“Nyla was an amazing Rover! She was able to work with us last minute and was very flexible. She was also amazing with our difficult dog! Can't wait to book with her in the future.”
“Wendy did a great job with Sofie. She gave her attention and sent pictures to me. The snow caused a little problem with transportation at the beginning but she couldn’t do anything about the weather.”
About: Lifelong pet owner trusted by coworkers, neighbors, and family for pet sitting. I treat every pet like family and am glad to send regular updates and photos . I work full-time but am completely available to pet sit Monday thru Friday after 4 pm. I am also available weekends for the full day and overnight. I want you and your pet to be at ease , so I am willing to care for them in their own home surrounded by their own things.
About: I am experienced in pet care. I'm an active animal foster and have been around animals of all sizes and ages. I also know how to administer meds, so if your baby is on anything no doses will be missed. I work from home, so your pet will have plenty of love and attention. I leave the house once daily to drop my kids off at school, so outside of that I'm here. I grocery shop Sundays so your baby will nearly never be alone. I have 2 dog that are used to other animals being in and out with me being a foster. I also have the ability to keep pets seperate but kennels must be provided. Please also bring a leash. I can only provide care to leash trained, house trained, kennel trained dogs.
“Anna did a great job. My little guys had a wonderful time with her and I have peace of mind that they are taken care of when I’m away. She brought the garbage can to the road and picked it up later. She got my packages off the porch, washed up the dogs dishes and picked up their toys that they scattered all over. Also had her do some house cleaning which was awesome. I’m happy with Anna and definitely will be using her again.”
About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.
About: I have always had a pet or many. And have always loved animals. I consider myself the pet whisperer. I have excellent references. Pets are my passion I currently work part time. And I go to school online. This to me is ideal to earn extra money doing what I love while I still school online I’m good with detailed instructions on caring for your pet. I will do it with the most love and care sending plenty of pictures. No job too big
“This was my first time using Rover, and to be honest I was a little nervous, but Vanessa made the process so easy! She was attentive, responsive, and sent lots of photos of my cat while I was away. I would strongly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind sitter!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for many years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“Thank you so much Tiffany, Kilo and Carter say Hi and thank you for taking great care of them, not to mention entertaining them. Im sooo glad I found someone I trust with my boys. I will definitely be contacting you again, hopefully soon for our next outing.😁 Billy , Carter & Kilo 🐕🐕”
“Abi was terrific! Very quick in responses and great with all her communications. She did a fantastic job and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. I am definitely going to be using her services again!”
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
About: I grew up owning dogs my whole life. Many friends, neighbors, and family members have relied on me in the past to watch over their furbabies. I’m honest, dependable, compassionate, and will put the safety of your pet first. I have great time management and will always be on time. I offer a variety of experience to show your pet! I can walk, run, play, water, feed, or whatever I am needed to do. :) I am a 25 year old college student working on my graduate degree in Counseling. I don’t currently work so I have all day to care for your furbabies! You and I can work together to create or schedule that suits you. I conduct drop-ins! I can care for your pet in your home when needed. I will make sure they receive adequate potty breaks, food and water on your suggested schedule, and they will have someone to snuggle or walk with! I’m currently a grad student working part-time in the Jefferson City area! Would love to add stops to my day to play or walk your furbabies!! I can crate your dog if needed. We can walk safely down the road that you suggest! I can take them to a nearby park if needed for an additional fee. We can play in your backyard or in the house— whatever your preferences are! We will have safe fun regardless.
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”
About: My husband and I have always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up around pets taught us both how to care for them with patience and love. Together, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. We’re comfortable giving medications and sticking to routines. We’re calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets fits naturally into our routine because my husband and I genuinely love spending time with animals. We both work weekdays from 8 AM to 3:30 PM (and until 12 PM on Fridays), so we’re available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Our flexible schedule lets us give pets the attention and consistency they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, check-ins, or overnight care. Whether in our home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. My husband and I follow routines carefully, give lots of love, and let pets adjust at their own pace. We always respect your home and treat your pet like family.
“She stepped in for us last minute and was incredible! Our dogs were so well taken care of, and she kept us updated the whole time which meant a lot. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made it completely stress-free. We’re so thankful she was able to help on short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I love all animals and have experience with caring for multiple animals at once. I have a dog of my own and he loves other animals both cats and dogs and is very friendly. I can provide: • daily walks • dog park visits • playtime • meals • potty breaks I have trained my own dogs since puppy age. If training is needed please let me know. I have experience in giving medication if it is needed as well. I work full time in office. I do have decent flexibility with work and am able to come home for potty breaks. I usually can take a long lunch to at least walk my own dog for some time before returning, so there is no issue exercising the dog mid day. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a dog park and plenty of neighborhoods to walk dogs around. There are many dog parks close by. The home is clean and we keep things out of reach of pets. If at any point I leave the apartment all doors to extra rooms are shut and I turn on some music or tv for some background noise while away.

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.
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 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.
