“So glad we found Annali and Winnie has a new friend to drop in and play. Annali was super easy to work with and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our two pups during the daily visits. Lindsey even offers to stay longer than requested to keep the pups company!”
“Ella took fabulous care of our cats and dogs while we were out of town. Everyone was happy and healthy on our return and we would happily have her pet sit again in the future”
About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I have school during the weekdays from 8-9 am to 2 or 3. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.
“Emily did such an amazing job with our big boy Duke. It was our first time using Rover and she eased all of my anxiety and made sure that I knew my baby was taken care of. Can’t wait to have her spend more time with Duke.”
“Arian is such a great cat lover and caretaker!! I felt completely at ease leaving her my keys for drop ins to my place, and from the looks of the photos and videos my cats will honestly miss her once I’m home! Fantastic experience.”
About: I’m a mature lady with a can do attitude. We have had dogs and cats (and a variety of other critters) in our home through the decades. Nothing better than bringing your dog along for that countryside hike/trail walk. At one with nature. I do have the attitude that I’m the boss on the walk and our dogs are part of the pack. I like it best when our dogs have opportunity to be off leash. Not that will happen with your dog unless we find a dedicated off leash park and permission from you. I offer dog walking and pet visits in your home and boarding at my home BOARDING. I require to use a crate at times I’m gone as I live with my disabled adult daughter and care staff. I don’t mind the weather unless it is exceptionally hot or cold for your pet. I’ve got all weather gear! I am available most weekdays from 8am-ish (depending on travel time). I can do some weekend walks depending on length of notice. (my other job is a carer to a person with disabilities) I have a fenced in yard). Crating is an option should any fur baby feel the need to 'get away'. (Our own dog passed over the rainbow bridge in May) I require a meet and greet with new clients prior to accepting a new client. I just want to make sure we’re a good fit all around. This is best done 48-72 hours prior to any booking. A boarding client gets at least two walks a day as well as plenty of yard time if they desire. We have a good sized fenced yard. If I’m gone, your dog will be crated for a short while in a comfy spot. I consider crates as a sanctuary/ a place of safety for your fur baby. I am returning to Rover after some medical issues that needed my full attention. I am now easing back into care services. I am available for the odd walk. I am NOT available for regular daily/weekly scheduled walks. Dog care is part of my regular activities which include yoga, tai chi, volunteer work and care for my adult daughter. Pets in my care enjoy plenty of outdoor time and typically two walks in the daylight hours. They may accompany me on my own appointments when they are pet friendly. I prefer only one pet at a time, but will consider two from same family.
“Kimberly takes such wonderful care of my deaf/blind old pup, Ollie and my shy kitty, Louise! She had dropped by to care for them a few times and I absolutely adore the photos she sends. I can just tell that both of my animals are comfortable and curious with Kimberly. I know it’s because Kimberly treats them like they were her own. It is so clear that she loves animals and really will go the extra mile (or few) to make sure the animals are cared for. Five stars and would highly recommended!”
“Christina did a great job with my cats. She was responsible, on time, and got cute pictures of them, even though they hide a lot. I hired her during a stressful time, and she was compassionate and friendly to me and my family.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and I felt comfortable leaving my cat in Mackenzie's care. She was on time every day. She spent time with my cat and sent us an update and picture every visit. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have experience with all sorts of animals and as long as you teach me I'm fine with pets who need meds, or have special diets. I have 2 dogs at home, and 1 cat and i have experience with other animals too. I am licensed so transportation isn't an issue. I'm just trying to earn a little extra cash while going to school, and I love animals so being able to spend time with pets makes me happy. I am 23 years old. I am a stay at home mom, so I pretty much have the whole day available, especially if I can bring my son along, he’s only 5 months so I often wear him in a carrier when I walk my own 3 active high energy breed dogs! I try to treat them as my own, I’m a big animal lover so I’ll do everything in my capacity to make sure your pet is loved and comfortable while your away.
About: I work at a pet hospital that specializes in the care of cats and dogs, where I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 2 and a half years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs. I have a fenced back yard and love getting outside to take dogs on a walk and/or potty break. I stay very active, so I can accommodate all types of dogs ranging from high energy, to older dogs who love relaxing on a cozy blanket on the couch. I have one small dog that loves to play with other dogs. As a teenager and young adult I watched professionals train dogs and I cared for them as well. Like most of us, I went through puppy preschool with the the first dog I owned too. I can accommodate small and medium sized dogs. They will need to be potty trained. I would love to put your mind at ease and give your dog a safe, happy, and loving experience! Please let me know if you have any questions. I work from home full time. This allows me the flexibility to give your dog lots of potty breaks, walks, love, and attention! Please let me know what your dog’s schedule is like at home and I will accommodate that for you. I have a fenced backyard. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, so they can feel right at home. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible during their stay.

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.
