âOur kitties enjoyed their daily visits while we were cruising the 7 seas. Nicely updated daily on their feeding, house conditions, and litter box. House clean when arrived home. Very punctual w times appointments and did actually spend the entire 30 minutes during all visits, even when the tasks are completed in under 10. Definitely would recommend and plan to use on our next trip. Thanks a bunch.â
âAdrien was awesome with our cats Indy and Sully! They handled feeding, litter box duty, and even gave meds without any issues. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and really appreciate the care Adrien gave them. Would definitely book with them again! Thank you!!â

About: Iâve had dogs my entire life. I grew up with my childhood dog and cared for him for 17 years until he passed away. I now have three huskies, so taking care of dogs is a big part of my everyday life. Iâm reliable, patient, and comfortable with high-energy dogs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets while youâre away, and Iâll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures along the way. Iâm available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Iâm happy to coordinate schedules in advance and keep your petâs normal routine as consistent as possible while youâre away. Iâll follow the routine and instructions you leave for your pets and make sure theyâre safe and comfortable while in my care. Iâm careful when coming and going, especially with doors, gates, and leashes. Iâll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated while youâre away.
About: Iâve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and even giving medication if needed. Iâm patient, reliable, and always treat every pet like theyâre my own. I work full-time during the day, so Iâm available for pet care after 3 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. Whether itâs an evening walk, feeding, or playtime, Iâm happy to help after work hours and fully available on Saturdays and Sundays. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the ownerâs instructions closely to maintain your petâs routine and comfort. Iâm respectful, responsible, and committed to providing a calm, caring environment for your pets while youâre away.
About: đžLove By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! Iâm a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⨠Experience Includes: ⢠All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok đđť), seniors, and hospice care ⢠Pregnant animals and nursing mothers ⢠Medication administration and specialized care plans ⢠Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions ⢠Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets ⢠Giant breeds (120â200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between ⢠Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds ⢠Exotic and specialty felines ⢠Birds, reptiles, and small animals ⢠Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during lifeâs most meaningful moments. Caring for othersâboth human and animalâis at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. Youâll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your petâs stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. đ What Makes My Care Different? ⢠Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration ⢠Flexible and accommodating scheduling ⢠Solo daycare available upon request ⢠Extended stays welcome ⢠Customized routines tailored to your pet ⢠Calm, loving, family-oriented environment ⢠Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills ⢠Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. Iâm proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. Thatâs why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitterâthey deserve family. đžđ My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while youâre away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, Iâm happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animalâs individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!). One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your petâs normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at homeânot confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.
âDaniella did a fantastic job with Stark !! She has been responsive and on time every time. She kept up with the updates and stayed in touch with me throughout the visits. Great to have her as the sitter for my cat and I will rebook her again next time I needâ

âKenya is attentive, friendly, and has genuine interest in providing the best care for your pet. You can tell that she is passionate about animals and providing your animal with comfort while you are away.â


About: Hi! I've been a house sitter for around 8 years for family friends as well as family members. There have been various sized animals that I got to take care of, and ranged from a few weeks old to senior ages. I also have 5 dogs at my family home along with one cat and one snake. Currently, I work as an office manager at a fine jewelry store and work 5 days a week. I am looking to help families on vacation or anyone local looking for services that I can provide on my free time. I do work around 8 hour shifts and would need to verify the animal will be okay with being along for that period of time. I currently am on a schedule with family members that we all contribute to feeding the animals. I will tend to walk the dogs around four times weekly and take my cat outside for some time in the mornings. When servicing friends and families animals/homes I tend to the cleaning, medication times for pets, water plants, and make sure things are tidy.
âKristi was amazing. Very communicative and helpful before we dropped off out cat. She sent me photos and videos and kept me updated on how she was adjusting. Highly recommend her!â

About: I absolutely love animals and will treat your babies like my own while youâre away. I have experience with senior, special-needs, and anxious pets, so unusual routines, extra patience, or a little extra care donât scare me! My biggest goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while youâre gone and for you to have peace of mind knowing theyâre doing great. Also, Iâm a chronic photo taker, so expect lots of cute updates of your baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from 7:30 AMâ4:00 PM, so early morning walks and potty breaks are always welcome (they honestly bring me joy). Outside of work, Iâm happy to check in as often as your pet needs. Need a late-night or even 2 AM potty break? I got you! Weekends are even better because Iâm available all day to give your babies plenty of attention, walks, and love. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. Whether Iâm in your home or mine, Iâll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that makes them comfortable. Iâm very patient with anxious, senior, and special needs pets, and Iâll never force interaction if they need space. Most importantly, theyâll get lots of love, attention, and of course plenty of photo updates!
About: I adore animals. I've had dogs and cats around my whole life, I'm the first person my family goes to for help when they go on trips. Willing to work with any creatures đ I work full time Monday through Friday, we can always chat about my schedule if you need! I'm normally home on weekends so I'm looking to fill the rest of my schedule. I live with my parents still so I can't bring pets into my home, but we have a husky malamute who we've trained to not eat our cats or rats!
âJessica was an amazing pet sitter! We talked before I dropped off my cat, Ginger, on his behaviors, feeding amount/times, and things we needed to provide to prepare for Gingerâs stay. I received updates and photos daily as I asked for that prior to confirmation as it was important for me to know about Gingerâs well-being. Iâm so glad he got all the cuddles and attention he needed! Ginger was happy with Jessica and I plan to rebook her in the future!â
About: Iâve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so Iâll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays. I cannot currently board animals at my home due to various reasons. I will be sure to offer that if I can in the future. Thank you.
âJesselle is an excellent, attentive and communicative cat sitter. She loves cats and our cat seemed to love her too. We would gladly use her services again.â

