“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”
“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”
“Jessie came for a meet & greet on very short notice. She had a notebook and asked the proper questions, dogs loved her. Very happy to have found her and feel like the dogs are in good hands for their upcoming visit with her!”
About: I've taken care of cats since five years ago. We have our own cat, Puffy, and also take care of our friends' cats from time to time. My two boys are both cat lovers and very helpful for taking care of cats. I'm working parttime at home, so I am at home most of the time. My schedule is very flexible and should be able to fit your needs. We have a single house, which provide plenty of space for cats to explore. We will clean the litter box every day for your cats. We also have plenty of toys for your cats to play with.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I've owned dogs all my adult life. I currently have 2 dogs, Layla is 1/2 boarder collie and 1/2 golden retriever and Luna is 1/2 golden retriever and 1/2 black lab. I can stop in and play with your furry friend(s), walk them, feed them or just hang out with them. I recently retired so my availability is open. I recently retired so my availability is open. Taking car of your dog will bring joy to my day and give me variety and something to look forward to. I can walk your dog, take them in and out of a crate if necessary. I can feed them and/or give them any necessary medications.
About: I’ve never lived without a dog in my home in my 22 years and began pet sitting for others at age 10. Working with dogs through friends, family, and even strangers I’ve found a love for sharing my time with your furry companions. I hope to get to share with your pets many of the great outdoor spaces I’ve enjoyed for years in this area! I’m teaching in State College at the local schools. Staying local with plenty of early evenings off and weekend availability, I’m able to take on same day bookings as well as alter my afternoon and weekend schedule with some advance notice. While I cannot care for your companions in my home, I have spent years working with dog of varying size and in a multitude of different situations. I’m well equipped to handle large dogs as well as small dogs with big personalities! I have been with dogs that walk on and off leash as well as reactive dogs and understand that each one requires adjustment according to mood and location and am prepared to make them as comfortable as possible wherever we are.
About: I grew up with a boxer-mix her name was Ruby (she unfourtently passed away:( I also volunteer at the local shelter near my college where I walk all kinds of dogs all ages. I feed them, walk/ play with them, and make sure they are healthy. I attend Penn State University and volunteer at Centre County Paws. I am a full time student at Penn State University studying biology. Although I am studying a good amount, I have a pretty light schedule Tuesdays and Thursdays and anytime after 2 pm Monday Wednesdays and Fridays. I find that caring for pets is a nice break from all of the studying and stress of school and am more than willing to taking a few hours out of my day to interact with dogs or cats. At Penn State, I live in a pet friendly apartment and right next to a neighborhood where I could take dogs for walks. Back at home, I have a fenced in yard, and we took my dog, Ruby to the beach, for walks, and to the park once or twice a day! Unfortunately my fur baby passed from cancer last year so I have missed being able to take her for walks. At the shelter I volunteer at, (Centre County Paws) I take 2-3 dogs for walks and make sure that the dogs all have their meals, water, and that their bowel movements are looking good and if not I will take note of that!
“Samantha was great with our older cats that needed to be split up during our trip. She let them see each other during he visit and gave them each the food and care needed.”
About: Growing up with dogs all my life along with my animal science major I well versed in medication routines, early morning to late night potty breaks, special dietary needs to the ones who have been loved past their youth and need a little extra care. I’ve been bit, scratched, slobbered and thrown up on and there is nothing too much to handle I’m working part time at a restaurant however I am more than willing to make time during off days for your fur-babies, walks and regular exercise, quick check ins and long stays I will make time to do. Pets are watched closely, mostly nearly medication administration and meal time. If desired I can feed at specific times and can adapt a medication schedule periodically for any and all fur babies.
About: Big or small, I’ve probably kissed it on the nose! My vet hospital experience gives me the ability to acknowledge changes in each species better than most. I’m a lover of horses and cows, so big dogs wouldn’t be any different for me. I’m happy to administer medications, keep up with a training schedule/routine, keep up with their energy needs by going to the dog park or walks, etc. I’m known to be a confident, compassionate, and reliable person with animals. I’m a morning person! I’m available most mornings and evenings. My class schedule doesn’t have me on campus for extended periods of time. I don’t have classes on Fridays and am looking to do this as my main income source! I will happily respect your house rules, but I could cuddle all day long with the fur balls! Growing up, I was totally guilty of letting my dog in bed and giving some human food. Now, I understand the importance of discipline and routine. I’m happy to follow your routine and give ample pet kisses along the way! I am sure to treat every pet as my own. If I notice a lump, bump, cut, etc. I’m never one to assume you already know about it. Their happiness and health is my top priority.
“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”

About: My whole life surrounds around animals. I’ve had three dogs and two cats growing up. I love to train and get to know puppies! Thank you! I’m on summer break from Penn State University, so my schedule is completely open! I can be anywhere you need as often as you would like! I will make sure to keep along with your pets schedules! I love going for walks and enjoying the outside! Let me know if you need anything specific
“Tara is warm, friendly, and reliable. She consistently checked in on my cat over several weeks and quickly became a wonderful companion for him. Tara kept me updated with timely communication and showed great responsibility throughout. I will definitely request her help again in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Julian
Couldn't recommend Rachel highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with things I needed help with. She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you're looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) l'd definitely recommend Rachel.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Julian stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
