“Lacey was wonderful. She took great care of our older cats, was very communicative, and went above and beyond with some unexpected cleanup issues. I felt much better about leaving home with our cats in Lacey's care.”

“I feel so blessed to have found Maisey M. through Rover, she just took the wheel and ran with it! I was a little stressed and short of time in my attempt to find someone that would board this little frisky feline, but Maisey M. really came through for me! She is such a polite, sweet, caring young lady and it was clear that my cat saw this in her as well because it didn't take long at all for this little monster to feel safe and comfortable in Maisey M.'s home, which was a relief for me on my trip knowing my cat was in good hands! I would highly recommend Maisey M. to anyone looking to leave their pet in the hands of a care taker....SHE IS SIMPLY FABULOUS!!”

About: I have had pets my entire life from basenjis to a Great Pyrenees malamute, and two large tabby cats. Ive also had puppies as young as a day old and a dog as old as 14. I am a full time college student and weekends are best during school but can still provide care during the week, on breaks I have lots of availability. I have many animals of my own so I prefer to pet sit at your own house. I have five pets at home 2 cats and three dogs.

About: I have had dogs since I was a toddler, and a cat for the last 5 years. I helped care for a sphynx cat for a year, aided in starting and running a guinea pig rescue, and recently have started helping give snakes at the university enrichment. I am working towards my bachelors of science in geology and working as a caregiver/med tech locally, but am looking for a bit extra income to help with school costs. I am hoping to work with animals around 15 hours a week. I will care for any animals according to the given care plan, as well as with every degree of love and dedication I would give my own animals.

About: I absolutely love animals and would prefer their company over humans any day well except for my children. Hmm okay okay you got me there on some days would I definitely prefer their company to my kids lol, but they are the second-best if not tied for first for the company one can keep. I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I don't remember a time when we or I didn't own at least one animal. To me life doesn't exists without a fur baby of some kind. Most of the time knowledge comes from first hand experience and that I have plenty of, matter of a fact I would dare to say at least 25 years of experience of being around and caring for animals. From house pets to farm animals and your occasional lost and or injured wild animal. I am comfortable with all care that is required or might be required in a pets daily care. If it's not something I am familiar with or if there is something that is required that I have not had experience with, I am a great listener and quick and eager to learn something new there is never to much knowledge one can obtain. How does pet care fit into my daily and weekly routine? Well for me my pet's have always and will always be treated as family. They are a family member if you know you know. So they are just another kid i am taking care of, raising and loving on a daily basis. Only they don't have thumbs so they won't be learning to clean up their own mess in time, however you can forget what color of bowl to give them and they will not be throwing a fit for 30 minutes even if your correct your mistake :) and they have a love that last and is unconditional until their last breath. When you make the commitment to get a pet their care doesn't fit into your daily routine it becomes part of your daily routine that's all there is to it. So i don't know how to explain to you how my pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because it is simply part of it. I will care for the pets in your home just as I would in my home and or as you the client does in your home on a daily basis or however you desired. Nothing would differ from the way their regular day to day goes, besides maybe some extra loving, treats and play time. But the whole goal and job is to keep them in their home a place they are safe and familiar with while you their owner is away. To keep them stress free and ultimately for it to go unnoticed that you are even away. So unless stated otherwise beforehand by yourself I would plan my day's accordingly to how you live and cares for their pets.

About: I have been dog-walking and pet sitting for nearly half my life! In my home town many locals knew me for my dog walking ‘business’ and helping out those in need. I am a student at central and I would love to add time with nearby furry friends into my schedule. I am confident in my ability to work with clients on this. I am used to working with clients on what specifically their pet needs. For some it’s longer walks and for others it’s a special treat before bed. Whatever your pet needs I will be there to give to them.

About: Before moving to college I was a main house sitter/pet sitter for former teachers, family friends and locals in my neighborhood. I’ve sat for a variety of different breeds and temperaments, as well as animals beyond cats and dogs. I currently have a very open schedule this Fall. I am taking online classes at CWU and will be able to do multiple visits/walks within my day as I have my own car. Your comfortability and your animals well-being at my top priority. Checks in will depend on how often you would like them but my preference is always to let you know their mood, activity and at least one picture per visit. Pets are family and it’s my job to make sure they’re taken care of like such.

About: Dog & cat lover & fellow dog & cat owner (my life would not be complete without our shih-tzu Archie, our tuxedo Scar and our new adorable addition, an orange cat named Simba. I have taken care of pets for family & friends & feel comfortable taking care of dogs & cats of all ages. I am very attentive & a huge lover of dogie snuggles & kisses!! I like to stay active by running & going on long walks. My motto in life- "Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend never owned a dog". So excited to hear from you & meet your best friend. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pets and enter your home. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, double-check that doors, gates, and crates are securely closed, and never let pets outside unless they’re safely leashed or in a secure area. On walks, I’ll keep them leashed and pay attention to other animals, traffic, and anything that could make them uncomfortable. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal feeding and care routine, never give treats or food you haven’t approved, and make sure they have fresh water before I leave. I’ll also send pictures and an update after every visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. 🐾❤️ I work full time, but I have flexibility for quick drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as early evenings. I’m also available on weekends and can be more flexible then. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever my schedule allows! 🐾 I want pets to feel comfortable and safe in their own space, so I’ll follow the routines and boundaries they’re already used to. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, triggers, favorite spots, and any quirks I should know about. I’m happy to work with shy or cautious pets and let them warm up to me at their own pace. During visits and walks, their comfort and safety will always come first. 🐾

Lacey was great with Pantera! She even got Pantera to come out and greet her on day 1, which is pretty rare since Pantera's a shy girl. I'd definitely trust Lacey to watch her again, and I know Pantera would love it too.

Ruby watched our girl Luna while we were away for a work trip. She made Luna feel very comfortable, and my husband and I were relieved knowing our girl was being watched by an incredibly trustworthy person. Ruby also brought in packages for us and notified us where she left them in our place. We highly recommend Ruby and will be having her pet sit for us again!

Most bookings cost between $18 and $40 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .

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 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.
