“Kiera did an amazing job as always watching our dog and cat! Great at communicating, and the pets love her. We had piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town.”
About: I have had animals ever since I was born! I fell in love with taking care of animals when my family's dog started growing old. Instead of seeing the extra care you must give a senior dog as a chore, I saw it as a teaching moment, as an opportunity to pour even more love into my dog. And, now, I really enjoy dog sitting! I love walking dogs and can take them on hikes, long walks, or a short trip to the mailbox! If you couldn't tell from my pictures I love animals of all kinds! I have a special place in my heart for guinea pigs because my brother has two! I am an incoming college freshman, so in Maryland my availability will be during the summer months and during breaks. Otherwise, I have no other scheduling conflicts! I make sure that I approach each dog differently. If a dog is low energy, I will be able to match their energy and make sure that they are comfortable. And on the other hand, if a dog is high-energy I can match that too. Play time and long walks are always welcomed!
“We had a great experience with Yeji! She took wonderful care of our cats and followed all of our instructions perfectly, including their different feeding routines. She was reliable, communicative, and made it easy for us to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Madison is great with our cats. She’s patient and even won over our shy cat Chaka. She gave solid updates & sent pics. We look forward to working with Madison again in the future. Thanks Madison!”
“Ryan and Brittanie are fantastic! I knew as soon as they met my girl she was in good hands!! Both of them have great communication… and photos! I could tell my pup was having a fantastic time with their drop-in visits. We’ll definitely book in the future and recommend to anyone local.”
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
“Jessica was very professional and communication was easy. I felt very comfortable to leave my four cats in her care. Will definitely use Jessica again in the near future!”
“Priscilla was great with my dog and very reliable. My dog is very nervous about meeting new people and allowing strangers into the house but he warmed up to her because of her sweet, gentle way. I would definitely use her again.”
“Sara was AMAZING with our puppy, Cooper! She made sure he didn’t eat anything on his walks because that’s been a big issue with him. She always made sure he was taken care of and administered his medicine since he recently was discharged from the animal hospital. We can’t wait to use Sara again!”
“Anneli is the best! She must be a cat whisperer, because my kitties love her so much! And she will make sure everything is safe and sound in your home for your fur babies while you are away!”
“Amanda is heaven sent!! All 3 of my pets love her 💗 She’s a great communicator and takes lots of pics of your fur babies 🥹 I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Lingli was wonderful with our two senior dogs! She was great with making sure they felt comfortable and she sent the cutest pictures! We were able to not worry while we were away!”
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
About: I have experience caring for family pets and helping friends and neighbors with their dogs and cats while they're away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking dogs, providing companionship, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and properly giving medication when needed. While I do not currently own a dog, I have experience walking dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of providing them exercise, attention, and safe handling during walks. I have two cats of my own, which has given me firsthand experience understanding pet daily needs, behaviors, and personalities. Through these experiences, I ave learned the importance of patience and attentive care to ensure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I recently graduated from college and will be starting a new full-time position in a couple of months. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is a great fit for me. I enjoy being around animals and providing them with reliable care while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping the space clean, securing doors and gates, and treating their property with care. To provide peace of mind, I send regular updates and photos so owners can stay informed about how their pets are doing.
About: I have had a dog for over a decade now, and I am a very qualified pet sitter. I am a very responsible honor student with lots of availability looking to help out in any way I can. I am working part time, and I have lots of time to be there and meet your needs. I am available all days of the week. I will go over however frequently you need, and will play with your dog, walk them, make sure they have food and water, and any other forms of care that you may need.
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ilchester
It was a pleasure working with Keira. She was friendly and attentive when she first stopped by to meet our 2 cats. The messages and photos she left while we were away showed us that she was thorough and caring. Our little guys were very well taken are of. Top notch service all around!
We had a great experience with Yeji! She took wonderful care of our cats and followed all of our instructions perfectly, including their different feeding routines. She was reliable, communicative, and made it easy for us to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again!
This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit hesitant but Carolyn B. made me feel secure with my animals under her care. She was prompt, thorough and conscientious for all of the visits while I was away. She stayed in communication with me and responded promptly to any of my questions. I recommend Carolyn and would use her again!
Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Communication was quick and consistent, and she was always very responsive whenever I had a question or update. I felt confident leaving my pet in her care and appreciated the updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others!!!
Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
