“Betty did a great job taking the time my boy needed to get more comfortable on his first visit. He's a super sweet boy but shy and apprehensive at first. She helped make him feel comfortable and he warmed up quickly. I expect the next visits will be even better. Thank you Betty!”
About: I love cats and dogs, and have had cats most of my adult life. I believe animals are truly family members and should be treated with gentleness and respecting their nature. I have no problem following detailed instructions, and every visit I take pics to show you your fur baby is being well cared for! I am free most mornings before 8:30am and in the evenings after 6pm. On weekends I have more flexibility in my schedule. I’ll be happy to work with you on whatever your scheduling needs are! If a client discusses a list of instructions, I’ll do my best to follow them to the letter. Otherwise, I’ll follow what to me is ideal care for an animal: ensuring they have clean and fresh water, proper food, cleaning litter boxes or taking a dog out for a walk as needed, and spending a little time cuddling and playing (respecting how shy they might be!). If a pet is too shy to play, sometimes I’ll just spend a few minutes sitting on the floor and talking to them in a soothing voice so they can get used to my presence as someone who is friendly. If approved beforehand, I can even bring (or use your own) a few treats! I may also reach out to you if I see something that I think needs addressing (not enough food or litter, a pet seeming lethargic or coughing excessively etc.). If that happens, I’ll discuss with you how you want to handle it. In case of illness, I take my own cats to Wentworth Animal Hospital so, for example, if I saw your cat seemed to be vomiting excessively, if you approved it I would have no problem taking them in for a walk-in and working out the payment and a reasonable rate with you over the phone. The most important thing is to ensure that your fur baby is given the best care possible. :-)
“My cat had an incredible time with Irina and her girl super good and friendly people, I think she wanted to stay with them hahaha, super recommended if I have other vacations I leave it back to Irina's care. ❤️”
“Maycelin was great. She had never met my boys before and I have a very timid cattle dog. She was able to get him out to pee and poop. She followed instructions and was really Communicative and polite. I will def book her again :)”

About: I’ve had my own pets for over 40 years. They were my babies and I cared for them as such!! They are my heart’s passion. I’m now a healthy strong retired woman who has loved to help family and friends pet sit their 4 legged babies. So I’m opening myself up to others!! I have a safe place to walk animals by my condo and parents with a beautiful back yard to also take them to adventure. It’s just me in my house so it’s clean, safe, simple sweet and quiet atmosphere.
About: I’m a new graduate Physician Assistant with some time before starting my new job, and I’d love to spend that time caring for your pets! I’ve been a dog owner for 15 years, caring for my two Shih Tzu/Maltese mixes, and I also have experience caring for my own cat. I’m comfortable with all the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, including walks, feeding, keeping litter boxes clean, and making sure pets get plenty of attention, love, and cuddles. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! As a recent physician assistant graduate, I’m currently in the period of waiting for my professional licensing to be finalized. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m also flexible and able to commute to provide care in your home or take your pet for walks and outings. I’d love to use this time to spend more time with animals and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I’m respectful of the home and always make sure the space is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is doing well.

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.
