“Kristi was caring, thoughtful and so sweet with my fur babies!! I didn't even have service in some parts of my trip when I was away and I felt safe knowing she was there taking care of my kitties! She was attentive and sent me tons of updates while I was gone. She'll definitely be getting an invite back for future trips! ? 10/10!!!!”

“Erin was great, she was able to fit me into her schedule on super short notice due to a medical emergency. She sent tons of pics and did great with my cat, I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again.”


“Can’t recommend Andrea enough! She’s great with our dogs (who can be a lot), and sends adorable updates. A true dog lover! Knowing she is coming has given us so much peace of mind!”


About: I’ve always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and I’m doing this because I genuinely enjoy caring for them and meeting new furry friends. I’ve helped take care of puppies in my family, I currently have an elderly husky, and I’ve also had a very high-energy malamute, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I do consulting and work from home on my own schedule, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Since I have my own dog, I’m careful about making sure everyone is comfortable. My husky is older and spends most of the day sleeping and relaxing, and my multi-level home gives me the option to keep dogs separated if needed. I love to run, so I can tire your dog out! I’m an army veteran, so I take reliability and responsibility seriously, but I’m also just someone who really enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I do consulting and work from home on my own schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. Dogs staying with me can get regular potty breaks, attention, walks, yard time, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust care based on each dog’s routine, energy level, and needs. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, supervised, and safe. I have a fenced-in yard for outdoor time, and I can keep dogs separated if needed because I have a multi-level home. My own dog is an elderly husky who mostly likes to sleep and relax, but I’m still careful with introductions and making sure everyone has space. I follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, potty schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special needs or quirks.
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”

“Kacey came in clutch as always! This time it was a last minute visit because our plane got delayed. She was able to stop in right away to see our boys and it was so very helpful! She is the best at making me feel less anxious!”

“Kaity is great with my cats, and I feel so much better knowing they are with someone who gives them such great care when I am gone. Kaity sends great photos each day and lets me know if there are any issues. I highly recommend her!”

“Osha did a great job taking care of my Surlee while I was away on holiday. He followed all my instructions, relieving me of any concern. I will gladly call upon him when needed. Book with confidence!”

About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs part of my life since I was young. I’ve rescued, fostered, house/dog sat for friends and family for years. They rescue us too. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pup(s) for a day or multiple days, whether they are large, medium, or small. My priority is ensuring your dog feels comfortable in their own home while maintaining their routine—feeding, walks, medications, and all the little things that keep them happy and healthy. When caring for your pets, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to create a trustworthy, secure environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I respect their space and routine, ensuring that they are always safe, whether it’s keeping hazards out of reach, maintaining a calm atmosphere, or sticking to familiar routines.
“Amy was amazing. She took the time to do everything she could to ensure my dog was cared for safely and met the expectations of the visit. She is a great communicator with clear and concise messaging. She gave very detailed information about the visit - thank you!”


About: I have grown up around animals and have always adored how wonderful companions they are. I grew up taking care of family members dogs when they went on vacations, which gave me early experience with feeding, walking, and general care. I also have some experience with cats from having one when I was younger and helping care for a few friends and family members cats over the years. I am comfortable helping with basic cat care such as feeding, litter box cleaning, and spending time with them. I have my own dog, Hadley, an 8 year old golden retriever. She is very spunky, sometimes a troublemaker, but very sweet. She loves walks and I have walked her for years and really enjoy doing so. Caring for her has helped me build strong experience with daily routines and understanding a dog’s needs. Within the past year, I started working at a shelter where I take care of dogs, including some with aggression and fear issues due to neglect and other reasons. I feed them, walk them, clean up after them, play with them, and give them love and attention while they wait to be adopted. That experience has taught me how to be around different types of dogs, adapt to their needs, and make sure our furry friends are always loved and cared for. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and patient when caring for animals. I always treat pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to the opportunity to help take care of your pets and give them the attention and care they deserve. Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule is very flexible and open during the week. I am available throughout weekdays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. On weekends, my availability is more occasional, but I am still open to working them depending on the need and advance notice. I am reliable with time management and make sure I plan ahead so I can consistently show up on time and give each pet the attention they need. Overall, having a flexible schedule allows me to be dependable and available for pet care while still maintaining balance with my other commitments. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and normal routine. I make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any specific care needs for each pet. For home sitting, I focus on keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment, making sure they get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. For drop-in visits, I make sure all essential needs are met, including feeding, bathroom breaks, cleaning up if needed, and spending time with the pet so they feel cared for and not alone. For dog walking, I make sure walks are safe, controlled, and appropriate for each dog’s energy level and behavior. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, especially with animals that may be shy, anxious, or require extra patience. I have experience working with different types of dogs from my time at a shelter, which has helped me stay calm, observant, and adaptable. In addition, I respect the client’s home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is always to provide reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident and at ease.
“Macaroni, my crazy hound loves Amber! They have had a couple play dates and great walks! She will be staying with Macaroni for a few days coming up and I am not worried a bit! I know she’s in great hands! So glad we found her!”

“Alexis did very well with Husker. He is very leery of new people and she was patient with him. Was even able to get him to calm down enough to go for a walk. We have now hired Alexis for a 5 night overnight stay.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elk River
I highly recommend Marcale’s services! She was wonderful with our cats and I imagine she is just as attentive to other animals. She followed our instructions to a T. There were no messes to clean up when we got home and neither cat was stressed out. I simply cannot thank her enough for her care and we will be requesting her assistance again - probably in June!

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.

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.

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.
