“Lacey is wonderful - my dog has a lot of energy, and Lacey does a great job of getting some of that energy out when I have long days at work. Plus, she takes great pictures! Thank you, Lacey!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, and other animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family had numerous animals over the years that I assisted in training and caregiving. I have two pups of my own that were both rescued and trained. I am familiar with dogs who are reactive or have behavior problems. I trained my dogs in basic commands, agility, and search and find. I treat all animals like they are my own, so please contact me if there is anything special about your pet that I should know! I am currently taking some time off from work, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies. I am always happy to provide extra pets and snuggles to those who love a little extra attention. If there are any specifics I need to know about you, your home, or fur baby, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.
“Willow was fantastic! Both of my kitties immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her! That’s really all I can ask for but she also followed my feeding instructions to a T, and was very respectful of my space- even cleaned their food bowls for me before she left on her last visit! I will definitely be a repeat client 😄”
“Victoria was so great to work with! Communicative, punctual and respectful of my shy senior cat. She took such good care of her, provided me detailed information of what was happening and took really great photos! I highly recommend her!”
“Our pups love when Rebecca comes over! She has been great helping us out while we work from home with regular weekly drop ins, and was also a HUGE help house sitting when we went out of town on vacation. She sends lots of updates and pictures while we are out. She does a great job playing and caring for our two rambunctious German shepherds and they absolutely love having her around.”
“Jeremy was exceptional!! …with me & my pets :) I was nervous using this service for the first time, and he did a tremendous job putting me (and my 3 pets) all at ease. He sent updates & pics regularly - It felt wonderful knowing they were so well taken care of for my 5 days away! Thank you, Jeremy!”
About: Raised around dogs my entire life, my family and friends have consistently trusted me to care for their canine family. I have a two year old GSD of my own whom I share with my best friend who is the sweetest and most loving dog you will ever meet. Pet sitting is a priority on my schedule, so I will always find the time that is necessary to advocate for you and your pets! I always start my routine by opening doors slowly to make sure nobody escapes. I clean litter boxes daily, even if it isn’t necessary. For male cats, I am always making sure they’ve used the restroom within the past 24 hours, in order to avoid urinary tract issues. If the kitty doesn’t seem to be in a playful mood, I always make sure to maintain space to allow them to approach me on their own accord. I have two female cats of my own, and all of my daily sitter habits reflect to them as well. I go above and beyond to make sure your furry friends are safe and happy.
“Carrie was great! She was flexible with our schedule when we had to make some late minutes changes and was patient with our puppy and a senior dog who get super excited when they meet guests. I would definitely book Carrie again!”
About: I grew up through my teen years as the neighborhood pet sitter in my small town. I’ve been known for spending quality time with the animals and getting to know their personalities. Pets deserve top tier care, they need to feel loved and cared for. I can provide that care. I work evenings, so I am available during the day, and overnights. I work shorter shifts than most (5-6 hrs). I can make sure your pet is taken care of Clean up any messes left behind by me or the pet. Try to leave a place better than I found it. Make sure food and water are stocked.
“Megan was amazing. She did a great job with our fearful dog and made sure she was happy and fed. She send us cute photos and updates every time she visited. We will use her again!”
“I highly recommend Lucia! She was our first Rover sitter. She was so loving to our grand puppy and cat. She was prompt with all of her visits. Great communicator! We received pictures and updates at each visit. She did everything exactly as we asked. We will absolutely will use her again!”
“Jenny is so easy to work with and great with our two dogs. I appreciate her flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances and schedules when it works for her. The dogs love it when she comes for drop ins!”
“Erica was fantastic! We had a quick "meet and greet" a couple of days before the sit, which was a great way to get acquainted. On the day of the sit, she arrived on time, stayed for the appropriate duration, and took wonderful care of our dog. She even sent multiple pictures, which gave us peace of mind. I would definitely use Erica again and highly recommend her!”
“Grant did a great job! He stopped by my place to walk my dogs. My one and half year old pit mix Luna has a ton of energy and he didn’t have any issues with her. I would totally use him again if he’s available.”
“Courtney took my request last minute when our prior dog sitting plan fell through. She was extremely responsive and made me feel comfortable that my two dogs would be well taken care of. I loved getting the updates and photos from each visit and being able to communicate between visits. My dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and were able to play, cuddle, and be themselves while I was gone. It gave me great peace of mind of my travels to know they were so well cared for.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fitzhugh
We had a great experience with Kimberlee. She was reliable, professional, and thorough while looking after our very skittish kitty, Mia. She sent photo updates of each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also took care of our houseplants, fed the birds outside and refilled the hummingbird feeder. Highly recommend Kimberlee!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Exceptional Care Olivia took care of our Siamese, Bailey, for five days over the Christmas holiday, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the very beginning, she made sure Bailey had every creature comfort and treated her with so much patience and respect. She sent plenty of photos for our peace of mind, and she took the time to truly understand Bailey’s personality and routines—which made us feel completely confident in her care. She also went above and beyond—thoroughly cleaning Bailey’s litter box and keeping everything spotless. It was a blessing to find someone this attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in our pet’s well‑being. We will absolutely be rebooking Olivia any time we need a Rover. She is truly outstanding.
Brian was an excellent sitter. He was very attentive to the needs of our kitties. He gave detailed summaries after each visit and sent great pictures. Scout, Rover and Abigail were well cared for and happy when we returned. I would highly recommend Brian’s services and plan to use him again when for our next trip!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
