“Cailin was exceptional with my two large dogs and very punctual. She bonded and played with my dogs the same as they accustomed to when we’re home. She even proactively communicated on my cat and took care of a mess my GSD made !”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I got my dog in college and have been dedicated to his care no matter what. Through moves and full time jobs, he has always been #1. He is a senior now and needs a little extra attention in regards to mobility, so I am comfortable with that. When he was younger he had BOUNDLESS energy as well and was eager to please. I’ve seen both sides and love them and all the traits in between Pet care is a 24/7 deal. They give us unconditional love so we should always be dedicating ourselves to the same. Daily walks, exercise and for sniffing are both beneficial and also just someone to sit by and patrol the neighborhood I care for pets how their owners would because that’s what will make the dog the most comfortable with a new person in their environment. I will always follow the clients routines and expectations
“Alexa was so amazing with Macie. She spent a lot of time with her on each visit and we got pictures of Macie with each visit. It's so nice to know that our Macie was so well loved while we were away. I will be booking with Alexa again and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
About: I have experience with taking care of friends and families pets, keeping things cleaned and on the correct feeding schedule. I was a bather at a dog grooming salon for the last 3 years where we specialized in aggressive and senior dogs. So I have experience with handling all personality types and dealing with them in a safe manner. I can trim nails and polish them as well as bathe and dry a dog. As of right now I am doing this full time so I have plenty of time to care for other people's pets. I have a set schedule on here to try and keep things organized but it never hurts to ask if I'm willing to do another day. I currently don't have the space to have someone else's pet at my home as it's a small space with 2 cats already but will respect the rules of the clients home and ensure their pet stays safely on their property or when we go on walks.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. My passion began as a child with my poodle, Annie, and grew through my teen year with my pomeranian affectionately known as Cupcake. Those early bonds taught me what a dog needs most: patience, play, and tons of affection. Having spent years pet-sitting for friends and neighbors, I’m excited to bring that same family style care to your pups! Whether your dog is a high energy pup or a mellow gentle giant, I’ll tailor every visit to their specific needs. Looking forward to some new furry friends! 🐶 I’m currently home during the day as a new mom and would love to spend some of that time walking or checking in on your furry friends! I’m available anytime except 3-8pm on weekdays and I have full availability Friday through Sunday. I sometimes bring my baby along in a carrier, so your pet does need to be okay with small humans. I'm a lifelong pet lover and can't wait to meet your four legged family members! I am highly attentive to instructions and deeply respectful of your home and privacy. While I absolutely love the joy that comes with pet sitting, I recognize the level of responsibility it requires. I don't take your trust lightly; your pet will receive the highest quality of care and will be treated with the same love and devotion I give my own animals. I know how much you miss your furry family members while you're away! To give you peace of mind, I provide frequent photos during every visit. Unless you prefer fewer notifications, you can expect plenty of updates so you can see exactly how much fun we’re having and rest easy knowing they are in great hands. My goal is to keep you in the loop on all our adventures, ensuring you feel connected even when you’re apart.
“Janice has been the best pet sitter we could hope for to check in on our kitties when we're out of town. She's responsible, kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy. She sends thorough updates and lots of photos. She's the best!”
“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Hazel while I was out of town. Hazel has several specific needs, like medicine, special feeding instructions, and grooming needs, and Emma handled her complexity with care. She sent daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind to know Hazel was being looked after during a stressful time. Emma absolutely came through for us and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve cared for many types of animals of different shapes and sizes in various animal shelter, grooming, and veterinary settings. From pets, to livestock, and exotic reptiles. I’m currently a veterinary technician student as well. Your Companion deserves Time, Love, and Care and my purpose in life is to provide them that. I’m very passionate about this line of work. As a current full time Remote Veterinary student, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available 5 days week in the mornings and afternoons. When I care for your pet in your home my routine is to treat them like family and your home like a sacred space. I am more than willing to respect all boundaries put in place in order to do my job properly. I am a helicopter pet parent so your little guy or gal is safe with me.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced pet sitter who truly loves what I do. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and routines—from high-energy pups to laid-back seniors. I offer both in-home overnight stays and drop-in visits, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also very respectful of your home and will leave everything clean and just as you left it. My goal is simple: happy pets and your peace of mind! I currently work 3 mornings a week and there is always someone home when I am away. Your pet would be able to freely move about the house at all times unless you request they be crated. We have a fenced yard with a pool that has a secondary fence around it to keep your pet safe. I am able to follow your instructions for care and to provide a fun and safe experience for your pet.
About: I treat every dog like family. With experience in both puppy training and senior dog care, I understand the unique needs of dogs at every life stage. Whether its providing gentle, attentive care to older dogs with mobility or medication needs, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. I'm also comfortable with administering meds, following special diets, and offering enrichment activities to keep dogs happy and healthy while you're away. As a part-time worker and nursing student, I’ve built a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Caring for animals is not only a great balance to my busy routine it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or weekend stays, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. My background in nursing also helps me stay calm, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s health and behavior. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or just relaxing together. I’m respectful of your space and always leave it clean and tidy. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets personalized attention. I keep a consistent schedule, maintain a clean space, and give pets lots of affection and enrichment throughout the day.
“Constance did a great job with my senior cat. She’s on multiple medications and supplements. She had no problem giving her pills which is a huge relief. My girl got lots of extra love and pets while I was gone.”
“Gabriel was attentive, caring and wonderful with our pets. He was reliable and we will definitely be using him again. We loved seeing the updates. The pets loved him too! Thanks for all your help!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I grew up taking care of them, volunteering at animal shelters and helping neighbors with their pets when they were out of town. I will treat your pet just like my own and I can’t wait to meet them! :) I am available during the week Monday through Friday during the summer! I am able to make a quick stop in or take your pet for a walk! I will walk and play with your pets so that they get a break during the day! I can also feed them and give them water if needed.
About: I am a responsible mom of kids and animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. From a young age, I have had many pets, worked in a vet office and volunteered at an animal shelter.

We take our dogs camping, hiking, and kayaking and they love it. I am a homeschool mom of teenagers. This means I am flexible on my time and availability. We are home a lot, so your pets are not left alone long. I have a fenced-in yard, and I can attend to almost anything your pets would need or the client would like me to do to care for their pet.

This was our first time ever using Rover and we were a little hesitant with having someone come into the house to care for our furbabies (2 cats) while we were on vacation. Enter in Kelsey! She was great! Kelsey showed up, took photos, and communicated greatly. We never had to worry at all while on vacation. I would definitely be booking Kelsey again for our next vacation to watch after our furbabies.
Cheryl was incredible!! She took great care of my dogs, as well as my house. She even brought my packages inside for me. She was very communicative and easy to get ahold of. 10/10 would recommend and definitely will be using her again for our pet care needs. My dogs loved her and she was very attentive to their needs. Thank you Cheryl!
Paige was so kind & very patient with my cat ! She made sure she had plenty of water & food every day! Even though my cat was very shy, she tried to give her love & attention in little ways. She sent me pics every day & was very responsive. She helped out with little tasks around the house too. Thank you Paige for taking care of my girl!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hamilton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
