River was over excited, she ignored him to decrease stress. She also used his need for contact by giving our cat attention until he decided he wanted contact too. Rebekah is proficient in the use of our electronic collar and I had no concerns about off leash walks, River responded to her voice commands without difficulty. The only area I would have liked to have been different is to have received more text communication about difficulties so I could have offered suggestions. All of Rebekah's decisions about managing any issues preserved our dog's safety and assisted him in becoming comfortable with her. She is a caring and competent person.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your petâs routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your petâs mood and energy levels.
Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cambridge 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 sitterâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
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.
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.
