“Having Christine watch our little furbabys while we were gone was a blessing its the first time in 2 years we left them home alone and yet i know with Christine watching them they got lots of loving care, i loved the photos and video updates of our kitties.”

“Faith was the perfect cat sitter! She always makes sure to go above & beyond with the level of care she provides. We were so grateful to leave our kitties in such great hands.”

About: I have worked with animals off and on my whole life. I’ve had four dogs growing up including my current dog. I do have experience with epilepsy since my current dog does have it. I can also help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I am currently trying to find a new career so working with doggos in the meantime will help me in that journey. I am open for walks or checks in during the week, but can only do stayovers on the weekends. I unfortunately can not have pets at my current residence as it is my parents, but I am more than willing to multiple stops or even overnights for your pets. I will love and care for them as if they’re my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all stages over the years and I am equipped to care for animals of every age. Most recently my dogs have entered senior status so I have lots of experience providing the care they need, but I am experienced with caring for puppies and adolescent animals as well. I am a student at UWL so I have a fairly flexible schedule. During the week my schedule varies with my class schedule but Thursday through Sunday I am most available, which is perfect for weekends away! I am unable to house animals in my home due to my landlord not allowing pets, so I will treat your animals and your home in a safe and respectful manner. I have pet-sat and babysat numerous times so I am a trustworthy and reliable source that will treat your pets with the care they need and deserve!

About: I have taken care of my two pit bulls since the start of high school. I love giving affection to them, including others I have met in person. I used to have a senior dog who had joint problems and needed help on the stairs, bed, and sofa. I also love meeting my friends’ pets and giving them the same affection as I do with my own pets. I do drop in visits, house sitting, and dog walking. I would love to give your fur babies a bunch of affection and care. I’ll make sure to update you regularly with pictures so you know that your pets are in safe hands. Your pets safety is my top priority. For dog walking, I’ll make sure they stay off the road when the pavement is too hot and/or a car is coming. I will also stay alert to my surroundings. I am unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and/or cats! I will be available Sunday through Thursday. I'll do my best in following your schedule so your pets won't get stressed by any sudden changes. I'll make sure to ask any questions on how to take care of your dogs and cats so I won't make any needless mistakes. I will also send you updates of your pets by sending you photos and texts.
“Linsie was great! Very communicative and thorough, and made sure to spend time with my two cats. As someone who was a Rover provider myself for a few years before this, I can say she ticked all the boxes!”

About: I grew up with shelter dogs my whole life, and we always had three dogs at a time, so I’m very used to different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. Having rescue dogs taught me a lot of patience and helped me learn how every dog has their own needs and routine. Something that sets me apart is my hands-on experience with training my German Shepherd Husky mix at home, so I’m comfortable working with high-energy dogs and helping reinforce good habits. I also have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors, so I understand the extra gentleness and patience they sometimes need. Honestly, I just really love being around dogs and miss mine at home, so I’d love the chance to spend time with some furry friends and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am in school full time and I work at Chick Fil A part time, but I am done with classes most days by 3pm so I am willing to walk dogs on those days! I also do not go home hardly ever, except holidays so I can do weekend care as well! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to stick closely to their normal routine because I know how important consistency is for dogs. One of my dogs at home, Maui, will even get sick if breakfast is more than about 30 minutes late, so I truly understand how much pets rely on their schedules for comfort and health. I’m also very comfortable cleaning up after pets and handling any accidents quickly and responsibly. Being an only child, I’ve always been the one to step in and take care of messes at home, so it comes naturally to me to keep both the pet and the home clean and comfortable. I also know how reassuring updates can be for pet parents. Whenever my family goes on trips, my mom loves receiving photos of our dogs, so I always plan to send picture updates and little check-ins so owners know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hello! My name is Melo. I am a full time pet lover! I am blessed with 4 beautiful cats, and a gorgeous Beta Fish! Since a young age I have had a huge passion for animals. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, chinchillas, sugar gliders, and lizards. I would do it all again in a heartbeat! My passion for animals extends to my friends and family’s fur babies. I’m always the one to call when they are in need of a sitter. Being around animals makes my heart so full and I cherish every moment I have with them. I am hoping to open up an animal sanctuary in the future so all of the houseless fur babies get the love, care, and attention they deserve! I’m am currently self employed therefore I have an open schedule! I’m extremely flexible and am able to meet the majority of your pest sitting needs. I have a fenced in backyard if your puppers need to roam around for a bit or play fetch! I personally also take my youngest cat outside to play during the day as well! I love to go on walks and spend the majority of my time outside and would love to have your pet join me! All of my cats get 30+ minutes a day of play time and receive 3 nutritional wet food meals a day.
“Ashlyn did a wonderful job with checking in and taking care of our two cats! She was great with communication and gave us plenty of photos of our cats while we were gone. She spent time with them each visit giving them they attention they needed while we were gone! Even handled giving our one cats medication. Would book her again!!”

