“She was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with us carefully and thoroughly about our cats’ needs and made sure she understood all the details of their care. She always arrived as scheduled and was very attentive to how our cats were doing during each visit. We really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. Our cats became fond of her very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with her! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded my dogs and cats my whole life. Typically I pet sit for friends. The pets I’ve watched are mainly dogs and cats but I’ve also done reptiles, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc. I had my own dog for 1 year and a half. We loved outdoor walks, hikes with couch snuggles mixed in. Most common breeds of dogs are Retriever, Pitbull and German Shepherds. Currently have open availability for any day of the week and any time! Open to extended stays and any length of time needed to watch. I’m not able to have pets in my home but I can come to yours and know plenty of parks in the DMV area.
“Ni was great with my cats for a week. She sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. She administered my cat’s daily inhaler and even cleaned up pee and hairballs! I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I've had dogs my whole childhood, and went to work at daycare and boarding later on. I absolutely love pets, and pets tend to love me! I've taken care of senior animals and know how to pill a dog. Rough or big dogs are no problem for me! I already have a few dogs I care for regularly, and a couple cats that I visit when the owners are away. I usually spend 30-60 min with them, feeding, cleaning, petting, and playing. I have experience doing minimal checkups (eyes & ears), and know tells for some of the most common problems. I work from home, and my schedule is very flexible! I'm available most days from 6am-9am, 11am-3pm and 7pm-12pm. I am very flexible, and can fit into most schedules almost every day of the week! I have experience wrestling big dogs and walking dogs that lunge. I found my scritches and pats are top notch and I can throw toys pretty far!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since moving to virginia, for friends and family since I work from home. Especially during the holidays or working hours I am free to help with your pets. I currently work from home so I am free during the weekdays during working hours. I can also do weekends and house sits. Thank you! I have a senior calico and a very clingy black cat so I understand how every cat has a different personality. I don’t rush or force myself in my cats personal space. This is why I feel like my cats and other peoples cats feel comfortable with me to ask for pets and I enjoy playing with them.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. I got my first dog when I was 6 and cared for her until I moved abroad at 17. I also adopted a cat at 15 and have been responsible for her daily care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am generally available on weekdays and weekends with flexible hours. Monday–Friday: 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM Weekends: Available all day (morning, afternoon, and evening) I am able to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed and can accommodate regular or recurring walks as well as occasional bookings. I am especially flexible on weekends and during school breaks. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
About: I’ve done another dog sitting service for 2 years and am switching to rover now that I am in a new city! I’ve watched many family friends dogs over the years as well. I am waiting on credentialing things so am currently free all day every day until that comes in so I am ready to take care of all of your animals! In your home I do love going on walks so I am more than happy to walk them and in my home we are in a busy area with lots of walking space for them.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.
About: Raising my own dog from puppyhood and caring for dogs of all ages has taught me how to show up with patience, love, and consistency. I’m comfortable with both active pups and laid‑back cuddlers, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Dogs make life more fulfilling, and it would be an honor to care for your pup with the same warmth I give my own. 💕 I’m a grad student who works part time, so my weekday schedule is very open during the day. I can do check‑ins while you’re at work, and regular walks throughout the day. Your fur baby won’t have to wait long for attention, and I’m able to follow whatever routine helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I do have my own friendly dog at home, and I always make sure introductions are slow and safe so every pup feels comfortable. We live in a house in a quiet, dog‑friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for your pup to relax, explore, and enjoy walks. I keep a close eye on all interactions and follow whatever boundaries or routines help your dog feel secure.
“We had such a great experience with Yasmeen! She took wonderful care of our cat during our two-week trip and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We’d absolutely recommend her!”
About: I work from home and have free time that I would love to fill with caring for your pet! I have had cats, dogs, and hamsters my whole life. I spent most of my teen years working as a pet sitter for family and friends, and most of my college years working as a pet sitter on Rover. I have recently needed some extra joy in my life and what a better way to find it then to love on your animals! I work from home and have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to drop in on your pets! I also have time most afternoons for lunch break drop ins. I am happy to provide anything your pet may need in your home! I don’t offer boarding in my own home at this time, but may in the future.
“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
Alexis did such an amazing job with my senior cat, Cayenne. She gave amazing Rover reports/photos and she was able to administer fluids for my cat. He is 19 years old and needs a lot of gentle care and attention. Going out of town is generally very stressful for us to leave Cayenne at home, but he clearly loved her!! I will 100% be using her again if we go out of town.
Amanda was great as always and even had to deal with us and our door code issues, sorry! Thank you for waiting and being patient. We will definitely reach out to her again and are very grateful for her communication, flexibility, and proper care for Morris. Thanks!
Joaquin was great! He was super accommodating about changing my cat's feeding plan after her automatic feeder disconnected from the internet while I was gone, which I really appreciated. I was also grateful that he took the initiative to clean up hairballs while I was gone - with three cats, I was expecting to come back to a lot of cleaning, so this was a really nice bonus. I'd definitely rehire him
Elisabeth was an absolute lifesaver while I was traveling! She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with my cat, Coco. I was away for over 20 days, and I could tell that Coco was well cared for and didn’t feel nearly as lonely while I was gone. Elisabeth was also extremely responsible and flexible with the key handoffs. We had to coordinate the key a few different times, and she even offered to drop it off with my friend, which I really appreciated. She also took so many adorable photos of Coco without me even having to ask. Getting all those cute updates made me miss Coco a little less while I was away. I’m so grateful to Elisabeth for taking such great care of Coco, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Coco again! ❤️
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Aliso and felt completely comfortable knowing our dog and cat were in such caring hands. She was attentive, dependable, and treated our dog and cat with genuine love and kindness. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bagel! We got home last night and could tell she was so well taken care of. 🥹 She doesn’t really open up to our other friends, so the fact that she really likes you means a lot! We really appreciate all the love and care you gave her. ❤️

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
