“Haley was very diligent with feeding, cleaning and giving my senior cat her meds. She seemed to key in to their personalities and they clearly warmed up to her after hiding under the bed for the first visits. I have already rebooked her.”
“Maisie was so great! I felt very comforted that she was around to keep my kitty company. She gave great updates, played with him tons, and left my house very clean and tidy. Can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Ryan did a great job with our two kitties while we were on vacation. They seemed very happy and content when we got home :) We will definitely think of her again in the future when we need a pet sitter!”
About: Ever since I was little, friends and family have frequently relied on me for extra pet care. Ranging from taking dogs on walks, to checking in and feeding pets or home sitting while owners enjoy their vacation, I have done all types of pet care! I work on trail crews during the summer and do not work in the winter. Therefore I have plenty of availability and throughout the day and on a weekly basis! I always ask owners about the methods they use to take care of their pets and ensure their safety. I will always make sure I treat their pets as they themselves would
About: I feel very comfortable in all areas of pet care. From working as a tech I am proficient in assessing pet needs, administering medications and overall I love seeing pets feeling good! I work part time ski instructing and part time slinging coffees, leaving 3 days a week for me to care for my local pets! I miss having a dog or cat of my own and working with Rover is a great way of remedying that! I have a fully fenced in yard, live in the Rattlesnake with great creek walks all around! I don’t mind staying in others’ home, I look forward to meeting your pet where they are most comfortable!
About: Animals make life better! I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 8-years-old, walking neighborhood dogs and checking in on cats. During the pandemic, I volunteered at an animal shelter in Indiana. I ran miles with active dogs, provided enrichment through puzzle feeders, and even created videos about adoptable pets that ended up on the local news (and helped them get adopted!). Most recently, I’ve worked with an animal shelter in Missoula, helping them build up their social media and outreach. I have experience with kittens, puppies, rabbits, chickens, senior pets and dogs that are dog-aggressive or anti-social. I strive to provide the best pet care because they’re our family members and we want them in the best care while we’re away. I’m a strong communicator and always send text updates and photos! I’m a graduate student a the University of Montana. My days are flexible. I can feed/check-in during the morning, evening, or both depending on how much you need me. The animals safety is always top priority. I make sure to give your pet attention if they want it, give them treats, give them fresh water and for cats—scooping their box each visit. I always make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave or close the door. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their family is away!
About: I have worked with dogs, cats, ducks, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional turtle. I love animals and am a very attentive sitter. I follow schedules to the tea. Pets are just like kids so I always like to make sure they’re taken care of! My favorite thing to do is dog walks. Not only is a walk a day great for keeping the vet away but it also is great exercise for the hooman. The biggest dog I have walked and cared for is a husky and the smallest dog was a chihuahua. I have experience in house sitting and pet care through family and friends and dog owners like you who request my assistance while you relax on vacation. I have cared for their pets for about 6 years now. I also have experience bathing, feeding, walking and play time! P.s. I will provide you with photos of your pet during each visit with owner and fur friend permission. I try to update my schedule as best as I can to keep up with availability accuracy. On my days off, I can care for our furry friends morning, afternoon and evening. Whatever meets your needs! On days that I have a more packed schedule, I still find the time to be as flexible as can be. I follow every instruction given. The more details the better so I can ensure your furry friend feels safe and in comfortable environment. I often find routine and familiarity to be the best ways to provide this so I do my best to ensure I follow every request. I will send you pictures of your furry friend while you are at work or away to hopefully relieve some stress and know they are being taken care of.
“Holly took such great care of our kitty! She provided excellent updates and made sure he stayed on his medication schedule 10/10 recommend her wonderful services!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and my love for animals has not diminished as I’ve grown up. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and tiny puppies alike, and family has always relied on me to care for their animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have lots of time to help out! My schedule is generally open and can be modified to accommodate needs. While I don’t offer in-home boarding because I live in an apartment, I will travel to wherever you are and can either stay there if needed or drop in frequently. Whatever works for you!
About: I have over two decades of hands-on experience, including caring for my own cats and dogs, each with unique needs. I’m highly attuned to routines, so your pet’s day will run as if you never left. I love every pet as my own, work to earn their trust, and provide a consistent, doting presence. You can expect clear communication and peace of mind while you’re away. Trust that I’ll be your pet’s new best friend, ensuring they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I welcome dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to sweet seniors! Whether you need one-time care, occasional visits, or ongoing support, I’m happy to help. I work for myself from home, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. For house sitting, you can expect overnight care, morning and evening routines, and midday visits. Additional arrangements are available depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashing, and I keep their environment secure and low-stress. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, exercise, medications, and bedtime, while keeping an eye out for changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. Your home will receive the same respect and attention as your pets, so you can return to a clean, comfortable space and happy animals.
About: Growing up we had 3 large dogs. Two of which were raised from puppies. I loved them with all my heart. Nate had many medical issues and we would have to make sure he had his medicine so I know how important and hard that can be. Sam was a very large breed and as he got older his hips weren’t as sturdy. We would walk him while supporting his back legs as the grew weaker. I understand aging dogs and how to watch out for their health. I am also a photographer for dog sled racing. I have helped many racers herd their dogs into formation and back to their kennels. I love working dogs and larger breeds. I enjoy tanking photos of dogs while they work or doing what they love. I am a freelance photographer, videographer, and marketer so I make my own schedule. I am available at almost anytime throughout the week. Most of my meetings are held on zoom so I seldom need to be somewhere other than a place with WiFi. I enjoy taking walks and playing fetch. I do not believe in off leash exercise as I don’t trust other dogs and dog owners. I enjoy playing tug and enriching experiences making dogs use their sense of smell and practice their manners and training.

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.

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.
