“Zachary went above and beyond for my dog at his check ins! Even when Simba was unsure about having someone new in the house at first, Zachary managed to make friends quickly and now it seems like they’re good buds! I can’t thank him enough :)”
“Kristan is great and clearly cares about our two cats! She did everything we asked of her and our cats loved her, and they are normally very shy. We will definitely ask her to help us again!”
“Jacqueline was prompt, communicative, and good with our pets with a variety of needs—not even to mention that she saved us from a last-minute cancellation. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and will contact her again if she’ll have us!”
“Monica took great care of our fur babies! This was the second time we used her as our sitter and I will definitely think of her in the future if we need someone to take care of our three cats.”
About: I am a medical student who loves animals and loves working with them. I have had pets for my whole life and also worked at the local shelter for my four years of high school, so I have a lot of experience with taking care of animals of all sizes. Currently I have a cat and large dog. I have also taken pet CPR and First-Aid classes, so I will always be prepared if an emergency occurs. I am pretty flexible with my hours and I am based in Charleston, WV and am more than willing to travel a little bit farther in order to take care of your pet and satisfy their needs. I am a huge animal lover and have a lot of experience with taking care of animals and will always make sure you and your pet are satisfied.
“Was willing to go beyond standard care and did great with our Cat you had a peculiar inside outside living situation. She even went to check for Duchess's lost collar in the last know location (we have an air tag on it)”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and adore them! Dogs, cats, and more. I’ve had experience of taking care of/ petting sitting my families pets for a few years. Love taking care of them <3 I have a very open schedule as a tattoo apprentice and I am free most evenings and mornings. I can fit pet sitting around my job. I have a fenced in yard and four sweet doggies. They are crate trained so they don’t get into stuff at night or while I’m away. I also have two cats who lay around on heated pads and live the spoiled good life. All of the animals get plenty of treats and spoilings! 🤭
“Shelby was so awesome with our cat Shiloh! She is a great communicator and easy to get a hold of when you need her. She was great at providing updates on how our kitty was doing while we were away!”
“Destiney and Ben are dreams to have care for your fur children. Very attentive, constant and consistent updates, very personal and professional, and supply many photos! Also very responsive to schedule changes and changes in the care my cats need (both of my cats have medical conditions, one has a prescription diet and needs medication). If I could give greater than five stars I would. Will definitely book again in the future”
About: Hi there! I’m absolutely excited to take care of your pup(s) and/or cat(s). I’ve taken care of pups in the past few years when friends and family needed someone. I’ve taken care of a Dalmatian baby girl to a Great Dane. Currently available for most of the week at the moment. Especially Monday-Fridays but I am definitely willing to work weekends if I’m not busy 😁 I try to keep my calendar updated daily. I would love a list provided for the foods your dog can eat so I can manage his or her diet appropriately. In addition, if he or she has toys, let me know so we can play!! Lastly, please let me know if your pet has any anxiety. I want to make sure your pets feel as safe and comfortable as they do with you. 🥰 Currently a full time student! So I can come visit or walk your pet before or after school. I have most weekends off unless I’m out hiking. Unfortunately, I cannot offer sitting in my own home at this time. Thank you for your understanding. I have sat for many people over the past few years.
About: I have five+ years of hands-on professional dog care experience, including two years as a certified dog trainer at Petco where I taught basic obedience and AKC classes. I also spent three years working in kennel and doggy daycare environments, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments on a daily basis. I'm comfortable with high-energy doggos and everything in between. I understand dog body language and know how to keep pets calm, safe, and happy in their pet parent's absence. I have worked with hundreds of puppies and dogs of all ages professionally and genuinely love animals and taking care of them. I am available majority of weekdays with a lot of flexibility in scheduling. I can accommodate early morning, late morning, evening, and night visits Monday-Friday. The only time I am generally unavailable is between 12PM-3PM during the weekdays, but am happy to work around your schedule outside of that window. Weekend availability varies, so feel free to reach out and I will do my best to accommodate. I understand that pet care needs can change quickly, and I aim to be as flexible and responsive as possible for the families I work with. Your home means your rules. I follow and respect all care instructions left by pet parents to the letter, including feeding schedules, medications, restricted areas, and routines. I treat every client's home with respect and take the safety of your pet seriously at all times. With my background in professional dog training and kennel care, I'm experienced at recognizing signs of stress, illness, or behavioral changes and will communicate anything concerning to you promptly. I always send updates during visits so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Carlee took great care of my cats while I was away on a trip! She was responsive and took lots of pics of my fur babies. I felt so relieved knowing my cats were with someone I could trust!!”
About: I have learned everything there is to know about small animal care in school and in practice. I love my four babies and I have pet sat for years ! Lizzards, sugar gliders, kittens and great Danes lol!! I work at a vet hospital to further my leanring from graduateing with my associates in veterinary technology, i also study about animal on my free time! I have a two story house with self cleaning litter boxes and a fountain water bowl for my cats. They have bedding to lay on and plenty of windows to look out of.
About: I provide dependable, personalized care that’s tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup is playful, or needing a slower pace, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I also make communication a priority. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your time away easier for both you and your dog by creating a caring, reliable, and attentive experience from start to finish. I am currently out of school for the summer. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than squeezing in between other responsibilities. I also build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and care needs whether that means extra walks or sticking closely to a medication or feeding schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and any house rules the pet is already used to.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. When I was in college I became the go to pet sitter to watch my friends and family pets for years. Because I am a bit of a stronger person, my friends know that I can handle some of their bigger dogs tugging on the leash. Also, with my beard, dogs think I am one of them. I am currently a remote worker and I can take as much time as I need to take care, play, walk, feed or whatever the client needs. Because I am a big lug myself, I allow pets to have fun and be happy loving animals. I give off alpha dog energy and dogs will understand the deep serious tone in my voice, but will also respect me after I give them lots of love and treats.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Charleston
Annaliese took amazing care of my cat during a week-long trip that suddenly turned into 10 days as a result of travel complications. She went above and beyond by agreeing to do extra visits to care for my boy while I was stuck out of state. She sent plenty of pictures of her cuddling and playing with him, kept up communication with me, and left the house just as I left it. Peace of mind that your pet is okay is everything when you’re trying to enjoy a vacation, and Annaliese’s care assured me that my boy was in great hands. Thank you!!

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.
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 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.
