“Abigail was great to work with, and very pleasant. She took super "wildlife" pictures of my Fur People, and was prompt in communications. One of my cats is shy, but Abigail was able to get him to warm up to her.”

“Elizabeth was great! We met before the reservation to go over medication and feeding. Bing and Elizabeth got along great together. If I go away again, I will definitely try to book her again.”

“Ariana is amazing! She takes such great care of my fur baby and treats him with so much love and attention. She's always responsive, sends photos, and provides detailed updates so I know exactly how things are going while I'm away. She consistently goes above and beyond, and I trust her completely. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Abby! I’m a remote worker based in Saco, Maine. I have a very sweet lab/boxer mix Tilly who gets along well with other dogs. I grew up caring for multiple dogs, cats and rabbits and have also pet-sat for family, friends and roommates quite a bit. I feel confident with all breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m home almost all day and have a very flexible schedule. I offer walks and drop-ins in the Saco area, but I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting. Just message me if you have any questions - I’d love to meet your fur babies! I work remotely as a freelance designer so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day for drop-ins and walks and can do overnights with enough notice. I am very respectful of how others prefer to care for their pets and their homes. I will treat your beloved pet like my own and make sure to follow your outlined instructions for them. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable while you are away is key!

“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”

About: I work at an emergency vet and have ample shelter experience, meaning that I love to take care of any type of animal. Have cats? Amazing! Have dogs? Also amazing! Have Chickens? Also also amazing! Whether your dog is super social or has stranger danger—I will gladly take care of any breed of dog. As previously mentioned I do love stranger danger pups—with my shelter experience, I’m incredibly skilled and patient with going at their pace. If you do have a stranger danger dog, I will gladly meet up as many times as needed for them to be comfortable with me free of charge before services are needed :) I work nights, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! If there’s any special care needed, I would be happy to accommodate and chat! I’m very respectful of other’s homes—I will cater to the animal’s needs! Doesn’t matter if they have a unique feeding routine or if they’re high energy. I’m also educated on resource guarding, so just let me know what’s needed! :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.
About: I love animals and the energy they bring to a space. I have a cat now, have had several cats over the past 15 years and family cats and dogs growing up. I have either lived with roommates dogs or have friends or relatives with dogs that I consider family. I love interacting with all animals and have a respect and understanding for their needs and care. A walk in the backyard, down the street, time at the beach, going on a hike or just spending time inside, all seem like good options to me! I am respectful, honest, kind and compassionate. I am an Artist focusing in the Visual, Performing and Healing Arts. I will take good safe care of your pet as if they were part of my family. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Jean was wonderful! My shy cat was treated like royalty and was taken such good care of. I was so relieved on my vacation, knowing my cat was being looked after. Highly, highly recommend.”

About: Friends, family, coworkers and mutual friends have trusted me to care for their fur-babies for many years. I have experience with all types of dogs and all types of situations. Whether it be a feed and a quick potty break, walks, or a week long stay, I have consistently provided a safe environment for these dogs. I’m a middle school teacher with a lot of free time in the summer and open afternoons during the school year! I am hoping to fill my time helping your family! I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes in the home. Although, I avoid these messes by being consistent with walks/letting dogs out to use the bathroom on a regular basis. I love creating a safe, but stimulating environment for dogs to spend their energy. As the weather warms up, I love being outside and/or going on walks to get both me and the dog(s) out of the house!

About: Experienced veterinary technician assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled in medication administration and comfortable caring for pets of any age or size. I go to school and work a job but I also find myself with lots of free time during the week. I would like to fill that time. I use the necessary precautions in regards to the animals breed, size, age, and weight in order to maintain a healthy environment for the animal.

About: I have taken care of 25+ dogs and cats in the past 3 years, to include in home/overnight pet- and house-sitting, dog walking, brushing, litter box maintenance and pill-based medication administration. When taking care of other people’s pets, I provide the attention and care that I was seeking for my own cat and dog (who, sadly, are no longer with me.) My top priority is the safety of the pet, and to that end, I take no risks with the animals in my care – food protocols are carefully followed, walks are always on leash and doors are carefully monitored to ensure indoor cats remain indoors. With my pet care services, you will have: • Happy, safe and well-cared-for pets • A clean and orderly (tidy) home • Clear and timely communication • Regular and frequent updates (with photos and videos of your pets) • Reliable and dependable pet and home care As a recently-retired educator, I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time for your pets. I am available for daily walks, overnight or weekend house sits (your house or mine) and vacation sits (1-4 weeks is typical). When starting a new relationship with a client and their pet(s), I schedule a brief ‘pop over’ appointment where I can meet the animal(s) in the presence of their humans. This helps everyone involved – pets and humans – get to know me and feel comfortable with me before I take on the responsibility for the pet. I take care to be calm around the pets I sit - I let both cats and dogs take their time to warm up to me (come to me when they are ready, sniff my hands, my person, my things). I am careful when feeding animals - particularly dogs - giving them space. I follow the pet's routine - if they sleep on the bed, I let them sleep on the bed; if they like to go in and out frequently, I let them go in and out frequently. I try to make them as comfortable as I can, in their human's absence.

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.

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 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.
