About: I work at a doggy daycare! I work with all different size dogs and I also have three animals of my own! I love animals soo much and will love them just like you do! I work Monday through Friday, I can do early morning before 745am and evenings after 7pm. I have weekends free. So I can do drops in anytime of day. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have someone to hang out with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and getting lots of love.
“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”

“Sierra did an amazing job of watching our fur babies while we were away. She eased our anxieties and sent us updates when she would check in. Sierra was patient with our pups and we couldn’t have asked for things to go any smoother. We will definitely be rebooking with Sierra anytime we need a pet sitter.”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire adult life and after changing careers I decided to pursue something that makes me enjoy my work. I spent several years volunteering for a local shelter dealing with situations that included large and small breed dogs. Recently (the last 4 years) I've opened my home mostly to short term fosters that need a temporary place before finding forever families. This process has given my ample experience in home settings where I'm now extremely comfortable interacting with animals unfamiliar with me or a new environment. I can provide Play Time, Walking, Park Trips, Long Distance Day Trips, Feeding, and even Poo Removal. I'm new to Rover but you won't find someone with more practical experience and passion than myself so please get in contact if you would like to meet ! Currently I'm working part-time so my schedule is typically open 5 days a week but I'm sure arrangements can be made depending on the situation. I have a large fenced yard and three friendly dogs of my own to keep visitors company. If you require in home care I will treat your property as if it was my own.
“Stevie was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. She took great care in walking them, feeding them, and making sure they felt happy and comfortable. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such kind and capable hands.”

“Highly recommend Audra! Very sweet and attentive to our cats. She even brought our packages in and watered our plants while we were alway. Thank you so much for taking care and picking up after our cats.”

“Danielle was an amazing pet sitter for our cats during our 5-day trip. She kept us updated with daily messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were happy, well-fed, and relaxed when we got back, and it was clear that Danielle took great care of them. Highly recommend her services—she's reliable, communicative, and wonderful with pets! Thank you, Danielle!”

“We appreciate Randee's excellent care of our three cats! She was fantastic and we will definitely invite her back. Not only were our cats very relaxed when we got home, it was obvious that Randee took excellent care of our home as well. Randee's communication while we were away certainly gave us a sense of peace knowing that our fur babies were in her good hands. She is a wonderful person, very caring and professional. I recommend her without hesitation!!”

About: I love dogs and owning 2 has inspired me to work with more. I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as a Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized institution. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and a professional understanding of canine behavior. My certification and skills will ensure your dog is in good hands. I am available 7 days a week because I own 2 dogs of my own and I also work from home. Availability may vary during holidays. For boarding and daycare clients must be crate trained to ensure the safety of everyone. Facilities include an outdoor run that is turfed and equipped with showers to keep clean and a misting fan system for hot days, along with an assortment of chew toys and snacks and elevated beds. All clients sleep indoors in an air conditioned room.
“Belinda cared so lovingly for my cat. I usually feel worried about leaving her home alone. This time I didn’t feel like that because I knew she was in good hands and getting excellent care during my trip. I would definitely book with Belinda again.”

“Kimberly is very responsible and trustworthy and thoughtful!!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!! Our two kitties warmed right up to her. She sent us lots of great pictures and updates. We will definitely use Kimberly next time.”
About: Animals are a passion of mine, I pride myself on providing the utmost care for my pets and am eager to provide the same care for anyone who is in need of help! I work nights currently, allowing me to fit in late night walks and early morning outings. My schedule allows me to provide extra care on overnight assignments as while they sleep I'm able to provide an attentive eye throughout the night. I am well versed in pet experience, as I have three little dogs I love dearly. I am always extending that same passion for all pets, as I feel they're just as much apart of the family. I'm very attentive and particular, so any deviation from listed behavior would definitely be something I notice.

About: I would be the perfect cat sitter because I believe every cat is perfect and has never done anything wrong ever! I’ve always had a preference towards cats since I was a little girl. I too have strong boundaries, make people earn my love, and hate loud noises! Please consider me when looking for a cat sitter. I would love to come over and watch your cat while they judge me in the corner the entire time! Jokes aside- I am honest, reliable, and respect animals deeply. Your kitty would be in great hands! I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible! Let me know what works with you, and I will try my best to make it happen. My shifts at my other job are never longer than 4-6 hours, so that is the longest I’d ever be away! I love structure. The more specific the better! This is your pet and I want to be you while you’re not there. Any feeding schedule, medication, and/or routine you need me to follow I would be more than happy to oblige!

I can also do evenings and morning drop ins or walks and my days off. We can work with my schedule easily. I won’t be able to have pets in my home because my dog is a rescue who needed to be the only dog in the household. In other peoples homes I go by whatever rules and wishes they have for me.

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.

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.
