About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.
“Jen was phenomenal as usual. She puts a lot thought and effort into the care of my cat. I'm grateful for her flexibility and excellent communication. I highly recommend her for the care of your cat or dog.”
“Keezing is incredible as always! It’s hard for us to find someone who we are comfortable leaving our dogs with, and he gives us absolute peace of mind when he’s taking care of our dogs! I would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve always lived in a household with cats and dogs - growing up, my parents had cats and dogs and now that I live on my own, I have 2 kitties of my own - Pumpkin and Jasper! I have pet sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers and am always so happy to do it! I work fully remote and have flexible hours, so it is easy for me to drop in! I also could work at your home and spend time with your babies if you have wifi! I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my 2 kitties. I’ve had them both since they were kittens - one is 5 years old now and the other is 3 years old. They are spoiled with treats, play time, brushing, and kisses!
“Nicolette was great! She took care of our cat and guinea pigs while we were gone for a week and they were all very happy and healthy upon our return. She is trustworthy and friendly and reliable with communication. Thank you Nicolette! :)”
“River was really great! We had a bad experience with a previous sitter (not on Rover), so we were a bit nervous. But he did really great. Always had fast responses, easy to arrange meetings for keys and whatnot, very friendly, seemed really caring and knowledgeable, kept their litter clean and water full, tried his best to get acquainted with them even though they’re pretty shy. Really no complaints. Would definitely recommend!”
“Julie was amazing! I felt so safe with her in my home and with my pets. Our willow loved her so much. She also administered medicine for us while we were out and did an amazing job. We will definitely be inviting her back to our home!”
About: I've had dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life as well as having two cats. With my most recent dog, I took it upon myself to care for and train starting when I was 14. Open all day on the weekends and can do weekdays after 5:30. Looking to help out busy people with their furry friends. Schedule can be moved around with enough notice I love playing with dogs and have no fear when interacting. Don’t mind playful/energetic dogs and will play with them if desired. Look forward to meeting yall
“My cat is very skittish, and Sierra did a great job meeting him where he's at!! She took care of him and sent pictures while respecting his space :) I'll definitely book with her again!”
“Jacob was great! He came by to check in on our dog while we were away for the day and was super friendly, responsible, and easy to communicate with. He sent us photos and updates during the visit, which we really appreciated. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands and would definitely book with Jacob again!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. I trained my 100lb dog from a puppy and have worked with a variety of other animals. I've had dogs and cats all my life so I have your pets covered! I'm currently a nursing student so I have a flexible schedule depending on the days. I have classes throughout the day but can stop by both before and after classes. I have practice working with dogs and work to make a comfortable, fun environment for them through active play, attentive care, and abiding by your wishes for your dog.
About: I have taken care of my family and friends pets for many years. I try my best to understand the pets energy that they display and follow any directions given by the owner that makes the pet feel comfortable and safe. I work as a baker so I have several days where I am done with work either by 11 AM or 1 PM. I am also occasionally available all day on Fridays. I respect the directions given by the owner and try my best to understand the energy given by the pet I am sitting. I do not want to cross any boundaries that make the pet feel unsafe. I am patient with pets and try my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.
“Ben provided excellent care for our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week! He did 3 drop-in visits a day, arrived on time, and provided pics and videos. THEN, when our flight was delayed and we were stuck for two additional days, he covered those visits as well, which was amazing as we were already under a ton of stress due to the delay. We will definitely book Ben again and highly recommend.”

Christina is ABSOLUTELY the best. Truly the one you want looking after your animals! Super sweet, very attentive, and extremely trustworthy. This was my first time using rover and having someone come into my house to watch my animals, and Christina couldn’t have been a better choice. Easy to stay in touch with her, she responds very quickly, and she gives daily updates and pictures with great detail. She really put our mind at ease while we were gone for a week, and our kitties loved hanging out with her. Our house was clean and exactly how we left it, water bowls full and cat box cleaned…. So extremely thankful. We will ALWAYS been looking for Christina—you should too!
Stephanie was fantastic with my dog! I scheduled a drop in since I was going to be out of town and she was very helpful and took him outside and fed him. There was clear communication throughout the time spent leading up to the visit. I'm very grateful Stephanie was able to help on short notice. I definitely recommend her! She made my dog feel at ease while I was gone and she clearly has a lot of experience helping pets.
This is our second time booking with Vanessa and we are 100% sure there will be more in the future. Finn our cat is obviously smitten with her because he doesn’t pose for pictures for just anyone, much less even hang out within picture proximity with most strangers. She’s no stranger anymore and it really does show. Always feel totally at ease when he’s in her care.
Sammi was amazing!! She took great care of our cat Nora - played creative games with her, sent a plethora of photos, gave Nora cuddles & treats, and left awesome detailed Rover cards. She followed all the house & cat care instructions as well. Would 10”% book Sammi again! :)

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
