She provided us with updates on all her visits and gave love whenever the babies approached her. We definitely will be booking her for all our future pet sitting/drop-in visits.”

“Alexis was fantastic! Alexis brings calm welcoming energy that my girls needed and I felt very comfortable with having her in my home. My two cats are very different, a three-month old kitten with chaotic energy and oral medication needs, and a one-year old with timid shy energy, Alexis was really great with both personalities. She followed all my directions perfectly, she sent nice pictures at every visit, and she even got my shy girl to come out of hiding a couple times. I will definitely be using Alexis again someday!”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and care needs both in a professional setting and as a pet owner! At my previous doggy daycare job, I walked, fed, administered medication to, and boarded with dogs. I also have cared for cats for 3 years and have some experience caring for birds (and absolutely love them! particularly cockatiels and conures) I currently am a full time student and have 2 days off during the work week thanks to online classes, so more time to care for pets! I live in a large apartment with no personal pets. Dogs would be crated when I’m in class (only a few hours a day, less than 6 usually) and free to roam when I’m home, with at least 2 relief walks a day. I have one female roommate who is also experienced in caring for dogs, but I will be the only one responsible for the dog’s care. Care at a client’s home would all depend on their personal preferences! I am comfortable sleeping over for any type of pet.

She made a personal connection with our two cats by playing with them and also kept their area clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Jade Marie to other pet owners seeking help!”

About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.

About: Hi, I'm Manuela I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I've also volunteered as a foster home for dogs rescued from high-risk shelters, so I have experience with pups from all kinds of backgrounds especially those needing a little extra love and patience. At home, I live with my sweet, spayed female dog named Mocca. She's very friendly and gets along well with others, so your pup will have a built-in buddy to play with and feel at ease around! Whether you're looking for a day sitter or need someone you can trust while you're away, I provide a safe, loving environment where your dog will be treated like family. I also speak Spanish, so feel free to reach out in either language! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m also available to go for a walk or take a trip to the dog park since it’s only 5 min away from home. We also have a fenced yard, giving your pup a safe and secure space to play, explore, and burn off some energy while being safe.

“Paula W. 100% 5 star GEM We had less than 24 hrs notice. Our cats eyesight was deteriorating and my anxiety was uncontrollable. I couldn't leave her alone. It is February and the weather is as bad as can be. Freezing rain on top of snow. We never met Paula but she said YES, she would help us! Amazing!! Paula showed up a few minutes early. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that my cat would be well taken care of while I was away for a few hours. Paula was great! She texted me pics and updates and reassured me my baby girl was ok. I can't thank you enough Paula. Best wishes”

About: 🎉 Use Promo Code: FAMDRD77423 for $40 OFF your first Rover booking! 🎉 (Valid for first-time Rover users only.) As a physician, I've dedicated my career to caring for others, and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. My medical background has taught me to stay calm under pressure, notice subtle changes, and provide thoughtful, attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, starting by helping neighbors with their pets during vacations and busy schedules. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I tailor my care to each pet's unique needs. I also have experience training dogs using positive reinforcement, consistency, and patience. My goal is always to provide a fun, safe, and enriching experience while reinforcing good behaviors. Experience & Qualifications 👨‍⚕️ Physician with a calm, observant, and compassionate approach 🐾 Over 15 years of hands-on dog care experience 🎓 Experience with positive reinforcement training and basic obedience 🐶 Comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs Specialized Care 💊 Experienced with administering medications and following detailed care instructions 🦴 Comfortable caring for senior and special needs pets 💛 Patient with anxious, shy, or first-time boarding and sitting pets 🏡 Able to maintain your pet's normal routine to reduce stress Flexible Boarding Options 🌳 I offer flexible boarding options in my house or apartment, allowing me to match your pet with the environment where they’ll feel most comfortable. 🛋️ Quieter pets may enjoy a cozy apartment, while more energetic dogs can benefit from extra space to play and relax. 🎯 My goal is to provide the best experience based on your pet’s unique personality and needs. What You Can Expect ❤️ Every pet is treated like a member of my own family 🚶 Walks & playtime based on your dog's personality & energy level 📸 Frequent photo and video updates throughout every visit 📱 Prompt communication and dependable, detail-oriented care 🐾 A safe, loving & low stress environment where your pet can feel comfortable & happy I also have a trusted team of experienced caregivers who may occasionally assist with your pet’s care, providing extra flexibility and reliability. They may help with training, playtime, grooming, enrichment, or whatever else you may request while following the same commitment to safety, communication, and treating your pet like family. My Reliability Promise ✅ Your booking is my commitment. If an unexpected emergency or scheduling conflict prevents me from caring for your pet, I’ll help arrange a trusted replacement sitter so you’re never left scrambling at the last minute. 🐾 Your pet will continue receiving safe, reliable care from someone dependable. 💛 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and your peace of mind are always my top priorities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide the same level of care, kindness, and attention that I would want for my own dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 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 Meet & Greet .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
