“Last minute request on our part. Super fast response and was available to see them within 3 hours of the booking. Great communication and lots of pictures. Thank you 😊”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience caring for and walking dogs for friends and family. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I love staying active, so long walks and playtime are never a problem. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy sending photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident that your dog is happy and well cared for. I’m currently on summer break, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I have a 2-hour practice each day, but outside of that I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions to make sure their pet stays comfortable and maintains their normal routine. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention while keeping the space clean and secure. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for. I adjust my care to each pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs to help them feel safe and comfortable.
“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”
“Deepthi was great at watching my cat! She did everything I asked and had great communication. Cat seemed very happy and healthy when I returned home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Madeline did a great job with Madison especially with kind of a last minute booking so I appreciate her flexibility. She did a great job with my dog and I came home to a happy dog so I would definitely book her again!”
“Taylor did a great job watching our cat while we were out of town for 6 days. She arrived as scheduled and followed instructions related to feeding, cleaning litter box, etc. She communicated daily through the Rover app with updates and pictures. Our cat responded very well to Taylor and was happy to see her during her visits. Would definitely use Taylor again!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life! I recently had to put my dog down this past year so I’m feeling the itch to want to take care and love your animals before adopting my own. I’m currently home a lot and work a few nights a week at a comedy club so I have plenty of time to play and spend quality time with your pet. I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a huge back yard so there’s plenty of space for them to run around on a leash! I also love going on walks so they’ll get plenty of exercise.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since i was 5 years old from my own pets to family members pets. I have taken care of cats dogs fish and guinea pigs. I am good at giving dogs walks and as well have experience in giving cats medicine. I am currently working part time at Costco on the weekends but i am able to pet sit monday’s through fridays Mondays after 5 and Wednesdays after 5. I can easily crate your dog as needed and am able to take your dog for walks safely. I will give your pets loving and care and pick up after them and make sure to feed them.
“Sarah is the very best!!!!!! We loved having her watch our cats and will definitely be booking with her again. She has great cat energy and our two boys love her. We have a litter robot and automatic pet feeder, so we really just wanted someone to check in every couple of days while we were out of the country with no cell service for over a week on our honeymoon. Sarah noticed that one of our cats messed with the feeder machine and it looked like it wasn't dispensing food the right way. Sarah went out of her way to do extra visits to make sure that the cats had food. 10/10, she also helped water my patio garden plants while we were away”
“Things went so well with Brittany while I was traveling. My cats responded well to her and she went above and beyond to even take care of the outdoor cats that like to visit. Definitely will rebook for future needs.”
“There aren’t enough words to give praise to Maggy. She makes it possible for us to enjoy our time away from our babies, as difficult as it is. She is amazing and provides over the top, excellent care!”

Raising and training our high-energy puppy has given us firsthand experience with the importance of enrichment, exercise, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and together we provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment for every pet in our care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or a little extra attention, we’ll treat them like family and ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates with photos. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to detail.
“Jen took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away! I received daily updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. She arrived around the same time each day, kept them on their feeding schedule, and made sure they were comfortable and cared for. Both of my cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed when I came home. I really appreciated the consistency and communication, everything went smoothly. Would definitely book again!”
“Melissa is amazing! She is a natural and provided excellent care for my two kitties. One of my cats got sick, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were okay while we were out!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for both children and animals, which has made me patient, attentive, and very dependable. I’ve been pet and house sitting for family and friends for years, caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I also have an 8-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m excited to start offering my services more broadly and provide the same level of care to others. I work a consistent 7:30 AM–4:00 PM schedule during weekdays, but I’m available for morning, evening, and overnight care. I’m able to provide walks, feedings, and quality time before and after work, and I’m fully available on weekends. I’m committed to making sure your pet feels cared for, comfortable, and well-attended. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I always respect your space, keep things clean, and follow all instructions closely. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or extra patience. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
About: I have two years of experience training puppies (potty/crate training and beginner-advanced commands). I'm patient and let dogs sniff around as much as they please on walks so they get all that good sensory stimulation! I also live near a dog park, and I love taking dogs out to run around and play. Luckily enough, I work from home and am able to watch dogs throughout the day and night, with the ability to take dogs out on as needed bathroom breaks and to play with/train/walk them a throughout the day. Dogs can feel super safe and comfortable at my home! I have a small fenced backed patio with a grassy area. Since I have a small dog, my home is fairly dog-proof. I have multiple dog beds and a play area, not to mention a big selection of toys to choose from!

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.
