“Rosemarie was amazing. She took good care of my two cats, one is on special medication and he took more patience. She sent cute pictures and my boys were well cared for. Thank you for taking care of my babies.”
“Hailey did a great job taking care of our cats and loving on them while we were out of town! She also did a good job giving my elderly cat her insulin injections. Would recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!
“Alexias took wonderful care of my cats! She went above and beyond and even took one to the vet. Would highly recommend her to anyone and would request her again if I need them looked after. Thank you, Alexias!”
“Kaelin is so amazing with our Senior Gentleman kitty!🐈⬛ I know he snuggled and loved the whole time we are gone. She is great at giving him meds and giving me updates on his health while away. I have no stress or fear while away as Kaelin gives us peace of mind while she is with our little lovey boy. She is wonderful!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old, and cats aince I was 15. I have trained, bathed, walked, and simply adored dogs for all these years! I worked with a certified trainer to train my Lucy in obedience and service tasks. I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors dogs, senior cats, and kittens. I have nursed and fostered kittens as young as three weeks to get them out of barn dumps and into loving homes. My youngest cat, Courage, is my first ever foster fail! I am not shied away by medications either, as I have plenty of experience with administering them to both cats and dogs. I currently work full-time as a special education teacher. I am available on weekdays after 4:30pm, and I'm very open on weekends. I can also accept longer bookings on weekdays that fall under school breaks! I take pet parent concerns to heart, and I follow written directions down to the letter! I am very attentive to detail and strive to make each experience a positive one. I will ensure I am doing everything possible to keep pets safe and happy in my clients' homes. I can clean up toys as needed, fill water bowls, and scoop litter boxes to maintain a neat environment.
“Olivia is WONDERFUL!!! She is very attentive and communicative. We definitely felt that she cared for Indy in a very personal way. We would definitely recommend her to watch any and all of your animals..”
About: I am an animal lover! I have a dog named piper she's a small little angel and my life hasn't been the same since I've had her. I want people to feel comfortable leaving their furry bundles of love with someone who can love and protect them! I take the dogs I am watching to the dog park at my apartment where they can run and play. Also, if interested I can bathe your dog before he or she comes home. Your dog will have a blast with many toys and walks and naps on the couch! I am a currently not working so I’ll be at home all day with my fur babies and hopefully yours. I have a very flexible schedule I always keep the dogs I am watching on a leash unless it is a fenced backyard. I’m always paying attention and capturing cute moments.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
