“Ariel is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She's been dropping in on our cat twice a day for the past month and has been on time every single day since the day she started. She has somehow gotten close to our cat who usually does not do well with new people and does a great job with everything we have her do. She's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We can't recommend her more highly.”

About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy. I'd be honored to walk, play with, love, and/or sit for your furry family members when needed. I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.
About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.
“Angela goes above and beyond every time she drops in to check on Trygg. I’m so appreciative of the updates and photos, and the peace of mind knowing that he is being cared for so well when I’m away.”

About: I have had a pet dog or cat ever since I was born. I have had experience with pets at a variety of ages, including very young, and super seniors, such as 20. Depending on the times that you may need sitting, I am available to come early in the morning, feed to your specifications, and do a variety of other pet caring chores. If your pet requires lots of play to get energy out, that is something I more more than happy to do. I have helped care for a variety of age groups and energies. Theres a big difference in the work required for an active puppy, and an aging friend.
“Perry did a great job for us! He was punctual, organized and communicative. Extremely professional and warm. We'll be happy to have him back to watch the girls again soon.”


About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I work part-time as a tutor and caregiver for an adult with special needs, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pets’ routines and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, respecting each pet’s boundaries, keeping doors and gates secure, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, give your pets plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a kid and currently have two of my own. Our girls are husky mixes, Luna and Nova and they both have a really cool adoption story. I love animals and would love to give yours the time and attention they need. I work full time during the week but am available weeknights from 3:30pm-10pm and weekends anytime. I am really excited to get started on this app!! I walk my two dogs all the time, and I love it. I am well aware of my surroundings and make sure if any other dogs are close, to give them the needed space as we pass one another. I have leashes (Short and extended), doggy bags, treats (If allowed) and always carry water.

About: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.
About: I’m passionate about caring for pets and creating a safe, happy environment for them. With experience in walking, feeding, and giving lots of love, I make sure every furry friend feels comfortable and cherished. 🐾 I will work depending on your needs. I can work with both puppies and adult dogs. I will be a great company for your friend I will create an active rest for your dog in your home or in safe areas.

“Rachel and Demetra were absolutely incredible and lovely! Our two cats, who have separation anxiety, were doing incredibly well when we returned and had obviously been given lots of love and pets! We loved the copious number of photos and all the updates, and we couldn't have left them in better hands!”

About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.
“Helen was truly excellent. My cat immediately liked her and I know he enjoyed his time with her because she sent me so many (welcome) videos and pictures. She updated me not only whenever she was coming and going but when and how much he was eating so there is no doubt in my mind that she spent a great deal of time at my house with my cat despite having her own family, and that she spent lots of loving time with my fur baby. She did the laundry, replaced the tissues and detergent, which I didn’t even request, and she left the place cleaner than when I left. I feel much better planning trips knowing that I now have more than one dependable pet sitter. Highly recommend.”


“Kathleen was awesome! She was very communicative throughout caring for my kitties, punctual and very respectful of my space and care for my babies while I was away. She was such a great sitter and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!”

“My cat stayed at their home, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received! They took such wonderful care of him and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him with them. Communication was amazing, and I really appreciated the updates. He was happy and well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. I would absolutely trust them with my baby again and highly recommend them! ❤️🐾”

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, I offer truly attentive, loving, and responsible care while you're away. I'm not just a sitter I’m a calm, trustworthy presence who treats your home and pets like my own. After a personal experience that showed me how important reliable pet care is, I founded Sit and Wander Co., a professional house and pet-sitting business that’s earned the trust of frequent travelers, families, and even celebrity clients. 🌍✨ 🐶 Experienced with senior dogs, mobility needs, and medication schedules 💊 Comfortable administering oral meds, supplements, and topical treatments 🐾 Confident with reactive or shy animals who need extra patience and calm energy 🧹 Respectful of your home — clean, tidy, and discreet 📸 Excellent communication with daily updates and cute photos (videos and more!) Also with your permission I have a social media account I feature them on 🌟 Dozens of glowing reviews on my site: sitandwander and via TrustedHousesitters profile I specialize in overnight and extended travel sits, but I’m also happy to help with drop-ins or day visits depending on your needs. Let’s connect, I’d love to hear more about your pets and how I can help you travel with peace of mind! I have an open and flexible schedule. I work a couple hours from home a day. I go for several walks a day and prefer the companionship of the dogs with me. I will provide a safe clean and secure environment for your pet while they are in my care, as if they were my own. Pets are a gift to us, each one!
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs having owned both up until recently. I have been a part-time pet sitter for a total of two years. This job is a great fit for me as I have some time before I switch military branches. Since I no longer own cats or dogs, pet-sitting is the perfect fit for me with my experience. I have a clean home and I’m always up to go for a walk or run with your pet! I proactively engage with your pet depending on his or her needs and always make sure to ask owners if there is anything I can do to help ensure the perfect environment for your pet!

“We had an excellent experience and couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time we were away. She kept us updated after every visit with great photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also frequently spent extra time with her beyond the scheduled visit, making sure she had plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. It was very clear that she wasn’t simply checking off a visit—she genuinely cared about her and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and everything had gone perfectly. It is a huge relief to find someone you can completely trust with your dog and your home while you’re away. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars!”

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 .

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.

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.
