“We are so happy to have found Irina! She did a fantastic job taking care of our guinea pig and our home while we were away. Irina’s love for all animals shines through, and she was so warm and kind to our little one. We felt completely confident in her care. Irina even sent us daily videos so we could see how happy and comfortable our pet was. She went above and beyond. Thank you Irina!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of many of them. Happy to take young adults on tiring runs. Also enjoy a gentle walk with an old fella. Currently working on some entrepreneurial pursuits, which means my schedule is very flexible. With enough of a head up I can likely accommodate what ever needs you have. I happy to follow what ever boundaries are set for the care of your per. As well as follow any guidelines for care of your home.
“I couldn’t recommend Esmeralda more. She is excellent. She was able to accommodate my request last minute. She was able to befriend my very skittish cat. She was extremely reliable, flexible with my schedule and responsive.”


“Deborah is just simply the best. My cat Dusty was always happy to see her evidenced by the pictures Deborah sent me daily to make sure I could still see him. Highly recommend meeting Deborah, you can tell she loves what she does and treats your furry friends just the same as you would.”

“Lehna was amazing. She communicates in a timely manner and clearly loves pets. She took care of my two cats on short notice, and I've never felt more relaxed while away. She documented everything she did on each visit and shared photos. I highly recommend her.”

“Brittany is very dependable and reliable. Gave a thorough update, took lots of pictures and got my pups out for a walk. Very attentive to detail and most importantly the pups felt comfortable with her. Would book again & recommend!”

About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Currently available all day and can be available for evenings and/or overnights if needed. Starting in late August I will not be able to visit your pet between 8am-12:30pm as I am a part time preschool teacher. But I am more than happy to spend time with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, but they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.
“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”

“Our cat is very anxious and not easy to deal with, but Melissa put a lot of effort into building trust with him and making him feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciate her patience, attention and care!”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, I am a passionate and dedicated pet owner. My love for dogs extends beyond simply providing for their basic needs, as I regularly take them on hikes and runs to keep them active and engaged. Additionally, my military training experience has taught me discipline, attentiveness, and responsibility, all of which I apply to pet care. Whether it's administering medication or simply providing companionship, I approach pet care with the same level of commitment and focus as any other task. My goal is to ensure that every dog in my care receives the highest quality of attention and affection possible. As someone who works fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. I schedule regular walks, runs, and playtime with my furry friends throughout the day, ensuring they receive the exercise and attention they need. Whether it's taking a mid-day break for a game of fetch or incorporating a walk into my lunch break, I prioritize pet care as an essential part of my daily routine. My commitment to maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle for my pets allows me to provide the best possible care for them. I provide attentive, tailored care to pets in both my home and my client's home, depending on the service needed. Whether it's daily visits to feed, walk, and play with a pet in their home, or full-time boarding in my own home, I ensure that each animal receives the individual attention and care they require. From administering medication to adhering to specific dietary needs, I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care for every pet. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment where each animal can thrive and feel loved.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including Pomeranians, Jack Russell Terriers, German Shepherds, and mixed-breed dogs of all sizes. My experience ranges from energetic, high-drive breeds that need plenty of exercise and engagement to laid-back companions who prefer a slower pace. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply companionship, I provide patient, dependable care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I work full-time supporting adults with developmental disabilities, so reliability, patience, and attention to detail are part of my everyday life. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending my free time with animals. In addition to caring for dogs and cats throughout my life, I also have experience with small birds and bearded dragons. I am available afternoons, evenings, and weekends and will work to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules provided by owners. Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or during walks and visits. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide dependable communication and updates throughout each stay.
About: Dogs have had a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. Unable to have pets at home as a kid, I sought out opportunities to play with and care for dogs at a young age. Since then, I've... -had my own pets (yayyy!) -volunteered as a puppy foster mom -run large-scale fundraiser events for dog lovers + their dogs, benefiting local shelters -pet sit for 20+ years! (both in my home as well as the pet's home) I am truly comfortable and content with all dogs, from playful puppies and selective seniors, to doggos livin' large. I am happy to reinforce basic training and leash commands you are working on at home. I reward pawsitive behavior through affection, affirmation, and...treats!!! (where applicable of course - not for dogs on diets) :) Along with my 20+ years of experience in pet and house sitting, I have 10+ years of experience as a professional nanny and 2+ years of experience as a personal chef. I know how to treat others' homes, and loved ones, with respect, loving care, and confidentiality. I currently work from home, with flexibility to take breaks and walks throughout the day. I like to go on walks and hikes, and I’m happy to bring your dog along for the adventure if applicable. Health, safety, and happiness of your dog is my top priority. I want your doggie to live their best life while I am with them, and that means lots of love and adventuring (depending on your pup). If your dog is on the shy and/or anxious side, I provide space for them to come to me when the time is right. In an emergency, remaining calm, following procedure, and staying in good communication with you stays top of mind.
About: I know I have no experience with animals but I do want to learn because I love them and I’m thinking of being a vet in the future. I learn very quick, I’m very good at following instructions and making sure that everything is done correctly. I hope you give me a chance to prove to you that I can take care of your pet. I’m currently in college but on Tu/Th/Fri I’m free after 3pm and the rest of the days I am fully available and ready to take care of your pet(s). I’m also available in the weekends all day. I have parks near by that I can take your pet(s) to, I can feed them at home or outside, I will clean any area that requires it, and I don’t mind washing any pet(s) as well or doing anything else that my client may need.

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.
