“Sherry was very communicative about our pets and even noticed that our alarm had an error on it and fixed it. She brought in the mail too. One of our cats prefers to be outside so she didn’t see him but made sure that his food was eaten so she knew he was ok.”
About: I've taken care of many animals since I was young, I've been a sitter for 2 fur babies for 2years before I moved and I do have my own sweet girl, she just turned 5 this year. I currently work part-time 4-10pm and I am a college students, so I do make time to be around fur babies, being around pets just bring me peace and happiness especially if I'm keeping company, walking or just playing. I would prefer to walk or go to the pets home, I do have children in my home that are at a very busy age.
About: I have always loved animals and started working in veterinary medicine as early as I could. I am now a technician and love caring for animals of all all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have experience with all types of animals, energy levels, and needs. I have plenty of time right now and would love to spend time with your pets and can even take them on adventures if desired. I try and keep pets the least stressed than can be when I am around. I treat every pet like my own and how I would want my pet to be treated. I am known at my clinics for excellent patient care.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.
“Heather did such a great job with our kitten! We had to book a last minute drop in visit and Heather went above and beyond! She made sure our kitten was fed, had a clean litter box, got playtime, and some cuddles. She even tried to fix our front porch planters that had been knock over by the storms! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Scarlett was amazing with our dogs! She always went above and beyond! We actually could relax on our vacation knowing she was watching our fur babies. She was always on time and her report cards were thorough, always letting us know what was going on. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again, she has been the best dog sitter we have ever had!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the moment he walked in, our cats immediately took to him—which honestly never happens. They’re usually shy around new people, but they were relaxed, curious, and even affectionate right away. It was clear he has a natural connection with animals. He was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything just as we left it. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can truly trust. We’ll absolutely be booking with him”
“Jannah was the absolute best. Kind, honest and caring. Above and beyond communicator. Felt very comfortable with her watching my pup and will trust her again in the future.”
“Yamile was fantastic!!!! She was very thorough with my instructions. She took time to play with my fur baby and interact with him. I will definitely be using her again. She was awesome!!!”
“Nicole hit it off great with my dog Cooper at the meet and greet - you could tell she cares! She’s sticks to the schedule and has ‘grown’ with Cooper as he gets more comfortable in his new home. I highly recommend Nicole.”
“JMark, is awesome!! I'm so glad I chose him. My Rottie Rome has really warmed up to him and looks forward to seeing him. They've quickly formed a bond and do well together. He keeps me updated on any developments concerning Rome, and we are pleased with his service. I hope he's apart of the family for a long while.”
“Jetaun was amazing!!!! The dogs warmed up to her and was happy to see her when she arrived. She is professional, prompt, courteous, and gentle with my fur babies. I Highly recommend her and I will be using her from now on.”
“Vaneesha is a must book! She took care of our babies for a last minute trip and sooooo put our minds at ease! This was also our longest trip apart from our newest kitty and she made sure we were kept in the loop the entire time. 10/10!!!”
About: I've taken care of my first dog when I was 11 years old. I now have two dogs of my own. I also volunteer at the humane society as a hobby. I understand the hassle and income. Do not worry! I am here to provide my very best. I do not have ANY experience with cats. I work full time to make sure my dogs get what they need. I can do dog walking and drop-in visits during weekdays. I do not rush. I do not provide boarding. *When booking a service, please let me know before the available date. I will have no choice to decline the request.* I walk them twice a day, tummy rubs help a lot, brushing teeth, grooming, cleaning, buying them toys, closely monitoring, providing blankets, and healthy food.
“Josh has been absolutely amazing in sitting for Lollie. She is generally bot a huge fan of men, but she just adores Josh!! He has visited a couple of times while we are there and Lollie is over the moon for him - she wags her tail so hard I think she might throw her hip out - lol. I would recommend Josh to anyone who needs a pet sitter - he loves Lollie and she loves him back - we are grateful to have him.”
About: Since I was a child, I've had a strong affinity for animals and have always adored fur pets. I've been caring for animals since I was ten years old. I've worked with senior dogs for four years. Neighbors and friends have entrusted me with keeping an eye on, walking, bathing, and feeding their pets. I also kept an eye on chickens. I figured rover would be a great way for me to interact with a variety of furry friends. I can work full time on weekends and part time and weekdays because I’m still in school. But I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and drop ins on weekdays. I don't keep pets in cages because I don't want them to feel confined. I do accept pets on furniture, but if you want your pet to be crated I will allow it. I also have a very large yard for your pet to run about in.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
