“Very satisfied. Angela got down to my shy dogs level at the meet & greet and addressed each dog as the individuals they are. She seemed very knowledgeable and comfortable with my dogs. I was able to spend the day away confident that my dogs were being taken care of.”
“Lindsay was amazing! She watched our 3 cats while we were away and took such great care of them. She was extremely prompt on arriving each day and would stay extra long to give them all the attention and love they needed. She would even go out of her way to go find one of them if they were hiding under a bed to make sure they were ok. Our cats all have very different personalities and Lindsay was great at reading those and giving each cat the attention or space it needed. She took all the stress away from us being away and we knew our kitties were in great hands! On top of all the kitty duties, she was also great at grabbing our mail everyday, bringing out trash bins and keeping the house clean and tidy! We would highly recommend Lindsay and use her again! Thanks Lindsay!”
About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.
“Melissa sent me loads of photos and took great care of my 2 year old dog and new, 8-week old puppy. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving them and they were happy, safe, and sound when we returned home :)”
About: Just being around animals makes me happy. I work full time as a vet assistant, but looking for a side job to do here and there. :) ** My schedule varies, please reach out** :) I work full time, long hour days so I do have more days off, currently I am looking for drop ins or walks for now! Safety is #1, communication is a must, being able to get your little fur baby out and about is important and fitting all your needs is as well.
“Jennifer is the best! She goes over and above! I will continue to use her to care for my fur baby! When I travel I’m completely relaxed knowing my pet will get the best care! Makes traveling much nicer for sure! Thanks so much Jen! You’re the best! ❤️”
“Delanie is so sweet and was an instant connection with our sweet boy! She's very affectionate with him and takes great care of him! We appreciate her knowing we don't have to worry about him while we're out!”
“Kelly was great with the dogs - we have two bigger males (70lb husky and 100lb husky mix). It's clear that she really enjoys pets and the dogs had a great time. We will definitely be booking her again. She was very friendly and informative for the visit.”
“Kristina took care of my two kitties, she did a great job, very attentive to details and wrote a detailed report of the cats. She went above and beyond and even cleaned the water fountain. She took pictures of the cats and they were happy! I recommend Kristina if you’re looking for a great cat sitter!”
About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! I provide pet care full time, helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a trip, or to go to work, it makes me happy knowing I can help out people and animals who could use an extra set of hands. I have an active personal life, always making plans friends and family, but offering services on here allows me to plan my leisure time around times I'm needed for pet care. Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm here to help answer anything that could cause you worry. Your pets are part of the family and I understand staying safe is a priority. When I personally am trusted to stay in someone's home, I usually stick around the same area of the house out of habit. I keep food where it belongs to prevent mishaps, and keep things off the floor to prevent injuries of their me or pets. When going for walks I like to stick to trails or sidewalked areas that have decent cell reception, just in case. I keep treats with me, extra bags, and have a phone holder for my wrist so I can have a hand free, especially for dogs who get excited from wildlife and could suddenly pull really hard anytime. I keep a pop up bowl and a bottle for water breaks. Before going for longer walks I touch test the path in case they are too hot. I also have experience putting jackets on dogs in the colder months.
About: Hello! I’m experienced with boarding tasks (feeding, administering medications, etc.), basic training, and in-home pet care. While I can't host pets at my place, I love coming to yours for walks, backyard play sessions, and overnight stays. **Dogs:** Happy to tire them out with walks, play, and potty breaks. **Cats:** Patient and gentle — I'll take the time to earn their trust. Previously worked with a small pet care business visiting clients' homes, so I'm comfortable following your specific instructions and treating your space with respect. Your pet stays happy at home. You stay worry-free. It’s a win-win! I’m currently working part-time at a dog kennel so I’m usually working 2-3, 8 hour or 6 hour shifts a week. If asked about requests in advance, I may be able to request time off to accommodate client needs. I don’t have the room to board dogs or cats in my current situation, however I am very experienced with boarding tasks and basic training. I absolutely love taking walks or just doing some play sessions in the backyard and enjoy getting kitties to warm up to me. I would mainly be looking for walks/play and potty visits, or pet sitting in the owner’s home.
About: I was raised with many different types of animals ranging from Dogs and Cats to amphibians and reptiles. Growing up I always had a passion for all species of animals, growing a hobby for the outdoors and all the wildlife that came with it, I have worked with rescue and rehabs for over 10 years. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 reptiles and 2 amphibians. There’s nothing I enjoy more than taking my dogs on walks to keep them mentally stimulated while also getting some extra exercise after play time. There’s nothing more important to myself as a pet owner to know that my dog can go to sleep happy every night. I love incorporating mentally stimulating puzzles and games for my dogs to enjoy. Many times I find a shorter walk with more brain games exerts my puppy’s energy much faster than physically running her. I have cared for young puppy’s and kittens who need to be bottle fed, senior pets that need diapers and special treatment as well as all ages, shapes and sizes between the two. I also have my fair share of experience with exotic animals including but not limited to, bearded dragons, whites tree frogs, pacman frogs, Chinese water dragons, Leopard Geckos, Tomato frogs, Russian tortoises, ball pythons, corn snakes, Multiple tree frog species as well as multiple common toad species, fish, small animals including, mice, rats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and ferrets. I have experience caring for some large animals under the supervision of a professional, horses, cattle, goats, sheep, alpacas and pigs. Some minor experience caring for poultry including, Guinea foul, hens, and geese. Pet Care has always been on the top of my to do list since I was a young child through adulthood. I provide exceptional care for all animals no matter the feat. I have worked with boarding facilities doing minor training, grooming as well as sanitation ensuring that surfaces are properly disinfected as well as administering oral medications. When caring for your pet I would provide them with love and affection just as I would my own as well as follow any and all guidelines instructed to me, I would ensure the utmost respect and care for your home and your family members. I have been told by past clients that I go above and beyond when it comes to caring for their animals.

About: All my life I’ve been surrounded by pups! I can help walk, feed, or take them out for potty breaks!

My job would only be to care for doggos, & respect your belongings truthfully .
“We used Kristy for a last minute drop-in visit for our 10 week old puppy. Kristy was responsive to our inquiry and we arranged a meet and greet for the same day. We immediately felt at ease after meeting Kristy and both of our dogs loved her! Even though we were only gone a few hours, Kristy provided us with several updates and pictures to ease any concerns about being away from our puppy for the first time. She took great care of our dogs and our home during the drop-in visit.”

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.

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.
