“Andrew took great care of Shadow while we were out of town. He sent updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind. He even braved the April snow storm to make sure Shadow was taken care of. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home.”
“My brother passed away in an accident Sunday, and my husband and I had to travel to the Midwest on short notice. We contacted Cynthia that day and she was able to do two drop-in visits for our cats at the last minute. She was super accommodating and, as always, took excellent care of our kitties.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. But I love all animals. I have pet sat for several family friends so I am used to adapting to animal needs. Whether it be a dog, cat, or fish, I am happy to provide care and entertainment to your pet. Currently I am in grad school so I do have some classes, however there is a lot of availability in my schedule especially if you are looking for furry friend to go on a late afternoon walk. If I am in a client’s home I will always make sure to either have your pet on a leash or in a fenced in area, depending on permissions. My go to is follow the owner’s instructions, and if something comes up I will ask or take the safest option (ie leash always while outside). If a client’s pet is to stay with me, I do have a small dog park I can take them to.

Taking them on long walks or car rides. giving lots of treats for good behavior. i have had animals off all ages so I'm ready for anything, plus i can do cats as well I Currently work part time, so usually I go on a nice long walk and give my dog undivided attention. I try for a walk every day of the week if can because its exercise for me and the animals. I can even go hiking should it be needed. I have a x pen' d yard and 1 other animal in the house so generally I will come to you for service, as it would be hard on my pets. Plus its a small condo and space is limited.
“Mary Elizabeth is always wonderful to have as a sitter. She is communicative and so knowledgeable with our boys. She helped our elderly dog eat more, which he has been needing to do, and helped keep it cool in our house during a heat wave. She clearly cares about all the animals she is in charge of, and it’s great to always know our boys are in good hands.”

About: In every pet care experience, I strive to create a special bond with each furry friend. As soon as I step into a home, my love for animals guides every interaction. Whether it's a playful pup or a laid-back cat, I approach them with a gentle demeanor, earning their trust from the start. Detail-oriented care is my priority. I meticulously follow every pet owner's instructions, ensuring that dietary preferences, playtime routines, and medication schedules are all handled with precision. Beyond the basics, I love introducing new toys and engaging activities tailored to each pet's unique personality. Creating a stimulating environment is key to making their time with me enjoyable and enriching. Communication is at the heart of what I do. I understand the importance of keeping pet owners in the loop, and I send regular updates complete with adorable photos. It's not just about providing information; it's about sharing the joy and special moments that make each pet unique. Handling unexpected situations is part of the job, and I take it in stride. Remaining calm and resourceful, I prioritize the well-being of the pets in my care. My goal is for pet owners to return to happy, healthy animals and a positive, trustworthy experience. Being a pet caregiver isn't just a service; it's a commitment to fostering a loving and secure environment for each furry companion. With a cat and dog, feed and provide fresh water, clean the litter box, and spend quality time playing or interacting. Regular health checks and grooming are essential. Adjust your routine to accommodate these responsibilities, fostering a healthy and happy environment. Caring for the owner's dogs and cats is a responsibility I take seriously. In my home or theirs, I create a cozy atmosphere with dedicated spots for each pet. I stick to their feeding routine, ensuring they always have fresh water. Playtime and walks are non-negotiable for keeping them happy. Monitoring their health is a priority, including any needed medications. I strive to keep the living space clean and communicate closely with the owners about their pets' preferences and specific care instructions.
About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
“Jamie is very reliable and goes above and beyond at each visit to make sure our dog is comfortable and cared for. Our dog can be slightly skiddish but she is extremely patient and understands dogs, especially rescues, at a deeper level. She is trustworthy and kind which is all you can ask for when having someone care for your best friend ? highly recommend her to anyone who is hesitant in hiring someone to take care of their dog because she will make even the most shy of dogs her best friend.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
