About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: I'd love to help care for pets while you’re away! I’m happy to look after cats and small-medium sized dogs. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make time for play and affection, and give them space when they need it. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind. I'm happy to provide weekend hours and then some depending on what is needed. I do work a full time job Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:30. I will happily follow guides and routines set for your pet(s). I only offer to pet sit at the owners home. I do have 5 cats of my own at home and that would stress all parties out.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to lizards and spiders, I love them all! I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as a turtle, hermit crabs, a chinchilla, ferret, and many more. For training to senior-pet experience, look no further! Big or small, I love them all! Currently looking to go back to school, my schedule is as flexible as you need it to be. I’m happy to apply your pets’ schedule to my day to day routine. I will be caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Ensuring your home is maintained during your absence is a top priority!

“As usual, Ashlyn did a wonderful job caring for my furbaby! She is SO flexible; it totally sets you at ease when your flight gets delayed…twice! She is always willing to step up and step in if/when needed if my travel plans are unexpectedly extended. So grateful to have her caring for Cricket! So nice to walk into my place just as I left it also!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHLYN for all your pet care needs. 👍👍”

Mallory was amazing with our cat. She checked in on him to feed him and clean the litter box daily. He was hospitalized for a urinary blockage previously so we have to keep a close eye on him to make sure he's eating his prescription diet and urinating regularly. It was such a relief to have someone we could depend on while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole trip and sent us tons of pictures.

We love Tamara. She has been scheduled for drop ins multiple times and always goes above and beyond for our animals and house while we are away. She’s great at sending updates and pictures so we never have to worry. Definitely the best sitter we have found and will continue to use her for any pet needs. Thank you girl❤️

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
