“Nina has been so helpful for my boys! She is always on time, gives them love and attention, and sends lots of good updates and pictures. She is able to handle medications no prob.”
About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.
“Mishel is always so attentive to my kittens and gives them a lot of time and love. I love all her extra photos and have been rebooking her consistently for a while now!”
“Heather was wonderful with our little Kwazzi. This was Kwazzi’s first time being tended by a “stranger” and she absolutely loved it. Heather was prompt and very professional, we would recommend her in a minute.”
“Melina did a great job keeping Rosie company while I had to travel out of town for work. She is dependable and took great care of my dog. I would absolutely have her back.”
“Ryan is the best! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures while we’re away. We always feel safe and comfortable with him watching our fur kids. Thanks Ryan!”
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
“Sthefany and Jeshael watched my dog the last couple of days. Prior to the drop in visits we did a meet and greet. Both girls are so sweet!! My dog is very shy and they were so patient with her. She eventually warmed up! They seem very knowledgeable about dog sitting. I have already booked them for future visits.”
“Brittany was so great! I was nervous about being away from my cat for the first time but she made the experience so relieving. She made sure to give me updates with pictures each visit and was super sweet. Extremely responsive and responsible; I’ll definitely be trusting her with my animals again! 😊”
“Casey did a great job caring for our kittens! She came over before we left and you could immediately tell she loves cats and can read their body language. She sent many pictures of them playing and interacting with her, and cleaned up after one of them threw up. We would recommend Casey and would have her watch our cats again!”
“Looking forward to asking Donald to watch my cat again! Donald is friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. My very shy cat was very comfortable around him.”
“Kathleen really helped us out last-minute by stopping by twice to check on our senior dog and help him get outside to go potty while we were gone for 11 hours. We came home to a happy dog and zero accidents in the house. She was communicative and flexible in coordinating timing.”
“Jessica was a wonderful caretaker for my aging Newfoundland and my Newfoundland puppy. She was very responsive and communicative, and a very pleasant person to work with. I would definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
My cat is 18 years old and needs medication. I was worried about leaving him even for three nights. Andrew came twice a day to feed, water, medicate and check on him, including cleaning the litter box. He even brought in a package and watered outdoor plants. Will definitely use him again!
We had a last-minute change of plans and Kayla kindly agreed to take care of our cats on very short notice. We’re so so grateful for this! Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our kitties and followed all our instructions perfectly. When we got home, everything was just as we left it, without any new mess.
Picking Emily, was the right decision. She was very communicative, punctual, and most importantly took care of Elliott while we were away. Typically when we come home from a trip, Elliott is very displeased. However, this time was different. He greeted us, as a way to tell us “thank you, I was taken care of”. We will definitely reach out to Emily for our next visit.

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.
