About: I have been helping care for pets since I was a young child. I grew up with pets and pet responsibilities. The love that I have for my pets crosses over to the love that I will bring for your pet. Pet sitting is currently my primary focus. This allows me to have greater flexibility in my schedule and more time to take care of your pets. Great care and concern for your pet is emphasized as well as open communication with you while your pet is in my care. Your concerns are my concerns when it comes to the safety and care of your pets.
“Great experience. Our dogs are not the easiest to handle and max did an amazing job. This was one of the longest trips we have been on away from our pups, and they were in great hands. Would book again!”
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter in NC for 2 years. Mostly walking dogs with a few fosters as well. Experienced with big and small dogs. I have a hybrid work schedule. Work remote Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Typically available on the weekends and love to have a dog to hike with. Unfortunately, unable to have pets in my home due to apartment restrictions. But available to come to your home and provide all care. Experience with reactive dogs.
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who need a little extra love and patience. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of any breed or temperament, and my experience extends to exotic pets like geckos too — so no animal is outside my comfort zone. Beyond the basics of feeding and playtime, I’m fully capable of transporting pets to vet or grooming appointments and have experience administering medications, whether oral, topical, or otherwise. Pet owners can trust that their animals are in safe, capable hands with me — no matter what their needs are. I'm currently working with a family as an on call pet/house sitter. I work anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, taking care of 2 cats and 2 dogs. I'm available for quick visits or long stays :) I treat every dog's daily routine as a priority, whether in my home or theirs. With the babies I'm currently watching, mornings start with a trip outside to a fenced yard for potty time while I get breakfast and medication ready. From there, we head out for the first of 2-3 walks throughout the day, which often include some playtime like a game of catch. Dinner is served around 6pm, and at night I make sure everyone settles into their crate, giving them lots of goodnight kisses before heading to bed myself. I'm comfortable administering medications and can accommodate a dog's existing schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress for them.
About: Hello, I am Sofia! I am currently completing my MS in Conservation Medicine at Tufts University! I have experience working as a veterinary technician with both dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperaments. I also have 10+ years experience working with over 20 different animal species, including some as large as camels and cows! I LOVE animals and am very kind, patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I am currently completing remote work for my Master's degree, so I have ample time and flexibility!! I am available 7 days/week, any time of day. I strictly follow your house rules, ensure all doors and windows lock securely, and keep your key with you at all times. I do a perimeter check of fence gates before letting pets outside and keep counters clear of food or hazards. I maintain your pet's exact feeding and exercise routine to reduce anxiety and send daily photo updates so you have complete peace of mind.
“Frances did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were on vacation. With 3 Rescues inside and 2 TNR's outside, it's not easy to find someone to take that on. Everything went great and she kept us informed with texts & pics after each visit. She made our vacation so much more enjoyable.”
About: I have been a shelter volunteer for 10 years walking dogs of all sizes and breeds in addition caring for dogs & cats and kittens. CPR and Reiki certified. Also, AKC Certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. I have worked at my job for the last 22 yrs, currently remote. I will be available on Rover on my days off, walks and care. I will be available for walks and any care needed at your home. Pet CPR certified and experienced in giving medication if needed and arranged.
“Olivia was so sweet and communicative; she gave me all the details of my pup’s walk and sent multiple pictures, which I always appreciate. We will definitely be working with Olivia again!”
“My two dogs loved getting belly rubs from Jim! Even my cat had to get in on the action. I just needed a drop in but it’s good to know there’s someone I can contact again when I’ll be out for a good part of the day.”
About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need patience and structure to senior pets who require a gentler routine and extra attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their normal environment, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I work a serving job at night, which leaves my mornings, afternoons, and much of the evening available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, and quality time with pets. My schedule is flexible during the day, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I’m also very active, so I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and engagement. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely because I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments. I’m attentive to behavior changes, medication schedules if needed, and making sure pets get enough activity and companionship throughout the day.
