“Tia came twice a day to administer my cat’s 12 hour medication schedule. One of my cats hisses at people, but Tia was able to win him over. All instructions were followed, and she left my house tidy, even taking out the trash. I highly recommend Tia!”
“Sophia was great stopping by watching my cat, and she was helpful even though I had some uncertainty with my dates. She responded quickly and sent me pictures while I was away for the holidays, and I came back home to a happy cat! Highly recommend!”
“Amara was the best pick for my extended international trip. She went above and beyond watching my two cats. Watering my plants and bringing in my mail without even asking her to. She is clearly a cat lover and it put my mind at ease that they were getting the TLC they needed while I was away.”
“Courtney is great! My dogs love her and we have already booked her for more drop in visits next month. She is communicative, timely, and great with rowdy dogs. She followed all of our instructions perfectly. Thanks Courtney!”

About: I currently work as a ‘pet specialist’ in a pet store. I have lots of experience with different breeds,ages,and sizes of dogs. I am also experienced with caring for sick or recovering animals that are in need of specific medical attention along with administering medication. I have experience with reptiles, small animals such as ferrets or guinea pigs,birds,and cats as well. I’m more than willing to handle any task or behavioral specific need you have with any pet. Most importantly I promise to provide them with the best care, love, and playtime:) I currently work part-time, only a few days out of the week, so I will have lots of time to make sure your pet or pets receive all of the love and care they would get on any normal day:) In your home I would always approach the pet with caution and tenderness for any pets that may be timid or weary of new people. For pets that are high energy and outgoing they would receive the same back! With lots of love, playtime, and comfortability!
About: Animals are so unique. The way they play, eat and sleep, every animals deserves special, intentional care. I love being around animals of all kinds and want to make sure people feel at ease when they’re family need to leave their pets at home. My schedule is relatively consistent. I have availability all day on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays and my week nights are open for pet care as well. In a clients home, I am respectful of their home and their animals. I follow directions and will do what is necessary to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
“Kaeli was great! Super friendly and I really appreciated the quick turnaround for a meet and greet and first drop in visit. She left me a detailed message about the visit and pictures of our pup having a great time with her! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Juliet was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog, Lucy! She took such great care of her, including administering medication carefully and responsibly, which gave me real peace of mind. Juliet also kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, so I always knew Lucy was happy and in good hands. She truly went above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for 24 years I used to live on a farm and still to this day I watch animals any kind I love working with them and every time I see an animal on the street I always help them Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for feeding, walking, play, and check-ins, while keeping a consistent schedule so pets feel safe and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I also handle tasks like grooming, cleaning up after pets, and giving them extra attention to make sure they’re happy and healthy.” In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow their normal routines. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep pets on their usual schedule. This can include feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medication if needed, and giving plenty of love and companionship so pets feel secure even while their owners are away.”
“I have a job that is on-call, so I find myself asking for a pet sitter somewhat last minute sometimes. Emily is great for those calls and also for when I know a need a sitter in advance! Emily clearly has a passion for dogs; my dog loves her! She goes the extra mile to make sure she knows exactly what my dog needs and wants and to make sure my dog is a happy and healthy pooch when I can't be home! Thanks, Emily! I will be a repeat customer.”
About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 17 year old daughter and/or my 12 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s), if that's OK with you. Between the three of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I create with each pet. I don’t just watch over them—I engage, play, and comfort them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away.” I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m able to work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Weekdays and weekends are both open for bookings, and I’m happy to provide consistent care for regular clients or one-time help when you need it most. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I’ll stick closely to your feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to make sure everything feels familiar while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, loving environment where every animal feels secure and cared for. I’m attentive to details, from keeping doors and gates secure to making sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I believe in building trust not just with pets, but with their people too. You can expect regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers quiet snuggles, I adjust to their needs to keep them happy and stress-free.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Colona stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
