“Dana took wonderful care of my two fur babies. She was kind and went above and beyond. She made sure she communicated daily with us for updates, giving us peace of mind. I would recommend her to anyone and will certainly rebook for upcoming vacations.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. As a RVT rest assured they will be taken care of while you are gone! I’m happy to exercise and entertain them while you are gone! I do work full time but can offer drop in services before and after work, as well as my lunch break. I am available any day of the week! I am a trained veterinary professional and feel comfortable with most set ups people have. I do not offer in home boarding or overnights. I am happy to work with the clients routine.
About: I have 2 cats I've cared for since they were kittens and they are both extremely happy and healthy. I've helped petsit cats with behavioral issues, helped train my roommates dogs, and our old family dog as well. I've also helped neighbors with their pets since I was very young. I'm currently working part time, so I'm available outside of days I work. When I'm at home, I'm usually doing chores around the house or doing some crafts. Of course if my animals want attention, they get it, and so would yours. If I'm coming into your home to take care of your baby, I will treat the animal and environment respectfully. If your pet is shy, I'd take it slow with them until they were comfortable with me.
About: I have pet sat & house sat the past few years. I worked at an animal shelter & currently work at an animal hospital and look forward to meeting your babies! I am currently working at an animal hospital so my hours are long. I have three days a week off though & would love to fit in your babies during those times. I have every Tuesday & Sunday off & most Saturdays. I am looking to drop in and hang out with your babies as needed. I can provide good quality time & lots of pictures & would treat them like they are my own!
About: I’ve had pets of all shapes and sizes all my life and have been heavily relied on by friends and family for their pets care. I have experience in all stages of life for pets including senior care and medication management. I had a Golden Retriever for 18 years! He had a lot of health problems including a lot of ear surgeries, skin allergies etc. I never gave up on him or any animal! I’m dedicated to providing the best care for animals as I do at the hospital with my patients as a Labor nurse. I’m a Labor nurse and I currently work 3 days a week from 7 am to 7 pm. These days tend to fluctuate but I have 4 days off. This encouraged me to find something I love to do on my free time. I’m flexible as long as the pets are happy and well cared for. I just want them to be okay and the client to be satisfied with the quality of care. My pets are probably more spoiled than most and very high maintenance.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and cats for friends, family, and members of my community. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing fresh water, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, giving plenty of attention and playtime, and following each pet’s specific routine. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their well-being at all times. I am a teacher during the school year and have a flexible schedule during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. During the summer, I have much greater availability and can accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs throughout the day. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, as I have four cats of my own, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet. I provide care in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits and dog walking services. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I work to maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself with four cats, I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care and will treat your pets as if they were my own.
“Vanessa was awesome! She took really good care of Teddy and provided excellent feedback. She was always seeking input on Teddy's likes and needs and willing to take feedback and suggestions.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and care needs. My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.
“Amelia is great! She is reliable and communicates! There was a miscommunication of the dates needed but once we got that sorted everything went smoothly. I will definitely rebook Amelia again ☺️”
“This is the first time Chrissonna took care of my kitties and there will be more times to come. It was not an easy visit, just feeding them, but she had to give Mr Meow, my diabetic cat a shot of insulin. She also played with my kitties and I know they loved it. Thank you Chrissonna!”
“Danielle was great with our cat. She sent pictures every day, as requested, and even a video. We came home to a very happy and well cared for kitty cat. Danielle was easy to work with, always replied to every text or question, was professional, personable and very sweet with our little fur baby. We’ve never used this service before, but we definitely will again, with full confidence. And we’d absolutely book again with Danielle!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for approximately 8 years, beginning in middle school when I started helping my mom care for pets in our community. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I do my best to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed. I am reliable, consistent, and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know what to expect. environment in every visit. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and entry points secure, and treat every home with respect. I also make sure pets are supervised during visits and receive patient, attentive care based on their individual needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: I’m an active sitter who loves getting dogs out and about - park adventures, car rides, and plenty of walks to keep tails wagging. I have cared for dogs of all ages, with experience in senior dog care and pups who need special attention. I’m confident administering medications and keeping every dog comfortable, calm, and on their normal routine. Since I work remotely, your dog gets tons of attention, company, and supervision throughout the day. Whether they’re into slow strolls, goofy quirks, or just hanging out with their favorite human stand -in, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and at home. Flexible. I work remotely. I can provide overnight care in your home or drop in visits/walks as needed. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and administering meds if needed. I currently cannot board pets in my home. I do however have references for house sitting if needed. I can also provide drop in visits/walks.
About: Hi, my names Mary, & I have experiences with pets that I used to own before. I’ve had a lot of cats growing up, a bunch, I’ve nurtured them when they were kittens, till they become beautiful cats. I’ve even given them away to people that needed a friendly pet & beat friend would bring them into their family. They’re really cute, & it’s nice to to be able to take care of cats because the all have their own personality that you can’t really ignore. Ones crazy while another ones mostly shy and etcs. So at the end of the day they really do become your family. Dogs are lovely as well they also have their own personality they’re definitely quirky. Whenever you need a sitter or to walk your dog just book me. I love both animals & all. I have time to watch your lovely animals, cats, dogs etcs. Going forward I’ll actively be available, so just watch out for me! Book me when you want! I’ll talk with my clients about how they do things around their house & follow their rules. It’s important to not get out line since every animal is different so following my clients tips, & rules make watching their cute pets go smoothy!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Locust
Luke was awesome! He did drop-in visits twice a day while we were away, and our dogs absolutely loved him. Khloe was a little hesitant with him at first (she can be a bit cautious with new people 😂), but he was so patient with her and she warmed up to him quickly after getting plenty of pets and attention! Highly recommended if you want someone to love your dogs as much as you do while your away!!
Dana is the BEST!! She really went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well taken care of when we were away. She’s great at communicating too. I loved the daily pictures and updates! I trust her wholeheartedly to take care of them again. Thank you Dana! <3

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.
