“My wife and I were VERY hesitant in leaving our Princess Kitty alone while we were gone for a few days but after meeting with Gabby, and seeing how well she interacted with our cat it was a no brainer. VERY satisfied with the service Gabby provided. Recommend her 1000%”
About: Hi! My name is Ella! I am 18 years old and I’ve always loved animals! I am a college student currently pursuing a degree in music business looking for some extra cash + some extra pet love in my life! I currently work from home so I am always just one call away for any needs or wants! I promise to prioritize ur pup and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while also keeping up with every needed task. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, with all kinds of energy levels. I also have experience with different sizes of dogs, both big and small! I like to incorporate pet care into my daily routine by using it as motivation to get out of the house and workout and go on walks. It is also a perk to wind down and relax with a furry friend! I enjoy the company and the responsibility of caring for someone else. While taking care of your pets I promise to always prioritize your animals, I am always just one text or call away for any reason. I promise to provide constant updates on how your pet is doing + if I have any questions or concerns. I understand that putting something as important as a pet into someone else’s care can be scary but I promise that your pet is safe with me + I will treat it as if it’s my own.
“Loved having someone I feel like I can trust take care of my puppy while we're working. Rebecca shows how much she cares about animals with the dedication and time she puts into sitting. We'll definitely keep booking with her!”

“Christelle was amazing with my cat! She was very communicative with me and shared a lot of photos 😊 she was a great pet sitter and I would definitely hire her again!”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic! One of our babies has separation anxiety and occasionally ends up leaving messes but Emily handled it all with so much grace, patience, and professionalism. She kept me updated, cleaned everything up beautifully, and made sure our babies were happy and comfortable. It is such a relief to have a sitter who is reliable and handles unexpected situations so well. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
About: Have taken care of and owned dogs all my life as well as been partnering with another pet sitting business to take in overflow. No kid home, safe and secure for your pet. Open to special requests such as if you want your dog walked at a park once a day, or kept separate from any other animals, etc. also if you’d like daily or multidaily updates and photos that can be requested. I work from home as a tailor so I’m home most of the day, no long hours away. I live alone so no extra people or strangers will be in the house or going in and out throughout the day. Close to Colonial animal hospital and Blue pearl incase of any emergency. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and a friendly small dog that is happy to play with a new friend. If your pet sleeps in bed at night I’d be happy to accommodate or if they’re crated at night I can also do so for you. I try to follow the same rules they live by at home including if they’re allowed on furniture, how they’re fed, etc.
“Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.”
About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!
“Our dog care arrangements fell through 3 days before we were leaving for vacation. We knew that she wouldn't do well in a boarding situation. We met Brianna and she was a good fit. Our dog Alma really liked her during our meet and greet. We felt comfortable leaving her at home with Brianna doing drop in visits. We arrived home last night to a happy dog. Receiving the visit updates reassured us that Alma was in good hands. We definitely will use Brianna again”
“Very happy with Linda. She was always there at the requested time. Sent updates daily. We recommend her highly and will definitely use her again. Thank you Linda for making it so had no worries. Also, Daisy was happy having Linda take care of her!!”
About: I have been fostering animals for 4–5 years, caring for pets ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and more. Animals have been a part of my life since day one, and I have a precious fur baby of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and someone they can feel safe and loved with too. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur babies! I work full time from Tuesdays to Saturdays however I do dictate my own schedule and I am able to work my schedule out a bit. I usually go into work between 8-10am and leave between 4-6pm. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I believe they are happiest in their own environment surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and comfort. I will come to you, so your pet never has to leave the place they love most. You can trust that your home and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect. My focus is entirely on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you are away.

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.

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 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.
