About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I occasionally work in afternoons, sometimes in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
“Taylor was great. We felt very comfortable our pets were in good hands and they were comfortable with her also. Thank you again Taylor, we will definitely be contacting you in the future.”


“Iomar took excellent care of our cat and guinea pigs! We received lots of adorable photos while we were away, and it was clear they were well taken care of. We would book again!”

“Madeleine was the best!! Booked last minute after boarding cancelled on me day before leaving on a trip. She was amazing!! From communication to timelines on check-ins, 10/10!! ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.
“Caroline came in clutch last minute and took great care of my baby. She made sure he was settled in before she left and came at the perfect time for his night-time potty break.”


“Cher was a lifesaver in taking care of our cat, Princess over the holidays. She was quick to respond, accommodating, honest and kind. As stressful as it is for pet owners to leave their fur babies at home while on vacation, it is even more stressful on our pets. Cher's daily visit helped diminish that stress on our cat and us! We happily could tell that Princess was well taken care of when we returned home and would not hesitate to have Cher take care of our little lady again. Thank you, Cher!”

About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was born, and I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I have had two Golden Retrievers and a rescue from the animal shelter. I also have had guinea pigs and taken care of them for around 10 years. I have watched our neighbor's and my grandfather's dogs on multiple occasions. I am currently on summer break from my academic studies at Florida State University in Biomedical Engineering. I have quite a lot of traveling planned this summer and am looking for a flexible and enjoyable job to fill in my free time. I am quite familiar with dogs of all kinds. If anything would be required during a pet-sitting, I most likely have it in my place of residence (Crate, Treats, Leashes, Toys, etc.).
“Took great care of my little Ralphie! She took care and kept me constantly updated with how things were going. Diligently showed up at the times I needed for Ralphie. I would certainly use Katie again should I need her to watch my cat.”

“Jordyn is a wonderful house and pet sitter. We have used her many times and plan to in the future. She watch our senior cat while away for the holidays and checked in everyday giving us piece of mind while away and our cat is very shy but loves her. Highly recommend!!!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog lover with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I live in a house with 1.5 acres of land, including a large, fully fenced grassy yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. I currently have a German Shepherd and a Border Collie, so I’m very familiar with active and intelligent breeds. I also have a 3-year-old child who is very gentle and respectful with dogs, and all interactions are always supervised. I am mostly free after dropping my child off at daycare around 8 a.m., which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding dogs, giving oral medications, and following specific care routines. I truly love caring for dogs and treat every pup like part of my family—with lots of affection, patience, and cuddles. 💛 Please note: • I currently accept dogs under 12 years old • I prefer dogs that are house-trained Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance work and pet care effectively. My day usually starts after I drop my child off at daycare around 8:00 AM. From that point, I dedicate time to both my work responsibilities and caring for my pets. I treat every pet like family! Whether in my home or yours, I make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. My care includes: • Following their feeding and medication schedules • Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free • Monitoring health and behavior closely • Maintaining clean and cozy spaces I provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Lillyana did a great job of feeding, changing the litter, and playing with our two cats while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. We will definitely trust her to watch them again in the future!”

“Sara is an excellent sitter and experienced with appropriate body language towards all dogs, but especially our nervous pup! She gave helpful updates and photos and I felt like our dog was in great hands. Definitely recommend and will hire her again! Thanks ☺️”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
