“Grayce was wonderful with our two Goldens. She was punctual and super responsive to messages during our trip. She also took multiple pictures of the pups and left a detailed report after each visit. We definitely recommend you book with Grayce if you need a sitter!”
“Courtney went above and beyond to take care of our baby, Houdini! Courtney is extremely trustworthy and genuinely loves animals. Please hire her for all of your pet care needs! She’s the best!!!”
“Wow, Christopher is the best! He checked in daily on my parents senior pup for a week during a family emergency, and his updates and care for Maggie put the family at ease. He was always extremely prompt and considerate; and took extra special care and attention to Maggie’s senior needs. I know Maggie will be excited to see him again!”
About: I’ve owned, trained, and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes in my life. Whether it be providing a soft place to land for a shy soul, playing fetch to tire out a ball-crazed pup, or putting together a training schedule for a young pet in need of consistency, I’ve done it all. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet and exceed them. Because I limit my client roster to provide the absolute best care, I currently have openings for: • Saturdays, Mondays: Full-day availability (perfect for your weekend day trips!) • Sunday, Tues-Fri: Afternoon blocks My schedule will expand into steady, full-week availability later this fall, so lock in your spot now! I am fully focused on safety, reliability, and giving your dog personalized attention. I will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own, aiming to leave them better than when I got to them!
“Maryam clearly loves cats and I felt so relieved knowing my Benny boy had someone kind to interact with while I was gone. Will look for her again if I ever need a sitter in the future!”
About: I’ve had many pets my whole life, cats, dogs, and a couple hamsters. I got both of my current dogs when they were puppies and I have trained both of them very well. they are now 2 and 10. I also have a Cat who is 2 and very spoiled. All of my animals have dealt with medical issues so i have experience with many treatments. I also have pet sat since I was a teen for both cats and dogs, and the parents were always very happy when they got home to a joyful pet. I put a lot of love into caring for all animals. I can be there for your fur babies anytime they need me. I have a very open daily and weekly schedule. I can be there for breakfast, mid day care time and dinner. I always make sure my pets are happy and have everything they need. I also always make sure they are safe going outside or when opening doors. I also know how to look for any signs of distress and If they need help with anything.
About: I have a wide range of knowledge in animal care. I provide senior animal care, medication administration (have experience with liquid syringe fed, food mix ins), I am patient and willing to learn and help out with any necessary training, exercising, and/or special medical care. I have two parakeets myself, and spend a lot of time at my parents house with my family dogs. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats as well although I am willing to learn to care for basically any type of animal. I am a hairstylist, and often have the ability to shorten my days to accommodate bathroom breaks, feeding, and other important care times. The only main activity outside of work is going to the gym, but I can easily make a cardio day by going for walks/hikes with your fur baby’s! I am dedicated to following routines that you have set up for your pets such as crating, training skills, and special requests to keep your pets at ease and safe.
About: Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful—you want to know they’re safe, comfortable, and with someone who will genuinely understand their individual needs. That’s exactly the kind of care I aim to provide! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I especially enjoy working with high-energy dogs and have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with fear-based behaviors. I’m comfortable taking the time to understand their triggers, routines, and boundaries rather than expecting every dog to behave or interact the same way. I also know how important consistency is! If you’re working on things like not jumping on guests, waiting at thresholds, staying off counters, leash manners, or other household rules, I’d love to know. I’ll reinforce the routines and expectations you already have in place rather than accidentally teaching your dog that the rules change when you’re away. I have three dogs of my own—two Golden Retrievers and an Australian Shepherd—so high energy, lots of personality, and dogs who need both physical and mental stimulation are very familiar territory. Depending on your dog, that might mean a good walk, sniffing and exploring, fetch, playtime, puzzle activities, or simply some one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with additional medical or emotional needs. I have experience with epileptic dogs requiring medication on a strict schedule, as well as dogs who become frightened or anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. And I’m definitely not just a dog person! I’ve been caring for cats since I was about 10 years old and have experience with both healthy cats and cats with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and subcutaneous fluids and have cared for cats with chronic kidney disease and FeLV. Most importantly, I know how much trust you’re putting in someone when you ask them to care for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine closely, keep you updated with plenty of photos, and give them the same attention and care I’d want someone to give my own animals. My goal is for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, happy, engaged, and in good hands. I am available for walks and drop in visits in the evenings on weekdays (generally, after 5PM), and have more flexibility on weekends to provide pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine to help minimize stress and keep them comfortable while their family is away. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, so I incorporate activities such as sniff walks, training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or interactive play when appropriate. For cats, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding schedules are maintained, and that they receive the level of interaction they enjoy—whether that’s play sessions, brushing, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship. I am also comfortable administering medications and caring for cats with special medical needs. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own, ensuring it remains clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.
