About: I have had all types of animals my entire life; horses, dogs, cats, rodents, etc. My mom was a horse and dog trainer so I was taught a lot about reading animals body language and how to work with them to create trust and a healthy bond. I am wanting to give my daughter, Mia who is 12, more experience now as well as she has a real passion for animals. I’m currently a stay at home homeschooling mom of 3. My oldest daughter wants to start her own pet sitting business but because she is too young, I’m starting one instead and letting her join in on this journey to let her build experience for her future and get a head start. Because of this, our schedule is very flexible and open. We have 2 dogs and a cat whom are very well loved and spoiled. I love to take care of my friend’s animals and treat them as if I were their auntie or grandma.
“Julia was fantastic! This was my first full experience with Rover, and Julia could not have done anything better. Great communication, lots of pictures, she even saw a potential concern with one of my cats that I already knew about but pointed it out to me. She was terrific and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was 11 years old, starting with friends’ and family members’ pets. I also volunteered at my hometown Humane Society for four years, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. Growing up, my family participated in a foster program, where we cared for a mother dog and her litter of five puppies. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of the patience, dedication, and specialized care dogs need at every stage of life. For the past 4 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work professionally with dogs, and it’s a career I’m passionate about continuing. I’m also a proud dog owner myself, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I strive to treat every dog as if they were my own, providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Dog sitting and boarding is currently my full-time career, and I truly love what I do! Animals have always been my passion, and I’m grateful to have turned that passion into a profession. I have worked at three different doggy daycare and boarding facilities, serving as a Dog Handler, Shift Leader, and Assistant Manager. These roles have given me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Throughout my career, I’ve gained valuable knowledge in pet behavior, safe group play, feeding routines, medication administration, and providing individualized care to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Every experience has strengthened my passion for working with dogs, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care for every pet entrusted to me. My husband and I share our home with two wonderful dogs, Woody and Bee, who absolutely love making new friends! Woody is our German Shorthair Pointer. He’s playful, gentle, and full of love. He has accompanied me to doggy daycare facilities and has experience interacting with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. He is incredibly social and enjoys making every dog feel welcome. Bee is our Golden Retriever, and she’s as sweet as can be. She loves cuddles, making new friends, and having fun with other dogs. Her calm, friendly personality helps other pups feel comfortable and at ease. We live in an apartment with a spacious living area where the dogs can play and relax indoors. Outside, we have a large grassy area directly across the street that provides plenty of space for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I take the dogs outside every 3–4 hours (or more often if needed) to ensure they stay comfortable and get plenty of fresh air. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. If your pup is crate trained or requires crating for their routine, I’m happy to accommodate that. Otherwise, they’ll be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, all the cuddles they’re comfortable with!
“Our 2 Frenchies were well taken care of!This was our first experience with Rover and Maria was very helpful with any questions I had. I would book her again in the future!”
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for a new opportunity to be around animals this summer and get outdoors whether it’s walking pets or playing outside with pets. I have had 3 big dogs growing up and currently have 2 cats of my own that I adopted from homeward animal shelter. I always ensure that any animal in my care gets all the love that they can and that they have all the needed supplies, toys, and treats.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and had my own cat for over 15 years. I’ve lived with many dogs over the years anywhere from Siberian Husky to a happy go lucky golden retriever. Your furry family members deserve all the love and I hope to show it to them! I’m a full time land surveyor, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can usually pop in for drop in visits and you’re welcome to message last minute and I’ll see what I can do! My weekends are also mostly available as well for any drop ins or potential boarding as well. I’m easy going and can work with you the best I can. I have a home that was home to an amazing cat for over 15 years. It is still set up for yours to be very comfortable. I can kennel your dogs if that is a request you desire.
“Amanda’s great! She is so personable, kind and caring of our pets! Our dogs loved her! We loved seeing our pup’s photos every day while on our trip and we were always kept informed of any changes!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, and personalities. In addition to growing up with pets, I currently work at Fetchers, where I provide care for dogs in a professional setting. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care so your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time at Fetchers, but my schedule still allows for plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. Because I work with animals professionally, caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and can provide dependable care, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I also treat every home with respect by keeping spaces clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring your pet remains safe. You can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Mallory was amazing with our cats! Usually mine are shy but they really enjoyed her company. She was super flexible even with our very last minute booking. She is so sweet and kind! We will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I understand how much pets mean to their families. After raising a Min Pin for 16 years and a Bull Terrier for 11, I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for many pets through sitting and walking services while living in Germany, always providing loving, attentive care. Treating every pet like family! I work as a paraprofessional and am currently off for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. During the school year, I maintain a consistent routine and can still provide reliable care. In your home, I can make multiple visits throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention. At my home, while I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a large open yard with a field behind our home and several nearby walking paths. Pets in my care receive plenty of exercise, outdoor time, and supervision to keep them safe, happy and comfortable.
“Arica is such an amazing pet sitter!! I appreciate the thorough details of her visits and she's so sweet with my boys! I come home to happy and healthy pets, and even my timid boy is even getting more comfortable with her. She understands their body language and keeps them as comfortable as possible with their mom being away. She's now my go to sitter when I need one!”
About: I have grown up with pets being a huge part of my life. Right now I have my sweet girls Paris and Rana. Paris is a four-year old Golden Retriever and Rana is a rescue kitty from Furry Friend's Rockin' Rescue. We adopted her in 2020! I grew up with cats, and although I didn't get my first dog until I moved out on my own, she has truly made me fall in love with being a dog mom. There's something special about the genuine love that all pets give us, and there's nothing I'd love more than to help take care of yours when life gets busy. Our pets are family. They will be in great hands and will get all of the love that they deserve! I am a full-time musician, but most of the time my Monday-Friday consists of spending time with my own pets before I hit the road! Although my schedule is unpredictable, it does leave room for even more flexibility and the ability to take last minute drop-ins/walk requests! I will always put your pets safety and happiness first. I know how terrifying it can be to leave your pets' care up to someone you've never met, but can assure you they will get nothing but love and attention during my drop-ins! I am unable to have pets come to my own home as it stresses my rescue cat out too much, but love doing drop-in visits at your convenience! I am someone who runs half marathons and walks for fun... So there is nothing I'd love more than to help walk your sweet fur babies as well!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Horace
Amanda was an amazing caregiver for my four cats while I was on vacation for a week. She visited twice a day at our agreed‑upon times and always followed up with photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Two of my cats are typically very fearful of new people, but after just a few days they were completely at ease around her. Animals truly recognize kind, caring humans, and Amanda is absolutely one of them. We met before my trip so she could get to know the cats, and I felt comfortable with her right away. She has a kind, easygoing personality, and it was lovely chatting about her own pets too. She also needed to give one cat a transdermal med on her ear for hypothyroidism twice a day and she was very comfortable with providing that for my kitty! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet carer, Amanda is the one to choose. I couldn’t recommend her more.

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
