“Lauren is fantastic! She is so professional, sweet with Mack and a fabulous communicator! We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I almost don't want to post this in hopes that I can keep Madison as our little secret, but SHE IS AMAZING! We constantly got photographs, videos, and her kind and caring nature kept us at peace knowing our doggies were in good hands. I would recommend Madison hands down and look forward to her helping us out again and again if she is available. Thank you Madison!”
“Mackenzie is always willing to work with us! We have a very chaotic schedule at the moment and so sometimes we think we need a sitter and then we don't. Other times we realize we need a sitter last minute. She has been spectacular and always sends us pictures.”
“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!”
“We love Amanda! You can tell how much she loves our little pup and sends the cutest updates on her while she visits. We’ve had her stay overnight as well as do drop ins and she’s sweet, professional, responsible and has a love for animals. We never worry when we have Amanda care for our Cookie Jo 💖”
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.
“Eric was incredibly communicative and professional! He was timely in his responses and super with our pups! I highly recommend Eric and would definitely request his services for my pups in the future!”
“I had a situation where the dogs weren’t being attended to to my standards. She came in last minute and saved the day/week the updates were amazing and made me extremely happy that I found her! Would recommend her 1000 times over!”
About: I have had animals throughout my life and have learned how different pet personalities can be. I spent many years carrying for a senior dog. She could barely see, hear, or walk, but enjoyed life right ‘til the end. I also have three cats, a puppy and two house rabbits. So I have knowledge on many different types of animals, and look forward to meeting yours. I’m taking online class,(leaning towards veterinary assistance), and therefore have a flexible schedule for your pet’s walking and sitting needs and take the time to really get to know them Since I have a full house at home, I provide drop ins and walks instead of boarding. i’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own space, and I’ll treat your home with respect and care every step of the way.
“Stephen was amazing with both of my babies!!! Communication was great, took time to play with my babies and make sure they were good 3 times a day!! At no time did I worry because I knew Stephen loved what he do so if I ever need him again, he’ll be the first person I call!!! Thank you so much again Stephen!!!”
“Victoria has been great. Lots of photos of the pups and we felt at ease having her care for our dogs. We will absolutely use her again and moving forward for our go-to pet sitter!”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and have developed deep, hands-on experience with specialized pet care. I am incredibly comfortable administering medications and managing complex health routines. My background includes bottle-feeding newborn kittens, managing delicate medical schedules, and providing the strict, attentive care required for rescue dogs undergoing intense heartworm treatments. Our large, two-story home and fully fenced backyard offer a highly secure, adaptable space for your pets. Whether your dog or cat needs a lively vacation or meticulous medical supervision, they will be safe, comfortable, and expertly cared for here. As a stay at home mom, I am full time at home and dedicated to our daily household and animal routines. Because I am here throughout the day, your pet will receive constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. Pet care doesn't just fit into my schedul, it is a seamless part of my everyday life at home. Safety and structure are my top priorities. In our home, we maintain a highly secure environment featuring a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We keep a well-managed household where guest pets are integrated smoothly alongside our own crate-trained dogs. Whether your pet requires strict crate time, routine medical or medication management, or just a calm, supervised space to relax, I ensure their specific safety and emotional needs are met 24/7.
About: I have taken care of multiple animals since I was around 13! I own three dogs, one golden retriever, one english cream retriever, a german shepherd, as well as a disabled cat! People have relied on me to take care of their fur babies and I look forward to helping you with yours I’m currently enrolled as an online college student and work a full time job where ai am off three days out of the weekI will have plenty of time throughout the day to play with your fur babies! I currently have three dogs and two cats, I am willing to work with you on how you specifically want your animal cared and provided for. My animals are well loved and extremely spoiled.
About: From a young age I've been helping my mother take care of the many dogs we owned. Through the years we've also had everything from horses, cats, chickens, pigs and even rodents. It just seems fitting now that I'm an adult I would become an animal caretaker. I am willing to take care of almost any animal, if you have something unusual just ask. However I do prefer to not have to take care of certain reptiles. I'm currently unemployed so I am available most times of the week. I'm able to come take care of your pets whenever you are in need. I will follow all the rules that you would have about your pet and home. I will keep a very watchful eye on them at all times.

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.

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.
