“Alexandra was a tremendous caregiver to our cats, Millie and Maggie!! Millie was sick just before we left for our 2-week trip to Japan and had daily "accidents" all over the house while we were gone. Alexandra cleaned up the mess, showing us pictures of "before and after" the clean-up. Her remarkable care will never be forgotten! She was also able to coax our very shy Maggie out to give some treats. That's never happened before. Thank you, Alex!!”
“Natalie was my first ever rover experience and she was so amazing! She checked on my two girls over a long holiday weekend and was amazing about communication. She even got my more shy kitty to come out and play every time she was here! Definitely would recommend Natalie and hope to rebook her again :)”
About: Life-long crazy dog lady. I will spoil your pooch (or kitty) with attention, pets, walks, and playtime. I have experience with timid and defensive animals, and I can give your fur-baby as much (or as little) space as they need. I have flexible work hours which allow me to be home a few days a week. Otherwise, I only leave the house to go to the gym and the grocery store. While I generally consider myself a night owl, I am happy to accommodate for morning walks and feeding schedules. I have experience dealing with runners, biters, barkers, food-hoarders, and everything in between. I never go to off leash dog parks. I’ve been carrying pepper spray on walks since my dog and I were attacked by another dog on a walk- I don’t wear sound blocking headphones to stay aware of my surroundings. Responsible pet ownership is my jam!
“Olivia took great care of our pup, great communication and was patient with me as our door code didn’t initially work when she arrived…so waited several minutes until I was able to get it figured out. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her again and hopefully she’ll be willing after the door code issue today!”
About: Thank you for considering me to provide care for your fur baby. I am available to provide drop-in care for your cat or small to mid-sized dog as well as walk your dog in your absence. I have almost always had a cat in my life. I had cats all throughout childhood and for 22 consecutive years as an adult. I usually have two furry friends in my home at one time. My current loves are an 18-year-old Maine Coon and a 6-year-old Tuxedo. I can care for kittens up through geriatric kitties like mine. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am happy to take requests on short notice. I am happy to provide meds, brush your feline friend, feed, change litterbox, play with, or whatever else your cat needs. Although I have never had a dog, I have cared for the dogs of family members when they traveled or were recovering from surgery. Dog care included walking, feeding, playing, and just making sure the dogs stayed happy and healthy until my family member returned home. I appreciate the trust placed in me and can't wait to meet your four-legged companion. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am willing to take requests with just one day's notice. Your fuzzy companions will be in good hands while you travel. Just let me know what your pet need while you are away from home, and I will provide it. I will leave your home exactly the way I found it as well.
About: I have over 2 years experience at doggy daycares. I am reliable to give any walks, feeding instructions, or baths. I absolutely love animals of all kinds!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to turtles and horses! Being around animals makes me very happy and this is a way that I love to destress! I would absolutely love to help you and add a little less stress or worry to your day by playing with your dog(s), taking them on walks, whatever you might need! It causes for less stress on both parties! I used to work on a farm and my job was to feed all the animals (over 50!!) in a timely way and I absolutely loved it! If your dog has a special meal plan I will make sure to adhere to it and that they get lots of love and pets along the way!
About: I’ve been around dogs and all animals my whole life and an array of animals growing up. I’ve gained professional dog training and handling experience over the last year and a half. I’ve managed large groups of dogs and worked more independently on individualized training. I have 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats so I know how important it is for your furry friends to get loving care while you are traveling. I’m hoping to gain a clientele of drop in dog walking clients during the day on the weekdays. My work can be very flexible, so I can drop in to care for you dog during the work day. I will care for your pet by providing drop in services for dogs where we could go for a walk or play in clients yard if Applicable. Care for cats by dropping in checking food and water, scooping litter, and giving your cat some love.
About: Having animals in my life has been a constant source of joy and companionship. From playful moments to nurturing care, my journey with pets have been filled with love and laughter. I currently work full time from home! I am able to leave at any time to check in, play, feed, walk or just love on your pet! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and one cat! Both are very friendly dogs and very friendly cat (with lots of sass).
“Alexandria was awesome! She was very responsive and made sure to send pictures and updates upon visiting. Both my cats seemed very mellow and relaxed when I returned! They were very well taken care of. Would 100% recommend!”

Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need!

Please let me know about any particular services you may need!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
I highly recommend Marcale’s services! She was wonderful with our cats and I imagine she is just as attentive to other animals. She followed our instructions to a T. There were no messes to clean up when we got home and neither cat was stressed out. I simply cannot thank her enough for her care and we will be requesting her assistance again - probably in June!

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 .
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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
