About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.

About: I am new to Rover but I was a foster for a shelter in Florida for 5 years, I have had many different types of dogs and cats. I love animals and would have a lot more if I could! I stay at home all day and I am available to care for your pet anytime. I love being around animals weather it’s playing ball or just walking. I live on 3.5 acre and have a fenced yard. I even have a fence in front yard. I like to use leashes for my little dog when I go outside due to coyotes. My dogs are in my house and can roam anywhere.

About: Over the last 20 years I have dog sat for my brother and a couple friends. I would let the dogs out to play, potty, feed them etc. My brother also has cats and a fish tank as well. I have had dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Right now I have a hound mix that is 100 pounds and his name is Logan. I will treat your furry friend like my own and love on them as well. I love animals in general. I believe every animal deserves to be cared for wit love, respect, and dignity. They are like humans they have feelings as well. I would love to help you and your family out with your furry friend. You can reach out to me anytime. I currently have a 100 pound hound mix who i absolutely love. He is five years old and five months. He took some time to get used to us as a puppy as we think he was abused. I take him for walks, let him out back and stay with him, and play with him with his favorite toy(tennis balls) I have grown up with animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, upon many others. I have also watched animals for friends and family. I will treat anyone's animals with love. I have a fenced in backyard I let my dog out in. I'm constantly outside with him playing and loving on him to make sure he is safe from anything that will hurt him. I take him on walks in my subdivision to give him a little more exercise. When someone needs to me watch their pet I am letting them out back to play while remaining outside with them and making sure they have fresh air. I will also do daily walks when needed.
About: I have been cat sitting and fostering pets for about a year now, taking care of friends cats and helping animals in crisis (medical needs requiring them to be away from the shelter or in need of a temporary home). I work from home, so taking care of pets and being available to any of their needs would fit very easily into my daily or weekly routine. I would care for pets in my home just as they were my own pets. They would be free to roam the house (barring a few closed doors) and I would cater to any medical needs or preferences and follow their pre-determined schedule as closely as possible.
“Brittney was just the right care giver for our shy kitties! The pictures she sent eased my over protective heart. When we got home, the water & food bowls were filled & litter boxes were clean & tidy. She even took in our early Amazon delivery. We will definitely call on her every time we go away!”

“Charis was absolutely incredible!! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our kitties for the first time. She was so quick to reply and sent so many pictures of the cats during her drop in visits and i could tell they felt safe and comfortable around her! She took very great care of our pets and I will absolutely book her again!”

“Diane was wonderful! I felt confident and comfortable with her from our first meeting. She took great care of my 3 cats while we were away and sent me pictures from each visit. The communication was solid and she was just overall amazing with my fur babies! I will definitely use her services next time we are away!”

About: I am a long time dog owner, and recent college grad. I do not work a traditional 9-5 which allows me lots of flexibility to meet your needs! I do not work a traditional 9-5 so I can mostly make my schedule around the pets that I am looking after, it is a priority. Making sure the animal is comfortable with me and feels safe and at home. Making sure I’m following the instructions of the owner when it comes to food, training, and walking.
“Shelby met with us before we hired her and was good with our dogs in person. She did mid-day breaks two days in a row while we were unable to be at home. She navigated two energetic youngsters and a senior pup. Will use again.”

About: I’ve had animals all my life! When I was 9 we had 3 cats, 4 dogs, a parrot and an aviary of small birds. Over the years I’ve taken care of all sorts of breeds from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Currently I have a semi-reactive pitbull rescue so I’m very sensitive to any special interaction needs. I work from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can pop in pretty much anytime for walks or visits, and overnight care on weeknights is no problem. I can be in your home with your furry one as much or as little as you’d like. Whether they’re couch potatoes or avid walkers, I’m there to keep them occupied, loved and fed (occasionally with some homemade treats).

“Seriously phenomenal. She did exactly what I needed her to do and I left her with a barely stayed in between trips messy apartment and I didn't even BARELY feel judged. She's perfect. I'll use her every time I go out of town if I can! The cats were themselves and she was right there with them understanding their shyness. She's perfect”

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.

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.