“Jon is a cat whisperer. A cat magnet. We were worried about leaving our two 1-1/2 year old cats for 10 days to take a family visit. There was absolutely nothing to be worried about. Even the very shy cat greeted Jon at the door every day and gave him nose kisses. Your pets deserve the care of Jon.”
About: In all my 22 years of life, I have always had a dog and have assisted in feeding, bathing, and walking the dogs I’ve had. I’ve always been an animal person even considered becoming a vet at one point. Whenever I am at someone’s home, you can find me hanging out with their pet wether it’s a dog or cat or even a snake! In addition to walks on ROVER I make and sell custom stickers. Pet stickers are especially popular and my Etsy is ShopMomentsFromMichi I currently have a flexible schedule, please reach out to me a week in advance, so I can fit your pup into that schedule!! I do 20 hours of volunteer work a week and babysit, I plan each weeks work days/ volunteering days about a week in advance and would love to add your precious pet into that mix! I am looking to do dog walking and dropping in! I am open to taking your dog for a leashed walk around the neighborhood or drive them to a fenced in dog park if you’re comfortable with it!! Whenever I walk a dog I always bring myself and the dog water to keep us safe and hydrated.
About: After spending nearly a decade as a nurse, I decided it was time to make a career shift to do what I really love, which is working with animals. I am a full-time pet sitter, bonded & insured. I've been caring for others for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family home was affectionately known as "the zoo." Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish... you name it, we probably had one. I'm comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with more complex medical needs. My background in healthcare was so valuable in teaching me the importance of empathy, patience and compassionate care, and now I get to share those qualities with each and every animal that I work with. Whether your pet needs a walk, medication, or just a trusted friend while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members! I am a full-time, professional pet sitter and have open availability to help take care of your pets! Once you have completed a meet & greet, same-day requests are available as well. Every pets has different needs and I will make sure to follow your pets schedule as closely as possible. At the meet and greet we will discuss how frequently your pet needs go potty, have their litter changed, feeding schedules, medication, etc and keep you up-to-date on everything that happened during our visits.
“Skye took excellent care of my cat, Betty! He is very kind, attentive and responsible. I loved seeing the photos he sent me of Betty happily sitting on his lap. That’s how you know! :) Would definitely book again!”
“Heather was GREATTTT with my dog. She checked in consistently and responded quickly with no issues. I had no worries about my doggy at all I knew she was in great hands. She paid attention to her very well and updated us through the day. Book her and you’ll see!! 😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages since I was very young and am a huge animal lover! I am a nurse who works 3 days a week so I have frequent free time. I do have a 1 year old female golden retriever who is pet friendly. I am a pediatric nurse who works 2-3 days a week and love animals, so I am looking to get back into pet walking and sitting on the side. My schedule is flexible. I enjoy going on walks, especially with a dog by my side. Because I have fostered several dogs, I am comfortable meeting a new dog and getting to know them through walking or playing in your backyard. I am also comfortable with all sizes as I have had both small dogs and XL.
“I had the pleasure of having Tania watch my dog and cat over the weekend, and i couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met her it was clear that our pets were in good hands. Tania was incredibly punctual, and, most importantly, showed genuine affection and care for both of my furry family members. Throughout the weekend, I received regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that my pets were happy and well-cared for. Our dog can be quite rambunctious , but he took to Tania’s calm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to understand each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and content. When I returned home, my dog and cat were relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's evident that Tania is passionate about animals and takes her job seriously. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided and would highly recommend Tania to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. We look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, for taking such excellent care of our pets!”

Maximillian kept us up to date on both our cat and dog throughout his visits with them. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him as we travelled across the world! He will be with them again later this month and we are very happy about it. Highly recommend!!
Jon was fantastic with my two cats, spending even more time with them than agreed upon. Over several visits on a long weekend, he gave them excellent care and lots of play. The sociable one fell for him immediately, and even my nervous girl warmed up over a short time. He’s got great energy and a clear love of animals. Book him today!

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.

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.
