“Mia was great! She took fabulous care of my animals and came consistently at the times requested. She was very kind and flexible with everything we needed. I will definitely be reaching out again if I need a pet sitter again!”

“James is a fantastic, prompt and effective sitter! We have an 18 year old blind & deaf cat who requires a lot of affection and attention since he’s a little lost in space these days. James gave Tippy a routine every morning & evening and he was always on time & on top of everything we asked for which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t been able to travel since Tips needs more care but now that we found James we can and are so grateful. Thanks so much, James; we will be in touch about future trips. Tippy misses you already!! 😹”

About: New to Rover, but not new to pet care! I’ve had dogs and cats at home my entire life and have spent two years pet sitting for four large dogs. I’m also a proud dog mom to a sassy, slightly reactive dachshund, which has taught me the importance of patience, calm energy, and being aware of each dog’s unique triggers and needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am a graduate student at UCLA back at home for the summer. I am available throughout the week and on weekends with at least one week's advance notice. When caring for pets in their home, I follow each owner’s instructions to provide safe, comfortable, and consistent care. On walks, I stay alert to my surroundings and prioritize calm, safe leash handling for every dog. I will treat your pet like if it is my own.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and genuinely love what I do. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra care. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and reinforcing basic training. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are and always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet happy and stress-free. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. 🐾 I currently specialize in boarding pets in my home and prefer this over house sitting. Boarding allows me to provide consistent, attentive care in a safe, comfortable environment where I can closely monitor your pet throughout the day. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and am available most weekdays and weekends. My goal is to give your pet a fun, stress-free stay while giving you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised home where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, dependable hands. I treat every pet like a member of my own family. 🐾
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I’ve always been a sitter for friends and family in need and figured I might as well expand my services. I have a big home and yard, with plenty of grass and room to run. Our home is very pet friendly, and they pretty much are free to roam as they please. My husband and I keep the home clean, but cozy. We have kids, cats, and dogs and everyone gets along. We keep the upstairs blocked off so the cats have their own space to play and relax. There are tile floors for a cool place to nap, dog beds, cat trees, and plenty of toys. I’m a nurse and CPR certified, so your fur baby is safe with me. I only ask that your pet is friendly, and if you have a dog that they are a minimal barker as we like to keep our neighbors happy. I can help with potty training, bathing, and medicines too…whatever your pet needs. All you need to provide is your pets favorite food. I’ll take care of the rest. I work part time as a nurse, usually during the nights and my husband is a stay at home dad. I have plenty of time and energy to devote to your fur baby. I have a large home and yard with plenty of grass. There are also several dog parks within our community for your fur baby to play.
“Elaine was able to visit my cats at our home. Everything was coordinated and planned, the process was straight forward. Like the past appointment with Elaine she was wonderful to work with and I hope to use her services again in the future when traveling.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have. I also make sure to earn their trust and treat them as if they were part of my family, whether I’m taking care of them at my place or yours.
“Ashurina helped me out of a jam, was needing to head out of town last min. She came by the same day I called her to meet with myself and my 2 girls (fur baby cats). She checked in and updated me, sent pictures and had my 2 cats engaged during her drop in. Thank you so much.”
About: I have 1 cat and 2 dogs. With the pups I take them on daily walks and cooking healthy meals for them! My cat is more independent but I make sure her fur and nails are tidy ! I’m currently working part time on the weekends, so during the week I’m available all day whatever time. I like to stay busy and pet care will be a worth while way to spend my time I would adhere to the client’s rules and requests for their home and pets. I want to make this process as seamless and trusting as possible
About: Over the years, friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets. I have owned dogs and cats throughout my life and have been in the animal medical field for the last 6 years. As a pet owner I understand the uneasy feeling of having to leave your fur babies in the care of someone else in a new environment due to work, travel, or unforeseen events. I want my clients to know I provide the highest degree of professionalism but also provide home town care for their pets as if they were my own. I have the experience in making animals feel comfortable and secure, even when their parents are away! I work with dogs and cats 8 hours a day five days a week. It has been a routine for the last 6 years. I am offering pet sitting, day visits, and dog walking. I am off work at 5:00pm leaving my evening free to spend time with my own pets and any guests we have! I have two felines (male and female) that keep to themselves but are friendly when approached. In addition, I have one silly and loving female chocolate Labrador Retriever and one exuberant (social butterfly) female Doberman Pinscher. I have a large fenced yard, artificial grass area, large plastic pool (for dogs that enjoy water), and lots of toys to engage with your fur babies. I’m happy to send pictures and updates during the duration of the stay, if requested. I have a guest bedroom and large kennel available. If medication administration is needed and/or special diets are needed during the visit we can discuss specifics when you contact me. I’m also happy to house sit in your home if your animals are more comfortable in their environment. I hope to meet you and your precious fur babies soon, let us make amazing memories!
“Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.”

“Jon has been so helpful with my two French Bulldogs—checking in on them while I’m at work. He is trustworthy, very dog-friendly, kind, and professional. Whatever your specific needs are with your pets, Jon is just the type of person that is up to the task. He genuinely seems to care and will give your pets plenty of love and attention!”

“We had set up a 30 minute meet and greet. He arrived on time.we sat and chatted. Romeo got up On the couch and laid beside him. He liked Kevin’s arm. We took a stroll in our community dog park. I think he was surprised by the degree of Romeo’s fear aggression . There were three little dogs that showed up with their owner off leash and were not obeying commands. We simply held on and walk out of the park.”


About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for most of my life. Looking forward to spending time with your pet as if they were my own. I am currently a graduate student working from home. I am happy to have your furry baby with me, or happy to come to you. I have a fenced yard and a small, friendly dog named George, and two cats who will hide the entire time your baby is with us.
About: For many years I've taken care of animals. I have acquired an ability to adapt to the needs of specific pets. Whatever they need, I'm there. I'm detail oriented and very observant when it comes to animals. Rest assured, I will make sure your baby is taken care of to the best of my ability. Comfort and care are my priorities. I'm extremely open! I like to work around your schedule. I live with family right now and do online schooling. It's asynchronous meaning I can do it any time. I always keep my pets comfortable and clean. From grooming, to cleaning bedding and washing out bowls. I'm very cautious to any contaminates that can compromise the safety of a pet. Bacteria is especially rampant in outdoor areas, so I make sure my dogs are clean in the area they sleep/eat.
“My Dogs love Faith! From the first moment she walked in our door:) I would absolutely recommend Faith to all Pet owners. Very confident and reliable and we will book with her again when we need to. Thank you for caring for our pets! Buddy & Isabella say thank you too:)”
About: I grew up on a farm with all types of animals and I love taking care of them. Ive had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two chihuahs, a German Shepard, and two cats. They are all friendly and used to other dogs and cats. I have experience taking care or kittens, cats, puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. I will walk them several times a day and play with them. I can house them overnight, watch them for the day, or just walk them. I have two separate gated yards where they can run around and play. They can also come inside the house since my pets are allowed anywhere in the house that I am. I have reliable transportation if housesitting is needed and I am available all the time.

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.

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.
