“Shelby did a fantastic job taking care of the pups. Our pups loved her instantly. She even was able to do a last minute adjustment and was very accomidating. Highly recommend.”
“I feel confident when I leave for work that my dog Gemma is in great hand with Karen, Karen is a great communicator, and responsive to request to care for you pet. I’m fortunate to have found her on Rover!”
“Izzy did a fantastic job with our dog. She made sure he was well exercised, had plenty of water, and fed him dinner. She even left our porch light on for us so we wouldn’t come back in the dark. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Lisa is absolutely amazing! We have left our 2 cats and 2 dogs with her several times, and would not trust anyone else with our fur babies. I never worry about them when they’re in her care. She goes above and beyond in seeing that their needs (and wants) are met and that they have lots of attention and a sense of peace and security while we are gone. I love that she leaves detailed notes and photos, and checks with me if she has any questions or concerns. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”
“Ashley is our go-to cat sitter, she’s a great communicator and always includes multiple photos in her reports. We really appreciate her service and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Our dog Leo is very delicate, and old. We needed help nearing navigating care, and work. Ryland really has been a great person to step in and help us. He is kind and patient.”
“Thomas was absolutely fantastic, easy to work with on scheduling, great to chat with during our meet and greet, and took great care of my cat. It was an incredible relief having him check up on Jasper while I was away, and warmed my heart to get pictures and updates for the extra reassurance.”
“Alana was wonderful and took care to give my active cat everything he needed while I was away! She was also very communicative even with the time difference and app issues.”
“Kyrna was great with my pup! She followed instructions well and was flexible with my adjustments, and I could tell my girl was happy from their time together. I hope to use her services again in the future!”
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
About: I am a genuine happy pet loving guy. With at least ten years caring for my own pets (2 cats, 3 dogs). I have my own transportation and have been first aid certified so I know what to look for at the first signs of any trouble with pets. My days and weekends are perfect time for walking and caring for dogs and cat sitting. I work part time at night as a caregiver, but I can plan house sitting around my other work. I like pets and can’t wait to meet yours. I have a big home and am open to one or two animals a week, but no double booking and no outside cats. However, in a client’s home they set the rules and I respect their space.
About: I will provide a fun and loving vacay for your pet, while you are away. Your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved in my home. I am well versed in puppy training from potty training to crate training and learning to walk on a leash, through positive reinforcement. I will love, care for and play with your loved one as they are my own. My home has a fully fenced in yard that is easily accessible via a doggy door. For senior pets, there are no stairs in the home. I own the property next to me so there is also plenty of room there to play and chase balls. I am happy to discuss with you how I can best care for your animal while your are away to ensure a smooth and stress free experience for both. I currently work full time M-F from 7am until 3:30pm. I am available for boarding at my home 7 days a week. I will ensure your animal gets plenty of play time before I go to work and upon my return. I have a fully fenced in yard that is accessible via the doggy door of their own personal play room in my home. Your fur baby will be kept company by my loving and playful Australian Cattle Dog. While I am away from the home dogs are kept in the back playroom. I am willing to help and assist in crate training if needed or desired. While I am home your pet will be welcomed to be apart of my family whether it’s hiking, going for walks or just a night in chilling by the fire and watching TV. Your animal we be treated and loved as my own.
“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”
“Brandi was just such an awesome blessing during our trip to western MA! I did write a review at the time (May, 2019), but the internet access was shaky and obviously it didn't go through, but she earned our highest possible recommendation. She was highly professional and intuitive with our very private Irish Wolfhound puppy, Aoife. Aoife had a great time. She didn't seem to notice we were gone until we returned, which was just awesome, as we felt very guilty when we left her in a strange place. I would trust Brandi with any living creature. I know she will be moving on to a rewarding career, but if she's still sitting/walking the next time we're in that area, we will definitely try to book her again!”
About: I was a certified veterinary technician for 4+ years with experience in small, large, and exotic animal care. I also have 2+ years of experience working for a boarding/doggy daycare and grooming company. I regularly dog and cat sit for friends and coworkers. I am free for early morning, lunchtime, and evening walks and drop in’s! I am also available anytime on the weekends as well! I enjoy being able to split my days between work and animal care. I always start with a meet-and-greet with the pet and family beforehand as it builds trust with the owners and the pet. I also have a checklist of information that I ensure is completed for both my and the families peace of mind which includes information like an emergency contacts, allergies, medications, preferred potty times, and favorite toys and treats. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me is my top priority.

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.
