“This was my first experience with Sparrow and I was delighted to see how happy my cat Rasmo was to be in their tender and attentivecare. Sparrow sent lots of updates and was very responsive to my questions. I also received lots of photos showing Rasmo snuggled up and relaxed, which really helped to put my mind at ease while I was away. I would hire Sparrow back anytime!”

About: I am a true animal lover. I’ve had dogs my whole life, but also lived with cats, medium dogs, even the largest dogs (I used to have a St. Bernard so I’ve seen it all.) I’m hoping to get some extra walkies in with new fur friends here and there. Or maybe check up on your fur baby while you’re at work or out of town. I treat all animals like my own and will respect them just like I do with my own sensitive girl. I have to give my dog her oral meds on a strict schedule every day and check her for side effects throughout the day, such as bruising, thirst, blood in the stool… I monitor her daily for all of this as well as giving her outside time every couple of hours to run, play ball or tug-of-war, and then end of day walkies. I definitely have her built into my every day routine. I plan my weeks around her appointments and pill times. My top most consideration is always what does my pet need and what do they expect of me for their unique day-to-day? Do they like to snuggle or do they want to run outside? I like to consider what the specific pet needs out of me and accommodate. My girl is very anxious and high energy so she needs lots of running time, but she also loves her night time cuddles before bed. I will care for pets the way they need me and that’s on their terms because they’re all different.

About: I've walked dogs before, but I am not as experienced with dogs as I am with cats, however, I like dogs and hope to get more experience caring for them. I currently attend university, I'm also a student athlete, but I'd love to make some extra cash and I really love animals. I am studying animal behavior at school. For both cats and dogs, I will do whatever asked of you in terms of how often to feed them, take them out, medicate them, etc. However my schedule is very busy and I might not be able to go to your house multiple times a day.

About: I have a 2 year old dog name Jerry. I have learned so much about pet care through taking care of him. I grew up around plenty of animals- cats and dogs. Please let us know how we can care best for you and your pet! I am in the military and slowly transitioning to a new unit. I have availability every day! I frequently update my calendar. I would love to help out in anyway that I can. Whether it is a walk or a short visit, let me know if I can be of any help! This is my first time using this app, but I would love to try something new and super excited to meet your fur baby! :) I can help administer meds or any other medical assistance as needed. I take my dog for frequent walks and can have him accompany if you are comfortable or I can go solo. I am happy to help you and your fur baby!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was born. During high school I used to dog sit for many family friends. Typically overnights and occasional drop ins. A couple years ago I moved out of my parents house and have been dog sitting for my friends now that they have their own pets, as well as my family who recently adopted a new kitten (If you have cats that need care) I am very adaptable and responsible, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I love them all! I have also pet sat for animals who have special diets, that require me to prep dinner instead of the typical scoop of kibble. I’m currently working full time at a local university but am out by 3:30pm every day. If you work late this is perfect to let your dog out for a walk and feed them. I am totally fine with working late I am very adaptable and understanding of diets and energy levels of different dogs. I am a very energetic person so if your puppy needs play, I can provide. If your senior dog needs company, I can provide. If your dog needs whole meals prepped I am also experienced in that. I can care for your pet in any way you need

About: I take myself out for walks anyway, dogs are just amazing company! I'm excited to get your dogs moving outside in a safe way that burns off some energy and allows exploration! I love being outdoors in any weather condition. Being away from home, I dearly miss my own dog, so spending quality time with some of the best creatures in the world is an amazing added bonus. I’m available weekdays before 11:30, and any time on weekends! I work in the afternoons, so my availability is before 11:30 and after 6 pm on weekdays. I’m happy to be flexible to suit your changing needs, especially if something comes up last minute that you need support with! I know it’s an act of extreme trust to have another person interact with your fur babies and I take that responsibility extremely seriously!! Whether in your home, my home, or just walking around the neighborhood, I promise to pay attention to, care for, and love your pets like they are my own!

About: I have been working with cats and dogs professionally for over 15 years, including as a full time walker and sitter, as a daycare group leader, as management for a dog walking company, and as a kennel attendant in 4 different boarding facilities. I have managed groups of dogs and trained new daycare employees on dog body language, aggression, and group play safety. I have worked with aggressive dogs, fearful dogs, reactive dogs, as well as puppies, seniors, and dogs with disabilities. Animals are my life and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else! *I am not currently certified in dog first aid/CPR but I have taken the course multiple times. I also have not administered injections to a dog or cat before but I am confident I would be able to perform them with a quick demonstration. I am a full time dog walker and sitter, so all days of the week are available and I am open for the holidays. Send me a message and we will go from there! I will leave your home exactly as I found it or better, I always plan to take out the trash on the last day of a pet sitting job and I will follow your instructions carefully about waste bags and house rules. I understand I am a guest in your space and I always take that seriously!

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
