“Hire Edmy!!!!! She’s fantastic!!!!! We will definitely hire her again!!!!! She is very kind and sweet to us, but especially with our cat, Sheldon, who is picky about letting people pet him. She gave him lots of pets, but also brushed him and played Cat TV for him. She gave his meds on time. She cleaned his litter box each visit. Sheldon is fed on a schedule for medical reasons. She always came on time. If you hire Edmy, your pets are in good hands.”
“Tracy was an excellent choice. He took great care of our kittens, took pictures, and was always available should we have any questions. We would happily work with Tracy in the future and would highly recommend him.”
About: I grew up on a farm! So from chasing chickens to rounding up horses, I’ve had the best time being around animals. The current lady of the household is named Stix. I am working part time at the moment so I’ll have plenty of time for your fur babies wants and needs. My schedule is flexible. My dog at home has a safe loving environment. I’d love to provide that to your loved fur baby by staying true to your wants and needs for them.
“Bree was awesome and the cats appeared to like her also. She sent pictures and even took out the trash. We will be using her services again. It is so relaxing to be away and know that your pets are happy and well taken care of. I can't say enough about Bree.”
“Tonie was really responsive and sent a lot of photos of my cat while I was on vacation. I had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Will rebook in the future!”
“Kaylie did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat. She followed all the instructions we gave and made sure to give them both lots of attention and petting. We would definitely hire her again.”
“We were nervous to leave our 8 month old kitten for 10 days, but Brianna to the rescue! She mostly stayed at the house with Lucy and kept her busy. She sent lots of cute photos and videos so we knew our little girl was being well cared for. Brianna was a trooper - even staying over when she came down with bronchitis! We will definitely book Brianna again when we go away. Lucy loved her, and so do we!”
About: I've grown up with animals throughout my life and currently am going to school for psychology while working as a Vet Tech. I have been dog-sitting, cat-sitting, house sitting, play times, and dog-walking for the past 12 years for neighbors and family, as well as people from my mom's work and their neighbors. I have trained my dogs I currently have and have been through the puppy stages multiple times. For the time being I am available all day everyday for whatever you may need whether that be mid day walks or just a playtime visit I don't provide services in my own home due to my apartment’s dog policy but I will gladly go to your home so your animals are still having someone play with them and give them love.
About: I’m currently looking for full time work so while I do that, my schedule is almost 100% flexible. I can do just about unlimited appointments most days depending on driving distance. If I’m not going to be available, I typically know well enough ahead of time. My home is maintained for the comfort of a little gray cat. The biggest things I look for with cats is litter box usage, eating, and drinking. Not every cat wants to interact but they deserve the company none the less. Counters should be kept clear of knives or anything else that could cut the unsuspecting paw, windows should be closed when cats are home alone and screened if opened at all. I also move anything shatter prone away from ledges, especially if cats are alone, in case they are tipped. I unplug most items if I’m gone for an extended period as an added precaution.
About: I grew up taking care of and pet sitting a half dozen dogs between my own and cousins’ houses. I take pride in treating your pets like family and ensuring a good time is had by all. My schedule is open allowing me to take care of your dogs in your home, mine, or engage in a daily walk schedule, plan etc. I’m happy to oblige to the care of your pets in your home, but generally wouldn’t be boarding, so to say, animals in my own home. I have a vehicle outfitted with a safety net, as well as the experience to know that dogs can surprise you and it’s better safe than sorry. Leashes are constantly held and my attention is not often distracted from your pet while they’re in my care!
“Amazing! I have a disability that makes keeping up with my litter boxes. Charity has come over almost every week for a year and a half. She is flexible with scheduling if something comes up, she is efficient and thorough, she is very personable, and even my grumpiest cat has come around to her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Dominic was great at accommodating a last minute request as I was going out of town for a funeral. Did a great job taking care of my cat and giving her eye drops.”
About: Hi I am Stephanie. I am a life long dog owner and lover of all animals. I currently have a Cavapoo named Sophie who is my little ball of attitude. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, labs, cocker spaniel, doodles, German shepherds,and French Bulldogs. I am willing to watch in your home as my girl isn't fond of guests. I work full time but depending on the area of town I am available for midday walks and care as well more and evening. I would love to provide amazing care for your pup while you enjoy a relaxing vacation or are out of town for any reason. “My rates reflect Rover’s service fees. I’m happy to discuss pricing for longer stays, repeat bookings, or unique circumstances.” I currently work full time on the north side of town but am located in New Haven in. I get 1 hr for lunch and if you are located huntertown or in this area I can definitely do midday walks and cuddles. Walks, let on lead, electric fence or anyway you prefer your pets to do their business. Feeding, playing and of course cuddles to begin and end the day.
About: I have had cats & medium-to-large breed dogs my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs, especially grumpy cats, and giving oral medications. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom to my spoiled rottweiler, Remington; so I have time during the day for walks or check-ins. I am a stay-at-home dog mom, so I have my days & evenings free to do check-ins or walks. I do NOT currently offer housesitting or boarding because of my spoiled rottweiler. 🐶💓 I ensure leashes are well fitting and follow all instructions provided. I secure any escape routes, and double check doors are locked or secure. I also make sure any choking hazards are put up or disposed of. Ensuring the safety of your pet is my number 1 priority.
About: I have had my own dogs, plus taken care of my friends dogs in my home for 20+ years. I also have 4 dog adoring teenagers who also will love on your fur baby. We have a 2 year old Morkie with a big personality. I am a stay at home homeschool mom. Other than taking teens to/from work or at the gym, I am routinely home for dog care. There is rarely a time when I or one of my children isn’t home. I am able to walk your dog at our home or yours, or let them in our fenced back yard if they are staying with me. I have a 6 pound Morkie (Winston) that likes other dogs (and cats)-he has many dog cousins who live with my adult kids and visit frequently.
“Stormy was very kind and responsive. My cat spent nearly a week with her and I got updates / pictures every day. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in great hands ☺️”
About: I am currently a veterinary assistant at a large local animal shelter in fort wayne. I worked mainly in the feline department for a year then moved to the medical sides of things. I want people to rest assured that I will treat their pet as if they were mine I go to school full time and work part time but I will be as flexible and as helpful as I am able to be! I have a spare bedroom if need be, but I will travel as much as I need to, to make sure your best is being cared for!
About: I do have a full time job Monday-Friday, but my hours are flexible and I can pop out for a cat care visit when needed. I’m completely open on weekends so I’m available to give as much cat love as needed. I start and end each day with my cat children. Each morning they get love and attention and again when I come home from work. Litter boxes are scooped each day. We have an auto feeder, but the girls get canned food each day for extra liquid to their diet. Everyone gets brushed weekly and nails clipped monthly. We visit the vet each year for wellness visits. When I come to your home, we will go over the pet questionnaire and I’ll find out about your cat children. Your cats will be treated with the same love, attention and care that I provide my own.

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.

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 .

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.
