“Valerie was great with all 3 of our cats including our *spicy* cat who isn't always the biggest fan of new people. She did a great job of making them feel comfortable while we were away and they were very well cared for!!”
“Baileigh did a wonderful job with our cat Babette! Babette's mood was warm and happy when we returned. She warmed up to her right away. Baileigh kept us updated with cute pics and our place was just as we left upon return!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 8 years old, and ever since then I have not wanted to live a day without animals! All together I have had 4 dogs, and a cat. From living with my parents growing up, 3 dogs in total, to being on my own and rescuing my baby Sammy (male/ black lab) when he was 5 months old. He is now 4.5! He had a lot of anxiety as a shelter animal, but I have helped him overcome many obstacles, and we are each others rocks! My cat named Binky I rescued when she was 4 weeks old, and she changed my life. I never had cats growing up because my mom is allergic which is extremely unfortunate. But my cat is my life, I feel like she really understands me on a deeper level, and if you have a cat I am sure you can understand that! All in all, I love and cherish every animal like they’re my own. You will never have to worry about the safety or care that they’ll be receiving when I am around! I am not shy of any breed or animal, thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and I hope I can meet your animals soon! I am currently unemployed, but as a hobby I stream video games on platforms like Twitch and TikTok! My hours are mostly free, my stepson is in middle school currently, so mornings/afternoons are perfect for me! I would say my cut off time is around 6pm, but if you really need me I’m sure I can make something work! I am extremely flexible and so is my family schedule! I have been around many different types of animals with all sorts of personalities. Not every animal is the same! Before I know how to properly take care of/treat an animal, I like to get a sense of their temperament and comfortability so I do not stress them out in any way. My dog had extreme anxiety when I first adopted him at the shelter, and it took a while for him to become comfortable to most things. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to caring for animals! Whatever your animal needs, I will make sure to tend to their needs to the best of my abilities! Whether that’s just hanging out and cuddling because they’re anxious and miss their family, or going outside and playing for however long! I also love taking dogs on walks and I’m sure your fur babies love walks as well!
About: I have had lots of my own cats and dogs. I have dog sat for family and friends. I love working with all kinds of animals:) I do have a job which is typically 6 hour shifts Monday through Saturday. I have always loved animals and love to make more furry friends. I’d love to care for your pet/s! I am very detail oriented and able to follow schedules needed for your pets needs. I am able to walk the animals as needed. I work in healthcare and pet safety is a top propriety!
“Outstanding sitter! Great communication throughout the petsit, including photos, which made my heart so happy. Lindsay was clean and tidy, she laundered sheets and towels, washed all her dishes, took out the trash, and our home was freshly vacuumed. In fact, we've already booked our next sit with Lindsay. She is terrific!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was a child and have a big spot in my heart for animals! I currently have 3 sweet cats, Pumpkin, Nala and Cali and have loved and cared for cats and dogs of all ages over the years. I am a professional treat giver, ear scratcher, nose-booper and medicine giver (if necessary) but most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if they were my own! I work full time from home. With a flexible schedule, am able to check in with your pet periodically at your residence or can spend time with them at my home while working. I am happy to accommodate for what your pet needs. I have plenty of toys, treats, space and cuddles to go around. Let's talk about what they need and I can make it happen!
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have been pet sitting for a year now! I don’t ask for very much money as I am mostly doing this to spend time with animals (but money would be nice) I am free whenever! I am not attending college currently so I have all the time in the world! I can even pull all nighters for neonatal kittens :) I am not currently accepting pet care in my home but I promise to keep yours safe! I will keep the doors locked, clean if needed, and not answer the door to strangers!
“John takes terrific care of Our Lennon. Gives him attention when Lennon, wants it. He takes him for walks outside on his leash to get the exercise and, make sure that he eats OK on schedule. He’s definitely a great animal care person.”
About: Hello, I've had cats, and some kittens, almost my entire life! I love them and understand their cues. I enjoy interacting with them and grooming as well. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they are on vacation and enjoy taking them on walks and playing with them! I am a stay at home mom, with all 3 of my children in school. I can work weekdays between 9am and 1pm. Possibly evenings. I know how to brush cats, clip their nails, change the litter, feed, water, and play with them. I have my own car, so I am reliable. I have cared for 3 different dogs while my friends were on vacation multiple times. I love playing with dogs and keeping them company.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my whole life and currently have cats of my own. I foster kittens through the shelter whenever I can, with most of my experience focused on neonatal and high-needs kittens. I also regularly walk shelter dogs and am comfortable caring for a variety of personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I work Wednesday–Sunday from 3–11 PM, but I’m available for visits in the mornings and early afternoons, as well as Monday–Tuesday. Pets are part of my daily life. I feed my cats, foster kittens, and walk shelter dogs. I make sure every pet gets consistent care, love, and attention. I care for pets in their home, following your routines for food, meds, and play. I make sure pets feel safe and loved, and I provide updates so you can see they’re happy and comfortable.
About: Each pet’s personality is different, and all need different care. I enjoy caring for both the nervous old dog and the friendly puppy! My own dog is very anxious so I understand that each will have their own boundaries. I do my best to make sure all pets are comfortable and thriving in their environments. I am currently looking for a full-time job, but in the meantime I can make more animal friends! Because of that I can easily take on any last minute requests. When in your home, it’s very important to me to focus solely on your pet. My top priority is to make sure they are comfortable where they live. I will absolutely follow any rules you may have while I am there!
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“Deena was the PERFECT sitter for a control freak like myself. She follows instructions and listens well for what’s important to you and your pets. Deena seemed comfortable caring for my elderly cat and the young one, AND left me with TOTAL peace of mind while I travelled. She was on time for her scheduled visits, and made sure to leave detailed notes and photos from each stop in. 10/10 recommend hiring her for reliability and kindness”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats while we were away Nathalia! It makes us feel good knowing they were being so well taken care of while we weren’t there.”
About: I am a mother of 3. My kids grew up with mommy doing Rover! They are trained to not mess with animals. They love playing fetch with the dog's and cuddling! We have a fully fenced back yard and all our furniture is pet friendly! We want your pets to feel at home here. We allow dogs to sleep in our bed with us and on our couches. My kids are in daycare during the week but I work from home! So during the days it's just me with the dogs. They are typically never left alone. I send tons of pictures to all the dogs owners so you will always be updated! We like being your pets family while your away! So I work from home! I wake up at 6am and feed the dogs and let them out. Since I am home I let the dogs outside quite often! I usually feed the dogs around 5 then go pick up my kids from daycare. Then the whole family is home for family and doggy time! We have a fenced in back yard and zero doggy doors. We have a very safe home. We try to teach our kids not to feed the dogs any human food so we don't ruin the diet you have your dog on!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Anna is fantastic. She watched our two cats, and was awesome! We'd never had a pet sitter before, and her calm, friendly vibe was very reassuring. Anna's communication is also excellent. She provided regular, detailed updates with photos. She was attentive to our cats' comfort and safety, and even sprayed for ants outside when she saw they'd gotten inside around the cat food. She also took out our trash cans, which was above and beyond. We would definitely choose Anna again, and highly recommend her services.

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.

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.
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.