“Finding Rover was a huge help with a recent vacation but meeting Amaiya and having her take care of our old girls while we were away was a great piece of mind for us. She made her self available on short notice to meet us. She sent pics and updates each of the days she visited. Really appreciated your time and will gladly work with you again Amaiya!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and adore caring for them. From walks to belly rubs, I make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for. I am a mom of two girls and currently in nursing school and work per-diem as a nurse assistant. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide a calm and caring environment, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Owners can trust that their pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Indigo was commucitave and attentive to our cats' needs. They noticed a potential problem (peeing in unknown location based on litter box use), which made dealing with the issue much easier than if we had been surprised coming home.”
“Vivian was an amazing support for my cat while I was away for 5 days. She spent quality time with her, completed all tasks, and checked in with me daily. I look forward to working with her again!”
About: I grew up with 5 dogs, 2 large and 3 small. I went through professional training with both large dogs. Also have had many dogs since and have been pet sitting for years! I have a flexible work schedule. I can work from home whenever necessary and my job does not require a lot of meetings for periods of time, so I would be attentive. I provide long walks as I go on runs and walks myself everyday. I can provide light training and will always follow your personal rules you have with your pets.
About: I have looked after dogs and cats for my entire life. I have watched dogs of all sizes and multiple pets at a time, including cats and dogs, multiple dogs of different breeds/ sizes, or cats of different sizes and breeds. I can work from home so I can take care of them throughout the day; a lot of attention, walks, medication administration, etc. = happy pets! I stick to the routine and boundaries set by the client. Different dogs require different levels of care and I am experienced with many different types of breeds. I believe we are all animals whom deserve the best quality of life possible, so as long as I am looking after your pet, they will be treated with the respect they deserve!
About: I volunteer with the darbster foundation as much as I can with school. Taking care of all animals is a passion of mine from dogs all the way to birds. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Derry
Jennifer is absolutely wonderful with our cat! She is incredibly dependable, attentive, and caring, and we never have to worry when we’re away. She sends us daily pictures and updates, which gives us such peace of mind. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares, and we can tell our cat loves her too! Jennifer is truly invaluable to us, and we feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely. We highly recommend her!
Jaimie was absolutely fantastic with Madeline! She took care of everything from feedings and litter maintenance to cleaning up unexpected hairball messes. She gave Madeline so much love and sent the best photo updates throughout the stay. I’m so grateful for her attentive care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet, reliable pet sitter!
Allison watched our cat and dog with daily visits while we were away. Our dog is a large German Shepard that can be a bit of a challenge to handle, but Allison quickly put him at ease and established trust with our dog. She also took excellent care of our cat, giving him the type of quality attention that he loves. What stood out to me was how Allison kept a watchful eye on everything during her visits. She pointed out an issue with our rather expensive fish tank and notified me. I'm sure we would have lost most of our fish and coral if she had not taken the initiative to help out. In addition to giving us daily updates and photos of our pets she gives you the sense that everything is well taken care of. Allison far exceeds what I was expecting of a good pet sitter. In my opinion, there is absolutely no one better. I highly recommend Allison. You can feel at ease when you are away. She is a superstar!

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 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.

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 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.
