About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication. Only you know your companion best and in order to provide safety and structure, as your care-taker it would be a privilege to honor your schedule and routine.
“Lauren was fantastic. We had a last minute trip and she pulled through for us. Very friendly and accommodated everything we asked for. I got daily pictures and my dog looked like he was having a blast. I will always use Lauren for my pet sitting 100%!”
“We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Brooke. We knew immediately upon meeting her that our pups were gonna be in good hands. I appreciated the updates after every visit and the pictures were a great bonus! We will definitely use Rover AND Brooke again!”
“I needed somebody to go to my house and take care of my cats since my trip out of state got extended and Alexandria was very prompt with her responses, followed instructions very well, and got my babies taken care of! I would absolutely trust her in my house and with my babies again!”
About: I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, including puppies and seniors, ensuring comfort, safety, and lots of love, patience and reliability every time. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring each pet gets consistent attention, care, and affection every day. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. I follow routines closely, maintain clean spaces, provide constant supervision, and respect each pet’s boundaries in my home or yours.
“As an ER veterinary technician and and Rover pets that are myself, my standards and expectations for the pet sitter of my own pets is high. Not only did Kristin meet those standards,, succeeded them. I got plenty of pictures, updates and communication fromher all throughout the week. Needless to say we will be using Christine again.”
“Lauren was super sweet with my babies . We arranged a meet in greet prior so they could get a feel for each other . She kept me updated the whole time and sent lots of pictures . Will rebook for sure !!!”
“Jadyn did an amazing job checking on our pups! She communicated very well, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of! This was our first time using Rover and she made this a very pleasant experience!”
About: I have cared for different breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, grooming, and administering medication when needed. Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. Each morning starts with feeding my pets, followed by their daily walk or playtime. This helps them get the exercise they need and gives me a chance to enjoy some bonding time. Throughout the week, I make it a point to spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing, training, or just cuddling on the couch. Grooming is another key aspect; I set aside time each week to brush them and check for any signs of health issues. Caring for pets at home and for clients involves a mix of attention and routine. In my home, I maintain a structured schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime while keeping their living space clean and safe. Regular grooming and vet check-ups are important too. For clients’ pets, I follow their specific instructions, ensuring I meet each pet’s needs through proper feeding, exercise, and play. I also monitor their behavior and health, reporting any concerns. Overall, I focus on creating a loving and safe environment for both my pets and my clients' pets.
About: I stand out because I have real, hands-on experience with all kinds of pets. I have six pets of my own (three dogs and three cats) that I’ve cared for since they were babies, so I truly understand daily pet care, routines, and responsibility. I’ve also been dog sitting for neighbors since I was 13, which has given me years of experience with different personalities and needs. I’ve worked with mean dogs, anxious dogs, and super energetic dogs, so I know how to stay calm, patient, and adjust my approach to each animal. Right now, I’m caring for my elderly blue heeler, so I’m especially comfortable with senior care, including slower walks, medications, and extra attention. I also have experience caring for puppies and helping them adjust to routines. Overall, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my schedule. I’m a full-time college student in the Price College of Business at OU, and my classes usually end in the early afternoon, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care during the day. I also teach cheer and tumbling lessons part-time, but those are scheduled and flexible, so I’m able to plan around them. Because of this, I have consistent time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m very organized with my schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it and fit it naturally into my daily routine. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine the same. I carefully follow all instructions given by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secure and that pets are supervised and safe at all times. I respect the home by keeping everything clean and organized, and I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or senior pets, and adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I treat both pets and homes with care and respect, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
“Alissa was very good with our Rex. This was our first time leaving our baby and she was very accommodating to our concerns. She could immediately tell our sweet boy was sad we left him and she went out of her way to make sure our boy was happy, comfortable and loved! We will definitely be using Alissa again!”
About: I’m always looking for an excuse to get my steps in, and spending time with pets is the perfect way to do it! Growing up, our home never felt complete without a couple of cats and dogs running around. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life, so making sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and well cared for comes naturally to me. I’m very flexible with my schedule since I’m currently freelancing and enrolled in online school. I’m available Monday- Friday and some weekends; holidays may vary. My dogs always loved spending time in our fenced backyard, so I know how important it is for pups to get plenty of exercise and playtime. Whether it's neighborhood walks, a trip to the dog park, or simply letting them run around in a secure backyard, I'm happy to keep them active and entertained. If your dog needs a little extra care, like a bath or light grooming, I'm happy to help—just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. For everyone's safety, I only accept dogs that are potty trained and non-aggressive. If your dog has any behavioral quirks or special needs, please let me know before booking so I can make sure we're a great fit!
“Christyl was great with our pup! She was responsive and sent pictures when she came to let him out! She followed all instructions and our dog loved her! Would def recommend and will be booking again with her!”

About: Hi! I’m Jordyn, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up in veterinary clinics, later became a veterinary technician and groomer, and now I’m living my dream as the founder and owner of JoJo’s Pack House LLC. My goal has always been to create a place where dogs are treated like family while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities—including seniors, puppies, special needs, and dogs who require medications or extra attention. Every dog who stays with me is treated like one of my own, with kindness, patience, love, and respect. So if you would like your animal(s) to get the time, love, and care that they always deserve, please feel free to contact me anytime. To give every dog the attention they deserve and to keep our daily routine running smoothly, drop-off and pick-up appointments are scheduled during designated appointment windows. DAYCARE HOURS: 8AM-5:00PM Full day or Half days available. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, grooming, and professional dog care, my goal is to provide a fun, low-stress, home-style environment where every dog feels like part of the family. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priorities. I have two friendly pups (dachshund and terrier mix) that love to make new friends! We have a fully fenced backyard and the pups are never left outside unattended. I intentionally keep my boarding small and personal so every guest receives plenty of one-on-one attention, love, and care. I send daily photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a safe and fun vacation! You’ll never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I love keeping owners updated throughout their stay. Every guest enjoys supervised outdoor time throughout the day, with potty breaks at least every three hours or more often if needed.
About: I previously had a vizsla and a GSP so I’m very familiar with high energy breeds! I have extensive experience fostering and previously worked at a small animal emergency and specialty hospital. I work from home! When I leave for any errands I can crate if needed or leave them out with my dog if they are used to that. I have a fenced back yard and the border of the 5.5 acres is all fully fenced. I have crates, dog beds and plenty of toys but you’re welcome to bring your own!

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.
