“Ana was a fantastic petsitter. She was very flexible when we were unable to meet in person and had to send virtual care instructions. She went above and beyond expectations by checking in on our pet hedgehog and by handling our pet conure during visits. Thank you so much Ana!”
“My scardy cat boy actually came out to say hello!? If that's not a ringing endorsement idk what is 🤷 Consistent and great keeping in touch with drop ins. Plan to book again”
About: I have been taking care of my many pets (3 dogs and 3 cats) ever since I was a kid. I also have lots of pet sitting experience (walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, giving medicines, etc.) I am a full time student, so I am primarily available in the mornings and evenings. Although, I am normally able to pop in for a lunch time visit because of the way my classes are scheduled. Weekends I am completely available. For dogs, I will either let them out or take them on walks (whatever is preferred), and also feed them on schedule. For cats I properly clean their littler boxes and feed them on schedule. If medicine needs to be administered, I can also do that. I will also spend some time playing with them. If there’s anything else that needs to be done, I can do it!
“Estefani is the best! She was soooo sweet with my senior kitty. She is a great communicator and sent lovely updates each day. I felt so much better knowing she was looking after my cat. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Isabelle did a great job with my two senior kitties. She paid special attention to the health of one of them who I’m worried about. Made sure they were both eating and getting some extra protein and played with them. She was reliable and very timely, kept to her schedule as discussed and took care of the little pans. Will hire her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and chickens since I was 16. Back at home I dog, cat, and house sat for neighbors and friends. I have always been given great feedback and I love animals! I'm currently an undergraduate student at JMU! I have an extremely flexible schedule and will easily be able to take care of your pets! I am free 7 days a week although there are certain times that I do have class which we can discuss! I have 1 dog and 1 indoor cat at home! I live on a farm so we have a lot of land for my dog to run around! I am able to accommodate to pretty much anything and I love pets so they will be cared for with love!
About: I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs for family and friends. I love going on walks, playing fetch, and keeping pups happy and active, but I’m also happy to relax at home with lower-energy pets who prefer a quieter day. I have experience giving both cats and dogs oral medication and am comfortable following individual care instructions. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention as if they were my own. Starting September 13, I’ll be working full-time Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, so I’ll mainly be available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. (Until then my schedule is completely open!) My weekends are completely open and flexible! I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in their home, I’ll focus on making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play fetch, spend time keeping them company, or simply relax with them if they prefer a quieter visit. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide, while giving them plenty of attention and affection along the way. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: Have had dogs in the house and taken care of dogs since I was little, including small to large dogs, low-energy and high-energy, low-maintenance and high-maintenance. I have experience with senior dogs as well as low-mobility dogs. Current college student, I am free most days and nights. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment, so I can always work with you to find the best time. I have a car, so travel to and from your house to care for your dog(s) is not an issue. I am comfortable with any and all dogs, whether they require lots of care and attention or not.
“Jennifer was lovely! She house sat for our three cats, which includes two rambunctious kittens. She followed instructions and provided updates, and left our house in great condition.”
About: I have lifelong experience with pups of all kinds, having at least 2 in my household since I was a kid. I consistently care for my neighbor's and friend's dogs and always receive positive feedback! I also have plenty of experience with both puppies and senior dogs! Can care for cats as well! I'm a full-time college student, so my schedule varies day to day. I find plenty of time between and after classes where I can tend to your pups! I'm in an apartment so unfortunately I cannot take care of your pups at my home, only client's homes. However I am super flexible when it comes to your dogs needs and I can work around any obstacles or special preferences in your homes!
About: I’ve been caring for other peoples pets for about 8 years now. I have experience in dog walking, house visits, dog and cat bathing, dog walking, runs, administering medication, and aggressive behavior. I have experience with a wide range of animals. From chihuahuas to pitbulls, bunnies, ferrets, horses, and guinea pigs, no pet is beyond my care! I’m currently a full time student on summer break. This means my schedule is open and available 5 days a week for a range of times. I’m ready to care for your pet however they need while still maintaining a clean and safe environment at all times. I’m no stranger to medication schedules, specific feeding routines, and quirky personalities. I love just sitting and playing with the pets or taking them on long walks.
“I recently had Sarah care for my two cats, while I was out of the country for 10 days, and she did a fantastic job. My cats are pretty easy to look after - just food, water, litter box, and a little playtime but she went above and beyond. When I returned, the cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Nothing in the house was disturbed, which shows they felt loved and secure. On top of that, Sarah was thoughtful enough to bring in my mail and even took the trash can in from the curb, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: I have always had a passion for taking care of animals and with that passion I have fostered dogs, and cats, and have volunteered for WagonInnRescue since I was 4 years old. I have always had two dogs and a cat of my own. I am very comfortable around all types of animals, responsible, and trustworthy! I am in the area finishing my final semester of nursing school at JMU, and all of my classes are online. I am available most days, have a flexible schedule depending on your needs! I have cared for many different ages, breeds, and sizes so the care depends on each one but I am going to care for your animal however he or she is used to being cared for. Consistency is important, especially in young animals!
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dayton
Karmy did a great job caring for my two senior cats while I was away. They typically hide from unfamiliar visitors but came out to see Karmy on her first visit and did really well under her care. She was attentive to their routines and a great communicator with me. I would absolutely trust Karmy to care for my cats again.
Katie is absolutely fantastic to book with! She is truly a professional who knows what she’s doing and cares so much for your furry friends. She took extra care and time to make sure Remi was okay while I was away. She gave amazing updates and always kept me informed on how he was doing. She was so flexible when I needed to make some updates for our booking and just an overall all amazing person! I couldn’t be more thankful for her! We will absolutely be booking with Katie again💗

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 .
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 .
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 , 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.
