“Brianna was amazing to our furry friends and home! She went above and beyond and even took care of one of my dogs who ended up getting sick while we were away. Definitely will be issuing her again for our sitting needs!”
“✨ 10/10 recommend Payton! ✨ She is amazing with animals and truly loves what she does. My wild, high-energy boys adore her, and she handles them with patience, care, and lots of love. Payton is dependable, communicative, and treats your pets like family. Having her watch your dogs feels like having a trusted friend come over to spoil them while you’re away. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brooke did a wonderful job with my 3 fur babies. I sincerely appreciated her taking pics of them during my absence. I would definitely recommend her services. We communicated throughout my absence which I appreciated too.”
“Madison was great with our cat, Wrigley, while away. She was reliable, flexible when needed, and provided loving care and peace of mind while away. We will use her again!”
“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”
About: I’ve had my dog for almost 8 years as well as took care of her 8 pups 4 years ago. I’ve also had over 10 dogs growing up. We love to play, take walks and cuddle. I work from home so I am able to tend to your pets needs. I also have a 5 year old daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do. I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I only leave the house for about 20 mins to take my daughter to and from school. I have one fur baby to keep your dog company. My complex has a dog park. And the neighborhood is great for walking. I also have an extra bedroom dedicated to extra pets if needed.
“Highly recommended! Could not have asked for better sitter. Justin took excellent care of both our dogs. Our dog Cas has special needs and can be a real handful for most people but not for Justin. Will definitely use him again!”
About: In addition to taking care of my dog for the last eleven years, I also have experience watching family friends dogs when they are away for the night. Pet care isn’t apart of my daily routine as much when I’m at college, but when I’m at home I’m very diligent as I’m usually the only one home. With my own pets they are not with me at college, but when I am home I have to keep a close eye on my dog, Cleo, as she has some medical problems as a result of age now. So with her I’ll take her outside whenever she starts walking to the door, refill her water bowls, and heat her food that has to be homemade now. When I was dog sitting for the night, their dogs had a very specialized food plan and needed a lot of encouragement and patience when it came to feeding.
About: I have loved all animals ever since I could remember. I have 2 dogs of my own who are high energy that I love dearly. What sets me apart from other profiles is I am a genuine person who will love your pets like my own and also won’t be shy about making sure you come home to a nice clean house. I can promise you that I will go above and beyond for your fury family members and make sure you are happy with my services! Additionally use my promo code for first time bookings! DANAH32598 I’m currently blessed with making my own schedule for work, giving me even more freedom to help take care of your furry family members. 🐶🐱 Just like people, every dog has a different personality. I would work with the owner and follow instructions for care and also get info on what their furry friends love the most! My job is to ease your mind while traveling and making sure your pet is comfortable while you are away.
About: I’m Lawrence and I love dogs. Pet sitting is so rewarding! I also love that I have the freedom to work at home, while caring for animals. You’ll love that I’m able to spend the entire day with your dog so I can get to know their personality and individual needs. Customers remark say I have calming energy that animals feed off and creates a great environment for their care. I pay the utmost attention to the owner’s wishes and perspective as well as the dog themselves. I treat and respect every stay as a unique experience and hope to connect with you to create a respectful and symbiotic relationship. I live in a cozy home in Norwalk with Gabby. Our neighborhood is dog-friendly and perfect for walking. The streets are calm and you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands when walking around my neighborhood. We have a great park across the street from my house which, with your permission, I’d love to take your pup to. I have a range of experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities of pups. I grew up with Shepherds and Labs but have spent time with many dogs. My fiancé Gabby will be there as well to provide extra cuddles. My clients have fallen in love with her natural ability and calmness. She’s a great partner and your pup will be lucky to have us both in their care. When I’m not spending time with pups (or when I am), I enjoy relaxing with Gabby, developing video games and skateboarding.

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.
