About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. From my dog, to my family member's dogs, I've taken them on walks, given medication through pill pockets, fed them, brushed them, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they could ever want! I'm working part time, so I can give as much attention as possible to your pets! I'll be constantly in the area, so no need to worry about your pet being alone for too long. I’ll take the fur baby (or babies) on walks, play with them, love on them, and everything in between! Any need they could have, I can meet.
“Morgan is always right on time leaves great pictures of my pet. She pays attention to his needs when she's here, even if it's not on the list. We love having Morgan come back!”
“Keeley is a wonderful sitter who cares deeply for your animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch your pets who’ll love your pets as much as you do!”
About: I have been pet sitting for most of my life as well as caring for my own animals at home. I have worked at, volunteered at, and fostered for dog and cat shelters as well as many other animals, and have volunteered and worked at a veterinary teaching hospital. You will not find someone more passionate or empathetic about animals of any and all shapes and sizes. When people weren’t there for me, my animals were, and I have vowed to be there just the same for them. I am a strong creature of habit, and love a good structured routine to my day. Feeding all of my animals is a heavy part of that, and the best part. I start and finish my days making sure everyone is fed, loved, and happy, and if they are then it is a good day. Being able to take a lunch break to visit more animals is an added bonus that I will look forward to all day. I always make sure to specialize care to the animals themselves, and mimic how their own parents care for them. If an animal needs more frequent visits, longer visits, extra play time, medications, specialized meal plans or supervised meals I will always accommodate to the best of my ability. I will never leave an animal until they are satisfied with my service.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
About: I am familiar with animal care for dogs, cats, chickens, and some birds. I have been a short-period caretaker for various animals since high school. I love spending time with energy-filled animals, old seniors, birds, and everything in between. I have overnight dog sat for up to 3 weeks at a time. I enjoy going on walks and spending time lounging with furry pals. I do not have experience training, but I am happy to follow any detailed instructions provided :) Currently, I am a full-time student at WSU. Which leaves me with limited services, but I am happy to fit in what I can! I am mostly available for morning and afternoon dog walks :) After graduation on May 9th, I will be a pretty open book as I do not plan to be working this summer aside from pet care. I do not travel much, so I will be available for longer care periods! I am able to adapt to unique daily routines and distribute medicine as needed. I am quick to learn and love making new furry pals!
About: I have worked professionally with dogs for the past 4 years, and have had experience caring for them personally throughout most of my life. I also occasionally volunteer at the Whitman County Humane Society. I am comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and have plenty of experience with administering medications, following elaborate care instructions, and cleaning all kinds of messes. I love dogs and love keeping them happy and healthy! I am currently in between jobs, so my availability is pretty wide open. If you are considering me for your pet’s care, I can make as many home visits during the day as you need and am able to stay with your pet overnight as well. Due to sharing my living space with others, I am not available to have pets stay with me in my home at this time. I have a fear-free approach when handling animals, and will let them choose the pacing of our interactions. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! My old dog had diabetes so I am comfortable with administering medication for animals. I am very flexible with my time and hours as well so please reach out! I have a part time job on the weekdays that gets out after 10 as well as school, but my weekends are free so I am always able to dog sit Friday-Sunday! I will follow any bounties and rules for my clients home to a T and will make your animals my first priority! I want to create a safe and loving environment for your animals while I am taking care of them!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all kinds for many years through helping friends, neighbors, and family members! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m also comfortable with energetic puppies and senior pets that may need extra care and attention! I am working part time this summer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for walks, check-ins, playtime, and feedings! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will treat your pets like my own by giving them lots of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal routine. I’m reliable, responsible, and respectful of both your pets and your home.
About: Hi, my name is Carly. I myself am a dog mom and I understand how important it is to make sure your loved ones are in good care. I love taking care of animals. They are always part to the family. Growing up I have taken care of many animals for as long as I can remember. I work my schedule around the pet's schedule. Whether it's a quick little walk or long hours of play time. Every pet has their own needs that need to be met in a scheduled time. I personally love to give them my undivided attention. Playing fetch and dog games with them helps build a bond and trust. My dogs love to play fetch and go for walks, so I always set time aside for take them outside for a couple hours to play and go for a walk.
About: I have had a plethora of dogs growing up all ranging from little Pomeranians to cattle driven Border Collies to Great big Danes! In my four years of pet experience, I worked with two Cane Corso’s training, walking, cleaning up all their drool, washing them, and overnight watching them from puppies together till I had to sadly leave them to come to school this year. I watched them everyday for 5+ hours, taking them on walks and always was willing to drive them to the mountains because I know how much they love the snow. I am willing to take your dogs anywhere to reach their maximum happiness and the 10,000 steps dogs need too! I never missed a day of sitting them and if I had to miss one, I always made sure to rely that information with plenty of time ahead. I am in the agriculture industry, and am strong enough and not afraid to deal with reactive and high energy dogs, since I have experience with both. I would love to see the adventures I can take your pets on! I am a student at the University of Idaho, but M/W/F before 8:30, and after 1:30 I am available to book any service! Tuesday’s I am free to give my undivided attention to any pup or cat! Usually my afternoons consist of homework and taking my own puppy on walks and to the park to play fetch. So taking care of animals and putting my time forward to pets is not second nature, it’s a routine! I make sure I keep my pup on a specific time of eating and walking during the week so she does not get stressed out or worried. I have a large dog crate in my home that can be used. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large field behind me that me and a pet can go and play in. My house already has one pup who gets along with any type of dog and is very passive. She is not a huge cat lover.
About: I have my golden retriever that I keep energized daily and is very good with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom. I have been caring for dogs since I was young and have a large area for dogs to play in. I’m patient and loving with all sizes, shapes, and breeds. I have a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter, and 1 year old that are used to dogs now and absolutely loves to play with them. I can always accommodate to any dog or cat. Old, young, energetic, aggressive, etc. I’m not a professional trainer but consider myself to train dogs very well. I have lots of time to give them attention and exercise! I’m excited to meet every single one! I live in a ground floor apartment. I have a part time job at the moment but looking to care for animals full time eventually! I absolutely love spending time with animals and would love to watch your friend! I give them lots of love and attention. We play fetch, go on walks, watch TV together, snuggle, play in the water during the summer.
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior horses while I was out town. They required medication and special feed, and she handled it with ease. She was very professional and reliable, and the horses seemed well-cared-for and happy upon return. Thank you!”
“Rebeca is FABULOUS. I traveled to Mexico for spring break right as Covid was taking hold and she was extremely understanding when I almost got stuck there. She went above and beyond for my cat and my snake and made sure they were both happy and healthy in my absence. Highly recommended, friendly and flexible.”
“Very great job, cares for the pets. Very good with them as well. I have three pits and was scared to leave with anyone but you can tell the experience Mango has with those type of dogs. First time using this and I recommend it.”
“Jesse is fantastic. My cat is not fond of other people, he hides and does not eat well. Jesse was able to get him to come out to her and interact with her. We thank you for the love you showed our family. We loved the pictures you sent and the updates we recievwd while we were away. Thank you Jesse.”

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.

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.
