About: I have experience boarding dogs and provide a clean, quiet, and safe environment. My boarding setup includes a separate 2-bedroom guest house, completely separate from my own pets and toddler in the main house. For safety and comfort, dogs from different families sleep in separate bedrooms with the doors closed. Dogs from the same family may stay together if preferred. Dogs also enjoy supervised outdoor time in our yard during the day. For drop-in visits, I provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime and companionship, basic cleanup, and photos and updates after every visit. Safety and cleanliness are always my top priorities. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate different feeding and care routines. I’ll follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable during their stay. I follow each pet’s care instructions closely and provide a clean, comfortable environment. Fresh water is always available, and I keep their living and feeding areas clean throughout their stay.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with five years of hands-on pet-care experience and four cats of my own. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and following each pet’s normal routine. I can also trim cats’ nails and brush both cats’ and dogs’ teeth. I’m patient with nervous animals and understand that every pet needs time to feel safe and comfortable with someone new. I also volunteer with the SPCA, which has given me even more experience around animals with different personalities and needs. Pet care fits very well into my weekly schedule. I’m available throughout the day on Sundays and Mondays, as well as Friday and Saturday evenings. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while following your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, grooming, and household routines. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain clean food and water bowls, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and give each pet the level of attention or personal space they prefer. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️
About: With more than 20 years of experience in animal care (including the founding and operating of a non-profit rescue) I offer expert, attentive care for animals of all kinds. From dogs of every age, breed, and size, to cats, birds, and other animals, your pets are cared for with the highest level of knowledge and dedication. Outside of managing the animal rescue, I offer open availability, including weekdays and weekends, with flexible scheduling available anytime to meet your pet care needs. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’ll treat them like family, follow all instructions carefully, and exercise thoughtful judgment whenever needed.
“Nicque took very good care of my senior cat. She was able to earn her trust and give her medications. Nicque provided great communication and photos so I knew my cat was taken care of when I was gone overnight. Will be using her again soon:)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.
About: It is very difficult for me to have animals in my current situation so I am looking forward to this work as an opportunity to make friends with animals that I would not get to experience normally. I am really looking forward to it. Thank you. I am retired and partially disabled so I don’t have a work routine and so I’m available seven days a week. This will be fun! I am very respectful of other people spaces and I’m happy to offer full cleanup services for any accidents or other things that might happen while I’m there.
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
“Madeline was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. One of our cats requires medication, and she handled that with care and confidence, which gave us great peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by spending time outside with our cats so they could safely enjoy their courtyard time—something they really love. It meant so much to know they were getting that extra attention while we were away. We had two very happy, well-cared-for kitties. I would absolutely book Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”
“Thank you again Mel!! I booked on very short notice and was so happy to have care for our kitty Loki! Mel went above and beyond with updates, pictures, and care. Without reservation, I recommend Mel for all care needs!!”
“Jennifer and her family took excellent care of our cat. It was our first time leaving him with a sitter but drop Off went well and the pictures and daily updates were very comforting. They treated him like one of their own. I think Tux was spoiled and we will not hesitate to book them in the future!”
About: I know that animal personalities vary greatly which is why I go out of my way to meet them where they are at. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable as possible while you are away so you and your animals can relax. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to prioritize your pets. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out! My first step is getting to know your pets schedule and their personality. I like to keep things as similar as possible to their routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Don’t hesitate to let me know about your animals needs. I am comfortable with cats who may be blind or deaf/ both, wobbly cats, and cats that have bladder or bowel issues.
“Jordan was amazing! He was able to watch my dog at the last minute and he wanted a pre meeting to make sure we and our pup felt comfortable which was so nice! His friendliness, professionalism, and flexibility was incredible, especially considering we accidentally locked him out. Highly recommend him, he’s super nice and great with animals!”
About: I've taken care of cats for 30 years and have always loved all Animals, even those that many are scared of. I take the care of Pets very seriously to ensure they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. It's a tailored experience because no two Animals are alike. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can easily check in on Cats throughout the day, 7 days a week. I do not travel during holidays, I stay home with my own Cat and Dog so I am available for all the major and minor holidays. I do have my own Cat and Dog but I would not bring either on trips to care for a Client's Cat. The safety and comfort of a Client's cat in their own home while their parents are away is the most important part of this process.
“My cat was very shy and anxious being away from home, but Regina and her family were incredibly patient and encouraging with him, and they kept in communication with me for updates and problem-solving!”
About: 20 years experience. I genuinely love animals which makes this more play than work😊 I will love your pets almost as much as you do…❤️ I have a lot of flexibility and make sure to have a well organized calendar.

Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️
Sarah was amazing once again! This was our second time trusting her with Noodle while we were on vacation, and she did a fantastic job. She sent lots of adorable photos that kept us smiling and reassured the whole time. She went above and beyond by cleaning up little messes and even bringing in our packages. When we got home, we were so touched to find a thoughtful card with stickers waiting for us. Noodle was clearly well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat 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 .

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.
