“Emily was great with my cats as always! She leaves detailed check in notes and was able to get my shy kitty to come out of his shell. Highly recommend to anyone needing a cat/pet sitter in the area.”
About: I grew up in Texas with two dogs and two cats. And I’ve had my currently dog, Theo, since he was 5 weeks old. And I also have experience with an elderly dog with diabetes needs. I am in grad school as well as a research assistant. I make my own hours making my schedule flexible. I’m excited to meet new pets. I will keep your space clean and allow your pet the most comfortable experience I can I am in grad school and a research assistant. I have class MWF 9-10 am. Then TTh 11-12:15 &2-3:15. I create my own hours for research. So otherwise I am normally flexible on time! I love going on walks with dogs, time/distance depending on breed and age. Every dog is different but playtime and enrichment are very important in our home so I’ll do what I can to incorporate that in their lives as well! Same with cats, depending on comfortability!
About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.
About: I have always had pets in my life, cats and dogs. Rescued strays, farm dogs, and my grandmothers 18 cats. My dad had a bird for a while. My mom has taken in a deer as a family pet for some time. When I was little I snuck a frog into the bath tub. Loving animals runs in the family. I will care for yours as if they were my own. I am always available to care for your pets! I was recently laid off, so I am home full time and can spend every moment with your little ones. We do occasionally have to run errands, but make sure that all personalities involved are safe and well managed before taking time out. Our home is their home, and most of our guests love running in and out of the doggy door to play in the backyard. We have no problem letting pets get comfy on the furniture, they’re part of the family while they’re here! We usually feed them twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening when we’re having dinner. Other than that, we just go about our day hanging out, watching movies, doing yard work, and we always make sure your pet feels welcome and at home with us. That said, we are always willing to accommodate for your pets needs.
“Ashley is A M A Z I N G !!!! she did drop ins for our two pups 3 days a week for 6 months. She was always so understanding when it came to our crazy schedule and last minute changes/cancellations. She went above and beyond every time. If you ever need a sitter- Ashley is your girl!”
About: Growing up, animals weren’t just pets in our home — they were family. I’ve spent my whole life caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rats, snakes, lizards, pigs, and backyard birds like turkeys, chickens, ducks, and quail. My mom worked as a wildlife rehabilitator, so from a young age I helped nurse injured and orphaned wild animals back to health — including squirrels, rabbits, beavers, opossums, raccoons, and turtles. That experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive with animals of all temperaments and needs. Our family currently has two dogs and I have my own pet rats, so I’m an active, hands-on pet owner every single day. Sadly, I lost my own beloved dog last year, and that experience only deepened my understanding of just how much our pets mean to us. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk or a calm, caring sitter while you’re away, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. Your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands! 🐾 I’m currently a student so my schedule allows me to work on evenings, weekends and holidays. Once summer is here, I will be completely free! In Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any specific rules or preferences you have for your pet. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I make sure to give plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your fur baby is doing! Dog Walking Every dog is different, so I tailor each walk to your pup’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they love a brisk adventure or prefer a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, we’ll have a great time! I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always keep safety a top priority. After the walk, you’ll receive an update so you know your pup had a wonderful time.
“Ashlee is the very best; our dogs and cats love her! She is reliable, kind, and always on time. We will continue to ask for her help anytime we need, and we highly recommend her!”
“Alicen is amazing!! We have used her multiple times now to let out my dog during the day. She always gives great updates and takes pictures! We’ve been very happy with her service”
“Aly made us feel like our kitty was in the best hands! We loved the photos and the notes on how she was doing each day. It meant so much to have her spend a little outdoor time with Mona, which is her favorite. Already looking forward to rebooking!”
“Natalie was excellent! I highly recommend her! She took very good care of our fur baby and followed our instructions to a T. She was very prompt on the drop in times and never once had to worry about our dog when we were out of town. Thank you Natalie!”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and have also taken care of friends, families, and neighbors dogs while they’re out of town! I will care for yours like they’re my own! I work part time and most of my classes are online so I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pet! I’m able to let your pets out, play fetch with them, walk them, and give them food and water and anything else you would like!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. Mine have been raised being treated like little humans and I cant wait to treat yours the exact same. I have cared for special needs dogs, puppies, and seniors. I have a special place in my heart for animals, and absolutely understand the want for a sitter that will love on your babies as much as you do! I am currently available almost all day everyday, and most weekends. On the occasion that I have errands to run, I am more than happy to take your love bug with me if they don’t like to stay home alone! I have two fur babies for your pets to hangout with (if he/she does good with other dogs)!One is big, one is small, and they are both inside dogs! We take them outside to play ball through the day and on plenty of walks! I have a fenced yard and walking paths all through my neighborhood! My parents live close, and my dogs love them just as much, so if your pets prefer to be by themselves that’s totally doable!! I’m pretty flexible, so I can give them as much or as little exercise as needed! If you’d prefer me be at your home, that’s perfectly fine as well!
“Carlie is AWESOME, I would highly recommend her! She will go above and beyond for your pets. Carlie checked in on our kittens while we were on vacation and not only did a great job taking care of and playing with them, her updates and photos made us feel confident they were doing okay without us. She went above and beyond: not only cleaning their litter boxes but cleaning up litter that had spilled out of them and even fixing our small Christmas tree when the cats knocked it over. She even went back one time after she had already checked in on them because I was concerned by one of the photos that maybe a cats collar was too tight.”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was young and have always had a passion for animals. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and dependable care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm dedicated to making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and love making part of my day. I'm currently completing my real estate education online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work around their routine to help them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their comfort level and personality. I treat every home with care and respect, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
