About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.
“Lindsay was so great to work with! Our Poodle Pippa had major surgery a week prior so my wife and i were nervous about leaving her with someone new (she’s get too excited and tear her stitches) but when we met Lindsay we were immediately reassured. Very professional, pleasant, and responsible. Not to mention she did all of this on Thanksgiving! Highly recommend.”

“Yifei is an incredible sitter! She is proactive, attentive, and present with Mr. Scout. She leaves plenty of pictures and videos making me feel comfortable knowing Mr. Scout is getting the best care and attention during my time away. I would absolutely recommend Yifei and will be looking to book with her in the future.”

“Mark was just fantastic looking after my boys: communicative, conscientious, and just a true animal lover. He really took the time to get my cats to warm up to him, and just had such a mellow demeanor. Highly recommend him (and will use his services again if you don’t snag him first!).”

“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”

About: I am a previous owner of a beautiful Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. I am also currently a FUNcle to my sister's 100 pound German Shepherd who adores me and I him. I recently moved out of NYC and back to NJ and a lot of my friends parents have asked me to come by to let their pups out and take them on walks every so often when they're away. I would love to take care of your pet as well. I work from home so anything works for me. Your dog will have plenty of outdoor time while I am home so that they aren’t stuck inside all day I live close to a local baseball field that I have access to if I wanted to take them out for more space to play in.
About: I have been taking care of and pet sitting animals, whether it be my own, my family’s or friends basically my whole life. More recently, I have been involved with The Seeing Eye since 2018, as a puppy sitter as well as a volunteer Puppy Raiser, and I have been bathing and grooming dogs professionally since early 2021, working with little puppies for their first grooms all the way up to senior dogs who need a little more love and patience during the grooming process. I have several years of experience working with puppies on basic obedience, and potty training. In addition, I have a 6 year old german shepherd who I have raised and trained myself who I love with my whole heart. I currently work 5 days a week as a groomer, however my schedule can be flexible. I am available most nights after 6 pm and all day Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I do not pet sit in my own home, as I live in a small apartment. However, I would be more than happy to stay over a clients home if needed!
“Mary Ann recently cared for our two cats for the second time. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with her service. She is incredibly attentive to our cats' needs and shows great care during her time with them. In addition to her care for our pets, she is very respectful of our home and consistently responsive in her communication. We truly appreciate her reliability and the peace of mind she provides while we are away.”

“Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!”

“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. They took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious my cat felt safe and relaxed, which says everything. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”


About: I have always been an animal lover. I’ve had 4 rescue animals - 1 dog and 3 cats. Currently I have an 8 year old Dutch Shepherd/ Lab mix named Eli. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs. Big, small, rescue, I will care after them like they are my own! I look forward to hearing from you to learn more about you and your pup!
“Despite Charlie never coming out from under my bed, Blake showed up daily 2x/day to feed her, try to play, & ensure she had a clean litter box. I think Charlie would have had a pretty fun time, had she stuck her nose out just a little. Lots of funny pics of Charlie's eye &nose! 😁 I'd call Blake again -- he's a responsible cat- sitter.”

“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”

“Bridget was wonderful with our shy, asthmatic cat! She's a kind and communicative sitter, and our cat warmed right up. Bridget was able to give Bean her daily inhaler and was quick to identify when she needed her emergency inhaler. We would absolutely book Bridget again!”

About: I've had pets my entire life and have spent several years caring for dogs and other pets for friends and family. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm happy to care for most small pets as well. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I'll treat them like they're my own and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away! I currently work part-time, so I'm available after 3 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The rest of the week, I have plenty of availability for daytime, evenings, and weekends. I keep my calendar updated, so you can always see my most current availability before booking. Although I'm new to Rover, I've spent years caring for dogs for friends and family. I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away.

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.
