“We were so happy have Becky as our pup sitter again while we were away for a weekend! She is responsible, flexible, and communicative. She takes great care of your pet and send lots of photos to keep you updated. It is clear that she loves animals. We definitely recommend Becky for your Rover sitter.”
“Sydney was amazing with my guys! I booked last minute and she was able to still make the request work! She fed, took them out and made sure they had water! She even got my German shepherd to eat a little which he never does when I’m not there! I would definitely recommend her if you need a drop in visit!”
“Kasandra was great! She checked on our cat while we were out of town and it made leaving him so much easier knowing he was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!”
About: I have had dogs all throughout my childhood, and whether it’s small pups or big fluffy ones, I love them all! I also love the outdoors and being active. I am currently a student and I have a lot of free time with only one job working Saturday evenings. I commonly go to the gym in the late morning but I am available mostly every day! I offer pet sitting at your own home, along with stop ins and dog walking, keeping your pet cared for and comfortable! I will carefully follow provided instructions for your pets needs.
“Awesome as always and Sebastian likes Marlaina! Rover: I am completely fine with Marlaina not staying the full 30 minutes, as she gives Sebastian his SubQ fluids, and it does not take 30 minutes to administer. Thank you!”
“Margaret was great with the pups and sent sweet photos of her visits. She was super patient with me as my dates changed a couple times. Will definitely rebook! :)”
“Sara was great. Her communication was excellent and the pictures were nice to get. It’s always nice to have someone reliable to take care of your animals! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again!”
“Taylor was gracious enough to accept a last minute assignment having never being to my house to meet the dogs. Upon arrival she found my one dog abt aggressive at the door. She called me and suggested asking a neighbor knee the dogs to help her the first time and that was the ticket. I loved her assertive nature. Took care of my pups and communicated every time. Would highly recommend Taylor in the future”
About: I had a couple dogs growing up and was heavily involved in the training process. Recently, some friends have gotten dogs and I have taken care of them. Until the end of August, I am a teacher on summer break and have lots of flexibility in my day. Once the school year starts on September 1, I am going to continue caring on weekday nights and some weekends. I am unable to board pets at my apartment, but have frequently taken care of friends pets at their houses. With a little profile on your pet, I can accommodate their needs.
“David took great care of our pup! She warmed up to him quickly and was very happy on his visits. He had great communication and shared lots of photos from his visits! Will definitely book him again and would recommend to anyone.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and affection Chentel gives to my cats and my home. She is a wonderfully kind and incredibly responsible person. I feel blessed to have found her.”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time healthcare worker and college student with a lifelong love for animals. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets and those who need medication or extra attention. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax with a new friend, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time in healthcare during the day, which has helped me become responsible, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I’m available most evenings after 5:00 PM and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. I treat my pets like family. They have automatic feeders and water fountains, clean litter boxes, regular grooming, quality food, and plenty of love and attention. I stay on top of their health, routines, and any special needs to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable every day. 🐾❤️
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.

Becky was absolutely amazing! I’m so glad I had her as my pet sitter. She was wonderful with my cat Auggie and I felt so comfortable with her the minute I met her. She did a great job with Auggie and communicating everything she was doing for his care. I really appreciated all the pictures and detailed comments on her daily visits. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Christine did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. She was attentive, and kept us updated while we were away. She even had some difficulties with the key in our door and went out of the way to fix an issue. We really appreciated how she went above and beyond. Excellent service.

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.
