About: I am experienced with different pets young or old,large or small, cold or hot. I have clipped wings, removed poop from my shoulder and put diapers on my Siberian Husky. I have time to put Rover ahead of everything else. I have transportation and time to set and play with these little or big guys. My pets are well taken care of. I feed them twice a day along with water. Throughout the day most of the time I have treats for them. I play with them at different times when they are not sitting in my lap. I brush my pets about every other day when they are not trying to get my hand. They sleep at the end of my bed and the next day we start all over again. I'm a lucky human!!
About: I have been in the veterinary field for over five years. I have been a vet assistant, so I do have experience working with all times of pets. From all stages of life. I do have experience with giving medication and senior pets. I aim to learn the pet's habits to make sure they are happy while you are away. I'm currently working part-time. I'm available for pet sitting on the weekends,and Tuesday and Wednesday during the week. Also on the weekends I can do walking. Since I will be coming to your home, I will make sure to meet and spend time with your pet. To make sure you're pet is comfortable with me. Also, to see the energy of your pet. If your pet is on any medication, ill make sure they are given and know who their veterinarian is just in case of emergency. Then following any feeding instructions.
“John stayed the day with our two dogs. It was our first time using him, so he was kind enough to come meet the pups a couple days prior to sitting them - to make sure it was a good fit. The dogs immediately liked him & approved! He arrived on time, sent pictures during the day, and was very polite. I plan to use him again :-)”


About: My specialty is where I’ve worked at different animal shelters over the past 5 years and have abundant behavioral and medical experience with multiple types of dogs and cats! I’m very consent based on petting and have a soft spot for socialization of anxious animals. Your pets will be in loving caring hands at all times!! I have a full time job that runs until evening when I’m working, but can still do any drop in visits or overnight pet sitting. I have 2 week days off that I can use for your pets as needed which can include dog walks or house sitting! I have lots of experience with dogs from my work in animal shelters and am comfortable with multiple temperaments. With my work as a vet assistant, I’m trained in monitoring the health and wellbeing of dogs and cats and am very skilled in medication administration. I would also prefer to meet your dogs/cats once or twice before we are on our own so that they can be comfortable around me in their homes!
About: I have grown up with cats, dogs and many other animals, and have been trusted to care for neighborhood pets since highschool.

I am flexible and can provide excellent pet care whenever you need. I have a yard and a large park next to my home with space for walks. I also have a dog and am currently fostering a cat.
“Perfect! Let Ainsley take care of your pets! She took care of my two kitties for a week. She did everything just right. I received daily pics of her playing with them. She was even able to make friends with my shy kitty. This was my first experience using rover.com, once again, I am pleased.”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs and have been consistently walking and caring for pets from middle school through college. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.
“Amber was amazing! She took great care of my girl and she truly made her feel safe and loved while I was away. She handled everything so well and provided great care for my sweet girl. I got pictures, videos, and updates all within a timely manner. Would 100% recommend Amber to anyone!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.
“We are so happy that Heather was able to help us out. She was pleasant , easy to work with and communicated well. Our pups seemed to love and trust her immediately. She even sent us great pics of our pups. She is highly recommended!”

About: I’ve always grew up around dogs of all sizes (especially the large ones) and always have a heart for our furry friends. I take care of the dogs in our neighbor and when someone needs just to check up on the pup I’m usually the one to do it! There has never been a time where I haven’t lived with a dog so I’ve had many years of experience with dogs! I’m currently a college student and would love to spend my free time looking and caring after dogs for the ones who need an extra hand! I offer the drop in care and walks because I prefer getting to know the dogs in their own environment first before bringing them into a new one!
“I am very happy with Abigail’s attention to detail and all the pictures of her visits. She took my dog on some wonderful walks and was fantastic about communication. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have had years of experience, with having three labs currently to raising two litters of lab puppies. I have grown up with dogs and love being around them I am in school during the week Monday-Friday. Pet care fits best for me during the evenings or the weekends depending on the week of school. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddle spots. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space, keep their environment tidy, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

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.

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.
