“Kierstynn did a great job with our girls. She is reliable, kind and cares for our girls as if they were her own. It’s been such a relief for us to know we have someone trust worthy. We greatly appreciate her pet sitting! Will definitely continue to book with her.”

“Jade was amazing! She went above and beyond what I requested and honestly it was so refreshing coming back from traveling and not having to do anything immediately for my cats. I will definitely be rebooking her again for any future travel plans I have if she is available!”


“Brooke did amazing with Ruger and Maggie! She followed the schedule like we talked about and fed them for us as well. Ruger and Maggie behaved well with her kids. Definitely going to be using her in the future!!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have grown up with both dogs and cats! I have been surrounded by them whether it be them being my own pets( or should I say my own family members because let’s face it, they are our family), my relatives house and even my neighbors house when babysitting. I know it can be hard leaving your fur baby alone, I just hope that I can make them and you comfortable! I am a full time teacher at Camp Lejeune! I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm so I am available weekdays after 5:45 pm and then all weekend long. I take hour lunches so if in a nearby neighborhood I can let them out during the day or frequently on the weekends! In order to keep you and them at the most comfortable, I am able to house sit and take care of them in the comfort of your own home. I am 100% honest so that everyone has a happy, healthy and most importantly and safe stay!
“Sarah was great with our two kitties and was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She was professional and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were away.”

“The best service I could have asked for. Exceeded expectations, sent me updates of my cats, played with them, brought in my mail, took out my trash, watered my plant, and was consistent with times he was able to show up. I look forward to working with him in the future as well! Thank you!”


“Allana was great. She was always on time and was great with my dog. My dog is very shy and doesn’t get comfortable with everyone but warmed up to Allana really fast. She communicated and sent me pictures and updates after every visit. I would highly recommend her.”

“Alissa and Mario took amazing care of my shy kitty. They took the time to get to know her, kept her litter, food, and water clean and refilled and they are respectful and communicative! Definitely recommend”


About: I had both dogs and cats my whole life and raised multiple kittens and puppies. I have a 2 year old golden doodle and just recently got a kitten. I have also taken care of senior pets which includes giving them medicine daily. I will take care of all ages and requirements! I am a college student with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets! I can crate train your dog and I would love to take them on walks. I know leaving your pet in a new strange place can be hard for both you and your pet, but I promise to take good care of them!
“Madison was amazing! She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative. My baby was scared of the storms and Madison made sure she was taken care of and kept us updated. She was always on time and she even walked them every morning! Loooooooove Madison! Would definitely recommend and use Madison again. I never worried about my fur kiddos with her.”

“She was lovely with my kitties and I appreciated the attentiveness to the litter box and her many attempts to convince my scaredy cat Maxie to eat until his hunger finally won out. Will definitely be using her services again and hopefully my Maxie will apprehensively get to know her better.”

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.
About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on weekdays and all day on the weekends if booked I’m advance. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-3pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a enclose or cage I don’t mind looking after those as well as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, etc.). Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine depending on what is required from the client regarding their animal. Feedings and pet engagement are my main priority so that if I cannot stay with the animal, the animal is getting social interaction when I drop by for feedings! I do not care for clients pets in my own home however caring for clients pets in their home is strictly followed from what is given guideline wise whether there’s a set of rules a routine an hour by our breakdown - it’s followed! And as always, there’s lots of pets and lots of cuddles involved.
About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).

Jade was amazing! She went above and beyond what I requested and honestly it was so refreshing coming back from traveling and not having to do anything immediately for my cats. I will definitely be rebooking her again for any future travel plans I have if she is available!

I recently hired Andrea to care for my two cats, Casper and Spirit, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was exceptionally reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of their care routine. Casper and Spirit can be a bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to Andrea right away — a true testament to her calm and caring nature. I received regular updates and photos, which gave my wife complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable at home. I came back to two relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine affection Andrea showed toward my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.

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.
