About: I've grown up around dogs and even helped train my mom's service dog. I am comfortable with cats, but I have a mild allergy, so I have never owned one. I've had small and large dogs, and I know how to handle both! I was a caregiver for a family friend's dogs for a few years, and it was amazing! I've also interned at a veterinary clinic, so I've worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I'm currently home from college for the summer, so my schedule is pretty free! I'm looking at part-time jobs, but if I get enough clients here, there will be no need. Either way, I am willing to be as flexible as possible with anyone who selects my services. I am great at reading animal behavior, and will pick up on cues your animal gives me so that I can make sure they are more comfortable! I have only ever rescued dogs, so I am used to handling fearful dogs, and I have no problem giving them space! I will follow all specific instructions about feeding and potty times to ensure that both you and your pet have the best experience I can provide.
“This was are first experience using rover so we were unsure what to expect but it proved to be a pleasant experience. We can not say enough good things about Samantha. She went way beyound just the normal pet care. Our cat is very shy but Samantha easily made friends with her and played with her. Hope she is available next time we need a pet setter.”
About: I grew up dogs and cats, and still continue to housesit and care for friends’ and familys’ furry babies. I've cared for energetic puppies and sweet seniors, and lots of animals at once. I'm happy to follow specific care routines, daily walks, playtime, and any medical needs, with plenty of snuggles. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying -knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I have two dogs of my own a Border Collie mix and a Lab mix, both are seven years old, and spoiled rotten..So I've been told, and they get along with other dogs. While I'm housesiting/animal sitting., I'll be working on my computer, making phone calls, playing with your furry babies, and occasionally stepping out of the house for 3-4 hours at the most, to do errands, grocery shopping, and family needs. If your pup stays with me..I have a fenced backyard, and two of my own furry babies, Toby and Skit. They get along with others. I take them on hikes every day on BLM land near me. Since I live in the country, they're leash and off-leash trained.I have extra dog beds, and bowls, pups stay in my room with me at night.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, including senior pets who require extra attention and medical care. I have experience administering medications, including injections for diabetic dogs, and I’ve also cared for birds. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love bonding with animals. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your pets will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. At the same time, I’m very attentive to their individual needs—whether that’s high energy activities or gentle, calm care for older pets. I’m also extremely responsible and respectful of your home. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for both their pets and their houses, and I always make sure to leave everything even better than I found it. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine! Right now, since it’s summer, I have lots of free time to dedicate to your pets. I rehearse for a show for only a few hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can also accommodate overnight stays whenever needed. My schedule is very flexible outside of rehearsals, so I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s routine and specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide—to keep them happy and stress-free. I also ensure medications are given safely and on schedule when needed. I treat your home with care, keeping it clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, so pets feel happy, engaged, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel loved and well cared for!

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
