“Kendall was a great pet sitter. She was promptly responsive, she was careful and detail oriented in caring for my cats, provided helpful updates about my cats and home, and I would recommend her!”

“The absolute best caregiver that my cats have ever had. Sibel took care of my 3 cats, Stripey, Buddy and Tiny Peanut. She would come in and greet them all each visit. She would talk to them and play with them each visit. They took to her right away. Even the two that tend to be slow to warm up to people. She is such a warm and loving person. I had complete peace while I was away. She gave my cats treats, petted them, played with them, talked to them and brushed them. This is the best care they have ever received. I plan to use Sibel for all my cat care going forward if she has availability. They absolutely love her. Sibel is completely trustworthy and followed all of my instructions for my cats. I’m grateful for her great care.”

“Madeline took exceptional care of our five cats while we were away and truly exceeded all of our expectations. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with multiple pets, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, and gave each of our cats the individual attention and care they needed. One thing we especially appreciated was her excellent communication. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a home that was just as we left it. It was obvious that Madeline genuinely cared about our pets and treated them like they were her own. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: Hi! My name is Dylan! I have taken care of pets for 2 years now. However, I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I understand what it means to leave your pets with others, and I promise to treat your pets like the family they are! I have had dogs, cats, fish, and lizards my whole life. I have helped foster kittens multiple times. There is truly nothing more important to me than building a relationship with your pets! My schedule is currently completely flexible and I am ready for any and all jobs. I am on Rover in hopes to create new memories with fur babies, and gain experience with all kinds of pets. My schedule is completely flexible! I am available morning and night, as well as throughout the day. I am willing to work with what works for you! We have our own dog, Pepper. A large fenced backyard with a pet friendly pool. As well as, we live right by Fountain Hills Park where I will gladly take your pets to play around!
About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and getting to spend time with them has been one of my favorite pastimes! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new furry friends throughout the years and getting to know their own unique personalities! I always treat every new pup I see as if they’re my own. I hope I get the chance to meet your pups soon and give them a little extra company! Currently, my schedule is full open availability. I have no problem commuting for that reason:). I plan on focusing my attention on pet-sitting, as I’ve always had a love for animals! At my home, I have two super good boys! One is a Golden Retriever (11) and the other is a Shih-Tzu (15). They are fed every morning and taken out at least 3 times a day. Toys are never-ending and they are spoiled rotten (they get to sleep in the bed😉). Both of these pups are constantly getting attention…I mean come on, how can I not?!
“Emma was awesome! She took perfect care of my sweet kitties. It’s so hard to leave town because I worry about my pets, but Emma eased my mind by communicating with me daily and sending pictures. She also kept everything very tidy, which I really appreciate!”


About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households of all sizes. I love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. During the week, I attend classes, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care for your pets.

I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, where your pets can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I have experience following household routines, respecting home rules, and treating every home with the utmost care. Most importantly, I'll give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you're away.

“Gwyn did an outstanding job caring for our 2 🐈, 2 🐢 and bearded dragon 🐉 while we are away. Everything went exactly as planned and communication was great while we were away.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.
About: I can care for feathers 🪶, fins 🐟 and fur 🐈⬛🐕. Anything you need really. I love animals and have spent my whole life working with them. I have two rescue kitties myself. I am flexible, I work for a major hospital Monday-Wednesday. This is my part time job the 4 days I’m not at work :) I really only need 24 hr notice. If you are in dire need of your pet to be checked on I can do my best to accommodate shorter notice. I cannot board any pets, or stay overnight. I have two kitties 🐈⬛ of my own to care for. I do house visits and walks.
About: Hello I’m Ava! I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding center for awhile and also have dogsat/house sat over the summers! Learned how to manage dogs and their behavior/needs. No issue with cleaning messes and accidents, feeding schedules, or certain routines the dogs follow. We dealt with all kinds of dogs, big dogs, small dogs, active dogs, slow dogs. If the dog is on the bigger side I prefer to be warned about it because I am 4’11 and I have been easily oversized by big dogs at the daycare. I’ve also worked alongside seniors for about 2 years. I worked with independent, dependent, and sometimes memory care. Because of these two jobs, I have gained some great skills regarding caring for others Currently no job since my usual job is seasonal. I start back up in October. Open schedule pretty much most days, I do like to hangout with friends often but if any issue arises during, no issue leaving and visiting the dogs. I just prefer anything past 7-8 am, 6 am is not my strong suit. My current daily routine is waking up, going to the gym, and then whatever else I plan for that day. Pricing for taking care of your dog can vary, I’ve yet to figure out an appropriate amount per hour with rover taking out the fees and such. Able to work with any environment, can crate a dog if needed. Our yard is fenced but if owners backyard isn’t I can still watch over throughly. I’ve watched dogs in others houses and the daycare center. Either way it can be worked with.

My personal and work life! Let me care for your fur babies and make it the best care for them! With 3 years of vet medicine experience, I know what is best for your loved ones!

“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve watched friends and families dogs, fed, walked, bathed, etc. and now I am looking to expand my pet care services. Prefer hypoallergenic dogs and dogs that weigh under 40 lbs, will consider all requests depending on the dog. I always had dogs since I can remember. I look forward to hearing from you! I am home full time and can cater to your dogs specific needs. I can let them out often and we can take walks, and play! I have a fenced in yard, I can allow as much outside or indoor time as your dog is use to. My house is minimal with a lot of room for your dog to explore and or just chill out and have a calm and relaxed environment.
“thank you again, Brandon as per usual you put my mind out use when I'm away from my animals. Thank you for taking on Freya when you had such a busy schedule. I really appreciate you.”

“This was our first time with Therese. We recently relocated and had to be gone for a few days. We have two very spoiled cats, one of which has not adjusted to the move. We were concerned about leaving them but Therese but all our worries to rest. She spent a lot of “love” time with them, made sure they had their medications, was prompt and communicative. We’ve now decided she needs to be our forever pet sitter😊 We are super happy with the care our cats received!”

Sibel is amazing!!! She checked in on our three cats while we were on vacation. She is so reliable, responsive, and amazing with cats! She sent very cute videos playing with them, and even got our older cat (usually not very active) to play. Highly recommend 😊

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.
