About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently work very part time. Typically 2 shifts a week in the evenings. The longest I would be away from your pets would be approximately 9 hours 1-2x weekly. I am also on call for my aging family members. They are close so my time away is minimal. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
“Michael did a great job of taking care of our cat Damon! Kept us updated and sent some pictures as well. He did the optional task as well, he is a true animal person. Thanks again Michael!”
“Jennifer is great, and I would use her again when the need arises. She kept in regular contact, followed all my detailed instructions, and sent pictures with each of her visits. My pets were happy and healthy when I returned home.”
“Christina did a fantastic job caring for our cat, Lucy, and administered her insulin masterfully. She went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I have been reliably caring for homes and pets for over 20 years, you can count on me to be there for your fur babies Housekeeping and pet care are my work, so you can count on me to find time for your pets. Available daily to put them first I have a fenced yard and a quiet neighborhood to make your pets comfortable and safe. One friendly dog, an old kitty and myself to deliver playtime and snuggles as needed
About: I grew up with pets of all kinds, I have been a veterinary assistant for 3 years and have been pack-hiking with dogs full time for about 8 months now. I should be regularly available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons and evenings, and the occasional weekend. Those mornings and the other days, I work full time with dogs, either pack-hiking or doggy daycare. I do not do sitting, I only do walking as I have pets at home that are my responsibility and I live with other people.
About: I have always loved dogs. They are the very best of us. My last two dogs lived to 17 years old so I'm very familiar with the needs of elderly dogs and my current dog (4 years old) we got as a puppy. Anything you need I can handle with love and confidence. Happy to send updates and pictures. Our pets are family. I'm a local photographer so I get to set my own schedule. I can mold it to your pet's needs. I'm active and wake up early. I have laminate floors and a completely fenced in large back yard. I understand every animal is different and since I work from home, we do not have a pet door so even indoor pets are safe. In your home I'm happy to follow your rules and respect boundaries. Happy to send pictures and updates!
“Sarah took amazing care of our 2 kitties while we were camping for 5 days! She updated us daily with photos and let us know how they were doing every time. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for pets since I was a child. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. As a retired pet sitter with a flexible schedule, I can give your pets the time, attention, companionship, and frequent potty breaks they deserve throughout the day. I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. I also have experience caring for cats, alpacas, goats, chickens, and cows, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I share my home with my sweet senior Beagle, who is very laid-back, gentle, and gets along well with other animals. His calm personality helps visiting pets feel welcome and at ease. While my yard is not fenced, I live in a wonderful, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for safe leash walks, sniff adventures, or stroller rides for senior pets who still enjoy getting outside. For added peace of mind, a veterinary clinic is conveniently located right at the bottom of my street should an emergency ever arise. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, providing them with plenty of love, patience, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. As a retiree, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care any day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings when available. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I’m happy to work around their schedule to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. “For everyone’s safety, I only allow dogs outdoors while securely leashed unless otherwise instructed by the owner.” As a previous owner of two small Yorkies, who sadly passed away from old age, I know how important it is for them to continuously be watched due to predators etc. I will always be very cautious with your prize possessions. I occasionally have my 7 year old grandson in my home, but he is great with animals. He’s only at my place a couple times a week.
“Derek is an awesome pet sitter! I’ve booked him multiple times to watch my kitties while we’re away. He’s very communicative, confirms details before our trip starts, and leaves great daily check-in notes/pics. He has lots of experience with pets and clearly loves animals. Super great sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats alike since I was eleven years old. While cats and dogs are my favorites to take care of, I also have experience caring for rodents, reptiles, and amphibians. I work from home in a corporate position, but I have easily set up a portable workspace so I can work from a client's home and always be around for their pets. I am a very calm, very patient person, and have worked with dogs and cats with quite varying personalities. I work very well with energetic animals and can handle pretty much any animal mood, including jumpy dogs and angry cats.

I highly recommend Jennifer to take care of your pets. We were gone for two weeks and she took wonderful care of our two kitties. I saw consistency, wonderful care and awesome communication which provides for that peace of mind we all want when we are away from our homes and animals. Jennifer followed directions perfectly and I will definitely reach out to Jennifer for pet care again😊
Natalie is amazing I have two cats one is a Tuxedo who is very friendly. And a Calico cat who’s very shy and hides whenever I had someone watch her she got that way because we’ve moved several times. Natalie is a cat whisperer. She took such good care of Allie and Kit, but I was totally blown away. The Alley was letting her pet her and feed the princess her food definitely recommend Natalie and I will definitely have her take care of the kitties 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
