“This is the first time we used Rover and it was a very good experience. Linda took excellent care of our dog and 2 cats as well as our home. She checked in with pictures at each visit which enabled us to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. We will definitely ask Linda again to care for our pets in the future.”

“Vicky did an awesome job caring for Bruce. She was in communication with me and sent great pictures so I had complete peace of mind. I think Bruce really liked Vicky and the feeling was mutual. I highly recommend Vicky to care for your fur baby.”

“As always, Dallas is super reliable, great with updates, the cats love her and she makes us feel reassured that they are in safe hands whenever we’re away - above and beyond!”

“Jennifer is great with animals! She took great care of my cats and dog while I was away. I was worried about how she’d handle my big rowdy dog, but she was so reassuring and has a lot of experience handling big dogs! She’s also very nice in general! I will definitely recommend and use her services again! ?”

“I wish I could give Alexis more than 5 stars!!! I contacted Alexis last minute about day care for my two German shepherds, plans quickly changed because of my one of dogs health and she didn’t hesitate to offer to come to my house instead. My dog had an accident in my house and she thoroughly cleaned up after him. Alexis goes above and beyond for her clients and their pets from quick response times to genuinely caring for your pet. Keep up the great work and I look forward to booking again with you soon!”

“I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care Julia provided to my dogs during our recent trip. We're incredibly grateful for Julia's outstanding care of our dogs. Her genuine affection and diligent attention to their needs were evident in how happy and content our pups were throughout our absence. Knowing they were so well-loved and looked after gave us complete peace of mind, allowing us to truly enjoy our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Julia for her exceptional service.”

About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.
“Savana is kind, professional, and brave. We had an emergency and had 6 dogs at my parents house. She never met our pups but with instructions she went in and took care of all 6! While the pup played a little to hard and hurt his sister, Savana cleaned her up well, lat us know about what was happening. So professional and kind about the situation. I would recommend her services to my family and friends!”

“I was so nervous about hiring a cat sitter as I’ve never used a cat sitter before but Jeannie assuaged all my fears. She did a complimentary meet and greet visit a week before I needed her services to meet my kitty and talk over specifics and that really helped. She listened to my concerns and made me feel better about everything. During the week when I was gone Jeannie messaged me as soon as she arrived at my home and sent 6 pictures of him every day with updates about how he was doing. From the pictures I could tell my cat really liked Jeannie. He’s the type of cat who normally runs every time anyone comes through the front door but from the first visit with Jeannie he was out and about when she arrived rubbing on her. She didn’t even have to look for him LOL She played with him and gave him the pets he needed to feel comfortable and happy without me home. By the end of the week he was sitting on her lap which was great to see. He really enjoyed her visits and I was happy to know he had pets and cuddles and loving care while I was gone. All of his dishes were clean and his feeding area was spotless and neat when I returned as if I had never left. I will definitely have Jeannie be my cat sitter the next time I take a trip and I would recommend her to any cat or pet owner that is nervous about leaving their cat alone for a few days. Thanks to Jeannie I didn’t worry about my cat during my vacation. Thanks so much Jeannie!”

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.

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.
