“This was our first time using Rover and Leilani & Jessie to watch Minnie. We did an overnight. Communication was excellent, including photos. Minnie will need more time to warm up to sitter but that will come with more experiences. Look forward to more opportunities to use Leilani & Jessie.”

I'm certainly part time, I have the time&love to give!

“We've only had John come a few times, but are already very happy with him. He tires our puppy out so she's not crazy wild when we get home and shows us pics of her painting and tired out. I booked a couple of drop ins, but he still took her for a walk when I hadn't paid for one. My puppy seems to like him and even though shes a large German shepherd who has scared another sitter, John handles her well with no fear. my Dog took to him right away. I feel comfortable leaving her in his care and will use him again.”
“Alexis was super great working with our last minute schedule! She took good care of our girl and made sure to spend quality time. Also, she was very communicative and followed all directions perfectly. Thank you again!”
About: Hello! I’m Mags (Rover requires me to use my legal name) and I love all animals I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently employed part time and have many days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any client’s schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.
“Annabelle did a wonderful job with our two cats Daisy and Lily. She is a very caring animal lover and our cats warmed up to her affections nicely. She truly seemed to enjoy taking care of them, and they enjoyed her attention and brushing. Will definitely book with Annabelle again.”
“My cats love Fraya! She is amazing and her love of animals and what she does shines through. I trust her implicitly and can travel with no worries. No one can begin to compare to Fraya she is an integral part of our family.”
“We booked Kyla & Cody to watch our pup at their house for a weekend, as well as do a few drop-ins at our house for our other pets. They were fantastic! I really appreciated the updates and photos they sent, and I loved that they got to know our multiple pets by name and understood their personalities. They are true animal lovers and it shows. And I think our dog made a new bestie in their teddy bear of a lab Bishop!”
“She was very competent and did a good job with the dogs. We are visiting from out of state and staying at a RV Park. Having her come took away the worry for me in leaving the dogs for the day. Thanks”

About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs.

“Chantel was great! She sent pictures of Sabine and sent messages along with them to update me on anything with my apartment or with Sabine. I was nervous about using this service since it’s my first time, but she eased my nerves. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

Fraya is absolute perfection when it comes to cat care! From the moment we met her, her calm, gentle nature put our three cats completely at ease. Cats can be so particular—especially our trio—but Fraya knew exactly how to give each of them the right amount of attention, keeping them happy, safe, and content. She sent wonderful daily photo updates that let us truly relax and enjoy our time off. We returned home to very happy, relaxed cats and a spotless house. We cannot recommend Fraya highly enough!
Alexis took very good care of Minnie over a 4-day visit, our longest time away. Minnie is super shy and tends to stay under the bed and not come out for anybody, but Alexis has been doing an amazing job of coaxing her out. On one visit, she even had Minnie purring and out in the living room, which is quite an accomplishment. Alexis took care of all Minnie's needs and even took her food bowl closer to her hiding spot on those visits when she was not going to come out. We think that over time, Minnie will get more comfortable with Alexis and will come out of hiding. We would definitely love to work with Alexis again and would not hesitate to recommend her.
Christina took great care of Skippy while we were away. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and kept us updated after every visit with detailed Rover cards and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She was thoughtful, reliable, and attentive throughout our trip. We came home to a happy dog, and we would definitely book Christina again. Highly recommended!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McSherrystown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
