“Leilani kept in constant contact with me during my trip, making it easier to leave my 2 cats. Clarence, my 1.5 year old gave her a 2-paw rating for playing with him and his favorite toy...a clothes line 😸”
“Annabelle did a great job with Grayson after I booked last minute. Took plenty of pictures each day and had good communication. Grayson is a pretty easy going cat, but he hates being alone and he definitely seemed happy with her dropping in to check on him everyday. Would happily book again when I need a sitter!”
About: I live in a three bedroom single-family home down the street from a dog-friendly park. Codorus State park is nearby and long walks will be taken along the lake. I am very clean, my Labrador Retriever mix is crate trained and sleeps on the floor by my bed, so your pup can, too! I actively attend dog training courses and understand all areas of pet ownership. My goal is to make sure your pet enjoys their stay away from home and is as comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have and will make sure your pet gets extra love during your time apart. Regardless if your dog has energy for days or is older and prefers to sleep on comfy blankets, my home can accommodate both types of dogs. Dogs will have access to my couch while home. I am able to host all sized dogs at my home. Morning 7:00 - 7:30 am - Wake Up, Walk, and Potty 7:30 - 7:45 am - Training 7:45 - 8:00 am - Breakfast 8:30 - 9:00 am - Potty 9:00 am - Settle in for the Day Middle of the Day 1:00 - 1:30 pm - Potty and Play Evening 5:30 - 6:00 pm - Potty and a Walk 6:00 - 6:15 pm - Training 6:15 pm - 7:15 pm - Settle In 7:15 pm - 7:30 pm - Dinner 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm - Play Time 10:00 pm - Potty and Crate I take a bit of extra time before I leave to make sure everything’s secure, nothing’s been left out, and the dog has what they need before myself (or you) come back. I always check fence gates before letting a dog outside. I always lock the doors, and make sure I don’t step outside without the key, just in case the doorknob is the type that can lock behind you. I do one last check. Particularly with walks and drop-in visits, dogs spend a good amount of time alone in the home. I walk through the area the dog will stay in and check that all trash can lids are locked, no food is on the counters, and that any gates or crates set up are secure. I give myself some spare time between each client. I have a backup plan in case something happens to my car (AAA has been a lifesaver!).
“Theresa has been amazing! My pup is pretty energetic but easy to take care of & she handles him amazingly. I love that she spends the full 30 minutes walking him as I am working so I know he’s not missing out! I am very happy to trust her with my fur baby! And will be booking again!”
“Excellent experience. This was our first time using a Rover and from the initial meet and greet with John, we could tell he is a friendly, honest person who is an all around animal lover. He kept us updated throughout his time with our cat, including pictures, and he went above and beyond by leaving a written record of everything that he did each day to care for her. We will definitely be using John again and would recommend him to anyone else looking for a trustworthy person to care for their pets.”
“Alexis took very good care of Minnie over a 4-day visit, our longest time away. Minnie is super shy and tends to stay under the bed and not come out for anybody, but Alexis has been doing an amazing job of coaxing her out. On one visit, she even had Minnie purring and out in the living room, which is quite an accomplishment. Alexis took care of all Minnie's needs and even took her food bowl closer to her hiding spot on those visits when she was not going to come out. We think that over time, Minnie will get more comfortable with Alexis and will come out of hiding. We would definitely love to work with Alexis again and would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“I could not be happier with the care given by Fraya to our two cats while we were vacationing! I will definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet care. She is truly a gem!”
About: I have owned breeds from Yorkies to Saint Bernards. I have no breed prejudice. I have experience with Rottweilers, pit bulls, bulldogs, etc. so I have no problem caring for the breeds others may not be comfortable with. I worked for a pet store for a while so I have experience handling multiple dogs at a time, specifically young puppies so I can handle a challenge! I have experience giving medications, grooming/bathing, nail trimming, walking. I am currently a stay at home mom to a toddler, So the majority of my day is open to provide services! Mainly during the day between 8:30-3:00 but can be available for evenings as well. I put your animals safety as well as my own first. I understand some animals need specific routine and will follow your directions very strictly. I am okay with being recorded in your home( pet cameras) as I know Id want to assure my animals were being well cared for as well.
“Marshall is an incredible pet sitter! He is very caring, responsible, and thoughtful! Because of him we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing someone was caring for our cats just how we would! He took pictures and gave us updates on the cats as well which we appreciated! We are new to Rover and we are glad that Marshall was our first experience using Rover! Thank you Marshall!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for animals.

“Rita did a fantastic job. Boops and our home were well cared for and Boops was happy and in great shape. She went above and beyond and brought in a couple of packages for us and even kindly took lit the trash for us while we were away. She kept us updated and did a fantastic job. Thank you so much for a great job!”

About: Hello! I’m Mags (Rover requires me to use my legal name) and I love all animals I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a child but because experienced working with dogs and cats (and some bunnies) while working for the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was a veterinarian assistant for one year and then became an adoptions Manager for three years. This was the most fulfilling experience of my adult life, being able to help animals and the community daily. I recently lost my closest companion, Xander, about a month ago. He was 13 years old and I had him since he walked into the humane society at two months old. Through him I gained even more experience with aging dogs, medical care and many behavioral changes as he aged. While using positive reinforcement training we navigated 6 military moves, life adaptions to aging and the introduction of two kittens. I will take all this experience and use it to provide the same amount of love an attention for you furry family members as I did for Xander. I am currently employed part time and have many days free as well as can stay over night or board animals in my home. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with any client’s schedule as needed. I currently only have two cats in my home, so I’m able to provide boarding for cat friendly animals. I have a fenced in back yard and am usually not gone from the house for more than four hours. I also am available for staying over nights at clients houses for a more comfortable experience for everyone in the family.
About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.

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.

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 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.
