About: I’ve always loved dogs and how unique each one of them are. To this day it amazes me how a pet can be your best friend , even if they can’t respond. They are the best listeners and the best huggers! I am home all day so I can take care of your fur children all day! It’s just my husband my daughters and I. Must be house trained .I do take more than one dog at once so please let me know if you want your dog to just be the only one here!! I have a 5 year old fur baby, I’m unsure his breed since we got him from a shelter but he’s super friendly , Also have 3 daughters daughter that loves animals just like me! I have a fully fenced yard as well!
“Allison was absolutely AMAZING with our babies! She watched our 4 cats while we were on a cruise and I cannot thank her enough for how wonderful she was with them. They all seemed to love her, and she loved them. Highly recommend her to anybody who is in search of a wonderful pet sitter!”
“We are so glad we found Anna! She is just the sweetest person and our cats love her (and one of our cats doesn’t like anyone!). Anna is flexible, punctual, and a great communicator. Highly recommend her and we will be using her again!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. As a RVT rest assured they will be taken care of while you are gone! I’m happy to exercise and entertain them while you are gone! I do work full time but can offer drop in services before and after work, as well as my lunch break. I am available any day of the week! I am a trained veterinary professional and feel comfortable with most set ups people have. I do not offer in home boarding or overnights. I am happy to work with the clients routine.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and cats for friends, family, and members of my community. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing fresh water, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, giving plenty of attention and playtime, and following each pet’s specific routine. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their well-being at all times. I am a teacher during the school year and have a flexible schedule during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. During the summer, I have much greater availability and can accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs throughout the day. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, as I have four cats of my own, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet. I provide care in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits and dog walking services. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I work to maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself with four cats, I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care and will treat your pets as if they were my own.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family members, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pup enjoys a nice walk, playtime, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to help! I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and select house-sitting services. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and select overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, some playtime, or a little company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits their needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings, and follow your instructions carefully. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, making sure everything is clean and secure before leaving. You can always expect communication and photo updates for peace of mind!
About: My experience working in a veterinary hospital over the years has given me valuable hands on experience caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling pets, understanding their individual needs, and recognizing signs that something may be wrong. Whether caring for senior pets, or animals who need a little extra patience and attention, I believe every pet deserves compassionate, attentive care. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I have two pets of my own a large and small breed dog that I care for daily with feedings, making sure they get their daily activities in. They are older but still sharp as a rock. I also used to care for about 8-10 outdoor cats and 4 indoor cats before I moved to North Carolina. I was doing that for about 3 years and loved every second of it. My own pets get fed around the same time every evening, we go for walks over the weekend and during the week if they are up for it. I am very good at keeping them on a schedule, however some days are different and not always the same depending on work and what life decides to throw at me. I will do my best to keep your pets on a schedule if I must and I can take them for walks, play with them, even take naps with them!
“This is the first time Chrissonna took care of my kitties and there will be more times to come. It was not an easy visit, just feeding them, but she had to give Mr Meow, my diabetic cat a shot of insulin. She also played with my kitties and I know they loved it. Thank you Chrissonna!”
“Amelia is great! She is reliable and communicates! There was a miscommunication of the dates needed but once we got that sorted everything went smoothly. I will definitely rebook Amelia again ☺️”
“Laurel is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Waylon. She communicated with us at each visit and sent pictures. Waylon is going to miss her and all the attention she gives! We would recommend Laurel to any pet owner!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
