“Melissa was awesome! She is professional, kind and genuine. We had no concerns after our Wheaton terrier wouldn’t leave her side on her initial visit. Having never used a service like this, Melissa won us over and we will definitely request her again.”

About: I been around and had a dog for most of my childhood. I would feed and walk my relatives dogs when they were away or busy. I do have a full time job, but I want stay busy and have a side hustle. Plus, caring for animals give me joy ☺️ I prefer to take care of your pet in the comfort of your home. A place for your pet that is familiar to them to feel comfortable.
“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!”
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.
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!!
“Logan is great! We just moved to the area and needed some last minute assistance. Logan quickly responded, completed a meet and greet and set us at ease that Diego would be well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“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”
About: I've spent many years caring for my own dogs and cats, giving me real, everyday experience with feeding, litter, routines, and understanding dog and cat behavior. I grew up on a farm in Iowa where we always had a family dog, chickens, pigs, sheep, and cattle. As an adult, I've had both cats and dogs. My husband and I have 5 adult daughters. 4 of the 5 girls have a cat of their own. We currently have a 1 year old Cavachon puppy, Mario. When we were in Iowa we had an English Mastiff and Huskey (unfortunately both passed away before we moved to Florida). Growing up the girls had indoor cats - LoverDover and Wallace. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention. I am home most days and can easily accomodate last minute care needs for your dog/cat throughout the week or weekend. I'm planning to begin substitute teaching this fall, but for now I am available nearly full-time for pet care. Your pets will get consistent care, playtime and companionship built right into my daily routine. I provide care in my clients' homes, which means your pets stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your routines exactly as you describe them - feeding, litter, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I'm very respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and make sure doors, windows, and gates are secure at all times. My focus is on safety, consistency, and keeping your pets relaxed while you're away.
“Dez did an amazing job! Highly recommend her for your fur babies. She was a great communicator. She sent me lots of pictures and left detailed messages about my dog Almond. She made me feel that Almond was safe and happy for the couple of days I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to check-in on Almond while I am away in the future. She was also super nice and fun to work with. :)”
About: As an animal lover since childhood, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life, including my own two cats and a dog. My pet care experience includes feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. I’m a patient and active caregiver who believes that every animal deserves love, kindness, and quality care. My passion for animals ensures that I'll provide the best possible care for your pets while you're away.//Si puedo hablar español! In addition to my full-time job from 9AM-5:30PM, I make sure to spend quality time with my own pets every day. For pet care services, I’m available on weekdays from 6AM-9PM, as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. This allows me to provide dedicated care to your furry companions, while still ensuring that my own pets are well taken care of. Just send me a message and I can let you know! When caring for pets in the client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walking, and grooming schedules. I always treat the home with respect and keep it tidy and secure as I do for my own. I believe that communication is key, so I provide the owners with regular updates and photos of their beloved pets while they’re away. This gives them peace of mind and reassurance that their pets are in good hands.
About: I grew up on a 60 acre ranch in Oregon. Horses, cattle, dogs, cats, birds, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, goats, and fish as pets. I've had a dog, cat and bird that grew up together and ate, slept and played together. Raised ducks and gesse that followed me wherever I went. Raised birds to talk and whistle songs. Had fish trained to eat from my hand and let me pet them. I've had as many as 6 dogs at one time of different and/or mixed breeds. I've had as many as 10 cats at one time, always with one that I was 'his person'. I will play with your pets, sit with and comfort them, whatever they need that day. I know what its like to leave my dog in someone else's care and I assure you may rest easy knowing they are in good hands. My dog is part of our family. We do everything together whenever possible. We have a 1/4 acre fully fenced just for our 2 yr old and our dogs to run and play safely. It is difficult to leave him home when we want to go somewhere, so I know how it feels to be worried about leaving him in someone else's care. I like playing with dogs, cats and birds. Whatever their needs to make them feel comfortable while you are gone, I'm sure I can accommodate. They miss us when we are gone far more than we probably realize. I will do my best to ease their anxiety and leave them feeling at ease.
About: I have a deep understanding of dog care, having raised and cared for my own four dogs, which gives me a personal perspective on their needs. This includes everything from basic grooming and maintaining a clean, comfortable living environment to ensuring regular walks, exercise, and mental enrichment to keep dogs happy and healthy. I also specialize in scheduled feedings and bathroom breaks, tailoring care routines to each pet's unique needs and ensuring they feel safe and secure in their daily routines. My experience extends to caring for a variety of animals, as well as providing reliable pet sitting for breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I’m currently enrolled in school online and have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends ! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, if you’re furry companion prefers alone time I can easily keep dogs separated and have crates available if needed

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.
