About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, Small animals like mice, guinea pigs, fish, turtles. All way to farm animals like sheep, goats and even horses. Due to growing up in small town farming community. Currently I am supervising and helping my teenage daughter care for multiple miniature and full size horses in Leverett MA. I also have two wonderfully spoiled cats and a dog at home. Have some openings in evening and most weekends as at this time I do have a full time 9-5 job. Looking to see where this goes. I do not have fenced in yard but I keep my current dog on tie out or 50ft lead. Very quiet not normally traveled area around house with big yard to play. At clients home depends on environment there. Would prefer no off leash unless securely fenced area.
“Maggie provided excellent cat care and house sitting. I appreciated that she fit us in last minute and accommodated our schedule around some other commitments she had. I would definitely book her again!”
“Excellent pet sitter! My babies were well taken care of and it is such a relief to have someone trustworthy to handle everything while we are away❤️. Highly recommended”
“Susan was wonderful with my cats, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter. From the start, you could tell she genuinely cares deeply about animals. She asked thoughtful questions, paid close attention to detail, and ensured my cats received the best possible care. She was also very personable and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I've already rebooked her to pet-sit for me again! She’s the best.”
“Haley was a wonderful caretaker for our two cats! We got plenty of updates and pictures. Both cats took to her immediately and soon they were playing and making biscuits 🥰. We appreciate the time she spent getting to know them and would definitely book again!”
“If we could give Ryann 10 stars we would! She diligently checked in, went above and beyond what was asked of her, and made sure our kitties were not only fed, but loved on while we were gone. We would trust her again and again! So glad to know Ryann for any future care we would need for our pets.”
“Kiersten did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. She followed our instructions, and our cats were relaxed and well fed. One of our cats has been sick and she gave him his medicines, and he is looking even healthier than when we left!”
“Ayden was a fantastic house sitter. He took incredible care of our numerous animals, and even noticed that our pellet stove had malfunctioned and let us know! We highly recommend him.”
“Alaina was amazing! She has a wonderful calming presence and her love for animals is evident. Excellent communication and Otis loved her. I would highly recommended Alaina and we will definitely reach out again for help with Otis.”
About: Experienced in caring for puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I provide walks, playtime, and can manage medications or special diets. I treat every pet like a cherished member of the family, ensuring they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day. I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate many daytime and evening requests with advance notice. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine consistent. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of attention, while also keeping owners updated with pictures and messages. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have 2 years of professional experience caring for a pitbull/boxer mix, and have been a pet owner for dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with young, high energy dogs. I can also add à la carte services to the visit (ie watering a plant, feeding fish, distributing medication). I currently work in education so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays and have open availability during weekends. On weekends I can do boarding bookings as well. I have two friendly dogs that can keep your pup company and a dog park 10 minutes from me. There’s a small yard where I can walk dogs around leashed.
“Lori is absolutely amazing - left for two weeks over the holidays, and came home to my cat Finn healthy and happy as ever! She was super accomodstkng and easy to work with, and always sent me the cutest photos. Will definitely be contacting Lori again if I’m traveling any time in the future.”
“Kendra did an outstanding job caring for Neko and Encie, our two elderly cats who are nervous around new people and don't make friends easily. This makes it extra challenging to give Neko her insulin shots, but Kendra is so thoughtful about how she approached them that they both ended up being very comfortable with her. Neko got all her meds and they even got some pets! So grateful, thank you Kendra!”
About: Hello! I've been caring for pets since my family got our first dog when I was a toddler. We had cats, dogs, and birds in my household growing up. I am also comfy with small rodent and game type animals. I would need more snake and reptile training if you are looking for that kind of pet-care. Dogs are admittedly my favorite! Can't afford my own yet – I'm switching career fields, drastically, in hopes of a more stable life. Right now I'm building my new resume with a lot of free work, and am looking to walk dogs and pet-sit to make a little cash in the interim. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes if they are leash trained. I weigh about 100lbs myself, so any dogs that weigh more than me *must* be leash trained already. I can help you leash train your smaller dogs. I have experience with light dog-training (mostly sit, down, and stay) and would be happy to help you reinforce that as well. Hit me up! Can't wait to meet your furbabe. I work half time M-Th and am in online grad school otherwise. Im mostly looking for Saturday gigs, anytime, or evening gigs on Sun, Mon, Tues or Fri (sometime after 4:30). I do not offer services at my own home. I rent and my cats are not friendly to unknown animals. That said, I make sure my cats are spoiled as can be.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
