“Amanda had high energy to match our 6-month-old Frenchies Duke & Domino. Our crew seems to love her. We also received daily updates and pictures of her drop-in visits that put us at ease.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our fur babies! Knowing they were safe and happy gave us complete peace of mind. You are incredibly professional and did a wonderful job. We truly appreciate you!”
About: I’ve taken care and owned all kinds of animals since I was young, from hamsters, fish & birds to cats and dogs. I have several years experience dog and cat sitting alike and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience administering oral and topical medication if needed. No ask is too much! I work from home, so house-sitting is no problem as long as I have wifi! I’m also flexible with drop-in visits because of my job. I’ve had several cats of my own and have lived with various dog breeds/sizes. I have experience with crate trained dogs as well.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!
“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”
“Nadia was a life saver! I was so relieved being able to count on her to take care of my puppy giving Her the medications and taking her out, playing with her and keeping her company 🫶🏼 I will be eternally grateful. My puppy loved her♥️”
“Montana was great with my dogs and cat. They warmed up to her instantly. Provide good updates and pictures during her visits. She even brought in some packages that were dropped off while I was out of town. Would book her again!”
About: I have a super energetic beagle, and an old teacup poodle, so I can handle both sides of the spectrum of dogs. I love dogs of any size and temperament! I currently work three days a week, so I can spend much time with your babies! Caring for pets is a big part of my life and I would love to help! When working with animals I always am very attentive. I will let them out multiple times, let them get their energy out, always keep their water bowl full and give them so much love!
“Absolutely love the professionalism and compassion. They have a passion for what they do and not only for animals but for us pet parents as well. I will not use any other sitters and you shouldn’t either! Thank you Sara, Maria & Raul!”
About: What I have been told my entire life is that I have a way of making animals, no matter cats or dogs, calm and relaxed! I grew up around dogs my entire life of all shapes and sizes. from newfoundland's and saint Bernard's, to dachshunds and Australian shepherds and every where in between. In this house we love all fun loving dogs, as well as your adorable felines! I am currently a stay at home single mother, attending school for criminal justice with the goal to enter the forensics world. during the school year I’m a substitute teacher for Marion county, so, during the summer as well as other holiday breaks and weekends I need something to fill those gaps! as I would also be available after school hours! creating my own schedule is crucial during this time, luckily, it involves something that I enjoy as well! and can help others too!! this isn’t a service I’m currently providing in my home as I live in a small space with no fenced in yard unfortunately! in my clients home I will always remain respectful, focused, and attentive to your fur babies! entering someone else’s space is completely sacred and I aim to always be professional and honor your home as if it was my own.
About: Always been around animals and every dog is treated like my own kids :) I love animals and spending time with them . Spoiling them . I work full time Monday through Friday but can definitely fit in evenings and weekends . I will gladly walk and care for pets in my spare time. Follow the owners wishes and respect the pets like they’re my own kids. Always respect the pets and their boundaries. Love and care for pets .

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.
