âWe were gone for 3 weeks, and Amanda handled everything for our 4 kitties so well! We got so many great photos and plenty of reports. One of our pets ate something she shouldn't, and Amanda ended up taking her to an emergency vet and spending half the night there with her. She was calm and professional, helping us work with the vet and reach a successful, healthy outcome. It was a real comfort to know she was caring for Jovie, Arlo, Luna, and Mama Kitty.â
âOur cats loved her and she took extra time to water my garden for me as well. I could tell from our meet and greet she was a very sweet person that knew animals well and would treat them like her own. Thanks!â
âClowee is the best!! Sheâs always accommodating when I need her to let my pup out. She keeps me updated, and always makes sure he gets his walks in! I really appreciate how reliable and caring she isđĽ°â
About: I'm the kind of person that can get the jobs done, even the dirtier ones! I have experience with handling feeder insects as well without any problems! I currently have a wide open schedule, and as such I am available for you and your companions at any and all times when it comes to scheduling! I will follow your set instructions to a tee, and I will always handle safety measures myself in ways that keep stress and harm for any and all animals minimal to none. I will triple check each and every safety concern (fragile items, doors locked, etc.) as part of my routine.
About: I have been in love with cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up with 2 cats and 1 dog in my household as well as chickens, a bearded dragon, a turtle, fish, guinea pig, and a rabbit! Currently I have no animals but I still have the same amount of love for them! I have taken care of my friends and families animals and Iâm always happy to meet some new animal friends!! đ I am currently a musician part time which means my schedule is flexible and Iâm happy to visit your animals whenever is best for their schedule! I will happily send you picture and video updates for your animals! I love to play with them using their favorite toys and donât mind spending some extra time for some snuggle sessions while Iâm there :) I am a musician which means work comes and goes and I make my own schedule so I am extremely flexible and happy to visit whenever! We always had an "electric" fence for our dog which would gently vibrate her collar if she got out of the boundary. She was well trained and very attentive. Our cats were indoor cats and we made sure they knew they shouldn't try and get outside or on counters. The chickens and rabbit were fenced in outside in a giant chicken coop and since I was handling animals at a young age I am very familiar with how to gently care for them.
About: Iâve been training dogs of all ages and breeds for over 30 years. I specialize in shy and fearful dogs and dogs who need to burn off mental energy. I am available during the day on weekdays and occasional evenings. Focused attention on making individualized plans for your pets unique situations that increases the canine human bond. All training is done at your home or a pet friendly business or area with your dogs well being an absolute priority. Martingale collars are the preferred method to keep your pup safe
About: I have been in the animal care taking field for about 5 years now. I went to school to get my vet tech degree as well as working with rescues for the last 3 years. I am currently going back to school to earn my BA in wildlife conservation. I currently work part-time as a daycare teacher and the rest of my time is dedicated to the animals in my care! I'm currently a foster / volunteer for Pet Pack Rescue Initiative. We have our own building which is dedicated to all of our boarding / daycare clients! We have a large playroom and two separate kennel rooms, which ensure the safety of keeping dogs separate if needed! We have staff here 7 days a week / 24 hours a day, so your pup will never be left unattended. We have our own office space that is dedicated to our fosters and pet sitting clients, we have a fenced in dog run on the side of our building (that is shaded) and gives the perfect space for your fur babies to run, play and enjoy the outdoors. We also have three separate rooms inside set up with kennels and toys! Our separate kennel rooms ensure the safety of everyone's fur babies! We also have staff on the premises 7 days a week, 24 hours a day so your fur babies will never be left unattended.
About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I have a special place in my heart for all of them. I currently share my home with one Great Dane and four kitties (all rescues!) I am here to help on weekday evenings, holidays, and weekends. My home has a dedicated room for cat boarding and my goal is to be safely equipped for dogs soon! I have house sat for many families and their pets throughout my life, have volunteered at and donated to local shelters, and have been a contributing member of the ASPCA and WWF for 10+ years. A âfun factâ about me is that I was featured in the National Geographic World magazine in 1999 for raising money and awareness about both local and national animal welfare needs 𩷠I work approximately 15 minutes from my home and utilize lunchtime (NLT 12:00 PM) to check on the pets. My schedule is typically Monday-Friday one week then Monday-Thursday the next week (alternating) and am home by 4:15 PM each day. I work two weekends out of every three month period and have all federal holidays off. My home has a small bedroom that is set up for cats đ to enjoy, with more to come. Their room includes a scratching post seated under a window, tons of toys, and an automatic litter box connected to my phone so that I can always monitor it (two large stainless steel litter boxes or a Breeze pellet system are also available, if preferred). There is also a camera in your room for an extra set of eyes! You will have stainless steel food, drinking fountain (stainless steal bowls available, if preferred), a large pet bed, soft blankets , treats - only if allowed - and plenty of other options depending on your kittyâs needs and preferences. My cats have their own spacious, separate area set up downstairs. They are all friendly, altered, and vaccinated (records available upon request). My dog đś is house trained and vaccinated as well. Though he loves everyone, especially kitties, your fur baby will stay in their own room for everyoneâs safety and comfort. Floors, litter boxes, and food/water bowls are sanitized daily. The closest vet is approximately 15 minutes away and the Peoria County emergency vet is around 25 minutes from my home. I am happy to provide additional information, photos, and references upon request.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
