“Baylee was wonderful and helped us be at peace while we were out of town. She took great care of our sweet, Max, and sent us updates from each drop-in visit. We will definitely be using her in the future when we need someone to check in on our dog.”
About: I grew up on a farm raising all sorts of livestock and pets, and then joined the army. Later, I studied pre-vet and received my fear free pets certification, showing my training with animals with anxiety as well. I live and breathe for my pets, plants, and family. We wake up and immediately my animals get fed and Maggie (dog) let outside, then we proceed with our day! Always will be at least one hour of outdoor play time a day, not including potty breaks. I will be able to host your pet in a separate area of my home if need be. I am fear free pet certified and have had a diabetic dog, therefore I know how to administer insulin/shots. I am also a foster for Purrfect Paws Rescue. I can also provide an area no other animals will be around if needed, Along with pheromone diffusers to calm your pet under anxiety.
About: I was born and raised with St Bernard’s, Irish Setters and miniature poodles as well mutts, ducks, cats, birds etc. I have continued to have pets in my life through my adulthood. The last of my pack of 5 has now past away. I love dogs so much I volunteer in the pet community and have a non profit to help educate, maintain and build off leash dog parks. Responsible pet ownership is very important to me. As someone who had a pack of 5, all sizes, breds and ages and health, understand the need to have someone you trust care for your pet, at least as good as you would!! Rescue, special needs and seniors have a special place in my heart ❤️🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!! I have a flexible schedule working remotely from my home. I usually know what I have to be in front of the computer for at least a week in advance and work around where I need to be and when. Because I work remotely I am able to stay with your pet. Let’s set up a meet and greet to get to know each other before you need my services. Your fur family is a priority. I love to share time with your family. If they want to play, or snuggle or just know someone is there. I am flexible. I work remotely the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be with your pets the majority of the time. I also limit the amount of other families I care for at one time, so I can give more of my attention to your family. I follow your rules, or example allowing them or not on furniture, specific snacks, or okay time routines. If you allow I’d love to snuggle with them through the night in bed with me.
“Toby is AWEmazing with my Rottweiler Mello he always works with my schedule and is great with working with me last minute. He also sticks to his commitment when I have something planned weeks Ahead! I will def continue using him for my boarding and drop ins !!!”
“I highly recommend Monika for any of the pet services that she offers. From my personal experience she is very knowledgeable with dogs and has the perfect personality for wild, high energy dogs, such as my golden doodle Tukoma. He responds very well to her and they get along great. Monika also provides excellent pics during her visits and she goes beyond what is expected to show extra love for your pet.”
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime, just have to work around my husbands schedule! But that shouldn’t be an issue. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
“Tammy came by to feed the cats and change their litter boxes while we were away. She was great with the cats, and very respectful of our home while we were away. She did a great job! We would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize their routine, safety, and happiness. I am currently a stay at home pet mom! I am in the Indiana national guard, so I have tons of free time! I have two pets of my own, with very simple schedules! I’m very good a paying attention to what your fur baby will need. I’m also more then happy to potty train and teach tricks to any pups needing assistance!
“She did a late night and short notice drop in for my boy who was barking and having anxiety and our friend was unreachable. She helped him even tho he was scared since he hadn’t meet her, but she took time and he went to her so well and calmed him down. Even tho I wasn’t there, I saw how sweet and patient she was with him on the camera and I just knew she was great with our boy and pets in general! She saved us a ton of stress! ❤️ definitely will ask her to help in the future and recommend to others.”

I approach each task with intention and honor, recognizing how much trust goes into watching your home and pets. Clean water bowls, fresh bedding, and a tidy environment aren’t just details—they’re part of how I show love. I take pride in creating a space where dogs feel safe, soothed, and seen.

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.
