“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”
“Ruth was simply amazing! From the contact with me, to all the amazing time she spent with my cats! I couldn't recommend her any higher than 5 stars, but she deserves 100! Even my shy cat came out to great her a few times! She gave me peace of mind that my cats were well cared for and safe!”
“I booked her literally for a 6 minute meet and greet on the first visit. I’m very pleased that she agreed to this because I’ve had other people tell me no before. I’m excited to use Isabella’s services!”

About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.
“Matt and Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. It was so great getting pictures everyday and they took so many great ones! It’s nice not having to worry that your pets are fed and taken care of. I’d definitely ask for them again!”
“They are very easy to work with, very friendly, and they are good about special requests. Plus my cat doesn't hate them and attack them on sight like some other sitters, so they are definitely good people - always trust your pet's instincts about people!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now. Mostly, they’ve been personal/family pets that I’ve given love and care too. In my time, I’ve cared for two cats and two dogs, as well a neighbor asking me to check in on her cats. I am currently a middle school teacher, so I can board after 4PM on weekdays and am fully available on weekends for services including boarding. During summer and winter break, I am fully available all days of the week. I have a fenced in yard that provides a safe place for dogs to run, play, and use the bathroom. Cats are provided a regularly cleaned space to use the bathroom and a ton of toys that were gifted by a coworker. Both cats and dogs have clearly designated feeding areas so they don’t have to worry about other animals taking from their plates.
About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. I generally just do it as a favor for friends and relatives. I currently own two dogs. I’m good with any age of a dog or cat. I work everyday during the week. However, I do have time on my lunch break to let animals out depending on the distance. I’m free after 4:30 on business days and 3 on weekends. I don’t have a problem staying the night at someone’s house if it’s needed. I cannot currently dog sit at my house due to one of my dogs being aggressive. He’s very slow to warm up and I don’t want to chance it.
About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.
“Ryan was great with our two babies. Chance can take awhile to warm up to new people but he was extremely patient with him and by the end Chance was happy he was around. Shadow enjoyed having him around but she enjoys everyone. Overall Ryan has the right temperament for taking care of animals of any type and we will definitely book him again for future needs.”
About: I’ve pet sat for a teacher, best friend and my aunt. I’ve worked with reactive dogs and dogs of different sizes and backgrounds, even mine. With every animal that I work with and take care of, I treat them like my own. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals thanks to working at pet supermarket. I’m currently not working but I am looking for a job. I’m available everyday, early mornings and evenings Monday - Saturday and all day on Sundays. While in a clients home, I will play your dog(s) for as long as they want with breaks in between. I will keep the house clean from any messes that may be made. While in my care, your pet will be treated with respect and I will love them as my own.
About: Multiple pets growing up. I've had the meanest and shyest animals loving me in a couple days. Military veteran who was taking care of many humans as if they were children/pets. I'm great for if you need to take a weekend trip or short term vacation. !!After 5 days my rate does go up!! My calendar is open for 3 months from the current day. If you need to reserve me for later than that, there will be a reservation charge($50/month past open calendar) . I prefer a planned ahead booking but it doesn't hurt to check last second with me. I'll always try to help if I can! I get along with all animals every day. I am excited to help you take care of your doggo. I follow instructions to the T. Your pet is very important to you and I will make sure they are comfortable/safe. They will be a happier puppy when you see them next!

Jennifer took absolutely wonderful care for my two cats while I was away. They were well-fed, comfortable, and clearly given lots of attention and love.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lakeland Highlands stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
