About: I’ve had a pet my whole entire life from cats, dogs and more. My neighborhood is friendly and open for walks and fields for playing. I cherish animal love so much because they’re so innocent and cute. I love cuddling with them and running around in the backyard for fun. My siblings would love to have animals in my house everyday. Dogs are my absolute favorite and cats are just adorable !!♥️ I’m currently a stay at home mom with my 9 month old and my 2 siblings (7 & 10), who also LOVE animals (yes even the 9 month old..esp dogs). We can travel anywhere & they’ll be my little helpers throughout the week! I have a fenced in yard, leash’s, 2 amazing helpers who love animals just as much as i do! I’ve also taken care of animals all my life.
About: I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.
About: My first job was being the neighborhood pet sitter in high school and I instantly fell in love with getting to know and care for so many unique animals. While I’m new to the Rover family, family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors have trusted me with their pet family for over 10 years. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs and aquatics animals. From Turtle to Tabi cat to Great Dane! I have experienced with senior animals, puppy’s and medication administration. I’d love to chat about your pets individual needs to adapt and care for them the best way possible. When I come to run, play, walk or lounge with you pet my time with be spent loving them and making sure they’re comfortable with you’re away. Im also comfortable with taking them to dog parks. I’m a pet parent myself so my day starts and ends with my pup! I’m typically free from 9am-2:30pm before heading to work to walk, run, play or lounge with your pet. Mondays and Tuesdays I have a completely free schedule to work around for your needs. Wed-Sunday I’m free from 9am-2:30pm before heading to work to walk, run, play or lounge with your pet. I am off work between 9-10 (depends on the day) and can come back to continue care. Respecting both your home and your pets boundaries is a huge priority for me. Whatever makes your pet feel comfortable in my care comes first. I’d love to chat about what your daily routine looks like with your pet to make sure they’re best cared for
“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”
“We have used Greyson’s drop-in visits and overnight stays for both our two cats and two dogs. Greyson always provides a detailed report and will ensure she meets your expectations.”
About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
“Ally has been an absolute blessing. My original sitter had a scheduling conflict for about a week and I was fortunate Ally was available to fill in. I'd actually considered her to be the original sitter but the only reason I didn't was because I managed to find a sitter who was in the same apartment complex as me, which gave me peace of mind in case my pet had any emergencies. The initial meet and greet went very smoothly. She brought a notebook and I felt like a professor as she took notes while I explained the care duties. She was diligent with her questions and, during the visits, I never found myself having to repeat any of the instructions I'd given. My cat (who took almost a year to warm up to me) warmed up to her within minutes, which totally didn't make me jealous. It's always a plus when your pet gives you the greenlight. I chose the 60-min visit option and I know it can get repetitive and boring doing the same things every visit but she showed absolutely no signs of an "I'm just here for a paycheck" attitude. Her Rover cards always contained detailed descriptions of my cat's eating and bathroom habits, as well as his general demeanor and what they both did during the visits. And the pictures wouldn't just be the same pose shot from different angles either. All in all, she took care of my boy as if he were her own, which is honestly all I'd hoped for. As she's only a block away from me, she's definitely my first choice if I ever need a sitter again.”
“Claire was amazing. My cat was very happy well fed and taken care of. She always kept me updated with plenty of pictures. I was perfectly happy with her service. Great job. I tipped her in cash. Would use her again.”
“Marla was great! This was my first time using rover and I’m glad Marla was our first experience. Marla got my cats to interact with her on the first visit! I was able to have peace of mind while away, and I’m super grateful for her. Thanks so much!!”
“Literally cannot survive without her. She is so nice and patient with my Huskies who love to talk and harass her for carrots. They love her and she plays outside with them the whole time and gives so many updates.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, reptiles, chickens, amphibians, and small mammals. I’ve owned pets continuously since childhood, from Golden Retrievers and a Border Collie to cockatiels that I’ve cared for into their senior years. I currently have three rescue cockatiels and understand the patience, consistency, and attention to detail that pets need. Friends, family, and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for throughout my week. I work part-time, which allows me to accept drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting that fit my schedule. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible and will communicate clearly about my availability. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or dependable daily care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. During visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure your home is secure, your pets have fresh food and water, and they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection at a pace they’re comfortable with. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend her. She definitely loves taking care of fur babies and it shows. I can’t even Thank her enough. Will definitely have her care for my babies again. Thank you so much Kasey❤️”
“Bobbie was amazing and accommodating with me and my dog Mabel. She was super friendly, calm, and knowledgeable about dogs and specifically pit bulls. I got lots of updates and she was very transparent on what my dog was doing in her care. Definitely will be using Bobbie again!”
“Missi did an excellent job in what turned out to be a difficult situation. One cat needs insulin twice and day and the other escaped the house and hid in the barn. Missi searched for him and ended up putting food outside for him. All ended fine. The escapee was found, both are healthy and in good condition. Thanks, Missi.”

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.

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.
