About: I've always been an animal lover! I Have taken care of animals since I could remember. I would love to care for and love your sweet babies like I do my own. I can play with them, or even just cuddle and love on them. Whatever they need, I'm here! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday, I'm available for check ins in the evening anytime after 4pm through the week and anytime Saturdays and Sundays. I can do feedings and check-ins, as well as house sitting and walking. If you need something extra for your pet just let me know!
About: Love animals! I enjoy spending time with my dogs every day. We go for walks daily and enjoy zoomie time. I am reliable and can handle whatever need that may arise. I will treat your baby just like mine. Mine are spoiled and living their best life! I work full time but have the option to work from home when I want to. I am open to doing weekends and holidays. I have hours that I can change if needed. I have a fenced in yard and also crates at the house if needed. I have gates put up to keep them from running out the doors when visitors arrive. Safety is very important to me.
About: I grew up taking care of my families many pets. Growing up my family had dogs, cats, fish and a variety of other pets. I love all animals and enjoy working with them. Currently I have open availability but that is subject to change. I'm not currently working and am looking to fill my free time with something fun! I'm very well versed in caring for animals no matter the size and animal safety is always my number one priority. Having the ability to understand animals and their behavior is very important to keeping them happy and safe.
About: I typically help neighbors & family with their pets when they’ve gone out of town many times. Walking, feeding, medicine, baths, etc. My parents recently got puppies that I helped raise from a month old! 💙 I work from home as a video marketer & work part time door dashing, which allows my schedule to be insanely flexible to help out with play time, walks, & drop by visits. 😎 I often help my elderly people bring their groceries all the way to the kitchen. I make sure to greet the animals, let them build confidence & trust, before entering the homes. My intention is to leave a safe impact on the house.
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
“She is hands down the best dog sitter that I’ve ever encountered, and I will definitely work with her again in the foreseeable future. She made me feel at ease with everything, and I didn’t have anything to worry about when it came to my animals’ safety and the security of my home. She’s very communicative and attentive when it came to the animals’ activity/progress. She is extremely awesome, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best dog sitter on the planet.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Yuki! This was our first time using Rover, and we were pleased to see Yuki, who is usually anxious, be so comfortable with Louann. Thank you so much for giving Yuki such a good experience, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.”
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Andrew took great care of our fur babies while we traveled including a new puppy- no small order! He communicated effectively and was punctual for every check in. Thank you Andrew!”
“Katelyn did a great job caring for Cantaloa and administering medicine for her. She took photos and gave informative updates, so I knew that my cat was well taken care of.”

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
