“Ashlyn was great. We scheduled her for 6 drop-in visits while we were away. She showed up on time and made sure our dogs were let out and had adequate play time. She also made sure they had plenty of water when they were out in the heat. I would definitely use her again.”
“So impressed! Sitter arrives when she says she will and stays long enough to not only complete jobs, but also spends quality time with our feline “children”!! The photos and Rover Card are a definite plus!!! Thank you so much!!!!”
“Jake took such great care of my pets! He was able to handle my cat, senior dog and our puppies, was such a lifesaver while I was out of town. The pictures he took are so cute too, would definitely recommend Jake watching your pets, he treated them with a lot of care.”
“Allison checked in on my two cats while I was abroad and she was amazing! They warmed up to her so quickly and she took great care of them. I would definitely trust her to watch my pets again.”
“Abby was so amazing while I was on vacation abroad. My cat was always excited to see and play with her. Abby was an excellent communicator and took lots of pictures for us while we were gone. I will definitely be booking with her for any future travel!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since i was 10. I have a senior German Shepard dog that requires daily walks and care, on top of that i have a disabled cat that needs daily medications, so i have experience in all fields. Im currently a high school student looking for side jobs, and i love working with animals. I go to school from 7:3--1:55, but sometimes i have free periods where i can leave and come walk/ pop in. I have lots of experience crating, walking, slightly training, feeding and cleaning up after dogs and cats. I care for my pets as if they are human, and listen to their needs.
About: I have been dog sitting since my teenage years for family, friends, neighbors, and repeat clients. I always send frequent photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind. I also have hands-on experience administering oral medications safely and on schedule. Your pup’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my top priorities! With my highly flexible schedule it will be easy for me to give your fur babies the love, time, and attention they deserve and are used to! Your pets will be safe and sound at home with me! I tailor my care to their personality, giving them all the love and attention they're comfortable with!
About: I’ve had pets in my home my entire life! Multiple dogs and at least one cat at a time. We have fostered many puppies and dogs some were medically fragile through our local humane society. As a child I learned how to be responsible for my pets and all their daily care. I am excited to meet your pets because I miss being around my own pets since I’m 4 hours from home and they are truly like one of our family members! I’m a full time student at the University of Alabama so I’m able to fit in pet care around my classes!! My classes are primarily in the morning!! I would communicate the pets needs with the owner to ensure I can provide the same care and attention they receive when their owner is at the home with them!
About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.
About: I have had a dog for years now. I left to go to college years ago and left my dog with my parents. I miss having pets around extremely. I have experience bathing, walking. playing with, and loving on dogs. I can do anything at your request. My schedule is very open as I am an online student at Alabama. My schedule does change weekly as I do have a part time job, but also make my own hours so I can accommodate. I will ensure to give your pets my full attention. I understand being paid for something your pets deserve the best of the best. I will be on time, feed, walk, and give any medications needed to your fur babies.
About: I’ve had dogs since the literal day I was born. I have 4 dogs at home (labradors and labradoodles), and one dog currently with me! Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things. I’ve raised puppies from birth and worked with sick puppies for two years. I am currently a full time student with part time work on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoons! I am free every morning, besides Thursdays and Tuesdays from 10:30-3! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Here's a little look into my availability Monday:9-11:30 Tuesday: After 5:30 Wednesday:10:30-2:30, after 5:30 Thursday: After 5:30 Friday: 10:30-9:30 Saturday: 10:30-9:30 I will, sadly, not be able to house your pets, but I would be able to walk them in a variety of locations for you safely! I am reliable and able to handle animals of all sizes, my current dog is 40+ pounds and my family dog is 60+!
About: I absolutely love dogs, especially medium to large breeds! My favorite breed is the German Shepherd. Over the past two years, I’ve gained more experience caring for other people’s pets, and having two German Shepherds of my own has given me so much experience and appreciation for spending time with dogs. I’m passionate about their well-being and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give them the attention and care they deserve! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for you and your pet! I’m generally available on Mondays, Wednesday and weekends, with additional availability depending on the day and time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have a morning teaching commitment and afternoon tutoring responsibilities, but I have more flexibility outside of those hours. Fridays are currently reserved for my other commitments, so I’m not available that day. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your pet’s normal routine and needs in mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care routines. I’m also comfortable cleaning litter boxes, changing pee pads, and keeping the pet’s space clean and comfortable. I really value communication with pet parents and enjoy sending photos, updates, and checking in throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, patience, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: i’ve been an animal lover all my life and started pet sitting professionally at age 15. At summer camp, I managed the puppy barn, carefully overseeing children interacting with the dogs to ensure everyone stayed safe and happy. With two years of rescue volunteering and experience with all ages, I provide reliable routines, park play, and lots of cuddles while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Whether it is a midday walk or full-day care, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I am dedicated to being reliable and consistent, ensuring your pet has plenty of social time, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day according to their usual habits I have a huge heart for animals and consider myself deeply empathetic toward their needs. I am always vigilant about their surroundings, especially when managing interactions with others. I treat every pet with the highest level of care and patience, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly believe they deserve the best, and I treat them like family.
“First time using rover, and I didnt have to worry about my pups at all while I was gone. She took great care of my them! She sent updates and photos and let me know of anything concerning, which I appreciate. She even dripped my faucets while I was gone, and I didnt even ask or think about that! I try not to leave my pups home alone, but if I ever have to, I'd happily trust her again! Thanks Haven!”

Megan was wonderful with our cat Drake while we were away! She not only took great care feeding him she also played with him each day. She sent us such cute pictures of them playing every day! The only downside is I’m afraid he may be disappointed it’s us that comes home each day now and not her😂 We will definitely be getting her to come take care of him next time we are out of town.
Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.
Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
