“I had Oscar do a last minute drop in for my pups, and he was fantastic! He followed all instructions perfectly, was right on time, and kept me updated with great communication and lots of pictures (which I really appreciated!). My dogs are super happy, and I will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for and build strong relationships with a variety of cats and birds over the years. When friends or family have needed to travel, I’ve also cared for their dogs, typically for trips of up to two days. These experiences have helped me understand the different needs and personalities of each pet, while reinforcing the importance of patience, consistency, and providing attentive, reliable care. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention. I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.
About: I treat every pet like my own, paying attention to their needs, routines, and comfort. I’m gentle, reliable, and great with shy or anxious animals. I’m a college student. My days are very flexible. I am available everyday. I truly love animals and I’m looking to care for animals, it is my passion. I follow each pet’s routine, give fresh food and water, clean litter, offer playtime, and provide lots of attention. I keep their environment calm, safe, and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I have petsitted a few times in Nicaragua, but the service was never as popular. I currently have a ten year old cocker spaniel named Leia, who you can see in my picture. I’m a proud dog friend and an aspiring cat friend as I haven’t had much experience with cats. However, I love animals (as long as they are not insects). I am one to pay close attention to pet body language, and I will make sure to provide the most comfort and love to your furbaby 💕 I’m currently working part-time so I will be super happy to fit any pet care into my schedule. I’m very punctual will petsit for you on friday and weekends, when you usually want to go out and enjoy human time ✨ I’m happy to provide any tools and help you acquire items for your pet. If you need me to pet-shop too, I will! I also have a car of my own, so there is no end to dog parks we can visit. I will go and stay at your home as much as you need in order to care for your pet. Everybody at home adores pets.
“Jazmarie did a great job taking care of my kitties. She was concerned about one sneezing one day and sent me a video. I really appreciated that. I've already booked her for a second time.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every animal I care for. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and good at following specific instructions, whether that includes caring for energetic puppies, maintaining routines for senior pets, administering basic care, or simply giving extra comfort and companionship. I treat every pet like family and always make their happiness and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I currently work Monday through Friday, but I am very flexible on weekends and can accommodate whatever times are needed. I’m reliable, organized, and always make time to give pets the attention, care, walks, playtime, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, companionship, and lots of attention while also keeping the home clean and respectful. If caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, loving, and safe environment where they receive constant supervision, affection, exercise, and personalized care based on their specific needs and personality.

“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”
About: What’s set me apart from other sitters is that I love dogs and I’ll provided the care you want as followed by any rules ! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have enough time to play with your pups. I can do on boarding on weekends and dog walk everyday of the week at any time . I live in a spacious apartment and I have a small doggy that will keep he/she company. And I will crate if needed. I’ll always be watching!
“Jennifer was a fantastic sitter with our two boys. We were really nervous leaving them and going overseas but she put our mind at ease with regular check ins and a pre-visit. We highly recommend her and will definitely utilize her services again when we are out of town!”
About: Hi, I’m Cynthia, a Master’s student originally from the Midwest. I spent two months pet sitting in the D.C. area in May 2023 and that was the start of an incredible journey. Since then I have cared for everything from cats to dogs to birds. I’ve even once cared for a colleague’s hedgehog! In March, I settled in Miami while I pursue my degree because I love the weather here. Anywho, I’d love to spend some time taking care of your furry friends. I’m open to short or long term sits or walks! I currently work from home part-time and am a very part-time student. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family members while you are away. I do not care for pets in my home at this time. It is more convenient for me to sit at the owner's place of residence.
“There is no better human equipped for cats than Andrea. She has been caring for our babies for the second year now and we couldn’t travel with the ease that we do without her. If you are serious about how deeply cared for your pets will be while you’re away consider Andrea for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My experience includes caring for animals in a hands-on farm environment, along with providing attentive, responsible care for pets with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and individual needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise, cleanliness, medications when applicable, and any changes in behavior. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply needs some extra companionship while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel secure, loved, and at home. I currently work part-time in the mornings for about four hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m able to accommodate pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other care needs around my schedule. I’m flexible and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and the owner’s preferred schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their instructions and routines closely, including feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after their pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, giving affection and companionship when they’re receptive while also respecting their boundaries. I currently care for the cats around my residence by providing food and fresh water, giving them affection when they’re comfortable with it, and cleaning up after them. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect.

Melida is always my go-to when it comes to house drop ins! She originally came to do a house sitting for us about a year ago and came in and met my babies and took notes! Even a year later she still had the notes from the previous time! I feel 100% comfortable and at ease being out of town and knowing my babies are in good hands. Thank you so much Melida!
Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication and told me when she was leaving and had arrived each time. She also gave me details of every visit, as well as many pictures. She also was very tentative to my elderly cats needs, including giving him medicine daily. She was very respectful of my house, and asked many questions to make sure that my cat was comfortable and had the best experience while I was gone. It was very evident that she truly cared about his needs, which means a lot to me because he’s like my child. I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future.

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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
