“Charlie (cat) loved having Sara come by. I understand he was waiting. When I got home he was also waiting at the door, but soon realized it was just me. She did a great job. She sent pictures and communicated extremely well. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and compassionate animal lover. Thanks Sara.”
“Jordan was so great with my cat, he's very helpful and brought packages in for me, my garbage can and came daily as scheduled. He asked great questions, communicated very well and kept food and h20 full. Thanks so much Jordan!”
About: Having cared for my own crew of two dogs and five cats, I’ve handled just about every personality, routine, and sudden mess imaginable. That hands-on life experience translates into calm, confident care tailored to your pet's specific comfort zone and schedule. I treat every animal in my care with the same deep affection and attention I give my own. Hi, I’m your local Garner pet caregiver! As a lifelong animal lover with two dogs and five cats of my own, I live for everything from cozy dog cuddles to watching cats get the zoomies. Wednesdays are fully dedicated to your pets, offering focused drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, and house sitting. Plus, with my professional cleaning background, I’ll handle any pet spills or messes on the spot, ensuring your pets are happy and your home stays spotless while you're away. When caring for a guest dog and cat in my home, I keep their exact routines intact with dedicated, cozy spaces so they can eat, play, and relax without any stress. Cats of course are more independent than dogs but both are treated with love and respect!
“Suzie is an above and beyond pet sitter! Our cat would literally run downstairs when she visited. Suzie spent quality time with her while we were away, making us feel at ease during our trip. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“We’ve been using Jia for two years now, and I can confidently say she’s amazing—not just with our pups, but overall. It’s incredibly nerve-wracking to find someone you can fully trust in your home while you’re away, but Jia is truly that person. She’s reliable, caring, and absolutely wonderful with our dogs. We’re so grateful to have her!”
“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”
“Mattea took great care of my shy senior kitty while I was out of town. She was able to gain her trust and administer her meds without a problem. She provided lots of updates and pictures too! Will definitely book her again!!”
“Bella is extremely sweet. I was concerned my giant breed mix rescue (10 months old with a mouthing problem) might be too much of a handful to ask of any sitter, but she stepped in enthusiastically and I have nothing but positives to say. I got multiple photos each visit (Monday-Friday), a fairly detailed rundown (including my dog’s energy levels, training progress, etc.), and Tulip has been in a great mood every evening when I come home from work. This was my first time having a caretaker for a pet, so I was very nervous (especially about my house being a mess) but I gained so much relief from the help and would absolutely recommend Bella to anyone looking for help.”
About: I’ve previously been a dog trainer, and have worked at several daycare/pet-centered places. Dogs are my absolute joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! My work schedule is a bit up in the air right now, but I’ll do everything I can to ensure your pup is comfortable while you’re away. I make sure dogs go out frequently to potty, whether that be a quick walk on the leash, or letting them out in the backyard. Meals are given per instructions left for me, and playtime will definitely happen, if that’s something they enjoy. Otherwise, we can snuggle up.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 16 years old. I volunteer regularly at the ASPCA where I am certified. I also pet sit for friends and family. I grew up with large dogs and I’m accustomed to working with small and large animals. I have a full-time job with a half-day on Fridays so I am open to working anytime during the weekend. I can do early morning shifts in late nights and come over at all hours. I have a play area at my apartment complex and a lot of sidewalks near me to keep your pet safe on a walk. I’m comfortable with all crates and feeding schedules, etc. as well as multiple pets in the home.
“I could not be happier with Alexis. Excellent communication and professionalism. My Bliss was well taken care of when I returned home. I highly recommend Alexis I hope she is available for my next trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I worked at Petco for 4 years and was a certified dog trainer for them for 2 years. I’ve worked with different types of dogs/animals and have learned how to identify a problem or emergency. Your dog will always be in a safe and welcoming environment. I’m super flexible and will do anything to help your pup out. I love taking walks and playing around with dogs, the more enrichment the better. I also can work with any size dog at any age. Your dog will be unstressed, comfortable, and always have a friend there for them. I work full time but am always willing to provide care any time I’m not working! I love being around animals and the more I can do for them, the more satisfied I feel. Our pets are our furry kids who make us feel loved and safe. They all deserve the best care possible. Dogs need lots of exercise, love, and attention and whether in my own home or in yours, you can trust that I will provide that. Cats have a mind of their own, they either want space to do their thing while feeling like they’re safe to do so, or they want all the attention in the world. I can provide both. :)
About: I've always loved dogs. I've taken care of all different breeds, sizes, a special needs dog, and senior dogs for about 10 years. I had two loving rescues. I rescued my girl when she was 10 weeks old...and potty trained and crate trained her. I've also administered oral medication in pill and liquid form with success! I'm a very patient, loving, honest and hardworking care provider...who will always put your dogs needs first and love them like they are my own! I work part-time as a nanny so I'm available for dog sitting in your home, drop ins, walks, and trips to the vet or groomer While staying in your home I'm able to take your dog out on a leash for frequent potty breaks and walks. I'm able to feed, water, administer medicine, play, give lots and lots of snuggles, and belly rubs. I'm also able to take a trip to a dog park if you would like
“Ashley was great with taking care of my cats! She made sure they were taken care of and happy while I was away. Not only did she watch my kitties but she brought in a few packages and had to deal with a situation with ants by their food. She was communicative and posted lots of pictures for me to see my babies while away. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to others!”
About: Hi there! I’ve been a proud pet owner and animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me.

I’m available to help with walks, feeding, playtime in the park, baths, and whatever your pet needs to feel happy, healthy, and loved. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who may require patience, gentle handling, or medication. My goal is to give you peace of mind, to provide reliable, compassionate care and ultimately treat your furry family members as if they were my own. 🗓️ Scheduling: Because of my flexible work schedule, I have plenty of availability to assist you with your pets.

I absolutely love Alexandria!! 🐾❤️ She is so caring, dependable, and treats Luna like she’s her own. Every time she comes to let Luna out and spend some time playing with her, I know Luna is in the best hands. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s getting attention, love, and plenty of playtime while Im working or away. I couldn’t ask for someone better to care for my girl! Luna absolutely loves her, and we highly recommend her! 🐶💕
Erica was wonderful! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her updates and the peace of mind she provided throughout the stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
