“Rachel is absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail, clear communication, and gentle interactions with our two cats and our foster kitty make her a wonderful sitter. She's also observant of any changes to their drinking, eating, or litter box habits, which gave my husband and I peace of mind each day we were out of town! We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. At the moment, I have 5 cats and 3 dogs, all very different from each other. I go and volunteer my time at my local Humane Society often, loving, brushing, and socializing them. I’ve dog sat family’s and neighbors’s dogs before and never had any issues. I am also good with big dogs, as I’ve had Newfoundlands in the past and currently have a Burmese Mountain dog now. I also have experience with young and elderly pets, I currently have some very old cats. I typically work 6pm-10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, sometimes Saturdays. I prefer working in the morning, as I typically get up early to start my day. I will do whatever is needed for animals to be happy. I have both cats and dogs, some who play and some who don’t, so I just do whatever is needed to make the animals feel comfortable.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, from raising dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more at home to caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I also have 8 years of professional experience working in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant/technician. I have a special love for shy and nervous pets, and I always try to give them the patience, space and tenderness they need to feel safe and comfortable. My veterinary background has given me experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities and needs, and I’m comfortable paying close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility and overall wellbeing. I’d love to put that experience to work giving your pets the exercise, enrichment and loving attention they deserve. I currently work outside of Rover, so I’ll have specific days and times each week dedicated to pet care. I’m looking forward to building a reliable schedule with my Rover clients and getting to know their pets and routines! My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable and happy in their own environment. I have two dogs of my own and a fenced yard, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated about how your pet is doing. I’m currently offering walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, but may offer additional services in the future.
About: I’ve been caring for pets ever since I could remember—from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs, cats, and everything in between. I genuinely love animals and always treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved—whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there for comfort and companionship. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule, so we will work out what is most convenient for your schedule and availability! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and routine they’re used to. I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping things clean, calm, and secure.
“Lydia provided daily pictures of my 2 girls when I was away. She played with Hazel and She took time to see my really shy girl who hides from strangers as well. She came daily as agreed. The house was picked up and in good order when I returned. Would recommend to anyone looking to make sure their cats are taken care of while they are gone and have clean litter boxes!”
About: I have had pets in my home my whole life And my friends and family have always relied on me to care for their animals.I am an animal advocate! I am not working anywhere else at this time so I have a pretty free schedule. I am willing to care for any animal all hours a day I have a half an acre fenced in yard for dogs to run. With an actual dog run. I also have a separate kennel if needed.
About: The queen of last minute bookings… and I don’t charge you extra for it. Being surrounded by animals after a hard day at work as an EMT is very therapeutic to me. Your pet won’t just be another animal I take care of or walk, your pet will become my friend, and honestly pet friends tend to be a lot more trustworthy than human friends these days. I own 4 dogs, 2 German shepherds, a mini Aussie and a Boxer. Age ranging from 2 yrs old to 13 yrs old. One of them was rescued as a senior the other 2 I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old. I also grew up with hound dogs in the country. I also have experience with horses and other livestock. I have a wide range of experience from different breeds young to senior animals. Super hyper dogs do well with me and I have great experience with them being as I have very hyper dogs as well. Don't let my rates scare you, I work with everyone's budget. I primarily work night shift as an EMT giving me a lot of time during the mornings and afternoons to create this small business. This will fit perfectly into my schedule I will care for your pets with instructions from my clients on how they want their pets taken care of. I will never ever mistreat any animal I ever come across.

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.
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 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.
