“Rebecca was so responsible and made us feel so comfortable leaving our furry babies in her care. She showed up on time, followed instructions and went the extra mile. We really appreciate her and look forward to working with her again.”
“It’s always an uncertain thing leaving a precious family member with someone new for the first time—but Natalee made it easy and effortless. She came in advance to meet Falkor (the doggo) and get some instructions on care and feeding. Falkor was instantly comfortable. I received great updates while I was away, everything was seamless, and Natalee even helped secure my phone when I accidentally left it on the counter. I had a great experience and came home to a happy pooch. Thanks so much!”
About: Aside from my professional history as a wildlife biologist and former Oregon Zoo keeper I am a life long lover of dogs, cats, and all animals. I am experienced in all aspects of animal welfare from puppy training to administering senior dog medication and clipping cat nails. I'm in shape to handle any sized dog in the event of aggressive leash pulling or needing to lift a dog in case of emergency. I bring professional animal handing experience and an innate understanding and empathy towards animals. Recently furloughed Government wildlife biologist, I am currently available 24/7 if needed. I have my own animals at home I need to care for but between my wife and myself I have a flexible schedule and should be available whenever you need me. I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.
“Lexi was great! She helped us take very good care of Imo while we were traveling during the holidays. She was on time and great with our instructions and communications. Our cat Imo really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. She also took many cute photos of Imo :) Really appreciate your help last minute. Thank you!”
“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”
“I have had Shaelyn come care for my cats once a week for a couple of months now. She is reliable and genuinely loves all pets and animals. She knows what to do to make it comfortable for my cats, I do not need to worry when she is with them.”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She has watched my two cats on numerous occasions since the start of this summer and it is so great to have one less thing to worry about knowing she's stopping by. She always helps with extra things like making sure my garden is watered and checking if doors were left unlocked by accident. She is incredibly flexible and is always kind enough to help when work keeps me away from home longer than expected.”
“Autumn was a great caretaker for our critters! She was very detailed in her updates and we felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will definitely book with her again!”
“This is going to be a comparison review for multiple drop-in visits. I had originally hired another sitter but decided to add Claire a couple times a month as a backup in case my original hire was sick or couldn’t make it. So she had two drop visits a month and would cover any time that the other sitter wasn’t available. The other sitter was adequate. She would come on time take pictures of them on the couch and leave on time. Sometimes she would say whether or not they peed. Sometimes she wouldn’t and I’d have to ask her and she would say oh I don’t know. They walked around the corner of the house. Claire on the other hand, actually pays attention to them. She plays with them. The videos are great! I know that they peed. They pooped. They had water. Most of the time the pictures and videos are of them being outside. She lets the dogs tell her what they want not the other way around. And when all they get is 30 minutes of attention, that is very important. Claire is now my only drop in sitter. I also feel comfortable that if I were to go out of town, I would definitely have her stay here. I know she’s going to college, and I hope that she makes all her dreams come true with whatever she decides to do. However, I hope that we can keep her busy enough where I could keep her as my sitter forever! Because I’m selfish! Please hire her around my schedule. 😁🐶🐾”
“Nicole was amazing. She sent photos of my kitten everyday and even went as far as to help us figure out how to keep the ants away from his food while we were out of town. I will for sure use her services again :)”
About: I've been pet sitting for many years anywhere from overnight to a couple weeks. The most I have pet sat at one time is five dogs and two cats and I loved every second of it! I have also puppy sat a dog for a week and still to this day watch the dog (pictured in my profile picture), I love her as much as my own and have loved being there as she has gotten older. I also have experience watching older dogs and have skill to care for them. I know the attention and gentle care they need and I adore giving that to them and petting their cute little white faces. I am an online graduate student so I am able to commit to being at your home with your pet for most of the day, every day! When caring for a puppy I make sure I always have my eyes him/ her and when I let them out (if there is a yard) I stay close with them the whole time as they sniff around. I always play with the dog(s) by playing tug-of-war or fetch and am attentive with potty breaks and to ensure the meals are correct and at the right time. Something I personally do for my dogs back home is wet their food with warm water for a few minutes so it is softer for them to chew, so I understand the importance of how your dog is fed!
