“He did not succumb to the eye hypnosis trick my overeating dog uses to convince people she hasn’t been fed in weeks. He was not driven away by the chaos that ensues when a human enters the house. All this and he still came back. Thanks! Great job! Pups love him! Hire him! Woof!”
“5 star experience! She jumped in on a last-minute booking, was so flexible, and kept us in the loop the whole time. She handled our anxious puppy and reactive senior with ease! We will absolutely book her again!”
“My puppy and 2 kitties loved the couple of days they had with Maggie visiting, my cat, who is afraid of even being seen by others, was snuggled up next to her in pictures. And I really appreciated seeing pictures, especially because I was in a last-minute need of someone for a new pup and didn't get a chance to meet her ahead of time. Maggie was very helpful and gracious in all our interactions, including offering to call for an introduction because of my short notice for needing her. I will definitely hire her again when needed.”
“Nadaly is SO good with my dog! She arrived early, spent time with him, walked him, and played with him!! She made sure that he had everything that he needed and that he was comfortable before she left. The booking was very last minute so I’m grateful that Nadaly was able and willing to help. I recommend her! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy, Nadaly!”
About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My approach is calm, patient, and safety‑focused, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and understood while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart • Experienced with all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication reminders, and a slower pace. • Strong communication — I keep owners updated with detailed messages, photos, and honest observations so you always know how your pet is doing. • Behavior‑aware care — I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, and routines to help pets feel secure and supported. • Clean, organized, and respectful — I treat your home and your pets with the same care I’d want for my own. Special Skills • Puppy routines (crate training basics, potty schedules, positive reinforcement) • Senior dog support (mobility assistance, patience with slower movement, comfort‑focused care) • Administering oral medications • Experience with shy, anxious, reactive, or rescue dogs who need extra reassurance • Maintaining feeding, walking, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed During the school year, I work full‑time at a school from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, which means I’m fully available for pet care after 3:45 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m also completely free all summer long, giving me plenty of time for daytime visits, longer stays, and more flexible scheduling. Weekday Routine (During the School Year) • Early evening drop‑ins or walks after 3:45 PM • Dinner‑time visits, playtime, and routine check‑ins • Evening house sitting or overnight stays • Consistent communication throughout the evening with updates and photos Weekend Routine • Fully open availability for:• Morning, afternoon, and evening visits • Longer stays or house sitting • Extended walks, enrichment, or extra playtime Summer Schedule • Wide‑open daytime availability for all services • Perfect for pets who need midday walks, regular check‑ins, or full‑day companionship • Flexible scheduling for multi‑day house sitting or vacation coverage When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. What I Do in Your Home • Stick to your pet’s routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime are followed exactly as instructed. • Provide calm, attentive companionship — whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I match their energy and needs. • Keep your home tidy and respected — I clean up after pets, maintain litter boxes or outdoor potty areas, and leave your home just as I found it. • Monitor behavior and well‑being — I pay close attention to body language, appetite, energy levels, and any changes that might need your attention. • Send consistent updates — you’ll receive clear communication, photos, and honest notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Additional Care You Can Expect • Administering oral medications if needed • Supporting shy, anxious, or rescue pets with patience and gentle handling • Maintaining multi‑pet household dynamics safely • Extra enrichment like play sessions, brushing, or outdoor time (as allowed)

“Nicholas and Caitlin were so great! They communicated well and sent pictures, showed up promptly for the check ins and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our boys most importantly you could tell the dogs really loved them. We have big boisterous dogs and they are not for the faint of heart-Caitlin and Nicholas didn’t bat an eye and even won over our shy guy. We will absolutely be booking again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.
About: Expert in aquarium animals and cats because of my axolotls, cat and senior cat. I’ve taken a liking to dog care since I was 12 years old. I work Monday-thursday from 6-10, so my availability lies before 5:30 on those days with a little more flexibility on nights and weekends. For those that need help those specific times. I have basic knowledge about dogs: food, house, walks, and handling. Though I’ve never owned a dog you may want to communicate any special instructions to me beforehand.
About: I have experience caring for neighbors dogs and love to be around them. I take pride in always being willing to expand my knowledge about breeds, different care methods, and always improving. I’m currently working part time as well as attending college so my schedule can be a little hectic, however I pride myself on managing my time effectively. I prefer as many care details as you’re willing to give, and I will probably take notes as well. I like to take walks to stay healthy so your pet will have plenty of time outside. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality and quirks is half the fun for me!

“Allyson went above and beyond, truly!! I feel beyond lucky to have found her! We have 4 cats, 2 that are kittens and they are our babies! We could clearly tell that the cats had been well taken care of. When we got home we noticed that the litter stayed cleaned and the cats were completely normal, as in they stayed on schedule and happy ?? One of the kittens had a scratch above her eye and Allyson kept a close eye on her healing and overall well being. Her messages were kind and reassuring. For the first time in a while we felt completely comfortable and assured that the kitties were in good hands while we were away. Excited to have Allyson now we all love her! ?”

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.
