“We love using Emily and the addition of her son when visiting our pet. He loves hanging out with them and playing! Emily is very attentive and thorough with her visits. Outstanding communication! We will use her every time!”
“We were very happy to have Olivia take care of our kitties! She came by each day and made sure they were taken care of and given some extra attention while we were away! We could relax knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. As a child, I always wanted a pet but was frequently told no. As a teenager, a family member needed an indefinite pet sitter for his young schnauzer. I took care of his baby for 3 months and fell in love with being his provider. It was devastating when I had to return him back to his owner and my parents felt terrible. They finally saw the capable person that I was and gave me my own puppy to take care of! My mother and I were his sole caregivers up until he passed. His name was Panda. Right after school, I’d put his leash on him and would take him on lively walks. I taught him how to do tricks, even roll over! He was mostly in for the treats. I took him on my long car rides where he mostly slept in the backseat but you could tell how much he loved it. I am very serious about safety so of course he had a seatbelt. Towards the end of his life, he became sick. It was like he became a senior in one singular, sudden day. He had a plethora of medications and supplements that he needed to take that I became responsible of. I was also the spokesperson for him during his scary vet appointments. Needless to say, I will take good care of your pet. Whether they are a puppy or a senior, I have it handled. I lived a life where I was able to fully love my boy and it would be a token to him that I take care of your babies. I am currently not working so I am mostly free from Monday-Thursday from early morning to sunset. I am very selective about my time from Friday-Sunday but I can always make space for your fur baby with proper communication! I do not have the space in my home to take care of your pet but I can always go to yours! I am a rule-follower so whatever you tell me, I will gladly do. No matter how specific.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. Owning most of my pets from 4-8 weeks old until they sadly passed as seniors I have tons of experience with all age ranges of both cats and dogs alike. Growing up I had two childhood dogs named Brooke and Brandy. They were there most of my childhood, watching me grow from a child to the adult I am today, until they both passed shortly apart a couple years ago. As they watched me grow I also watched them grow; From energetic crazy puppies, to seniors. Seniors whose bodies could no longer keep up with their mind, which was still as energetic as that puppy I once knew them as. Watching them grow old sucks. As of now I own one dog who specializes in daily desert walks (sometimes twice a day), tons of treats, and lots of rough housing. At the moment I am working part time mid day and also going to the gym. I have plenty of time in between to hang out with your fur babies. Having owned both dogs and cats with widely ranging personalities and quirks, I understand the day to day routine, struggles, and how our babies are not just pets but our family. I would hope someone would take great care and attention to make sure my pets are safe, secure, and happy. Therefore I would have passion in assuring the same goes for pets under my care. Not just because I hope someone would do it for my pets, but because I genuinely love and care for all animals.

“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“I was very grateful to have Angelina come out and take care of our new adopted cat Aria. She was accommodating, conscientious, patient and is a great communicator. She offered to housesit as well, which was a huge relief. I will definitely request her services again.”
“Joanna was the best possible choice we could have made. When things fell through for a sitter right before our big family road trip she came to the rescue and helped us out so much. She loved our doggos just like they were her own and treated them just as good, if not a little better due to all the walks, then we would have! Definitely our go to for the next time we need a little help”
“Brigette is an amazing pet sitter! She took amazing care of our two cats who have very specific routines and needs. They cuddled with her which they don’t even do with our family and she took great care of our home while we were away. We received daily updates with lots of photos. The cats for sure miss you. They got a little vacation of their own with lots of play, treats and attention. Thank you Brigette for all you have done for us. You are the best!!”

“Greg saved the day for me last Wednesday when I had to get our elderly 86-lb dog Rocco out of the house, lift him into the car, drive him to the vet, then get him back in the house after the vet visit. Not your usual task as a dog sitter but Greg was willing to take it on. Thank you, Greg, for your help!”

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.

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.
