“She was so good! Sent great pictures and my Sage looked so happy! I will definitely be using her again as she is very reliable and trustworthy in my home when I am not there.”
“Catie is always great! She is fantastic with communication. She is always on time and Sammy looks forward to his walks. I trust her 100% with my little boy and never have to worry.”
“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Leaving being my pets to go across the world was a very nerve wracking thought. But thankfully I found Angela here on rover because leaving all three of my babies with her was not even an issue. I got constant updates through messages and pictures. She met with the dogs twice before my trip seeing as one of the dogs needed some extra time to get used to her. If my finicky little pup can live Angela, then any dog or cat would love her too. You’d be in good hands trusting Angela with your pets and I know when i need a sitter for the animals, I’ll be using Angela :)”

“Sarah was great and the pups loved playing with their new friend! She was prompt with the requested visit times and helped with cleaning up a few messes that they made. I'm not sure who had more fun, Sarah or the mutts!”
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved animals. Whenever I could, I've always taken up a job where I can pet sit and take care of animals. I'm always researching about dogs, cats, and other pets to keep my knowledge up to date. I've even taken care of stray and hurt cats, rehoming them. Currently available to take care of any pet at any time 24/7. Need to find your sitter that day? I'm the one to reach out to. I'll follow any instruction that is needed of me from the client. I'll make sure to give your pet plenty of love and all the care that is needed.
“Elise did a great job taking care of my two cats! She is responsive, reliable and made sure both my cats (Who are usually very timid around new people) felt safe and comfortable”
“Sarah was AMAZING with our 2 year old Rottie mix and our 6 year old pug mix. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and went above and beyond taking care of our boys while my husband and I were away:)”
About: As of this time, I am only open for, dog walking, drop ins, etc. i will give your furry friend all the care it needs. I am a dog trainer with alot of knowledge into special needs, medication, etc. if you need it i probably got it for you! Sadly it has come to the point i must add this. Please respond to me after i send you a response on your request. I understand if you have to figure things out. But i shouldn’t be figuring out whether you want to book or not on the day of just because you don't feel like texting back. From This point on after 48 hours of no response the request will be archived. I apologize for any inconvenience but it makes if difficult to know how many spots i have or to know if i can accommodate another dog. I work from home as a dog trainer. I absolutely adore working with different dog breeds and getting to learn more about body language and the different styles of play and communication between each ones. Im always happy to take care of your furry friend and give them the love and care that they deserve while you are out of town or just need a break from them. I would like to make it clear that our texting hours are between 9am-9pm. Before or after that you will receive a text message the next morning after 9. Updates are usually given every other night around last potty time and are sent with pics/vids as well as a brief written update of how it is going. Occasionally i will send more updates if they are doing something really cute. Due to the amount of times this has happened. I will be adding a $5 late fee once an hour has passed from pickup without communication. Communicating is one thing just not picking up your dog is another. I have both dogs and cats at our house. I am well versed at making sure everyone gets along and separating those who don’t. If you have a dog that doesn’t do well with other dogs never fear, they can have their own area to get away from our pets or other rover dogs.
“Tricia took such wonderful care of my two cats while I was out of town for a week. One of my cats was sick and she did an amazing job keeping up with all of her daily meds. My kitties warmed up to her quickly, even my shy girl. Will absolutely be booking with Tricia again in the future :)”

“Amanda is great! Prior to our first appointment she met me for a Meet and Greet to go over our routine with my dog Dottie. For our scheduled drop-in Amanda was on time, followed our routine, sent pics and spent time with Dottie. We will definitely use Amanda again in the future.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Had to work a long shift and Sharonda came with very little heads up and took amazing care of my puppy. She was very kind and sent updates! Would encourage anyone to use her she is great!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gum Tree
Catie took care of our cats while we were away to get married. She was great at communicating, while also making me feel relaxed during a stressful time. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad our first time was with Catie. Our cats are our babies and we felt like they were safe and happy when she was with them.

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.
