About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience walking dogs and caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and planty availability for pet care, specially monday-thursday mornings and early afternoons. I am available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime and keeping your dogs company while you are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner's instructions and respect every pet's individual routine and personality. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water and lots of love while in my care.

About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.

“I can’t begin to describe how amazing Judy is! You can immediately tell that she absolutely loves all animals and truly enjoys being with them. She has the perfect knack for warming up to them and it’s incrsible how quickly my animals took to her and were acting like they’d known her for months! She asks all the right questions showing that she takes this very seriously and clearly cares about my pets’ happiness as much as I do - which is a ton!! She’s patient, warm, super responsible - beyond expectations. Way beyond. Can’t imagine anyone could be better. She will take all of your cares away whether she’s just taking your dog for a walk (she gave our dog better walk than I normally do!) or for an overnight I’m sure she would be amazing - I will definitely hire her for our next vacation! I would definitely recommend her 110%!!”

About: I've had and taken care of many cats for over 15 years, i would pet sit long before any of these apps were around. So i am a pro at this I have a well balanced daily routine but if things change i find ways to fit or change plans around to get things done. I am well managed. i don't do home care services for pets yet. Since i have my own pets i don't have the space to be able to accommodate

About: I have been a dog owner all my life from a little Maltese to a pitbull. Along with cats, rodents, and fish. I am willing to take care of anyone! I’ve been walking dogs for about three years outside of Rover but am now joining this app for new opportunities. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am currently a part-time worker, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care! I have a big house with empty rooms and a backyard for your pet to explore. I am also open to taking your dog to the dog park or beach!

Courtney came twice a day to feed and walk Teddy and reassured us with notes and photos that all was well. Highly recommend Courtney’s service and would use her again and again. THANK YOU!!!”

My kitty who is a little shy took to her so well and she had snuggles and rollover pictures! I’m so glad she was loved by Carissa during our weekend trip. I am definitely reaching out to Carissa again if we need to leave her again!”

About: I have over 30 years experience with small breed dogs. I so miss having my own dog for the time being, that I decided to babysit not because I need the money but because of my love for dogs. It's been a wonderful rewarding experience! Since I only take ONE dog per stay, they get all my attention, lot's of play time and love. I will consider 2 dogs if from the same family/client. I have a lovely home near the beach with a fenced in yard. Think of it as a "spa getaway" for your fur baby. I prefer them to be potty trained, but no worries I will work with them. We can have play time in the yard and I would be home with them during their stay. I can take them on walks around my neighborhood if you like. I live in a safe community near the beach. I adore animals and will take great care of your baby while you are gone! I can't wait to meet your special family member and see if we are a fit! I work remote from home Mon - Fri and have alot of flexibility. Plus I have most weekends available. I am fully 100% focused on the dogs I watch. I have toys, a dog bed," my bed" and lots of green grass to run around and play. I have a large backyard that is fully fenced in, lots of room to play and explore. For sleeping, I can crate your dog if you prefer, but I usually have them sleep with me and they have a wonderful front view window to look outside at the neighborhood while on my bed. I currently work remote and have a very easy schedule. Dogs love to sit with me, play in the yard, look out the window and go for walks if you request. Safety is my #1 priority. I have a fenced yard, completly secure with plenty of grass to run around and play! It's a beautiful, tropical, relaxing environment and dogs love my yard. I never leave them unattended at any time.

About: I’ve taken care of primarily neighbors dogs, as well as one cat. One of the dogs I cared for lived to be almost 21 years old. I work part time, so I am usually able to fit dog and cat sitting into my schedule, and can watch them for up to a month. I have usually watched pets in my own home, though one of my most recent clients has had me watch her dog in her own home. My dog is usually friendly toward other dogs, and my cat is friendly as well.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of various breeds and ages since I was growing up. I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for over a decade, and I’ve been an attentive owner to 5 dogs (2 large mutts, 1 Australian shepherd, 2 frenchies) and 7 cats (Persian, Burmese, 3 British Shorthairs, and 2 weird strays of unknown breeds ;)) throughout my life. I live an active lifestyle and am more than happy to make sure your pet gets as much (or as little) exercise as they need. I’m also happy to stay home and provide care for any elderly or disabled dogs who may need it. I have a flexible schedule and will ensure all of your pets’ needs are met. My schedule is entirely my own. I can adjust it as needed to meet your pets’ schedule. I spend time outside most days and will be able to tucker out your pet as needed :) Tell me what you need, and I will make it happen. No request is too weird or high maintenance when it comes to our pets, so please feel free to ask for whatever you need.

Ruby was absolutely amazing!! 🥹💕 My kitties adored her! Even when our Litter-Robot unexpectedly went offline in the middle of the night because of a WiFi connection issue, I reached out to her, and she was so accommodating! She came earlier than scheduled at the last minute to check on it and spend extra time with my babies. Talk about going above and beyond! 🐾❤️ My cautious little princess, Suki Bear, even came out to hang out with Ruby and her brother AND let Ruby pet her! That says a lot because Suki doesn’t warm up to just anyone! 🥹 Tommy Boy was his usual energetic, playful self and absolutely loved all the attention and playtime! I had such peace of mind knowing my babies were in loving hands while we were away. A++++ service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitties and I can’t thank you enough, Ruby! We’ve officially found our go-to kitty sitter for all our future trips! Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐱

This was our first time using Rover, and Paige was simply amazing. She came over just to meet us beforehand, and she was so interested in our dog, Magic. She got down on the floor and played with him right away. Her reports were wonderful, and the pictures she sent every day were so fun to get. She truly loved him, and you could tell. She is responsible and she genuinely loves taking care of dogs. I never worried once. I knew Magic was in good hands, and we will definitely be using her again.

Elika has been an absolute lifesaver for me over the many weeks! I needed someone dependable to walk my dog, Daisy, while I recovered from surgery, and Elika went above and beyond every single day. Daisy absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time she shows up. Elika is super reliable, always on time, and great about keeping me updated on how their walks went. Knowing Daisy was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind and let me focus entirely on resting up without any guilt. If you need a dog walker who is genuinely kind, responsible, and amazing with all animals, I highly recommend Elika!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
