“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!”
“Andrew and Sophia are wonderful dog sitters! Pinion needed drop-in visits when I returned to work, and they were fantastic with him. They are true dog listeners and took the time to understand his needs. I received daily visit reports with pictures, and they even surprised me with a sweet rhyming poem about Pinion. They truly went above and beyond for my little guy!”
“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.”
“Aleana is punctual, communicative and my cats new best friend! I will be setting up many more visits with her. Any worries I had about leaving my cat alone are completely gone and I can actually enjoy my time away knowing Bruce is in great hands. :)”
About: I’ve taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I live in an apartment and have two cats. I love dogs and I can’t have one here in the apartment complex. So this is my way I can get my needs met. I’m a very caring and dedicated person to my clients and their dogs and cats. I have two cats and they love sitting with me and watching TV. I mean it they watch TV with me. My one cat has to smell every food that I eat. She won’t always eat it but she has to smell it or she won’t leave me alone. Love that girl. I live in an apartment but I can easily drop in feed, walk them and play with them. Staying overnight is fine with me as well.
“Julissa is the epitome of what I was looking for in someone to care for my dog while Im not home. She is kind, super professional, responsive and on time. She took perfect control of my dog right from the start, asking all the right questions, and took her on a walk during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend her enough, if I could, Id give 10 stars!!”
About: I’ve had and lived with my dog Rocky(shitzhu poodle mix, shipoo!) for the last 15 years, taking care of him and walking him multiple times every day, and have built an innate love for all dogs and animals of all kinds. I have a very open schedule with my classes at ASU, and would love to drop in to help walk or take care of your pets when you need it! For the last couple years, I have walked my neighbors and friends dogs many times as an unofficial side gig, and I’m looking to get more on the map! Hope to hear from you and your awesome pets 😎 I have a couple classes that I am finishing at ASU in Mesa, but am totally free all day every days except Thursdays and Saturdays! Fridays aren’t listed as open for me but they could work just message me about availability! I usually work weekends so that’s why those aren’t as open. I can readily walk, play with, feed, crate, care for and hang out with your pets however you may need me to! I love animals of all types and they seem to get along great with me too!!
“Kaidan and her partner were such great sitters! My Persian boy even made a friend with their cat Yuzu during his time at their place! I was provided with so many pictures to give me a piece of mind knowing my furry buddy was being taken good care of. I highly recommend! Thanks!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and believe they are part of the family. I will treat your Dog as if it was my own, with great care, compassion and attention, as well as your home. For the last year I took care of a clients home and two pets while he had to be out of the country until he ended up moving there! I’ve taken care of puppies as well as senior pets with major health conditions. I will be with your dogs full time as I am taking courses online for a second degree. I can work days and weekends for visits or in home care/overnights if you’re going to be out of town. Your pets will get lots of attention, walks, love and play time! I take pride in the care and respect for your pets and home as I would my own. Trust and communication are very important to me as well as making you feel comfortable with me taking care of your furry family and home. I will always send pictures with updates so you can see how happy your pups are! ! I LOVE pet photography as you can see from my gallery! ! Also if you need plants watered or mail/packages received that is no problem! I also take pride in cleaning and enjoy doing it (and my clients love that too)!
“I was pleased with Karsyn taking care of my Maggie while I was gone for a few days over Thanksgiving, She arrived on time and stayed the hour that she was assigned. She made sure to send me pictures and updates on the days she was here. I used her as a drop in caregiver for just a few days to cover during the days my regular sitter wasn't available. The only problem I had was when I contacted her I didn't realize her profile information hadn't been updated. I wanted someone to do overnight coverage which she wasn't available to do since the birth of her little boy. It all worked out as I had another gal covering the rest of the time. She and Maggie seemed to get along just fine and she was reliable. I would use her again without hesitation.”

About: Hi, my name is Kylie! I have been around animals my entire life and have always had a strong passion for caring for them. I grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota with 3 dogs and 2 cats, which gave me a lot of experience caring for and being around animals from a young age. During college, I began dog sitting for friends and developed a weekly dog-sitting client. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets. I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with reliable and loving care while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m able to provide frequent attention, walks, potty breaks, meals, and companionship throughout the day. I love having animals around while I work and will make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fenced-in backyard where your pets can safely enjoy some outdoor time, along with a comfortable two-story apartment where they can relax and feel at home. I will always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while they are in my care. My goal is to provide a loving and trustworthy environment and treat every pet like they are my own.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for years. I started pet sitting in high school and have continued through young adulthood, caring for around 50 dogs in my community. Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
