“Was our 1st time ever using Rover and was nervous about the process, but loved the option of letting our fur babies be at their own home. Heather met them for a “meet-and-greet” about a month before our vacation and was friendly, professional, and open to learning their routine. She went above and beyond in caring for my boys while we were away in giving detailed daily reports and pictures which showed they were very happy which made me happy. Definitely will use Heather in the future!”
“I would recommend Sophia as your pet sitter. We have 3 dogs from senior (15 years) and two 5 and 8. Sophia was great in communication from the start of booking to the last checkin. We were first time users of the service and Sophia made it so easy. Our pups loved her! I would definitely have Sophia again!”
“So happy with the care my pets received from Natalie! Even with unforeseen issues, she was able to handle things and my pets received excellent care. I loved getting updates and photos so I knew they were being cared for. Will book again if she’s available.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two lovable rescue dogs of my own, Max and Ruby. They are a big part of our family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and have also helped neighbors by letting their dogs out, feeding them, giving them fresh water, and spending time playing with them. I’m dependable, patient, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm a teacher, so I'm off for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I'm available during the day, evenings, and weekends for walks and drop-in visits. Once school starts again, I'll be available after school, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I'll do my best to work around your pet's normal routine. I know how important it is to know your pets are in good hands while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and anything else that helps keep your pet comfortable. I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love, and I'll treat them like they're my own.
“Melissa was so great with our pups! She was flexible with the scheduling and willing to do whatever they needed! Getting pictures of happy dogs while we were gone made me feel so much better leaving them! They were so happy to stay in their home and get to have plenty of stretch time. Melissa was super prompt with responses and super easy to get in touch with! Thank you!”
“It is clear that Kim is natural with dogs. Our dog is older with hip problems, and Kim took exceptional care of him. She checked in with us each visit and provided updates on his condition, and he was in great condition when we returned. We would highly recommend!”
About: Experienced working with a variety of animals- dogs, cats, chickens, goats, aquatic pets (turtles, frogs, fish, etc.), and reptiles. Experience as a vet assistant provides strong foundation in caring for medically complex and senior pets, comfortable administering medications. Currently care for my two pups and bearded dragon at home. I enjoy pet care as it helps to provide a purposeful break from school. Caring for animals feels like second nature with my schedule, and I’m able to seamlessly provide for your pets while maintaining my school schedule without any lapse in care. I provide a close eye on the animals that I care for, and due to my experience as a veterinary assistant I am able to recognize potential medical needs of your animal companions. I’m comfortable walking pets, supervising them in a fenced in yard, or any other method that your pet uses to go outside! While in your home, I maintain close proximity to your pets, and engage them in enriching activities during my time with them.

About: I love caring for dogs in our home and treating them like they are a part of our family! Your dog will get plenty of attention and snuggles. Your dog will rarely be left alone as I am home almost all the time and if I am not, my family (all adults) helps care for the pets too. I have experience with senior dogs and those with anxiety. We have a fenced in yard and I also love to take dogs for walks in our quiet neighborhood. Please note that we have one cat in the house and a puppy. The puppy is a Carolina dog- mixed breed. As of June she is 8 months old. She has normal puppy energy and is ready to play! We would do a meet and greet to have the dogs meet before you booked to make sure you and your pup are comfortable. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. I am interested in pursuing a future career working with pets. Your dog will be loved and treated like part of the family while staying with us. I have plenty of availability and flexibility in my schedule. For boarding, I am home all the time but in the chance that I am out, my family (all adults) is usually home. So your pet will rarely be alone. I am offering overnight boarding in my home. We are a family of 4 adult so there is almost always someone home. We do have a cat and a 6 month old puppy. We have a fenced in yard for your dog to run, but I will also take them for walks around the neighborhood.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Medford Lakes
Heather was excellent. She was kind, professional, and clearly very responsible. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat looked happy and healthy when we came back! I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

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.
