About: Sam and I have been passionate animal lovers our entire lives and have cared for both dogs and cats since we were young. We're comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. We have two friendly dogs of our own, so it's important that any furry guests staying with us are comfortable around other animals. We understand that every pet has unique needs, and we'll treat your furry family member with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. Between Sam and I, there will always be someone home with your pup to provide lots of love and attention. Our dogs Loki and Genki will be thrilled to have new friends stay over that they can play with. Our home is designed to be a comfortable place where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys throughout the house, and lots of cozy spots for lounging. Whether your pup enjoys a game of fetch, playing with toys, or simply curling up for a nap, we'll make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. We also share our home with two cats who generally keep to themselves. If your dog is comfortable around cats, they'll be welcome to enjoy full access to our home. If not, that's absolutely no problem—we can easily keep your pup separated from the areas where our cats spend their time to ensure everyone stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Rose was wonderful! She gave the cutest updates about our little eggy and took photos to add! Not only did she clean our litter box daily but she also brought in our packages we got, how nice is that!? We would recommend her for sure and she’ll be our go to for our next trip without our kitty!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid —cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own! I work weird hours and days so I’m available at times most people aren’t! If you’re looking for someone that will be in town during holidays, that would be me! I understand every pet is different and might take time to adjust. I care about sticking to a schedule and keeping the pets feeling cared about regarding routine, habits, medications, and whatever else they might need. I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid growing up on a farm- cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own!
“Provides exceptional service to our pups. She sends us great pictures, descriptive updates, and offers to do more than what was initially requested. Our dogs love Heather. She treats them like they are her own, and we could not be more grateful!”
“Mandi was amazing!!! Mandi watched our sweet 10-year-old Maine Coon mix boy, Poseidon. Mandi was responsive, attentive, and our boy LOVED every visit!!! We also got the cutest updates and best photos too!!! We will definitely be booking with Mandi again and truly couldn’t be more grateful for all the love and attention Mandi gave our boy during our absence!!!! Thank you so much, Mandi!!!!!!”
“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
“Cassie was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and did all the things we asked. She provided great updates and was communicative and supportive throughout the weekend! Highly recommend her!! Will be asking her to watch our cats again!”
“Kathy was so great dropping in with our 2 pups! We booked with Grover only 1 week before leaving over the Christmas holiday and she met with us right away so we had no worries leaving. We had a change in plans and didn't need her the last day and apologize for the mess up. Definitely will use her services again🐾”
“Danielle took wonderful care of our kitten. She always arrived on time, checked carefully on our kitten’s well-being, and made a sincere effort to keep us updated throughout the day. We really appreciated her reliability and kindness!”
About: I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs like chihuahuas to pitbulls I’ve watched my sisters dogs over the past years she trust me and i’ve always keep her updated on how her dogs are doing I provide daily photos and videos of her dogs so that she is comfortable and aware of how her doggies are doing I have two dogs of my own and I try my best to keep them happy and active just like I would with any other pets! I’m currently working a full time job, I could do mornings and evening and most weekends I’m always mostly have weekends off my full time time! I’ve dog sat for my sister and normally I follow their schedule/ instructions but I also love to add playtime and keep the dogs nice and healthy and I try to be as comforting and helpful to them
“Andrhu was so kind and flexible. When access to the house was unavailable, at my poor planning, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. It is more appreciated than he may know. He was very thorough as well during his drop in visits for our 2 pups.”
“We couldn't be more thankful to have found Lauren and Ernest! Our 3 kitties can be a handful but they love both Lauren and Ernest and look forward to their visits while we are away. They're both very communicative, send great updates, and go above and beyond. This is our 3rd time working with them and they'll be out go to pet sitters every time we need one. Highly recommend!”
About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

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.
