“Meagan was a very good drop-in caretaker for my older cat. She worked with us during a last minute booking. She's very good about sending both goofy and good-looking pictures of the animals. She is a very busy rover, so expect some mild changes in the pre-set schedule just as she moves around her day. Very good Rover regardless!”
“This is the second time Melissa has watched our bunnies and she was always on time, communicated well, and took excellent care of our babies. We couldn’t ask for more!”
About: I have had animals since I was a child. There’s not been a time in my adult life that I haven’t had pets. My husband was a dog trainer in the military for 11 years and has been evicted for the last 10 years. We currently have three dogs and two cats and they are well loved and well cared for. I am currently in the military and I have been for 18 years. Therefore, I understand the struggles of having a pet and having to leave at her moments notice and not having family around to help you. So I would love to hope any families care for their animal babies. I have a fenced yard. I have dog kennels andI have cat kennels to keep the dogs and cats safe. Additionally, all my animals are microchip.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to birds and horses since I was a young girl. My neighbors have trusted me with pet care for years. I most recently have been working for a pet sitting company in North Carolina before moving to Virginia and received multiple five star reviews. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of as I treat them as they are my own. I currently have a full time job with two to three full days off and lots of flexibility during the mornings and late evenings to stop in and do visits.

I will take care of the animal’s needs like they are my pets keeping their health and safety my priority.

I’m an assistant manager for a camp-resort, so I am known for my energy, dedication to any job, and kind heart. I’m looking forward to finding new opportunities to care for other people by allowing them to peacefully enjoy their time away, knowing their home and (pet) family is taken care of.

After having been a house + pet sitter for a few years, I make sure I am fully aware of all of your pet needs. I ensure I know who and where your vet is, how they interact with other pets, and will communicate with you as often or little as you’d like while you’re away. I’m an energetic homebody, so can cater to all kinds of pet needs.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and know firsthand what it means to love a pet like family. Over the past two years, I’ve had the joy of regularly pet sitting for two rescue dogs, giving them the patience, comfort, and care they deserve.

Whether your pet needs a walk, a sleepover, or just some company while you’re gone, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Your furry family members are in good hands!

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.

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.
