About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and they've always been a part of my family. From playful pups to wise old dogs, I've learned how to care for them in many different aspects. I've also babysat puppies before, so I know how to handle the extra energy that comes with it! I’m currently a college student working a part time job. I have a lot of extra free time on the weekdays to hangout with pups. I am available most weekdays to go for some walks and drop-in visits! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure and clean environment, free from hazards. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of distress or illness and will immediately contact you. Dogs in my care enjoy regular walks, playtime in a secure yard, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I ensure each dog gets personalized attention, catering to their specific needs and energy levels. At home, my own dogs are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every dog I will watch.
“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”
“It’s my first time using the app, Bryndon was great! My situation is a little unusual but he was so conscientious and paid attention to the details and did such a great job. I would definitely recommend Bryndon and will absolutely reach out for future sitting!”

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially cats! I have a cat of my own and have spent years caring for pets. I’ve dog-sat for many of my friends, including caring for their dogs for stays lasting several weeks or even months. I also volunteered at a cat shelter for a year, where I cared for and spent time with many different cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love to take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times with each pet parent. I’m also comfortable caring for pets for extended periods when needed. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and will follow their owner’s instructions closely. I have experience caring for dogs in their homes and my own cat, as well as caring for many cats while volunteering at a shelter. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, food, and care.
“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”
About: Howdy! My Name is Pierre! I am about to be a graduate student at the University of Hartford! I came home from the summer to find out that my dog for the last 6 years had moved out of my childhood home and in with my brother (HEARTBREAKING 💔) I joined Rover so I could care for my lovely four-legged friends, without the commitment of having to keep one before having to travel back to college again! My family for all 23 years of my life has had at least a dog and a cat (RIP Tiger). And we currently shelter baby kittens until they are old enough to get adopted! I have a passion for Animals and miss having my buddies around so I believe Rover would be a perfect fit! Currently I am not employed and only leave my house for 3 hours a day to workout out! (I am a college basketball player!) My girlfriend Min, however, is a stay at home type so your companion will NEVER be without supervision! I have sheltered kittens for years so I know the responsibility of being super vigilant over pets cause things can (and will) get crazy sometimes! I have a completely fenced in back yard! I also will take videos and FaceTime calls at the owners request so they can always check in on their companion I work from home as a video editor so I am always available to take on new pets and care for them whenever the need arises! I have a fenced yard, as well as a nice spacious living room pets can play and live in, and a restless dog is a destructive one 😂 so we make sure to take them on walks and exercise to get them nice and tired.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. I also like volunteering when I have the time. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.
About: I’ve had plenty of experience with high energy dogs over the past couple years, especially with a friend’s very active Lab Pointer mix. I enjoy long walks, taking them to the dog park, playing with them, giving them treats, spending time with them in nature, adhere to their diet, and simply making them happy because that makes me happy! I have a 9-5 job and being a sitter is my way of making extra money in the evening/night time, but I can definitely be flexible depending on the day. There are 3 dog parks near where I live and plenty of walkable areas in nature close to me for all dogs to enjoy exploring while always leashed.

Jenn was amazing. Our cat is very nervous and scared. Jenn managed to make Phoebe feel comfortable with her by the end of the sit and they had a lovely bonding moment. I would highly recommend Jenn if you want a sitter who truly wants to make your pet happy along with being fed while you’re away.
We hired Libby for two weeks of drop-in visits with our 4 year old cat, and we were SO happy with how she took care of our him! We really appreciated the extra time she took for a pre-booking meet and greet to meet us and our pet, her daily updates complete with cute photos, and the thoroughness of care she provided. Libby is a great communicator, incredibly detailed, treated our cat like her own, and went above and beyond in her care - even bringing in a package from outside during one of our visits. Our relatively shy boy was crawling in her lap by the end of the two weeks. We will definitely be booking Libby in the future!

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.

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.
