“I think Katie was a good match for our two cats. She was friendly when we met and I enjoyed the visit photos. The cats weren't scared at all, in fact they were very comfortable with her coming in. They were happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Katie!”
About: I love animals and creating a safe environment for them. I have cared for animals as small as hamsters and as big as dogs, as well as special needs dogs! We currently don’t have a pet of our own due to financial reason, so we hope to give all of our love to your pet while they’re here with us. I am a full time photographer who lives in an apartment! My schedule has huge gaps of free time and I have to get my animal fix some how! Let me love your fur baby while you’re away ♥️ Since I live in an apartment I can’t have animals with me anymore, but I have much experience in animal care. My sister is a manager of an animal care facility and has taught me everything I know over the years!
“Alyssa was great! She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was great with communication and keeping me updated. I trust that my animals were well taken care of while I was gone. I’d recommend Alyssa to watch your animals for you :)”
“This was our first time using Suzanne and the Rover app. I was really pleased with how things went. Getting the daily feedback and pictures helped me relax and not worry about my cats while on vacation! One of my scaredy cats even started to warm up to her! We will use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in middle school. I love all animals, whether they are super playful or super cuddly. While I have a soft spot for larger dogs having a German Shepherd & a Husky, I also enjoy the playful energy of small dogs & cats :) I have a full time job, I mostly work until about 4pm and am willing to dedicate the rest of my day to hanging out with your pets! My job is also very flexible and I am willing to adjust my schedule for longer stays (more than a week). I’m open to crate trained and free roaming pets. I do prefer to use a leash when going on walks to ensure the safety of your pet.
About: As to getting my first pet ever at the age of 21 to my rescue pit mix and to now owning 5 animals, 2 dogs and 3 cats, I’m an animal lover. I’ve helped family and friends with pet sitting their fur babies while they’re on vacation even if it’s for a weekend or a week. I am available any day during the weekday and also available on weekends for any stays or drop in visits if needed for any reason. I have a partially fenced in yard so I do go out with the dogs on leashes. I can also crate your dog if needed.
About: I am certified in Bathing, Safe Handling A Difficult Dog, and First Aid and CPR. I have 5 dogs of my own that I love dearly. I have grooming experience and also kennel technician experience. At home I have 5 dogs each a different breed. I love working with animals and have a full time job but a very flexible schedule! I care for all pets as if they were my own. I give them each individual attention and love. Plenty of playtime and cuddles for every furbaby!
About: I have 4 dogs of my own and grew up in a family that fosters dogs. I've taken care of dogs with various health issues, varying size, and personalities. I work a part - time job, so I got as much pet sitting as possible in my free time. My availability depends on work, but I'm super flexible as long as I'm given some notice! All the services I offer can be created to future each pet's needs! I'm happy to accommodate to you and your pet. I've grown with dogs and cats my whole life, so I understand how each pet's needs vary.
About: Growing up, my family has never not had a dog. I come from a family of dog lovers! I have experience with Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I’ve always had a passion for animals and volunteer my time as a board member of Montana Pittie Project. My dog is my child and I will treat yours like it’s my baby as well! I also have experience taking care of special needs dogs, my dog that passed the rainbow bridge in August of 2022 was special needs himself. I have fostered multiple dogs while working in rescue and have experience with many different dog personalities and needs. I love sending photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Feel free to ask me any questions! I work full time as a self employed hairstylist. With a flexible schedule I am able to take a break every day and hang out with my dog during the week. In the evenings I take Stella to a park nearby my house or we go on a walk around the neighborhood. I do have a fenced in yard. My current pup is kennel trained and it’s her safe space, if I work for a longer period than usual I have my own pet nanny or family checks in on my dog if I will be gone for too long. She is never along for more than 4-5 hours at a time. She eats in the morning and in the evening, I do not free feed. Stella has way more toys than any dog could need, and likes watching tv so I leave a nature show on for her when I leave the house. She’s a good girl.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
