About: My Rover teammate, Naomi, and I have ample experience with all the responsibilities that come with caring for dogs and cats, including crate training, exercise routines, and sticking to a feeding schedule. We currently care for two sweet, inseparable dogs - Baloo and Meadow. Since a young age, I've cared for every animal under the sun - from ferrets and hamsters to dogs and cats. I have direct experience with labs, terriers, setters, and other mixed breed dogs. These pets have ranged in age from puppy to senior. Naomi also grew up caring for dogs and cats, which included Australian shepherds (as well as many farm animals). On weekdays, we take Baloo and Meadow on several walks/hikes during the day, including in a forest preserve adjacent to our home. On weekends, we like to take them on longer hikes on nearby trails or in Acadia. Our neighborhood is safe and quiet with little traffic, and our home is tucked away from major roads. On a normal day, we take our dogs on a long walk once in the morning and once in the evening. If your dog enjoys extended outdoors time, we are happy and able to provide it.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all personalities and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I work per diem as an OR nurse, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I’m available most evenings after 5:30 PM and have open availability on weekends. I enjoy staying active and love spending my free time walking, playing with, and caring for pets while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive, reliable, and experienced caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.I’ll provide a calm, clean, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates for peace of mind.
“Amazing! Karen is so thoughtful and takes great care of our dogs. She sends so many pictures and always keeps us up to date on them. Can’t wait to have her watch them again!”
“Jill is an amazing and kind cat-sitter! She was so patient and understanding of my scaredy cat. I felt so comfortable being away from home knowing the cats were in her excellent care.”
“Chuck was fantastic! My cat adored him (he sends great videos and pictures) and he was awesome about texting updates and answering my texts right away. Highly recommend. I've had some good sitters from Rover.com, but Chuck is just the best.”
“Meghan did an amazing job checking in on our cat while we were away! She was professional, kept our house clean, and most importantly, our cat was happy and comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kirk was an awesome pet-sitter. He was on-time and attentive to our two cats, and was diligent in providing updates and photos for each visit. We'd definitely book with him again.”
“Julia took very well care of our cats! This was our first time using the Rover app, and it can be difficult welcoming a stranger into your home. Julia was very welcoming and kind that it made us comfortable. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks and she was responsive and detailed in her visits. We will definitely use Julia in the future for any cat sitting needs!”
“This was our second booking with Lise to care for our Maine coon cat. Her care for Chico and our home was again exceptional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. She sent photos and updates daily, so we could see that Chico was relaxed and happy, and went above and beyond in leaving the house as clean as she found it, even washing all the bedding. Thank you, Lise!”
About: I am an avid cat lover and owner my entire life. I have had many of my own cats and look after friends animals when needed. After just completing the entire Appalchian trail ibwas away from my cats for 6 months. Pursuing a life dream was wonderful but devastating to be away from my babies for so long. Now that I am home, they are one of my biggest priorities and the highlight of my days. I'd love to get to know and love your pets as well! I currently live and work in Bar Harbor, Maine. I am available to help locals or visitors alike for any of your pet needs. Feel free to reach out! I think each family has their own way of operating. What works best for my cats may not work for yours or even for dogs. I will follow all given instructions and guidance to make the experience the most comfortable for your pets.
“Jessica is super reliable, always on time and very responsive, providing lots of photos. I always feel comfortable having Jessica do drop in care visits for my cat. I know she'll be well cared for!”

About: Hello! My name is Cailen and I am currently a Veterinary Assistant. I also have years of experience working at an animal shelter. I am reliable, patient, and passionate about animals. I can guarantee that I will take care of every pet as if they were my own! Growing up, I had a big beautiful dog named Mac. In my early adulthood, I have adopted/rescued a few cats named Nora, Baby, Liza, Mikey and Slater. I now have a sweet cat named Wanda. Over the last five years, I have frequently pet/home sat for friends and co-workers. I love both dogs and cats very much, and would be happy to work with either or both. I would love to chat with you about your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fixed schedule at work. I have availability before and after work, along with the 3 days off every week, Tuesday and the weekend. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own.

For cats, I will keep their areas clean and am willing to spend extra time to let them adjust to me and feel comfortable.
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I grew up with several different animals and have always loved being around them and taking care of them! At a very young age I really wanted to work with animals and that same passion of working with them is still the same today! As of right now, my schedule varies! I could be working any shift from 6:30-2:30, 7:30-4:30, 9:15-5:15, or 12:15-5:15. I am a new mom who is trying to make ends meet but working still isn’t helping because daycare is so expensive! I am really trying to pet sit part time or even full time! My weekends and holidays are always open except for the occasional family trips in the summer! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home so that means that your fur babies will be kept on a leash when taking them outside. Your fur babies will also be kept company by 2 friendly dogs and 2 friendly cats! I also have to crate one of my dogs so I can easily crate dogs if needed!
About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

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 .

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 .

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.

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.