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring professional, knowledgeable care to every pet I look after. I have worked in veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities, where Iâve been trusted to administer medications, monitor health, and respond calmly to petsâ individual needs. Alongside my clinical background, I also bring strong customer service experienceâso pet parents can expect clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind every step of the way. Most importantly, I truly love animals and believe great care should be both safe and fun. Whether itâs medication time, playtime, or cuddle time, your pet will be cared for like family (with plenty of tail wags and happy purrs included). I am currently a full-time student. I have the availability to work around your schedule as you need. I am flexible, and willing to work. I care for pets in my home based on the way you would in yours. I desire to create a seamless transition into a new environment for your pet, allowing for max comfortability. I am very flexible with routines, and desire nothing more than to form long lasting connections with my clients and their furry (or scaly) friends!

About: Iâve owned dogs since I was 5 years old. I love pets and currently have two Guinea pigs! Iâve taken care of elder dogs, puppies, dogs with health problems, usually for friends and family. No pet is a bad fit for me :) As a PhD student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am available when most arenât. I can accommodate pet care into my schedule because I have the freedom to choose my hours. I always try my hardest to meet my clients expectations. I check-in with owners to make sure our needs and responsibilities are being met so you can have the peace of mind that your space and pet are well taken care of and respected.
âWe're so glad to have found Mara to look after our 9-month old litter mates. They can be quite shy around new people, but Mara won them both over and we came home to content and relaxed kittens. We also returned to a clean home. We hope Mara is available the next time we need a sitter!â

About: I strive to respect every individual's needs and preferences while also prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Whether they are a dog, cat, reptile, bird, or bug. During overnight stays I ensure pets feel comfortable and content, while also respecting their space and boundaries. Especially for those who prefer to be left alone. Some of my prior experiences with pet sitting involved caring for four senior dogs and a kitten. I made sure they received meticulous care. Some of my tasks included administering medications and providing engaging activities. My devotion to animals of all kinds sets me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. Being unemployed allows me to prioritize pet care, ensuring reliable and attentive service tailored to your pets needs. I am committed to giving the best possible care for your pets! In both my home and my clients home, I dedicate myself to making sure that every pet is content and comfortable. During my overnight stays, I prioritize the pets safety and well-being by following their feeding schedules, administer medication as needed, and offer constant supervision.

About: Work From Home Sitter: I started caring for pets at 19 and have loved it ever since. Iâve lived with dogs and cats for years and have hands on experience from volunteering with 67 cats and 60 dogs at a rescue farm in Antalya, Turkey. I also pet sat while traveling the world, gaining experience with many breeds and personalities. I grew up in a farm with almost all the animals herding sheeps and cows . Friends trust me with their pets when theyâre away, and I bring calm, patience, and genuine care to every animal I meet. Iâve used several platforms around the world for pet sitting, and you can find additional reviews about me on Workaway and Facebook. I also have a strong background in childcare I worked as a full-time au pair(childcare), caring for children safely and responsibly for four years across different families, parents trusted me with their children. I take care of pets like they're children they're both so speacial. I provide doggy daycare and have experience working with dogs with separation anxiety. Since I work from home, I can help with training, and if a dog cannot be left alone, I make sure they are always supervised. Iâm still building my experience with puppies! đś Iâm happy to care for younger dogs who are house trained and have moved past the chewing and nipping stage. đž All of my petsitting income supports the education of village girls in the mountainous regions of Eastern Turkey, including six girls my husband and I been supporting over the years some now continuing their studies in high school and university. Work From Home Sitter living near a dog park and walking trail: I work online from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I can easily stay overnight, or host the pets in my home visit during the day for walks and feed. My routine makes it easy for me to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and comfort throughout the day. To provide the best care, I accept a maximum of two dogs at a time and always introduce them before accepting a second dog to make sure they get along. If they donât, I only accept one dog at a time. Itâs important to me that every dog has the best stay possible like a little vacation while their owner is away. During my lunch break, I take the dog to the dog park or to Stevens Creek Trail near me. After I finish work, usually around 3:30 pm, we go out again. I can also work from your home if your pet needs extra company. Lastly, I live with my husband works from home a couple days a week and grew up with cats, dogs, and hamsters, so pets usually feel comfortable around him. I live in a clean, quiet townhouse with a small patio, and I create a calm environment for any pet I host. Since I work from home, Iâm always nearby to check on them, give attention, and take them out for quick potty breaks throughout the day. I live close to the dog park and Stevens Creek trail if your dog is high energy and need play time. To provide the best care, I accept a maximum of two dogs at a time and always introduce them before accepting a second dog to make sure they get along. If they donât, I only accept one dog at a time. Itâs important to me that every dog has the best stay possible like a little vacation while their owner is away. I always inform the pet parents if they are okay with the second dog and if they are okay to have intruduction. When Iâm caring for pets in a clientâs home, I follow all instructions carefully and keep routines consistent. I pay close attention to safety, doors and gates, feeding schedules, and your petâs comfort. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care I would give my own.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 Roverâs commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll 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.
