“Jill is a VERY trustworthy animal lover, and we are so grateful we found her! She takes such good care of Bubba our disabled cat and Gia. If you need someone to take care of your fur babies, this is the person to go to!”
“Annalaura was all I could have asked for and more! Despite a busy holiday schedule she took time to visit our home before I left so she could understand the needs of my cat. She was also so so sweet and understanding even when scheduling had to be changed around. Thank you!!”
“Parker did a wonderful job watching my home and cat, Truman, for the week I was away. It was comforting to know he was here to give Truman some love and attention. I strongly recommend him. Everything was in good order when I arrived home.”
About: As a Rover Dog Caregiver, I am committed to providing exceptional care for your beloved pets. With a background in veterinary technology and a passion for animals, I ensure that your furry companions receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each dog, creating a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive in. With me, you can rest assured that your dogs are in loving and capable hands. I often volunteer at dog sanctuaries with disabled and senior dogs. And I have one puppy and one adult (both female) of my very own!! I also have a female cat I adopted 5 years ago!! I’ve cared for various small animals and reptiles also. I am an upcoming freshman in a Veterinary Technology program. I’m currently working part-time and there is never “not enough time” to care for pets!! Everyday I take time out of my day from my dogs to enjoy my company. There is no excuse for neglect! Although I do not have a fenced home I have a LOT of yard space and my neighborhood is perfect for dog walks. I also live 5 minutes away from a trusted dog park. Just tell me what I can do to best care for YOUR animal since not all dogs/cats are the same.
About: Hi, my name is Lauren! I have experience working with a wide variety of working dogs, so I understand the multifaceted care that comes with monitoring and mitigating stress, animal behavior, administering dog first aid and medications, providing fun enrichment and exercise for your pup! As someone who has a senior dog, I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and other habitual needs that your furry friend requires! I will look after them as if they were my own. I currently work part-time that has some flexibility in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work a typical 9-5, weekday kind of job so there’s a chance I can help out while you’re at work! I have a spacious apartment (with big windows to look out of) that is close by to a few parks. I like to take long walks to ensure a proper potty break for your dog, while also providing time for sniffing and exploring. In others homes, I am very respectful of boundaries and following instructions: cleaning up messes that are made, etc. I can also water your plants!
“Jennifer was a fantasitc sitter for my two cats! She took great care of my cats while I was away for a week. She gained the cats' trust very quickly and understood their routine and unique needs & play styles. Jennifer was extremely responsive and great at communication throughout the booking. I'll definitely book with her in the future and I can't recommend her enough.”
“Julia has been amazing ! 10/10 would recommend . She is great at communicating and is prompt about sending pics and updates when necessary. She is flexible and understanding to my Luna’s needs. If you need help with walking or tending to your furry friend , Julia is your girl!”
“Dania was amazing!. We were nervous about leaving town and having someone care for our kitty, but Dania cared wonderfully for our fur baby, not only attending to her basic needs, but actually spending some time snuggling and playing with her. Dania also sent daily updates to give us peace of mind. Thank you so much for caring for our kitty, if we plan for another trip, we know who to call! :)”
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household and have experience with everything from big labs to small chihuahuas. One of my family dogs had diabetes, so I understand how important routine, medication, and careful monitoring are. I also fostered a puppy who wasn’t crate trained, so I’m patient and confident working with younger dogs still learning structure. I’m very hands-on, detail-oriented, and make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My remote work schedule allows me to provide flexible, hands-on care all day long. I’m experienced with dogs who require structured routines and strict feeding schedules, and I take pride in following instructions closely. Your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care—not just quick check-ins treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks and walks, enjoy playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow all care instructions closely and always communicate with updates and pictures.

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.

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 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.
