About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.
About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
“Katie was amazing! She is incredibly kind and the fur babies loved her. She gave detailed recaps of her visits and went above and beyond while we were away. 🐾”
“Wonderful with my Colby! Highly recommended. Heather is reliable and was available in a pinch when my sitter was unavailable. She bonded with him quickly and I feel secure with him in her care.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and began dog sitting and walking for family friends while I was in high school. Since then, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds. I also had a Corgi of my own, which gave me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joy of being a dog owner. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the personalized care, attention, and love they deserve. While I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your pets. As a medical student, I'm organized, responsible, and attentive to detail. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of affection, exercise, and enrichment, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. I am currently a medical student studying for my board exams and spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying, so dog walks, playtime, and pet visits fit naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and ensuring your pet receives the time, exercise, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual personalities and energy levels. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and following any household guidelines. I'll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Amy was so amazing. Always on time and very good with our senior dog down to our very energetic golden retriever. Very kind and so communicative. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“Sara is a lovely young lady who has a wonderful rapport with our dog. He loved her from the moment they met. She is very responsible and we trust her with our fur baby.”
“Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.”
About: I'm a cat and dog mom (cats are 10, pup is 7) with over 7 years of dog walking experience. I follow leash and cleanup laws and whatever your pet rules are for your fur babies! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule! I'm most available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with plenty of weekend availability. Between the hours of 8am - 4pm are best for me. I have a fenced, dedicated dog park far removed from main roads with plenty of grass. I always have doggy doo bags available for cleanup.
“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”
“Natasha did a great job with our kitties! This was our first time using the Rover app and we were a little nervous about it, but Natasha sent us updates that put us at the ease (including letting us know when we had packages delivered) and we came home to happy kitties. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Hi everyone! I am currently in higher education, looking to spend my time away taking care of furry friends in the neighborhood. I have experience with animals going back to my first job at 14, working as a pet bather for a groomer for about 3 years. This gave me a range from working with rowdy fun labs to small and fun chihuahuas. I am very active so taking your friend on long walks is perfect for me as well. I am also fine with any different dog breed or cats. Also, no allergies for me! I love all pets large or small, cat or dog, and thank you for trusting me with an important piece of your life. Please feel free to contact me with any more information or questions you may need! I am currently working in higher education, and have some flexibility in my scheduling! Message me anytime if you have specific dates in mind as I will always try and accommodate. I have my own puppy with a fenced in yard. But I am also an active runner and hiker and am able to go on long walks as needed with your pet. I will am very willing to do a meet and greet with you to make sure I can care for your furry family member as needed.
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
About: I have plenty of references and experience with pet care. Growing up, I always had a dog and cat in the home. Currently, I live in an apartment and can’t get a dog. My boyfriend is allergic to cats, so I can’t get a cat either 😢 But I have plenty of friends and family who I have given pet care to. I can read animals pretty well and always prioritize their needs. I currently work full time but would love to use any extra time I have to help out your family. I work 3pm-11pm Sunday-Thursday. I am available all weekends unless my calendar says otherwise. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their needs and make sure they have everything needed. I like to keep the parents in the know of how they are doing and update with pictures as often as possible 😊
About: I have one senior pit mix who I currently take care of, and I have also pet sat for both dogs and cats for family/friends. I have lots of flexibility to take care of different animals. I am currently off of school, which means that I am available all day, every day to attend to your pets individual personalities and needs. I will meet with your dog for one-on-one playtime with toys and lots of cuddles. At least one or more walks with plenty of potty breaks and feeding if needed. I try my best to cater to the individual needs of your animal.
About: 2+ years kennel experience. Including but not limited to, walking, bathing, feeding and giving any oral medication. Since working there I have been a pet sitter for many of my friends and family. I love caring for all animals of any size! I am currently available on WEEKENDS and 5pm - 8pm weekdays. I will care and love your pups and/ or kitties, like my own, during our walks and/or visits! My pups and I are lucky enough to have a fenced in yard of our own to play in, but at least once a day I like to take them for a walk. I will care for your pet however they need to be tended to.

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.
