“Very responsible and caring dog walker. She spent quality time with her and navigated getting to our house after a storm in the area which resulted in street closures. Would recommend Raechel.”
“Bridget is a pro! She has tamed my skittish and tentative doggie—finding a way into her heart w a long patience and tolerance. Very available, responsive and great attitude! I highly recommend her.”
“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”
“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”
“Paula was great! I messaged her for a last minute walk less than 24 hours beforehand and she was immediately responsive. Great communication and took lots of pics of my pup!”
“Gianna is simply the best. We book her weekly for drop-in visits and she’s done weeklong house-sitting. The dogs (2 of them) are well-taken care of - she gives them more attention than we do. Plus we have a cancer survivor dog that still takes oral chemo and we’re comfortable entrusting his care to her. . She always goes above and beyond. On the most recent visit she actually brushed them since they were shedding. We are so happy we can have her caring for our dogs.”
“This was the first time using Rover & Kristin was an Amazing sitter. She was on time, very communicative and so nice. We didn’t worry about Lilo while she came to do daily drop ins. The pics and recaps were so sweet. You can tell Kristin is an animal lover and treats her furry clients as if they were her own. I HIGHLY recommend her 🙂”
“Paola was amazing with my cat, Jack! She sent great updates and adorable photos, which really put me at ease while I was away (especially since this was the first time I’ve left him for an extended period of time). She clearly cares a lot about animals and even brought in a package for me, which I really appreciated! I came home to a very happy cat and would definitely recommend ! :)”
“Vanessa was fantastic and professional when she came to our house to walk our dog Roxy. She was prompt, able to calmly interact with our special needs dog and provided multiple pictures and updates during her one hour stay! We will be using her as a regular sitter from now on!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic. She was so reliable and Buddy adored her. Her daily updates were thorough and the pictures she sent made me smile. I’ll definitely ask for Elizabeth’s help again without hesitation.”
About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I also have experience working with horses, which has strengthened my confidence & awareness when handling animals. I'm currently working toward a career in dog training and have cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs through both professional experience and years of pet sitting. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (9 AM-3:30 PM), with occasional Fridays until 2:30 PM. I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've cared for a wide variety of pets, including turtles, leopard geckos, and my two cats, giving me experience with both traditional and exotic animals. I've also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a child and am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. For the past four years, my family has participated in the America's VetDogs program, raising and training multiple future service dogs. Through this experience, I've gained valuable skills in animal care, consistency, positive reinforcement, and handling dogs in a variety of settings. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I currently work an 8–5 job during the weekdays, with occasional availability during lunch hours for quick walks or drop-ins when my schedule allows. Outside of that, I have early mornings, evenings, and weekends available for pet sitting, walks, and check-ins. I’m a very dedicated and reliable person, and I’m more than happy to work with pet parents to accommodate more challenging or specific schedules whenever possible. My goal is always to make sure your pets are cared for consistently and comfortably, even when life gets busy. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I always make sure pets are supervised, kept on their normal routine as closely as possible, and given a calm, secure space where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I currently live in a large one-bedroom home that provides a clean, comfortable environment for pets. Right next to my home, there is a dedicated dog park and agility area, which is perfect for safe playtime, exercise, and enrichment. In addition, there is a long paved walking trail nearby, making walks both safe and enjoyable for dogs of all energy levels. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect all instructions and household routines closely, ensuring pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their safety, cleanliness, and overall well-being at all times.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routines, whether that means high-energy play or a calm, relaxed approach. I also understand the importance of communication with owners and will always provide updates and ensure your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m reliable, organized, and make pet care a priority in my weekly schedule. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure the space is secure—doors and gates are checked, hazards are removed, and pets are always supervised during walks or play. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable area with plenty of supervision, attention, and a pet-friendly environment. I build trust by staying attentive, communicating regularly with updates and photos, and making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Erin had great communication throughout the whole process. Our meet & greet was seamless and the whole visit went great with our dog! Highly recommend. We will be booking Erin for future needs!”

It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling.

Kristen was super! She was very friendly and professional and knew exactly how to take care of our fur babies. We went away with complete confidence knowing our pets were well cared for. When our flights got cancelled, she was able to visit an extra day to help us out. She even shoveled our driveway before we got home.
Daniela provided truly exceptional cat sitting for our cat, Merlina. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, taking the time to understand and meticulously note every detail and instruction related to Merlina's routine. It was clear that Daniela cared for Merlina with great attention. She followed all of our specific instructions perfectly, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we returned, Merlina was comfortable, relaxed, and happy, which is the best indicator of the excellent care she received. We highly recommend Daniela for anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and detail-oriented cat 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.

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.
