“Absolutely amazing experience! She took such great care of my dog and treated her like her own even when moonlight was a little shy at first. I was so nervous at first as I had never had to leave my dog alone before but bunny kept me updated, was very attentive to moonlight’s needs, and made the whole experience stress-free. After the first interaction I felt completely at ease knowing that my pup was in such loving and responsible hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“What a wonderful experience! Melissa is very attentive and keeps in great communication. She goes above and beyond for sure. My girl Zoey is very skiddish around new people, but took right to Melissa letting her pet her backside, which normally Zoey freaks out about around new people. I highly recommend Melissa and will be having her give love to our pup again.”
“Jeanice was wonderful with my 4 cats, she got to know them by name, gave medications and fed my cats for over a week. I highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs! I will use her again! Thanks Jeanice!”
About: Hi! I’m Margot, a dependable animal lover based in Vero Beach. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry family!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and am now 19, giving me several years of hands-on experience. I have provided trusted care for dogs of neighbors and close friends, always focusing on safety, comfort, and individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure owners feel at ease by giving regular updates, photos, and clear communication. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners feel happy and stress-free. I am regularly available and have a very flexible schedule. As an online college student, I am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I also have my own reliable transportation, allowing me to easily travel for drop-ins, walks, or sitting. My flexible availability helps ensure pets receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. I provide attentive, respectful care in your pet’s own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you are away, while also keeping your home clean and secure. Regular updates and photos are always provided so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I love. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an active pup, sticking to a feeding routine, or offering extra cuddles and reassurance, I’m dedicated to providing dependable, loving care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention into my day comes easily. I have a full-time job but allows rushes home to provide dependable care and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while giving pet parents peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
About: Have had animals in my life since I was a baby, ranging from dogs to hamsters to birds and many cats. Fostered kittens in college with my best friend and volunteered at HALO in high school, would love to be around animals again! I currently work full-time from Tues-Fri but have my weekends free and typically evenings! I’m a big time reader, so even if i’m stopping in to give them some company it’s no problem, I’ve got a book I can get lost in with some company. I typically will not be able to house any pets currently but am more than happy to come by your place to keep them comfortable in their space.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 3 cats in my childhood home. I have one old boy left from then, and I still help out in his senior years. I have groomed those three at home, and since moving into my own house, I dog sit small-large sized dogs, both in my own home and in clients homes. I regularly brush the dog’s teeth, trim nails, bathe, and brush their overcoat. I also take care of the grooming for my own two cats. I’ve grown up around all different types of animals, so I’m ready for any specific needs your pets have. I’m currently unemployed and dog sitting to make money, so I am free at all times of the day and night to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but that’s no problem because I do not mind a little outside time to take them outside on the leash. I have a park down the street that I walk the dogs to so they can sniff around and stretch their legs. I can also do any extra food care, brushing, bathing, medication, or any needs you have from me. I can fit a crate if needed, but I don’t require any kind of crate.
About: I don’t just watch dogs—I engage with them. I have a passion for training, so I naturally reinforce good behavior, structure, and basic commands while I’m with your dog. I’m patient and attentive, whether I’m working with a young dog building habits or a senior dog who needs a calm, gentle approach. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and more balanced when you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my schedule so I can give each pet my full attention during visits or stays, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home by keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their established routine closely and pay attention to their comfort, body language, and behavior. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not alone, while also keeping the home tidy and respected at all times.
About: I'm home 22 out of 24 hours in the day. I've had at least 4 pets at all times for as long as I can remember. From dogs, to cats, bantam chickens, lop-eared and Angora bunnies, hamsters, African frogs, turtles, to my sweet potbelly pig, Carnita ("Nita"). Life feels fullest when animals are part of my daily routine. Recently, my Nita unexpectedly passed away (10/26/23). She was like a child to me. Although she left behind 1 dog and 2 cats, the house feels much emptier. Buddy, the dog, says he'd love some company to pick up the mood & keep his heart young. 😌 *In effort to maintain a balanced environment, I require a two (2) night minimum for boarding (2 day min. for daycare)* I work from home; I have plenty of time in-between Zoom calls to love on and attend to your little darlings. Permitting I have a few days notice, I will gladly care for yours during the week & on weekends too. I live in a small gated community in Vero Beach. My yard is not fenced; however, I can/do leash them up as often as needed for potty breaks and longer walks 1-2x daily (anywhere from 1.5-4 miles each go). I run too. My own dog is a little beyond his running days, so I use a jogger. Depending on your pup's activity level, they could run alongside me, or possibly hitch a ride in the stroller! In Your Home (house sitting or drop ins): I am happy to abide by your current schedule, making the transition of your trip easy on your fur babies. I am also resourceful, and will find the best outdoor fun for them, in the case that they need some fun distractions to tire them out!

I’m currently an online student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week.

Jean was terrific! She took care of our two cats while we were travelling. Jean kept me updated on each visit and sent photos. All was well and in good order when we returned home. It was comforting to know that our cats were well cared for and felt comfortable with Jean while we were away. I am so happy to have found 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.
