“Lauren is fantastic! She is so professional, sweet with Mack and a fabulous communicator! We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!”
“She was so easy to communicate with and so kind! She was timely and did such a good job taking care of our guinea pigs, even with all the moving parts they require. We got the cutest pictures of them, too! Highly recommend for any animal need you have.”
“Karen was a lifesaver on a recent last minute spring vacation. I even messed up one full day when booking, and she was incredibly understanding and helpful. I’m new to Rover and have a pack of four dogs (a Yorkie Poo, English Retreiver, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and a Pitt). Karen came by, met my babies, and agreed to take care of them. She is absolutely lovely. She updated me every time she stopped by and made sure I knew the dogs were doing well. She was always on time and even picked up after them when needed (kid lost a stuffy) Thank you Karen, for keeping my babies safe and well cared for.”
“Anna is a stand out dog sitter! She is always on time and great with communication. She is accommodating and amazing with our dogs, even though they’re a bit rowdy!”
“She was absolutely amazing! She was so loving and kind, going the extra mile for my animals. She sent me lots of pictures. I don’t even think my dogs missed me. 😂”
“Madison was absolutely amazing with our 11 year old pitbull! She truly went above and beyond to spend quality time with her and provided us with daily updates and pictures. I cant say enough great things about her service!”
“Gage did a great job for us watching our two dogs. He was there for all the scheduled times and did a fantastic job giving them their meds and getting them to eat. I would recommend Gage to anyone and plan on using him again each time we need a dog sitter.”
About: Hello, my name is Carson! I bring 2.5 years of hands-on experience working in a professional boarding facility, plus 8 years of private pet sitting. I currently work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, making me the perfect fit for dedicated overnight house sitting, early morning walks, and evening/weekend care. Because of my kennel background, I am trained in reading dog behavior, managing multi-dog households, and safely administering medications while keeping your home structured and safe I work a traditional 9-to-5 job Monday through Friday, which makes my schedule perfectly tailored for dedicated overnight house sitting where your dog gets undivided attention all evening and night. I am also fully available for drop-ins and walks early in the morning before work, anytime after 5:30 PM on weeknights, and completely open all day on weekends. I always put safety first, but I prefer to keep things relaxed and low-stress for your pup. Having spent a few years working in a boarding facility, I am really comfortable reading dog body language and knowing how to handle different temperaments or unexpected situations calmly. I treat every home I visit with a ton of respect, and since I work a steady 9-to-5, my routine is super predictable. I stick strictly to whatever feeding, medication, or locking routines you already have in place so your dog's schedule doesn't skip a beat.
“Amber and Ryan are so great with my pup! They always send updates and all the pictures. I will continue to use them and I definitely recommend them to anyone in need of doggy care!! 😊”
“Second time with Stephen & we will continue to request him. He loves dogs and you can tell. Responsive & checks in with pictures every time he did a drop in. Thank you Stephen!!!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and helped friends and family take care of their pets. I house-sat throughout college. And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation. I’ve looked after a variety of dogs, large dogs (Rottweiler and Goldens) and small (Yorkies and other terriers). I love them all. I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home growing up, I even trained my family’s current household dog, a German Shepherd, when she was a puppy. I have experience pet sitting all shapes and sizes of dogs but have more experience in medium-large sized breeds, I love them all! I’m currently not working as I’m finishing up my EMT academy/certification while also in school full time. I’m using this as income for the time being. Unfortunately with my grumpy cat I am not able to board pets in my home but am more than willing to stop by and visit your fur baby when needed!
About: I have had dogs since I was a young kid and now have one of my own. Over the years I have trained her to do some tricks (minimal!) and she is a very well behaved dog. I have a remote-work schedule leaving flexibility to walk, play, cuddle, and care for your dog. This schedule leaves extra time in my routine to care for another animal and share the love I have for animals. I’m currently working remotely and have time throughout my day to check in on your pet. I am available to come anytime throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex so have the common spaces to walk your dog throughout. I will follow any instructions you provide me for where your pet feels most comfortable in your home/neighborhood.
“Ashtyn did so well with my puppy Blazer and kitties Choco, Kimchi, and Cider. I had to be away for 2 weeks apartment hunting, and was afraid Blazer wouldn't do well. As soon as she met him they were friends, and I felt so much better about chosing Ashtyn. She took so many adorable pet photos and even cared for the outdoor kitty Cider that I feed with her scabby ears at the time. The pets seemed to really love Ashtyn, as she treated them all like her own. Ashtyn even cleaned up when Blazer freaked out and made a mess in the kitchen and ate pillows...she really kept me updated on everything. I definitely 100 percent recommend Ashtyn for Rover sitting. She's compassionate, thoughtful, caring, and really has a heart for animals. 5 stars!!!”
“Briana was so great. She kept us informed of everything going on with our pups. And she sent pictures every visit. They got extra treats (per my request) and wanted for nothing while we were away (7 days). We really enjoyed meeting w Briana before our trip. She'd be a perfect match for anyone needing a long term sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life from my own pets, family members, neighbors, and hired clients. All of which have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pets. I am also very experienced in caring for senior dogs and giving medications. Although I love senior dogs I am also experienced in taking care of cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. As a college student majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science at the University of Maine, I have a passion for caring for animals. I will be home for the summer and am available all week to provide pet care services. I understand the importance of flexibility and am willing to accommodate early morning and late-night visits to ensure the comfort of your pet. Your furry friend's well-being is my top priority! I have a set schedule in my own home to care for my two very different dogs with different feeding time and walk schedules. I am dedicated to completing the task clients leave me with but I also like to put in extra effort to make sure the pet feels as comfortable as possible.

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.
