“Selena is fantastic! Attentive, proactive, and genuinely great with animals. We have a busy household of pets and she took wonderful care of all of them, communicated clearly the entire time, and went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable. We came back to happy animals and total peace of mind. Already rebooking her. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”

I'm a pro at administering medication, keeping coats shiny with basic grooming, and ensuring tails are always wagging. My dedication to tailoring care to each dog’s unique needs is unmatched - no paw left behind! With me, your furry friend will receive the utmost love and care. As a dedicated pet sitter and full-time college student, I've crafted a paw-fect schedule to balance my studies with the needs of your furry friends. I'm always ready to give your pets the care and attention they deserve, offering early morning visits, evening visits, and overnight stays throughout the week. And when the weekend rolls around, my schedule is wide open for tail-ored care. No matter what your pet's routine looks like, I'm excited to work with you to create a purr-sonalized care plan that keeps those tails wagging and kitty purrs going! Ensuring the safety, trust, and comfort of both pets and pet owners is my top priority. Although I'm unable to welcome furry friends into my own home, I'm more than happy to visit your pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings, where they feel most at ease.

My goal is to create a safe, nurturing atmosphere where your pets can thrive, and I look forward to providing the best possible care for your beloved companions.
“We had such a great experience with Peyton! Luna is normally a very shy pet but was so comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind, especially for fitting us in last minute over a holiday weekend. We truly appreciate how caring and dependable she was and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Dremma took wonderful care of our two cats! We were gone for several weeks, our cats are older, and one required medication. Dremma will be the first person that we will rebook with when the need arises. Thank you Dremma!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, everything from puppies full of energy to sweet senior pets needing a little extra TLC.

About: 10+ years in kennel and veterinary medicine. Can take on walks & play to get the mid day zoomies out! Can administer medications as well. I am available all day on Mondays. This gives more time for long walks, feeding, medicating if needed and getting all of the zoomies out! I can pick up pets and take them to parks they are familiar with. We can take longs walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for the pet!
“Love this woman!!!! She is such a great joy to have watch are little man. We think he likes her more than us sometimes 😬🤣🤣🤣 Stacy has won the heart of one of the most picky cats we have ever had.”
“Eliza was the absolute best! She was very detailed in her Rover cards. I could tell she was a true animal lover and my senior absolutely loved her! It was such a nice treat to know my boy was safe while I was at work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
