“Thank you so much Jenny! I did not worry a bit with you in charge while I was away. Bear seems to have done quite well. From our initial meet-and-greet to your thank you note and cute bow tie for Bear, your attention to your customers (humans and pets) has been top notch! Thank you so much for your dedication and passion! You will hear from me again!”
“Katie is amazing! This is the second time I’ve worked with her. My babies love her and she gives me peace of mind when I’m not home. She spends time and cuddles with them and sends me pics and videos. Love her!”
“Leslie was great! She left our house the way she found it and loved on my sweet kitties while we were away. She sent pictures letting me know they were ok, which I very much appreciated! She followed my food directions perfectly. She was very accommodating and didn't mind changing out my cats' stinky litterbox lol ? If I have to leave town again, I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello. Call me Kathy. I love all animals especially dogs and I have raised and cared for many over the years. I enjoy having other dogs in my home so that my own Teddy can socialize and make new friends. I have lots of time for long walks or lazy snoozes on the couch with my pooches. I love all breeds and most of my friends have a furry family member. When they go away they depend on me to care for their precious pets because they trust me and they know I will love and care for their pets just like I do my own. I am dependable and reliable and enjoy having fun with the dogs and teaching them new tricks. I live in an apartment but the property has lots of places to walk and run including a large, fenced-in dog park where the pups can run and play leash-less and carefree. This is a great opportunity for the dogs to meet and greet other pets in the area and just have fun together. Plenty of water is made available for the pooches as well as balls and toys. So, if you are looking for a place to leave your precious friend when you go away, trust Comfy Canine Care to give your pets the love and “at home” experience that you want them to have. So, reserve a spot for your furry friend today at Comfy Canine Care. I am retired now so I have lots of time for pet sitting and walking around the neighborhood and to the dog park on a regular basis. The dogs are allowed anywhere {including furniture but only if it is allowed in your own home}. Please let me know if there are any restrictions.
“Sophie was wonderful for my anxious girl, Roxie! I felt very comfortable leaving her in Sophie's care, and she was very willing to do all the little things that I told her would make Roxie feel more cozy and safe, and even spent some extra time playing with her! If you have a dog that has anxiety, or has any issue that requires a little extra care, Sophie will go the extra mile for you!”
“Very professional with written care plan and taking notes during meet & greet. Really appreciated the attention to detail. Brought a concern with one of the community cats to our concern and even asked is she needed to do anything. Really observant and present when she was on her visits with our guys. Absolutely recommend her as a caregiver.”
About: My 7+ years of experience began with a dedicated focus on providing compassionate care for the pets of my family and friends. This has given me an intimate understanding of the trust required to be a great pet sitter. Provided regular, energetic walks to ensure physical and mental stimulation. Organized park visits for safe socialization and off-leash play in designated areas, Offered comprehensive overnight care, maintaining pets' routines and providing a sense of comfort while their owners were away. As a stay-at-home mom with an 8-month-old, my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pet's needs. I am able to provide a constant, watchful presence, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding a caregiver who will treat your furry family member with the same love and care you do. Please know that having my child with me will not hinder my ability to provide your pet with all the care and attention they need. My primary focus is on your pet. My day is structured around their feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime. My baby is in a carrier or stroller during walks, allowing me to fully focus on your pet's safety and well-being. During feeding and playtime, I use a playpen or a secure area to ensure my baby is safe and my hands are free to give your pet my undivided attention. To ensure both your pet's and my child's safety, I can ensure they have separate spaces. My child will be in a secure playpen, stroller, or carrier in a designated area of the home while your pet and I are playing, feeding, or training.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they get the best care. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and small pets. I’m comfortable with any animal! I’m currently a full time nanny so I’m only available in the evenings after about 5:30/6.On fridays I’m available all day. I have 5 cats and 2 guinea pigs that I take care of in my home. They all get fed daily and cleaned up after.
About: Reliable and detailed oriented! I will get to know their personal needs , personality, and what works for them! Your pets second favorite human lol I am a body piercer. I work 10 minutes away from my home. I have a set time to take my puppy out as he is still going through potty training My apartment is pretty open for the fur babies to room around and I have a small fur baby of my own that can play with! There is a big area of grass around my complex where they can go potty and play and a dog park right up the street.
About: I’ve had pets as far as I can remember. I’ve always been the one to take them outside for walks or potty breaks. Always fed them. I have volunteered at a dog rescue for 3 years training and handling dogs of all sizes. I have a dog of my own. My beautiful husky. Whom I spend as much time as I can with him. But am willing to show that love and attention to your pet as well. I prefer to keep the pet in the comfort of their own home. Being somewhere new and not familiar can stress pets out. I’d rather they be comfortable in their own home.

Luca was the best sitter we’ve hired! The cats were well taken care of and it looked like they got a lot of snuggles. We came back to a clean house and happy kitties! The communication was prompt and all of my extensive directions were followed to a T! If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares hire Luca! 😊

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
