About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
“Hannah was a wonderful sitter! My shy girl warmed up to her by the second day and came out of hiding. That made me feel so much better being away and knowing that she wasn’t scared. Hannah communicated well and kept me updated, and she also did (what some may consider) minor things like opening the blinds for Purrkinje.💓”
About: I have taken care of dogs professionally for 5 years, but have been studying and caring for dogs all my life! I am able to walk dogs of all sizes, administer medications (including insulin and related meds), cut nails, bathe dogs, and do basic training. I am a college student and I also work a part-time job, but I am am away at most for six hours of the day and can come by anytime between school and my job! I will be able to conduct house sitting activities such as basic cleaning, collecting the mail, and any chores in addition to pet care. While your babies are with me, I can guarantee you quality care and love, of course!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since early childhood. Between walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve cared for pups since I can remember. I have two mix breed babies at home. I am a writer with an 11 year old child. So taking your pets for a walk would be a nice break in my day! I have a large yard, and two medium sized fur dogs that love to play. I can also keep them separate if need be or even crate.
About: I have been around many different types of dogs and cats since I was young. I love animals and have never had any issue taking care of neighbors or friends pets. I adopted a kitten of my own a few months ago and she is the sweetest! I currently work 2 part time jobs and I am a full time nursing student. However I am very hard working and will have time to take care of your animal in anyway it needs. Drop by visits are best but if your animal needs an overnight watch I am more than happy to stay there. I can easily make sure the dogs or cats are safe and if they need to be crated it will be no issue at all! I am very good with handling pets even difficult ones and puppies.
“Heather did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies. She was very respectful, quick to respond, and super flexible with our schedule. She maintained constant communication and provided daily photo check-ins. Will recommend to anyone looking to board their pets. Thank you Heather!”

About: Hi! My name is Crissy. I’m a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience, so caring for others—two-legged and four-legged—comes naturally to me. I don’t have any little ones of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and some extra time to share with yours. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. When your little one is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own basked in love, spoiled with attention, and cared for with patience and kindness. Whether you’re working a long shift, away for the day, or simply need an extra helping hand, I’d be honored to be someone you can trust with a member of your family. I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s) soon! 🐾 My schedule allows me to build pet care naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether you need care while you’re working, away for the day, or out of town, I’ll make sure your little one gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In your home, I will respect both your pet’s routine and your space, following all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions as closely as possible. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything that may indicate your pet is uncomfortable or needs extra attention. My background as a Sheriff’s Deputy, EMT-I, and my veterinary care experience have taught me to stay calm, observant, dependable, and prepared when something unexpected happens. I also take the security of your home seriously. Doors, gates, leashes, and any special safety instructions will always be double-checked. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your little one is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, a quiet companion, or simply someone to keep their normal routine intact, I’ll meet them where they are and care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
“Samantha went above and beyond what I was hoping for with her services! She made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She replies very quickly and was able to meet all of our needs. She spent time with my pups and played with them. She had no issues administering oral medication to both of my large dogs. Also, I have been able to get great service even with short notice bookings. I will definitely use Samantha regularly and I recommend anyone else to do so as well.”

Evan is a great sitter! He did some drop-in visits for my retired working dog and cat over the weekend. My dog, Drago, immediately liked him. Evan was always on time and made sure both pets got their food and proper meds and then spent time playing with Drago too! I’ll be asking Evan back again for sure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
