“I will definitely request Mira's help again - this was our first Rover experience, and she was a blessing. She went above and beyond by dropping by to meet Sam ahead of time so he wouldn't view her as an intruder. He's 90 pounds and we're still working on his puppy manners (like jumping and the occasional body slam), and she was competent and professional in taking him on. Mira dropped by twice as requested, took him for a walk, and sent plenty of photos so we could see he was having the best time with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mira!”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs for my entire life! I love every size and breed, and appreciate the differences between each animal. I have raised young pups/kittens and taken care of 13+ year old dogs/cats. I also have experience with dogs and cats that are not spayed or neutered. I grew up with four dogs and three cats all under one roof, so I have no problem taking care of multiple fur babies at once. I start student-teaching on 8/24, so I will only be available 3-9 during the weekdays. I am completely willing to stop by after school to walk or check on your furry friend. I have Sundays completely free and am able to help anytime! I have two friendly cats that were raised with dogs and other cats. They mostly keep to themselves but love to socialize with other animals. I will treat each animal like my own!
About: I've taken care of dogs of various ages for about 2 years at the client's home. I've done baths, taken them on walks, outside to go potty, of course feeding and giving all the treats! I work in NE Cedar Rapids so I'm only able to do mid day check ins in that area. I am able to stay overnight at your home as well if needed. I provide care at the client's home. I am able to come for a drop in visit and hang out with your pet for a short time or I'm able to come and stay for the night, weekend, or longer if needed.
“Great communication and able to fit in a last-minute intro meeting before my trip without issue. Seemed great with handling my anxious pup right out the gate. This was the first time I’ve used Rover and Erik gave me peace of mind throughout.”
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.”
“Karley did a fantastic job of watching our dogs. We definitely will use her again and would recommend her to anyone! Came back to happy dogs and a well kept house! Thank you Karley!”
“Margaret is amazing with Goose and so sweet!! She’s very respectful with our time and following all the directions for his training and playtime. We really appreciate having her help us out during the week!!”
About: I love all animals, but dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I currently have 2 of my own & they are my world. My overall experience is 35+ years, with dog/cat/fish/plant & house-sitting. For the last 25 years, I’ve been dog-sitting in my home at no charge for my family/friends. In my spare time, I enjoy giving back to the community by volunteering with local animal rescues & agencies who assist children. I rescued, fostered & re-homed 30 dogs when I volunteered with Little Paws Rescue, up until their closure 15+ years ago. I currently volunteer with Dogs Forever as an event volunteer & I love it! If you hire me to care for your dog, I will give them much more than food & clean water. I will provide them love, safety, conversation, entertainment, exercise & mental stimulation. I want your dog to have a blast! I will do whatever I can to comfort & keep them happy until your return. I work full-time days, M-F. On weekdays, I would be available for up to 2 drop-ins/day & weekends would be much more flexible. I am also available most holidays. I am an extremely reliable, responsible, conscientious & respectful person. As previously stated, I am employed 40 hours/week, at the same company for 29 years, I’m a homeowner of 25 years & I’ve been caring for/dog-sitting for over 35 years. I will care for your dog & your home as if it were my own. I also have a ‘green thumb’ with both houseplants & gardening. If you find yourself needing this service, I would be happy to care for your plants, as well.
“Ashleigh is an absolute delight! I Invited her into my home and put her in charge of Missy's care with all the confidence that Ashleigh will take great care of both. She is positive, delightful, caring, kind and considerate. I trust her with my most precious things! Thank you, Ashleigh.”
“Cara is wonderful! She is a great communicator, reliable, and takes great care of our cats and older dog, just as we asked, making us feel very relieved and comfortable being away from them. We couldn’t be more grateful for Cara!”
About: I understand the importance of safety, precaution, and meeting an animals needs. My significant other and I have animals of all kinds including 2 rescue dogs, 4 cats, reptiles and rats! I've had dogs and cats all my life so I have been through it all! Through working with our 2 rescue dogs I've gained experience in reactivity, selectivity, anxiety and fear. I have experience with administering oral medication to both dogs and cats as well. No one knows your pet better than you so I am happy to accommodate any special needs or requests that you may have to give you and your pet the best experience possible! I work part time so I have a very flexible schedule and I'm always on the move. I'm able to prioritize your pets when they need it. I adore all animals and I am very careful and attentive with them. Each of my animals at home have a unique set of needs and that has given me a lot of experience with many different types of care. I will put your pets needs first and do everything I can to make sure they are safe and happy.

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.
