“Sana is the best! My apartment is always in great shape and I can tell from the pictures she sends that my cats love her. She is a really good communicator and definitely my first choice to watch my cats whenever I am out of town.”
About: I’ve interacted with all types of animals and shadowed at veterinary clinics since I was a child. In the past few years, I’ve startedi helping pet sit for friends and family for periods ranging from a couple of days to a few weeks. I work 8:30-5 M-F, but have an hour lunch everyday. I have availability and reliable transportation before and after work hours as well. I make sure to follow owner preferences and safety precautions. This can mean making sure a dog stays away from other animals during walks, or making sure there is no trash around the house that the pet could easily get into.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. I find enjoyment in it because i love spending time with any pet. I’ve taken care of animals from puppy/kitten stage to senior I work full time Monday-thursday from 630am-5pm but free before work, after work, and friday-saturday-sunday. I’m always looking for something to do when i’m off of work! I feed, play, walk, and hangout with the animals! I give them the most attention that i can so they can feel content and happy
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever, so I’m familiar with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a comfortable place to relax. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for
“My two greyhounds love Auden, they get so excited and happy when they see her! Auden has cared for several of my pets over the years, including my son's crested gecko. She always sends lots of pictures and keeps us posted on daily happenings. I know my dogs are safe and happy whenever they are with her. I can't recommend her enough - she is wonderful!!”

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 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.

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 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.
