About: I have taken care of dogs since I graduated college. I have raised, trained and loved dogs from puppies to elder dogs and enjoyed every minute. I have also fostered dogs and volunteered at my local rescue organization. I currently work part-time it would be available in the afternoon and evening hours and weekends. I am comfortable walking in all weather too! Happy to also snuggle and provide comfort to anxious and skittish pets too. I am very diligent to make sure all pets have what they need. For example, making sure they have fresh water, clean paws for your home and a good walk is the priority! Having been a Rover client myself; I value clear and meaningful communication with the owners too to make sure everyone is comfortable and feels safe.

“Delaney was great from start to finish! We were able to coordinate a meet & greet prior to the requested booking dates to ensure both parties got along well. My cat was well taken care of - and Delaney even helped out with the mail and weekly garbage/recycling pick up. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing their cat cared for while they’re away.”

“Chris was very patient in trying to convince my shy cats to come out of their shells and he exceeded! He's a very conscientious cat sitter into great care of my house and my cats! I recommend him to anyone!”

“Jessica saved me by being able to look in on our boys on a really short notice. Thank you Jessica! Communication was great and she let us know each time when she was on her way to check in on the dogs. Shortly after that she sent us pictures of them each time. It was a comfort knowing that Jessica was taking such good care of them while we were away. I will definitely use Jessica again in the future.”

I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and treat every animal in my care with patience, affection, and respect. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and critters, not just dogs and cats and I believe every dog deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of breed, or size. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your furry family member! I make my own schedule at work, so am able to put your animal friend first and foremost! I'm here for you, rain or shine! As your sitter, I happily follow any and all instructions to the letter. Written, or verbal rules accommodated equally. I'm happy to have video chats with you when in your place of residence to ensure your animal friends you're always nearby.

“Hope was my first Rover booking and I was a little nervous. She helped allay my fears and worked to make. My cats fell at ease. They were well taken care of and miss seeing her already.”

About: I have dog sat for my in laws multiple times for 3 weeks at a time. I have been dog walking for multiple years. I love spending time with pets especially when I get to play with them. I’m extremely reliable and extremely punctual. I’m a stay at home mom during the summer months. I love waking up early. My kids are older so they are more independent. I have 4 cats and an outside cat I adopted. Unfortunately I would not be able to care for a pet at my house but do not mind going to other people’s houses and taking care of them of their pets.
“Michael is great - we have used him a couple of times. He is very responsive when communicating and our two dogs really like him (and they aren't the easiest of dogs to sit for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Anastasiia was wonderful! Our cat was not feeling well right before my trip. Anastasia graciously agreed to take the cat to the vet, got the medication and administered it. She made sure our cat was as comfortable as possible.”

About: I have been born and raised taking care of dogs and having them in my family. I was raised with a Border Collie mix named Misty. Then, for 15 years I had a Labradoodle named Ferbie. He was a precious soul and wonderful playmate. I love to entertain and keep active/playful with all the pups I have the blessing of watching. I attend to rules and respect all wishes. I work part time at the moment so I have flexibility throughout my days to take breaks. I also work remotely so I have the ability to travel around the suburbs. I follow all household procedures. I think safety is the biggest priority and it is crucial for pet sitting. The space and animal(s) must always be kept safe and prioritized first in every situation.

Doug did a wonderful job caring for my cats while I was away for a three-day weekend. He sent me photos every day, which I really appreciated and which also gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. He was reliable and thoughtful, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
