“Emma took GREAT care of my cat while I was out of town. She played with him, got him fed, dealt with his littler and was on time - very reliable! My cat is very particular but he loved emma so I think she must be a pet whisperer :) Highly recommended Emma for any of your pet sitting needs and will be using Emma next time my little guy needs a visit!”

About: Hello! I am a pro cyclist from NZ but living in the USA for the racing season. I am loving the opportunity to combine travel and training. I grew up with dogs and on a farm needless to say I love animals. When I am not training I love hiking, yoga, being in nature, cooking, camping, reading. Just a few of my favorite things :) I love exploring new places whilst being immersed in the local community, pet sitting helps you integrate quite naturally! Love animals, love walking and walking dogs even more so. Have had fond memories pet sitting in the past- dogs, cats, horses and not to mention plants I am good at keeping those nurtured too! My schedule is pretty flexible! Happy to coordinate with owners re specific pet needs! Enjoy being able to drive to trail heads and walk dogs in nature. I can be accommodating thanks to my lifestyle!
About: I walked my professor’s dog for 2 ½ years straight, brought him to the dog park and ran with him many many times. I continued my experience walking dogs in Austin, TX. Dogs nearly always want to come and lick my face! 😂 I get along with almost any dog I meet :) I’m not working my normal job at the minute so I’m open and able to help you with your pets, birds, dogs, and cats! I hope I can be of help to you :) I will not be hosting dogs at my home but I could very much sit your dog or cat at your home if you would like me to :)
About: i have been a cat owner and lover for many many years as well as helping out a dog walking business where I walked multiple dogs a day. I learned the in's and out's of the dog walking business and what it takes to care for dogs! I also love cats! I am currently looking for a new full-time job. I have the time to watch and help anyone with their animals while they are busy. I have two cats at home. They have lots of room to roam as well as an outdoor deck to run around outside and an outdoor bathroom for them.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal caregiver with over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, love, and individualized attention. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, medication administration, overnight care, and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. I understand how important it is to stick to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also a dog mom to my 7-year-old lab mix, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My daily life revolves around making sure she’s happy, active, and well cared for, and I bring that same level of dedication to every animal I look after. I love building trust with animals and making sure each visit is tailored to their personality and needs — whether that means long walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or calm companionship. My schedule is flexible, and my goal is always to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving compassionate, reliable care. Caring for animals is truly my passion, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I have my own dog she is a 7 year old lab mix- I love waking up with her, feeding her, playing fetch and going for walks. My routine revolves around her. I love spending time with her and providing enrichment for her.. in my eyes she is my child and I would do anything for her. My schedule is open and flexible to add caring for your pet. Let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to accommodate it. Always with lots of patience, gentleness, kindness, and compassion. I love bonding with animals and earning their trust. I have always been an animal lover and animals have always warmed up to me quickly. I love caring for pets with mental stimulation like toys, enrichments (snuffle mats, lick mats, etc.), Walks, Runs, Fetch, Toys, Cuddling, listening to music. We are our dogs world and I want them to feel fulfilled and happy all the time.

About: I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and most holidays. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives reliable, loving, and personalized care. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I currently share my home with two well-cared-for indoor cats. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a low-stress environment for animals. If I expand my services in the future, I will ensure every pet is cared for in a safe and comfortable space.
About: Favorite pastime: exploring with fur babies. I help friends with pet sitting, and I've also done pet/house sitting with Trusted Housesitters. I love exploring nature with animals, and can take them on long hikes. I can also play with them indoors for hours on end. I work freelance/remote, so my schedule adjusts to the pet's schedule. I have plenty of time to play with them, sit at home with them, or take them out for walks. Pets are always on a leash if out of the home. No phones on walks so I can be present with the animal. I can provide as much cuddles and validation as they need to ease their separation anxiety. I can also crate them if need be, this varies by pet and owner.

About: I'm an animal lover! My first pet was at 5 years old; a Jack Russell Terrier who had boundless energy. Someone had to keep up with my 3 older brothers and I! I jump at the chance to pet sit for family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and Rover clients! We love going for long walks, practicing tricks, being cozy, and sometimes treat them to a little spa time in the bath. I've watched approximately 30 dogs over the past 15 years. I love animals and grew up working on goat and horse farms, with puppies & dogs running around everywhere. I work from home, and am extremely flexible and reliable. I find keeping dogs on a regular schedule is helpful, and make sure I'm there whenever they need me! Walks, walks, and more walks! I’m very attentive and available to ensure you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in great hands.
“Lexus stayed at our house for several days to keep an eye on our cat to make sure his urinary blockage didn’t come back. I was nervous about leaving my kitties with someone new, but Lexus did a great job giving them their medicine and was a very calming presence with them!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
