About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly treat them like family. I grew up with a dog for over 10 years, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and daily care. Now, I have a dog of my own, so I understand firsthand the attention, love, and structure pets need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m committed to giving every pet the same care I give my own. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and I’m flexible with timing. I’m happy to coordinate with your schedule to make things easy and stress-free for you and your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away. I stick closely to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of their space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re doing well.
“We went out on a limb and tried rover for the first time and were absolutely delighted that we got Ashley as our dog walker/ entertainer. In the process our travel plans changed, and Ashley not only accommodated but exceeded our expectations by loving our anxious rescue dog as if it was her own. She made us feel super comfortable knowing that our pup was getting the attention he deserved. She made our trip better knowing that Foster was in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone, first time or regular river users”
“Jennifer took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pictures from each check in. She also was super flexible and able to fit us in for the holidays when our other sitters had fallen through. She’s won our business and we’d be happy to have her watch our kitty again.”
About: Howdy, I'm Tori! I'm a calm and patient sitter who specializes in earning the trust of shy or anxious pets. The dog, who is now a daily regular of mine, that started my interest in providing services for more pets, started out terrified of me; she was so unsure, she wouldn't even come back inside the house for me from the backyard. I learned quickly not to push or rush her, just give her space, consistency, and a calm presence. Now she runs to greet me, wiggling and whacking everything with that happy tail like we are the bestest of friends (Anxiety meds did help but now she doesnt even need em). Most of my personal pet experience comes from having kitties, so I'm very comfortable with sensitive, independent, or slow to warm up personalities. I live in an apartment, so I am only available for drop in visits. I like to focus on keeping routines steady, creating a quiet environment, and communicating clearly with owners so you always know how your pet is doing. I love all animals, even scalies, and work hard to ensure each one feels safe, respected, and cared for. I work in education, so I have school holidays off. I can house sit so long as it is understood I will need to commute to and from your home between the hours of 6:30 AM - 4:30 PM on weekdays. On weekends I am completely open. I like to meet with you if I can the first time to see exactly how you'd like things done. I enjoy sending status photos and am always near my phone if there are any last minute details you need to get to me.
“Working with Dawn was a wonderful experience. She was very communicative and did so great watching our cat. She even took in our trash can..extremely courteous. Will definitely be booking again with Dawn. Can’t recommend enough”
“I wish there were more stars to select. Deanna does a great job caring for my cat and it has made such a difference in her demeanor and health not going to a pet kennel. Absolutely recommend!”
“Chris did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She made sure to give them all the attention and space they needed and ensured they were very well looked after. She did a great job of checking in with me daily and letting me know how they were doing, which I really did appreciate, especially leaving them home alone for the first time. I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry friends!”
“This was my first time using Rover app and was very apprehensive using a pet sitter I didn’t know. Well, let me say that Cheyenne put me at ease right away. I felt my girl Sophie was in great hands. And she was. Cheyenne took excellent care of my kitty. Next time I’m planning a trip, Cheyenne is now our sitter.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I absolutely love animals and the joy they bring. I have experience with pets of all ages and health issues including diabetes and epilepsy. I understand how traumatic it can be for pets to be without their owners and I do everything I can to make it easier on both of you. I work part time and it is mostly from home. I have a very open schedule so I can cater to my clients. I can also easily work on my laptop with a dog or cat on my lap. I am happy to treat your pets as my own. I can send you updates with photos so you know they are okay. I will be respectful of your home and privacy.
“Claire is great with my 3 Boston’s. In addition to this she's reliable, very responsive and sends photo updates. I definitely will ask Claire to drop in again and recommend her.”
“Lisa was great with my kittens!! We had a crazy start as far as logistics go but Lisa was patient, flexible and kind. I greatly appreciated everything she did. Would definitely book with Lisa again. Thank you so much for looking after my little furry friends”
“Courtney was absolutely a savor for me. She did the dropped in and checked on Mello for me while I was out of town. She loved him like he was hers, she treated him so kindly and did an amazing job. She was very respectful, not only to me, my wife and Mello but also to our home. We would love to book her again whenever the time comes.”
“Emily was perfect for our cat. She was proactive as well as responsive and our cat loved her. She sent photos that made us feel so much better about being away from home. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!! ♥️”
“Lorena was great! She was very responsive and immediately notified us when she saw some blood on his toys. Barley was so tired when we got home, so safe to say he had a great time!”
“Melissa was fantastic and took great care of my cat, Anastasia, while I was away. One thing I really appreciated was how communicative she was throughout the entire process. She consistently sent updates and great photos during her visits, which gave me peace of mind and let me know Anastasia was doing well. She was attentive, professional, and clearly cared about making sure my pet was comfortable and well cared for. Before my trip, Melissa took the time to meet with me and Anastasia, which I really appreciated. It gave us a chance to go over everything in person, and I could tell right away that she was thoughtful and genuinely interested in getting to know my cat and her routine. During her visits, she not only handled the essentials but also spent time interacting and playing with Anastasia. It was obvious from the updates and photos that she was engaged and attentive rather than simply stopping by and leaving. Overall, I was extremely happy with Melissa's care, professionalism, communication, and reliability. I would absolutely book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Alexander was AWESOME! I scheduled a few drop in visits while I was out of town and he went above and beyond my dogs. They are normally pretty scared of strangers but by day 2 my dog was resting her head on his lap! I will definitely be using him for all of my future dog sitting needs!”

Emily was a great communicator and provided lots of photo updates to help me feel at ease during our trip. She made a quick stop by the house to get acquainted with the cats which I really appreciated. I felt very safe leaving my cats under her care! Would totally rebook with Emily.
Abigail is such a gift to us!! Mister our kitty absolutely loves her and she goes above and beyond on her visits to our home. We trust her and she always sends the cutest pictures of Mister giving us comfort while we’re gone! We would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our babies and went completely above and beyond. We had an unexpected issue with our AC during her visits, and she was incredibly helpful, flexible, and communicative throughout the whole process. She sent the sweetest updates and photos, and it’s clear our pets loved her. We would absolutely book her again! Thank you so much! ♥️
I highly recommend Lisa, she took exceptional care of my cat Poco while I was away and treated him like family, not just another pet sitting job. From the beginning, communication was excellent — I received regular updates, and photos that gave me tremendous peace of mind during my trip. My cat can be shy and particular about routines, and normally hides for about hour after I return home. this time he was calm and relaxed when I returned home. He was sitting waiting for me in the living room. The litter box, food area, and water bowls were spotless, and it was obvious he had received genuine attention and affection, not just quick drop-in visits. I am not sure if he came out during the visits but I can tell by his reaction when I got home he was comfortable. What really stood out was the level of care and professionalism. She noticed small details about his behavior, kept everything consistent, and clearly understand cats very well. It is rare to find someone who is both dependable and truly compassionate with animals. I would absolutely trust Lisa again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter.
Kyle (& Heather) were such a huge help watching my fur babies. Kyle was attentive and punctual, making it easy for me to relax and trust they were in good hands. Would definitely book with Kyle again, super grateful for the pictures and attention he gave my kitties while I was away.

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.
