About: I grew up with a dog and have my own now. Over the past 5 years or so I have taken care of family and friends dogs in home. My dog is a very friendly lab who wants to be buddies with everyone. He loves having his friends over for these play dates and misses them when they go. I currently have 7 different dogs that I get the privilege of taking care of throughout the year. I hope your dog becomes one of our furry friends as well! I take care of every pet as if they were my own. I am able to come home at lunch (around 11:00) to let out and play with my dog. My work day ends at 4:00 so I have evenings free for puppy play time. I do not work on the weekends and am able to board any day of the week. I have a large fenced in yard with many sticks to chew and sniffs to smell. There are also some squirrels that come by every so often to play chase. In my home I have a mud room that is fence off as my "dog room". When taking care of other pets I have them eat and sleep in this room so that they can enjoy their own space to relax. My dog Henry is a 5 year old lab who loves to play and meet new friends. The great thing about that is there is TONS of supervised puppy play time that tires them out. When the dogs are together they will always be supervised and given space away from each other as well.
“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”
“Tyrone did drop in visits to take care of my cat. He did a good job, sent me photos of my pet from the visit, and checked in & out for his visit. He even brought in my mail while I was gone! I recommend Tyrone”
“Trudy was timely and professional, spent time playing with/petting my cats while I was away! It is nice to have somebody give them human interaction rather than a stop and go. Would book again!”
About: I’m an almost empty nester who truly loves animals and am looking to fill my time doing something meaningful—caring for pets. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide house sitting, dog walking or drop-in visits as needed. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats. Because of that background, I’m comfortable with both small and large animals and understand that each one has its own personality and needs. I’m also a former travel club ball mom, so I completely understand how stressful it can be to make arrangements for your pets and home while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone reliable, communicative, and trustworthy taking care of your home and/ or pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I can also bring in mail and water plants while you are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide regular care throughout the day. I’m able to offer in-home pet and house sitting or flexible drop-in visits while keeping pets on their normal routines and not left alone for long periods of time. I can care for smaller caged pets in my home but will care for dogs, cats etc in your home because I have pets of my own.
“Elain arrived promptly for the bathing and grooming appointment for my dog. She was very calm, confident, comfortable and and efficient with the bathing and blow dry. I will definitely continue to have her come regularly to bath and groom my long haired dogs. Highly recommended!”
“Zuri communicated about how our pup was doing. She gave a detailed report of all that they did and even sent photos. Her visit put us at ease and allowed us to be away for the day. Our pup is a high energy girl, but Zuri got along well with her!”
“I cannot recommend Amanda more. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She goes above and beyond with her care. My cat Marge loved having her over to visit and was always cuddly and super excited to see her. Amanda was very accommodating and made sure Marge was getting the best care. She went out of her way to do different tasks and extra things for my cat even when we didn’t ask. Will definitely have Amanda back when we need care for our cat again. Amanda you’re the best!”
“Cheyenne was awesome! She took great care of our babies and gave wonderful updates and communication was great. We were away for over two weeks and she did a great job keeping the boys happy! We even had to work through an issue with our door and with us being on a cruise we were hard to get a home of. She communicated with my family member in town to get the issue resolved. I don’t want to leave the boys again, but if we do, we for sure will reach out to her again!”
“a wonderful sitter with a great amount of care put into her work! followed care instructions perfectly. would leave my baby in her care again! good picture updates and detailed notes were left for every visit.”
About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.
About: Since growing up, I have always lived in a household with at least one pet. As I grew older I gave them care and love, and now my brother often asks me to care for his cat. I work usually 20-40 hours a week, and have every night after 4pm off! Every other weekend I am free completely to look after furry ones. I make sure it’s a clean, and a comfortable environment for the animal(s). They are always fed, looked after, and the environment they are in is clean and safe!
About: Hi, I'm Lori! I have been involved in animal rescue & pet sitting for many years. I've always had pets of my own as far back as I can remember. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. Senior pets are my weakness, but I'm not picky- I've even sat for a pig! Trusting your pet's care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is flexible! Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! Feel free to shoot me a message! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. Rescue work exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities; giving me invaluable experience. I will care for your pet and home like it's my own.
About: I am currently a licensed veterinary technician! I have always grown up owning pets (mainly cats), but I currently have 2 cats. I am an experienced pet owner. I have dog sit in the past and am able to work with many different breeds and temperaments. I am able to make stops before work, during my lunches, and after work. This generally consists of 6 am, 11-12, and sometime after 6pm. I take care of all of my pets according to their needs. It is based of their species, breed, and age requirements. Their dietary needs and supplements are always up to par for what they need to strive

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