About: I grew up with many different dog breeds. I can administer medication, feedings, walking, running, and give them all the potty breaks in the world. I love all animals and will treat yours like my own. I’m currently working part time and out of school for the summer. I’ll be free during night time routines or early morning walks and all day on my days off. I follow specific instructions for your fur baby and keep him or her safe and cared for during my time with them. If they need to be crated before I have to leave, that will be done. They will also be given any enrichment that you had planned.
About: I have 2 lovely dogs who are my best friends! I take them all on walks almost every day, I have also trained them all, and feed them and play with them everyday of course! I love taking new pups for walks as much as my own. Im currently working part time so I would absolutely love to walk your dog any chance I can get! I also love cats and would love to care for your cat as well, I will play with your cat and cuddle with your cat! I have 2 amazing dogs of my own who love meeting and making new friends! I have a huge heart for dogs so im making a new friend as well! I also have the sweetest cat who I care for and I adopted him about a year ago. I spoil him with treats and new toys all the time!
“We were so stressed about leaving our kitties for a long trip, but we really hit the jackpot when someone recommended Ajia to us. Lots of pictures and videos were shared with us, and we never worried about a thing! Highly recommend ❤️”

About: I’ve been housesitting and petsitting family and friend’s animals for about 10 years now and would love to assist in making sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re gone :) I’m currently working part time throughout the week, therefore my schedule is open and available 7 days per week to assist in any way I can. I have experience working with pets that are crated, not crated, puppies, adults, require a fenced in backyard, walk on a leash, etc. in order to be prepared for any furry friend I may run into :)
“Karlie goes above and beyond. She is very thorough and so sweet with out pups. She doesn't just do the bear minimum, she goes the extra mile to make you and your pups feel comfortable. She even made our dogs custom bandanas with their names on them! 10/10 service. Book with Karlie!”

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare and I worked with horses for about a year, so nothing scares me. I fostered a dog for a year until she found her forever home and now I have my own rescue. She is my whole world. I will treat your furbabies like my own because I know they are your whole world too. I work 2 part-time jobs with a lot of availibility/flexibilty. I typically work either midday or evening, but it changes daily. I would work well with a flexible schedule. We would go for many walks during the day. My dog loves to play so they can tire each other out. If comfortable with other dogs, we could visit the dog park.

About: I've had many, MANY years of experience with dogs, cats, AND exotic animals! I've accumulated 5 total years working in an upscale pet industry, taken several pet health and nutrition courses, as well as a years experience in the Veterinary Technology field where I cared for many, many dogs and cats with varying health and behavioral conditions. Skills: Dog & Cat Caretaking (+ Pictures!!) Medication Assistance Senior and Anxious Pet Experience Multi-Pet Household Experience I'm currently working, but I always make time for animals. I'd be consistent and careful to maintain a routine surrounding your pets care, especially if there are medications involved! I make sure they are happy, healthy, and I spend as much time with them as I can so they don't get lonely. Mental health is just as important as physical for all animals! With my Vet Tech experience, I know how to monitor for basic illnesses and pain, and I know how to administer medications if needed. You can rest assured that your pet will be taken care of physically, mentally, and emotionally!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 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.
