About: I moved to the area with my little shadow, Winnifred, from Spokane, where I lived on a large ranch working with cattle, horses, pigs, alpacas, working dogs, sheep and all kinds of other interesting critters! I have an abundance of animal experience, especially with large dogs, as I have owned and worked with bloodhounds. I have experience administering medicine, tending to injuries, and handling difficult animals with positive reinforcement. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs, cats, large and exotic animals! My pomchi Winnie is a great girl to have around if you need some socializing experience for your pup! She is sweet and friendly and loves to go on any adventure plus is up to date on all her shots! I am available most days for walks and check-in services from 7am to 9pm! Short notice is usually fine as well and I am happy to adjust my schedule as needed. I have several animals, including an aquarium and snake, which take careful monitoring to provide the correct environment. I take that same care into how I look after all my animals. I worked at a vet for several years and am aware of signs of sickness, anxiety, and joy.
About: I many years of pet care experience for my neighbors, friends, and family. I have done check-ins, overnight stays, and dog walking. I have cared for many breeds and types of animals. I also have a dog and cat of my own! I work in education, and have the summer off, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have a very flexible schedule. I am only available to care for pets in your home and dog walking in your neighborhood. I would also be open to taking your pet on an outing, such as a park if requested.
“Andrielle did an amazing job taking care of Cleo, as well as bringing in mail & deliveries & watering plants! Cleo was happy when I got home which says a lot about being taken care of by someone new. I highly recommend Andrielle!”

“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”
About: I’m attentive and patient with your fur babies. I will spoil them rotten with grooming, loving kindness, plenty of walks, and meals (medication) on time. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your babies. I’m also available for weekends and odd hours if you work at night… I will care for your pets and follow your directions if they have medications or a need for an extra long walk around the neighborhood.
About: My name is Kelly and I’ve been caring for pups for 5 years, and behavior coach and trainer for 2. My passions focus on giving each pup the best experience, whether that’s through enrichment games, cuddles, or extra walks. You’ll feel like you never left with plenty of pupdates I’ll send your way. In my free time, you’ll find me training at the rescue and helping pups find their furever homes or working with kids. I provide a hands-on experience with my pups I care for, anticipating that I’ll work with various ages or needs. I can be as involved as you need me. Unfortunately my pet boardings are on hold for now. I currently provide house sittings, walks, and drop-ins. When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need! I am a very interactive and engaged pet sitter who believes pets are more than just animals, they’re cherished members of the family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.
“Tatiana was amazing! Not only did she take great care of our cat while we were gone, she always made sure that our cat always had clean water and litter box, and even cleaned the living area and made our bed! Tatiana went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy at all times, and she genuinely cared about our cat as if it were part of her own family. I can’t recommend Tatiana enough.”
“Daria was fantastic and we highly recommend her. We have a large golden who likes to tug on the leash every so often and she was amazing with him. She took him for walk each day sent us photos of each walk. Even took time to brush him and play with him! We could not be happier with Daria.”

Kelly was wonderful. My cat seemed to like her right away and she made sure to update me throughout my time away and sent photos. I felt very calm knowing someone kind and responsible was caring for my cat while I was away. Would recommend her services to anyone in need.
Amanda was a great pet sitter for our cat! She was there on time and stayed for the full duration of each booking. We loved the different updates and pictures she sent with each visit, she was there to spend time with him. We could tell our cat warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company, which put us at ease during vacation. Will definitely be booking her again.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
