“Carol has been a wonderful friend to my dog so far. Carol is super sweet and clearly loves dogs a lot. She is experienced enough to make proper decisions without calling but thoughtful enough to give detailed updates. I look forward to continuing to use Carols services.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My journey started with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family in middle school and grew to volunteering at local animal shelters and working in a boarding kennel to currently working as a vet assistant while at school, pursing a pre-veterinary science degree, giving me experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. At home I have a 14 year old beagle/boston terrier named Pepper who I just adore. I cannot wait to share my experience and love for animals with your pets while you are away :) As I am currently a junior pre-vet at UMass Amherst, my availability lies around my class schedule. I am available most evenings and weekends as well as most early mornings; however, my availability in the middle of the day is a little more limited. Feel free to reach out with times you were looking for, and I'd love to see if I can make it work! I understand that it can be strange for our pets when a new person comes in the house, so I encourage owners to reach out to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet your four legged friends before you are gone, making the process less stressful for everyone involved.

I will be available most afternoons and evenings during the week and anytime during the weekends.

During school breaks I am available most times during the day both weekdays and weekends(I am more than willing to discuss more in detail with specifics if needed). While back at school I am available in late afternoons during week days and most of the day during weekends. I also am not able to keep your furry friend at my home for extended periods of time, but I am more than willing to go hangout with your pal in their own home. I have my own car with a pet seat cover if needed so I am able to take the higher energy pups on some hikes or more interesting adventures.

Also don't worry about bathroom breaks I will make sure that whoever needs it can go outside whenever needed.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10. Most of my experience has come from helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets when they need someone they can trust. I’ve taken care of pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes each one comfortable and happy. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, feed them, give them attention, or just keep them company, and I’m just as comfortable spending time with cats and making sure they get the care and attention they need.

“Kiersten was very prompt. Spent the agreed amount of time with our dog. Everything was done according to directions. Our dog, who can be skittish with some people, enjoyed her visit.”
About: I’ve had my amazing dog Nalu for almost 5 years and have also been a dog walker for people in my life and neighborhood for multiple years. I love all animals, especially dogs! I am a college student who loves dog walking, so it fits perfectly into my routine! I love being around dogs and being outside so it is the perfect job for me!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leverett
We are so grateful that Catherine was able to care for our cats while we were away. We had a pre-trip visit and she was attentive to both cats' personalities and preferences, as well as our questions about leaving them at home with drop-in visits for the first time. Catherine's experience caring for cats was clear. During our time away, we received updates, photos, and videos from each of her visits that left us feeling assured that our cats were happy, active, and engaged. This whole experience left us feeling very comfortable and we will definitely seek out Catherine's services again.
Hiring Ian is one of the best decisions you can make for your pet! Not only does he have a flexible schedule and great availability for last-minute visits, but he also follows directions to the letter, is reliable, and your dog will love him (even our reactive dog loves him). He also sends great updates with amazing photos to gush over. We always feel safe leaving our dog and our home in his hands, whether it’s for a midday walk or an extended vacation.

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
