“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 spent my whole life around animals—dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, snakes, and more! I even bottle-fed a rabbit from birth. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time at a restaurant in the mornings only once or twice a week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and time. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure my availability works well with your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without the care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for!
About: I’m a certified Physician Assistant and lifelong animal lover, and I’m excited to spend some extra time caring for your pets while I try to secure my first job as a PA! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My family had a cat who we brought home when I was 2 years old and who was part of my family until I was in college. We also had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and during college I had a Siamese kitten that I shared with my roommates. More recently, I’ve enjoyed dog sitting (& house sitting) with my sister’s Golden Retriever and my best friend’s dog frequently while I was in school. I also watched my friend's kitten over the last year. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mainly busy with tasks at home each day while I work toward finding my first job as a PA. Right now, I have very open availability and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while getting a change of scenery and relocating my workspace! I currently plan to provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and crate use. I’m attentive to keeping pets safe and comfortable, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect while you’re away.
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 love animals and I know how much they mean to us! As a kitty and doggie auntie herself I’m always running and playing with them! I can administer medicine if needed also! I will soon be available to take care of your fur babies needs! I can visit twice a day if need be! My schedule is opening up! I can come play with your fur baby! I also have experience with giving medicine if needed. I am very versatile if there is any other accommodation you need!
“Virginia is amazing to work with! She took detailed notes in a visit prior to pet sitting and made sure that I felt comfortable with everything and that our cats had the opportunity to get to know her. During our trip she sent detailed recaps and took lots of amazing photos. I felt so comfortable with her that I did not have to worry once about the care being given to them. Would book with Virginia 100% again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types and breeds of animals since I was 10. Most pets feel my energy and are immediately comfortable with me. I get up first thing in the morning and feed the animals, scoop litter boxes and let them out before I even feed myself. Then I go to work for anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. When I return home, dogs go outside for potty breaks, and cats get fed. Once the dogs come back in, they get fed. Depending on their needs and age, I give pretty regular potty breaks. And then a final potty break before bed. Petsitting helps complement my regular day job. I have a fenced in backyard for dogs to roam around, run and play, and to go to the bathroom. I have a 71 inch gate to my living room to separate large dogs from cats or other animals if needed. I also have multiple baby gates to separate out areas if animals don’t do well with other animals or need some time to adjust.
“Kyla is the best! This was a last minute reservation and she was so great at assuring me that my cat would be well taken care of! She checked in and sent multiple updates throughout her visits. She was so friendly and great with my kitty!! I’ll definitely be reaching out for any trips I take in the future.”
About: I was the primary caretaker for my pitbull/lab mix, Lucy, for 8 years and have now had a cat for over a year and a half. I am currently a part time student as well as do freelance graphic design and photography work. This leaves me with a flexible schedule to care for your animals! I have taken care of big and small dogs and many different breeds of cats. I have been an animal lover for my whole life!
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.
“We couldn’t have taken our trip if we hadn’t of found Ruben! We have old, high maintenance dogs and he was perfect for us. He’s patient, experienced, dependable and just a really great sweet guy! Would absolutely recommend Ruben to anyone I know ;)”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 walking neighborhood dogs. I have three cats at home and I have owned a dog before! I love pets, and love seeing a happy pet!! I am currently a full time student athlete, but have a very flexible schedule. I am totally willing to spend nights with pets and even just stop by for a walk here and there! I am still living in a dorm styled housing, so taking pegs in my home will not yet be an option. Although I’m sure if I had to walk the pet over, there are sooo many people that would love to give some love that are missing their pets at home!!
About: As a cat mom and experienced pet sitter, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. I have experience working with anxious dogs, administering medications, and safely walking/managing multiple dogs at once. I also have cat-sitting experience and genuinely enjoy giving pets calm, attentive care that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide references upon request! I’m currently taking a break from my full-time job, which means I have very open availability and a flexible schedule throughout the week. Because of this, I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling when needed. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine right now, and I genuinely enjoy building my days around spending time with animals. I believe pets are happiest when their routines and environments are respected, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, attentive way. My family’s home has a fenced-in yard, and I’m also a big walker, so pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time depending on their needs and energy levels. In clients’ homes, I’m very respectful, tidy, communicative, and detail-oriented. I understand that trust is a huge part of pet care, so I’ll proactively reach out with any questions or updates and will absolutely send plenty of photos while you’re away!
“Jeri was great! Super friendly, always prompt and great with animals. She came to meet my pets before her booked visits which I appreciated. Will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and colleagues for over 5 years now. I am experienced with different breeds, sizes, and health conditions.

I will also do overnights in your home. I am very flexible, adaptable, and can accommodate to fit you and your pets’ needs! I can easily crate your dog if needed, allow your dog to sleep with me, safely walk your dog with the equipment you would like me to, etc. I also have experiencing with administering medications for various health issues.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.

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.
