“We had a great experience with our new dog sitter, Sonya! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, making sure he was fed, walked and given plenty of attention and playtime. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She was reliable, caring and went above and beyond. Thank you, Sonya!”
“Lauren is a fantastic communicator and I would not hesitate to use her services again. She dropped in on my cats while I was away for over a week. Lauren showed up at the same time everyday giving me peace of mind. Thanks Lauren!”
About: Hi, i’m Allison! I have loved and cared for animals for almost my entire life. I had two cats that I got at 10 years old and cared for up until they passed away just a couple of years ago. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which means I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks and belly rubs to your furry dependents! I understand that routine is key and will make sure to keep your pet’s normal routine of feedings, walks and anything else that is needed. I will also make sure to take photos and send updates each visit to give you that peace of mind that they are happy and healthy! While my experience is mainly with cats, I have done visits for family/friends’ dogs for feedings and walks. Happy to do a free meet-and-greet before you book! I am currently a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Early mornings and evenings are preferred, but with advanced notice I can make times in between work. I will make sure all doors and gates are locked, clean up any messes, and make sure they always have fresh food/water and clean literboxes. For long trips away, I can help with minor chores like bringing the mail in or taking out trash bins.
“Cindy dropped in to feed my feline babes while I was out of town for a couple days. She was very communicative prior to and during the visit. So sweet and took plenty of pictures to reassure me my boys were happy and taken care of. I will absolutely be requesting Cindy when I leave town next time.”

About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! I’m happy to walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and send plenty of updates and pictures along the way. My goal is simple: you feel comfortable while you’re away, and your pup gets a new friend who is genuinely excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine whenever possible, whether they need an energetic walk or just some company and attention while their person is away.

About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.
“Sarah is wonderful with my two cats! I can see it after she sends me pictures of them. She plays with them, brushes them, and refreshes their water. She also has been a huge help while I have been in the hospital. You can trust that your pet is well cared for by Sarah.”
“Ameneh was so easy to work with! She provided great daily updates on our loves as well as an unexpected update on our home- a neighbors tree fell and blocked our driveway! Our little loves were well cared for and I will definitely look to book her again!”
About: I have a variety of experience with dogs of every age, breed, and temperament. A few years ago, I cared for my senior dog and helped him with mobility, comfort, and daily medical routines. Now, I’m caring for two young dogs (ages 2 & 3) that I’ve trained myself from when they were puppies. Along with personal experience, I have school-based veterinary training, including first aid, administering medications, and knowledge with health concerns. I also spent a year working as a professional dog walker at a boarding facility to learn professionalism. Overall, I have a mix of compassion, knowledge, and training to give every pet the proper care. I am a student currently, so I’m available anytime from 3pm-10pm on weekdays or anytime from 7am-10pm on the weekends. I give myself a wide range of availability so I am able to take longer visits, multiple walks, and provide more flexibility in scheduling. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow their routines exactly, pay close attention to their comfort, and make sure they feel happy. On walks, I use secure leashes and stay attentive at all times. In client homes, I’m careful with doors, gates, and belongings, prioritizing pet safety. My goal is to create a safe, caring environment where I can build trusting relationships with each pet.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have over 6 years of experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets company. My background in caregiving has taught me to be patient, attentive, and dependable, especially when caring for pets with unique needs or routines. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m available for pet care primarily in the mornings and around midday, generally between 9 AM and 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of your space and will follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your pets receive attentive, loving care and are safe and comfortable throughout each visit.
“Angel went above and beyond in her care for our pets. One of our Guinea Pigs was actually pregnant and gave birth while we were away- none of us expected or had experienced this before- and Angel herself works mostly with cats and dogs but she handled it like a pro! She took such great care of all of the babies and sent us pictures and videos every day as requested, which was so fun for my kids because they wanted to be there. She bought more veggies for them as needed and kept their cages very clean. I will definitely be using Angel again in the future and I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a mother of four. I have a dog named Dixie. She is a German Shepherd and loving.I used to have a full bred pit, but we had to give him away due to living situations.I like when the owners leave me a note or text just briefly about their pets normal routine so I can make their fur babies feel safe and comfortable around me. Playing with their fur babies on their level is important so they understand I'm friendly and harmless. Taking them outside is very important to me,they get fresh air and exercise as well. I just feel it is important any pet understands and feels as they are family.To me every pet is worth spending time with, getting to know them and love them. Have a blessed day! My puppy herself is high maintenance and has lots of energy. Taking care of her has helped me learn how to manage time more wisely and be able to challenge her while on walks. I take their pets on walks, depending on what their pet is. Honestly it all depends on their daily routine. I wouldn't want to change anything that their pet is used to so I would go off what their owner tells me their pets routine is.
About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Linganore-Bartonsville
Misty once again exceeded our expectations. 💕Unfortunately the week before we had to leave for an out of town wedding, Ellie had come down with double ear infections that required her to get ear drops twice a day. Misty assured us that she would have it under control and we trusted her based on all of experience with her. She kept us up to date on how both girls were doing while we were away. And Ellie looks and is acting like her self before her ear infections. We highly recommend Misty to everyone we know. She is the best in the business!😺🏆
We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
