About: I treat every dog like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and cuddles they crave. Big or small, playful or mellow, I make tails wag and paws happy — while keeping you updated with plenty of adorable photos. Pet care fits right into my routine — weekday evenings are best for walks and play, weekends for long hikes, adventures, and plenty of love. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at ease. My home is secure, cozy, and supervised with care. You can trust me to treat your pet like family, offering not just safety but plenty of fun and affection.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for 4 years, so I know how much love, patience, and attention dogs need. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, so I’m comfortable using Spanish commands if that’s what your dog is used to. I’ll always treat your pet like my own. I currently have availability Friday through Monday from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM and 5:00 PM–12:00 AM. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and love while staying on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I always respect your home and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Words cannot express my gratitude for Erika not only taking care of my Mr. Chauncey but of my home as well. From our meet and greet all the way to the end of the contract, Erika kept in touch, took care of Mr. Chauncey’s feeding and litter box needs and also took the time to give him a little attention. As an added bonus, I came home to a clean and organized home which made coming back from vacation that much more glorious. I can’t wait to work with her again for all my future pet sitting needs and would recommend her ten times over!!”

“Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.”

About: I have over seven years of pet care experience! I unfortunately do not have a dog of my own, due to allergies in my home but I have always loved animals and I’ve always wanted a dog! Because of this, the time that I get to spend with for babies is extra special, and I love on them extra hard! I consistently babysat a golden doodle throughout four years of high school. I also frequently babysit my boyfriend’s 2 golden retrievers, my best friend’s frenchie, my cousin’s labradoodle, my uncle’s 2 puppies and now my brother’s puppy! I am able to work from home, and stay with your sweet pup(s) all day long! My schedule is flexible to mend to your pet’s needs. I look forward to being a helping hand and being a caregiver for your pets! I am unavailable on Tuesdays for walks/stop ins. But every other day of the week, I am able to come check in on your pet multiple times a day and do overnight stays. I prioritize walks and play time to keep your pet healthy and happy! I am also able to take your pet out for rides and nature trails, if that is okay with you! I have worked in childcare for about 10 years and have had many background checks and have worked with all age groups. I believe myself to be incredibly trustworthy and caring. I am completely understanding that it could be a daunting thing to leave your sweet fur babies with a stranger, but I can assure you that they are in great hands with me! I am always willing to set up a meeting beforehand so you can get to know me!

About: I grew up in a house with lots of pets, both cats and dogs. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to look in on and take care of their beloved pets since I was a teenager. I know what it means to love an animal as your own, and I promise to treat your fur baby or babies with the same love I show my own. I work full time, Monday to Friday, 9-5. I'm available to stop by before and after work, as well as midday (I work in downtown Westfield and can pop out on my lunch as I please). Weekends are generally pretty free. I always make sure they are fed and watered on time, according to their schedules. I make sure they have plenty of toys for solo play when I have to be away. I always make sure all doors to off limits areas are closed when leaving the house.

Indoors, I provide a cozy environment with air purifiers, memory foam beds, and a fireplace for those extra snuggly moments. I personalize every stay from treats upon approval, for specific dietary needs, to fresh alkaline water and fun enrichment games that keep your dog happy and engaged. A crate is also provided if your pet is crate-trained, ensuring comfort and consistency. With me, your dog isn’t just being watched, they’re being cared for, loved, and spoiled in a safe, relaxing home away from home. Use code SHANIB98777 for $20 off your first service. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily schedule. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every animal feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I care for every animal the same way I treat my own - as if they were part of my family. I make sure they are loved, safe, and treated with genuine care every moment. I always make sure to care for their individual needs as 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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

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.

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.
