About: I always take into account the priorities of the pet owner to ensure that I give the best care to their pets. I want to provide the best care for them so I ask detailed questions. That way the pets are getting the best care possible! I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so this will be my only other priority. I can be flexible as long as I have a day's worth of notice I ask detailed questions in order to ensure that I take care of the pets as per the owner's request. That way both of us are on the same page.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family and love to play, walk, feed or just hang out with them! I used to dog walk every week at a shelter growing up and had fun taking dogs of all size! I am currently in-between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I can be a sitter in your house if you need someone to feed and play with them or I can take them out on walks. My cat back home is super needy and always needs pets so I’m used to giving lots of love. I always attend to her needs and will do the same with your pets!
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I have hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and always take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and boundaries. I’ve also attended professional dog training classes with my own dog, which has given me a better understanding of canine behavior, safe handling, basic training techniques, and how to stay calm and respond appropriately in unexpected situations. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits. I follow care instructions closely and prioritize safety and clear communication at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training and reinforcement, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I’m patient with shy or cautious dogs and never force interactions before they’re comfortable. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend most of my week working from home. My mom is also home throughout the week, so there is almost always someone at home with the pets. I typically go into the office from around 9 AM to 4 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This means pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and can enjoy regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also do my best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routine so they can feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I share my home with a friendly neutered male cat and a small neutered male poodle. Both are accustomed to other animals. I provide a clean, comfortable home environment and have separate spaces available when pets need quiet time or a little space of their own. Safety is always my priority. I supervise interactions between pets, follow each owner’s instructions closely, and respect every dog’s individual routine and boundaries. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates throughout their stay.
“Karollyne follows instructions super well & is genuinely caring for my cats. When it was too cold and I had my window open, she closed it so that my kitties will not catch a cold. It’s the small details that matter! I would definitely book with her again.”
“We have Nicolle drop by 1-2x a week to let our dogs out for an afternoon break and play with them. She's great! The dogs love her and she's very flexible and easy to work with. Will definitely continue to have her drop in and would recommend her for others!”

About: Hi, I’m Aria✨ I’m a JC local who enjoys long walks at the park (with your dog). My love for animals started when I volunteered to dog-walk and help find dogs a home at an SPCA in Charleston, SC for 3 yrs. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs :) I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

Irisdelie is a wonderful pet sitter. I totally felt like my fur baby was in the most capable hands. She’s so attentive and took great care of my Jupiter, feeding, playing with her, giving her pets while I was away, taking great pictures, and leaving the best notes. I will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!
Absolute amazing! Super thoughtful in taking care of our cat in our absence😌Sent us tons of photos and videos by our requests to put our minds at ease. She also did great work in cleaning up when our cat makes a mess🥲 Would 100/100 recommend Junhui for our furry friend.
Irene did a great job caring for our cat George! This was our first time booking with her for a 5 day trip. George was comfortable with her and we had no issues. Irene was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and followed all of our instructions. We look forward to booking her again!

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.
