“Neige did a wonderful job checking in on my two cats while I was out of the country for a week. I appreciate her sending me pictures and making sure they were fed with their favorite food/treats which gave me peace of mind while being away. If I ever need a cat sitter again, I will definitely be using her services.”
“Luke did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs. He was reliable and on time. He showed a genuine interest in our pets. He cleaned up after the dogs and left things organized.”
About: My dog sitting has been talked very highly of every time I’ve done it! I walk my pup every single morning and would love to walk yours for you! Your pup will be so happy, they’ll seem like a puppy all over again🥰 I also used to work at a dog grooming company! Can’t wait to get to know you and your animal🫶🏻 I have dog sat many times for my friends and co workers, sometimes even weeks on end! I also have a 7 year old puppy and have been taking care of her since I have had her and walk her every single morning! I can come to you to walk your dog or you can bring them to me if more convenient! I have a nice neighborhood for them to be walked in as well!
“Thank you Kassidy for taking such good care of our fur baby -Sweet Pea… we are very pleased with your care and could tell by your note , your pics and her calm attitude when we got home she was well taken care of and made our first experience with you & Rover a 5 star*.”
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.
“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals, including, dogs, cats, horses, and sugar-gliders. I have three cats and three large dogs at home so I know how to handle all sizes of animals. If any sickness occurs I am good at cleaning and communicating to veterinarians if necessary. Currently, I am away at college and have classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Most days I am done with class by 2pm and I recently finished soccer season so I have more free time to fill. I follow instructions provided and if I see something the pets need that are not on the instructions I will provide necessary care. I recommend doing meet and greets before scheduled home visits so I can assess any special needs the pets may have with the owners. I will take your dogs on a daily walk.
About: I have 6+ years of professional pet care experience. I have training in administering medication, bathing, nail trims, and teeth cleaning. I adore all pets and have personally owned dogs, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and ducks! I have also taken care of cats, parrots/parakeets, and sheep. I have experience taking care of animals ages 8 weeks all the way up to 20 years! I am available 7 out of 7 days of the week! I get how chaotic life can be! That’s why my scheduling times are flexible to meet your and your pets needs. Safety is the top priority! My services and activities will be customized to the outdoor conditions (too hot or too cold = shorter walks outside and more indoor play time). As a pet parent, my house stays pet proof: no loose wires, batteries, sharp objects, etc. I have a 6ft privacy fence and use no chemicals in the yard. I am certified in animal first aid and CPR.

Absolutely incredible care for our Felix. Nathalie made sure our dog was fed, checked on, played with, and kept happy while also cleaning any messes around the food area and home. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we always felt informed and reassured. Very dependable, caring, and professional — highly recommend!

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 Owensboro 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.
