“Lisbeth did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. She was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her about any concerns or questions I had regarding my cat. I'd definitely book her again if I go away again.”

“Alexander was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ranger. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. I could tell Ranger was in great hands the entire time. Alexander followed all of my instructions carefully and handled small changes to the plan with ease and flexibility. I felt completely at ease knowing Ranger was being so well cared for. I’d highly recommend Alexander.”

“Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now have a cat of my own, so I understand both the energy and companionship of dogs and the unique personalities and routines of cats. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions and routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, litter care, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and provide reliable, attentive care when you can’t be there. I understand the trust it takes to have someone care for your pet in your home. During drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and any other routines. For dog walks, I’ll prioritize safety and follow your preferences for routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I'm a life long cat lover who never seems to have enough space for the menagerie of cats that I would love to own. Pet-sitting is the next best thing! I have raised & loved several cats through their entire lives as newborns into their maturity. I am currently a Cat Mom to two males in a May/December relationship (3yr old/9 yr old). They could not be more opposite or more joyful to live with. I am flexible alongside my part-time job. Acting and producing in the world of community theatre keeps me busy, but caring for pets & housesitting keeps me happy and grounded. I will always be fair & honest about my time & availability. As an actor I am gifted in matching energy: is your pet skittish or nervous? Are they older or grumpy & listless? Well, I can be good company either way. I’ve cared for and given medication to senior dogs & cats that need more attention. I’m observant, caring & intuitive to their needs. While caretaking in your home, I will be dependable, respectful & trustworthy. *Please note - specialty senior care is at PUPPY rate.
About: As a dedicated pet lover, I understand that your pets are not just animals—they are cherished family members who deserve the highest level of love, safety, and respect. My approach to pet care is rooted in reliability, strict adherence to your established routines, and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior. Whether it is maintaining a precise feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing the focused exercise and mental stimulation your pet needs to thrive, I treat every animal in my care with the same vigilance and affection as if they were my own. You can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind, knowing that your companion is in safe, attentive, and deeply caring hands. I work a full time job, however I am available from Monday to Friday after 5pm and most weekends all day.

Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime.

I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.

About: I have owned two dogs when I was a teen. Currently I take care of a golden retriever owned by my cousin when she needs to be out for errands. I have morning availability since I work an overnight shift. I am mostly free on Saturdays and Sundays. My morning availability is from 9am to 3pm I live in a neighborhood that is friendly to walk around. But I would prefer to sit the dog in the clients home for ease
About: I’ve had dogs and cats by my side my entire life, and caring for animals has always been more than a hobby—it’s truly my passion and calling. I have 13 years of pet-sitting experience as well as hands-on experience working at a Humane Society, where I cared for animals of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, supporting pets with chronic medical conditions, caring for seniors, and keeping up with happy, high-energy pups. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Trust and loyalty are at the heart of the care I provide. My goal is not only to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for, but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in dependable, compassionate hands. I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time focus, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Your pets are my priority, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits based on their individual routine and needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my number one priority. While my home does have a fully fenced yard, I prefer caring for pets in their own home whenever possible, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my two cats received! From the moment I met Lisbeth, I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and I received updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for kitties! I would absolutely recommend Lisbeth to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again! ❤️🐾

Megan took excellent care of our cats. She was responsible and thorough from start to finish. She cleaned up the mess the cats make around their dry food without being asked. She also sent plenty of photos and updates,, so we had a really good sense of how the cats were doing while we were away. That made a big difference to us.We would hire Megan again without hesitation and recommend her highly.

Stefanie was great! We went on vacation for four days and she handled our dog with love, care and discipline. We found everything neat and organized at home.

Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with.

We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Liz was great watching my cats! She sent me lots of pictures and spent plenty of time with them to make me feel comfortable while I was away! She even got my shy cat out of her shell in just two visits which made me so happy to see while I couldn’t be there with them. Great communication from her and overall just such a great help while I was gone.

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!

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.

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 .

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.
