I will love your pet(s) like my own. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and have information with some medical care. I am available weekends, unless stated Or Mon-Fri, after 4pm I am currently available for weekends! I do work Monday-Friday til 3:30 pm. Please fill free to message to see if I am available during workdays. Thank you 😊 In homes/walks I follow the pet parent's wants/needs. I make sure I build relationships with the pets I care for. I follow guidelines yet make the time spent with the pets fun when they're in my care! Expect photos of your pet with each visit!
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
About: Hi! My name is Bailey! I’m currently a small animal veterinary assistant while also in school to get my CVT.I work with all of animals, and I personally own my own dog, cat, horse and more. I can work with any type of animal. I work Tuesday through Saturday, I have an hour lunch in between the day, which I go and do potty break during that time. Then with them off, I go straight to your house and take care of your pet. I take care of someone’s pet like they’re my own. As a vet tech, I treat every single animal like they are my own and my family.
About: My name is Faulkner, my partner Meredith and I do not currently have a dog but we love spending time with dogs! We would love to look after your furry friend! I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs. I grew up taking care of dogs. I worked at the Morris Animal Inn in NJ, where I walked dogs being boarded. I have experience caring for animals who need medication. As well as experience taking animals on emergency hospital visits. Every dog has unique needs. I approach each dog to match their needs. I work well with both high and low energy dogs. I am capable of providing exercise for athletic dogs. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
“Merry was absolutely phenomenal! ❤️ She loved our cats, gave them all the attention and care I had asked for, treated them like her own, and sent us pictures every day. Knowing our girls were in such loving and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Merry kept in constant communication, which made us feel even more comfortable and reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our fur babies! I will definitely be booking with Merry again for any future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares! 🐾💕”
“Frank stayed in our home and took care of our cat for a 9 night stay. They followed our directions for the house and cat care and kept us updated on our trip so we could fully enjoy our time away. Our kitty was happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend and will hire again!”
“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”
“Glennie was relaxed and happy upon our return, which makes travel so much easier knowing she’s well taken care of. Isabella was super responsive and provided updates so we knew our cat was doing well and in good hands. Will definitely rebook.”
About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with
About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.
“Kaiden is the best, we love having him house sit our cats! He’s always so caring and meets our cats where they’re at (generally in hiding spots). Super responsive and sends a bunch of pictures, which is always so great. Definitely recommend!”
About: Ive worked at a dog hotel for 8 plus years and have taken care of all different types of dogs. I get along with any dog I meet and I would love to help care for your baby regardless what stage in life they are at. I work at a dog hotel so I can make almost anything work. Just let me know the situation and we can work together :) I know how to do meds and have been doing them for years. I can handle elderly dogs/cats and younger. I can go on long walks or small walks depending on the dog.
“Hanna was an absolutely treasure to find on here. She came and met our little family and we immediately knew it was a good fit. Hanna was friendly and curious about our kitties, snakes, and hamster and she genuinely cared about their routines and how to care for them. She stayed in our home while we were on our honeymoon and she was respectful, our house was clean, and made our fur babies comfortable. She sent updates and she has excellent communication. We highly recommend Hanna for your critters needs!”
“Sierra was responsive, friendly and arrived on time for each of 3 walks we booked. She took good care of our senior dog, sent pictures and was in good communication. Much appreciated!”
About: I've cared for and owned pets for nearly my whole life. Being around animals is truly my highest joy. I have experience caring for animals of many shapes, sizes, breeds, and ages. From fish, frogs, and guinea pigs to cats, dogs, chickens, and horses, my passion for animals is endless. I'm detail oriented and knowledgeable about body language. I will always go above and beyond to provide the best care for any creature I encounter. My easygoing nature has proven to be comforting for pets, and I am quick to build trust with them, including shy/skiddish animals. I have spent time volunteering at animal shelters. I am comfortable with administering medication, cleaning up any waste or accidents, brushing long or short haired pets, and maintaining trainings. I prioritize mentally and physically stimulating play time and exercise while also appreciating snuggle time and nap time. I am currently available full time. My schedule for pet care is very open and flexible. I am willing to commit to short or long care periods. I am available for walking, in home care throughout the day, and overnight stays with pets. I am mobile with a large vehicle and would be happy to take pets out for adventures. I prioritize safety, and I am wise within my interactions with all pets.
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I personally cared for my Shiba Inu for three years, including daily feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and keeping a consistent routine. I also provided in-home care for a kitten for two months, making sure she was fed on schedule, had a clean litter box, received plenty of playtime and attention, and felt comfortable and safe in a new environment. I have also cared for a friend’s Golden Retriever for a month while they were traveling abroad. I handled his daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general care, while giving him plenty of companionship and attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, personality, and care instructions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work at a clinic on weekends, but I don’t have a regular job during the rest of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m available during most weekdays and can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets, whether they stay in my home or I care for them in their own home. I don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs, and I’m respectful of the home and the owner’s routines and rules. I genuinely enjoy animals, reading, and going for walks, so I’m happy to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day, especially if they enjoy companionship and interaction. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and believe in responsible, science-based pet care rather than making assumptions about what a pet needs. I’m also happy to keep owners updated with regular photos and short messages, so they know how their pet is doing while they’re away. My goal is simply to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible.
About: I don't like seeing pets alone when their owners are away, so I love keeping them company! I make them feel comfortable in my home. As an animal lover and a deaf person, I appreciate having pets around for companionship. My schedule is available in anytime. Just let me know if you want me watch your pets as longer I don’t mind. I love to help. I always respect your home’s rule with your pets. As long you let me know with your concerns. I love to check your pets to make sure they’re ok.
About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and a cat as a pet myself and they were all happy, social, and mannered (minus the bunnies). I engage, communicate, and train effectively and appropriately. I am not currently working at this time and am hoping I make enough on Rover to provide for my lifestyle. I really want to remain at peace as an individual and that means-loving & nurturing your animals! It’s my number one job pick which should assure you there’s mutton else I’d rather be doing. I have one dog, Carole, that I care for in my home right now. It’s pretty tidy so there’s nothing that animals can get into, I don’t have a fenced in yard however, I do live in an environment with lots of land and a grass pasture to potty in. Carole and I like to go to dog parks, but respect that not all animals have that luxury for numerous reasons. Carole gets along with other animals and people, but finds her space if she is the only one who wants to play.

Emily did an amazing job; my original sitter had something come up so I needed someone last minute and she was understanding, flexible, and communicative. I could tell from the pictures she sent me that our cat loved the attention from her. Would definitely book her again!

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.