“Jenna was amazing! We were nervous leaving our dog with a new person for so long the first time and it went great! She checks in frequently, lets us know what we need, & is clearly a good person since my nervous dog warmed up to her so quickly.”
About: I've raised my mini Australian Sheperd, Piko, since she was a puppy. I've petsat for neighbors multiple times in the past, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I currently have open availability any day of the week, and am eager to work anytime with you and your pet(s). Shoot me a message if you'd like to book with me! I can give your pet plenty of attention and playtime, and will make sure that the pet's location is known at all times of the day.
About: I've been around pets my entire life! I've had puppies and kittens all the way to senior dogs and cats ( our dog prefers the term golden girl vs senior.) I'm the kind of person that says hello to a dog on a walk before the human. Essentially animals bring me joy whenever I see them. Our current children include our 15 year dog named Demeter and a 10 year old cat named Zephyr. Do they run the show and our lives? Absolutely!! I'm looking forward to meeting your pets soon! I recently left my 13 year career in sales to go back to school and flip my career. That being said I have ample amounts of spare time (when I'm not in class) to meet your pets and treat them like my own. I can take any type of special requests and make sure your fur baby is happy and taken care of. Special needs? Done. Special diet? Done. Extra walks and cuddles? Done.
“Alura is totally worth the 5 stars! I hate leaving my little guy, but it’s such a relief knowing that he’s in such good hands when I have to be away. I can’t thank Alura enough, and I definitely hope she is able to watch after my fur kid again when needed in the future.”
About: I am a French bulldog mom of 2 dogs. 4 yr old Remy and 6 yr old Wilbur. They are crazy and have a lot of energy. I grew up since I was little with dogs and cats in the home and have loved taking care of them. I let dogs be on the couch. I will take your dog on a lot of walks and have lots of play time. Cuddles on the couch too! I have a house and a good small fenced yard. According to family members my house is the doggy resort. l was also told my happy place is with dogs/animals. I couldn’t agree more! I only take 1 dog at a time so I can devote more time to your pup. I might consider two. Please let me know if you have any questions (about availability, pricing, etc.). I’m pretty easy going. If it shows I’m not available on my calendar feel free to still reach out, I might be available. Wilbur, Remy, and I are happy to meet you! **I will not take: large dogs (even if they’re under 40lbs), Alpha dogs, and dogs that pee inside** . I am currently on winter break from nursing school. That starts back up January 12th so I will not be here all day everyday once that starts up again. Currently though I work full time from home, and are home most of the time. I have a small fenced yard. I also have a doggy door built in the screen so pups can go in and out easily when they need to potty or bathe in the sun if I am not outside with them. Birds and squirrels frequent my backyard so if your dog likes to chase those and watch, they’ve got a front row seat! When I’m not home they can be crated if needed, or roam free inside, and I keep all doors locked. I also have security cameras inside and outside of my home. You can reach me any time, day or night with questions. I work full time from home. I am home majority of the time when not in school, attention to your pup is a top priority! I have a fenced yard and two dogs for your pet to enjoy! I also have cameras outside. Tons of toys and chew things for dogs to enjoy as well.
“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Minnehaha
Rebecca checked in on time twice a day and took great care of Arlo. He likes to go outside on his leash and she sent me plenty of pics on their “walks.” Arlo loves his humans and I felt terrible leaving his at my mom’s house for three days but Rebecca was in touch with me all of the way and put me at ease. I highly recommend Rebecca!
I had a great experience with Michelle taking care of my cat. She was reliable, completed each drop-in visit on time, and provided lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
Jessica is a wonderful cat sitter, solid communicator, and great cat photographer! We so appreciated the care she put into taking care of our furry family members, checking in on our travel plans, and the updates/photos she shared with us so we could feel close with them while we traveled. ♥️

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.
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 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.
