“Clarissa was amazing! She was very communicative during our trip which made us feel at ease with leaving our little baby for the first time. She took great care of Enzo and also went the extra mile to help out in the garden while we were away. I would recommended her to anyone needed pet sitting.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I also help care for my elderly dog with special needs, giving me experience with senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Rover availability is updated monthly as I receive my schedule. You can always check my monthly calendar for my current availability and see which dates I have open. I’m available weekdays and weekends. Or message me if you are in a pinch and I can try and accommodate you! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help them feel relaxed and at home. Whether that includes daily walks, feeding on a specific schedule, administering medications, bathing, playtime, or simply spending quality time together, I’ll make sure they receive the attentive care they deserve.
About: I think animals are to be loved and treated like they are part of the family! Growing up I had 5 cats, 4 guinea pigs, 3 hamsters, 2 mice. Currently I have 2 cats of my own and I love them so dearly. I'm currently in-between jobs so I have pretty much full availability at the moment. Weekends are good for long term relationships, but we can figure something out if you need care on weekdays! I can go to your place and feed animals, scoop cat litter boxes, take dogs for walks, play, cuddle, pretty much anything you would need me to do, just let me know!
“Miah is fantastic! We can trust our pets are well taken care of. She is reliable and responsive and we can recommend her for a drop by or overnight sit. She will be our go-to sitter when we need to be gone.”
About: Dogs are part of the family! They deserve care from someone who truly understands them. I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and dog mama myself for 5+ years, bringing years of first-hand experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious or reactive pups. My approach is calm, patient, and attuned to each dog’s individual needs. Having worked in the medical field, I’m also confident caring for dogs with medical needs or special care requirements. Your dog gets my full attention! I’m currently on a career break and can't wait to meet all the local pups! I understand how important it is to know your special furry-friend is well cared for when you're away. I also know how unpredictable work and travel can be, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their comfort and routine. As a dog-mama and homeowner myself, I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Things will be kept things tidy and secure, and every pup will receive the same love and attention I give my own dog. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing inside, I focus on safety, calm energy, and clear communication so that you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I grew up with cats and have taken care of other peoples cats too. I don't have a cat currently (apartment living sometimes is the worst) but I'm generally a fan. I'm a freelancer, so scheduling is fairly flexible. I'm mostly free towards the beginning of the week. Otherwise, let me know and I can probably make it work. I know I'm going into someone else's home so of course I'll do my best to be respectful of the environment, and of your pets.
“Superb experience. I trust only a handful of people on Earth with my pets — I now fully trust Jennifer & Jason. They took care of my beloved, very elderly cats as if they were their own, allowing me to take one of my first real vacations in years. ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I was always the one to clean up after them and ensure they had new toys and a clean space to enjoy. I am currently working part time and off Fridays. I would like to earn some extra cash to continue growing my daughters savings so she can get a good education. I have a fenced in yard. I currently have 3 dogs and a fish and a toddler. When walking my dogs, I usually take all 3 and make sure I am aware of my surroundings due to have frenchies I am always extra cautious.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for a few years and have grown to love it! I recently worked at a dog day care so I have lots of experience with dogs and giving medications. I also have some vet experience too! I’m currently in college part-time but living at home. Outside of schooling I’m available in the afternoons and weekends. During the summer I have full availability. I provide a safe and caring environment for all pets. I make sure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s feeding and care instructions closely and keep pets supervised to ensure they stay happy, comfortable, and safe.
About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I've owned cats, dogs, and more! I know how important it is to know your pets are in trustworthy hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority! :) I’m currently doing an apprenticeship on a part time basis, so my schedule is quite flexible, especially this summer! I can drop by when needed as long as I have notice. I can tailor care to your pets needs! Have a dog that needs to let out some energy? Let me play fetch with them! Or maybe a cat who just needs some company? I’ll chill with them and refill their food. Just say what you need and I got you.
“I was really nervous to have my 2 cats pet-sat for the first time, but there was no reason to be! Justina was awesome, and my cats loved her, even the fickle Siamese one. 😂 During the 9 days my husband and I were gone, she provided liberal amounts of photos and updates. She also left our house clean and tidy afterwards. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was 16 & before then we have always had pets in my family. I love & cherish animals & make sure they get what they need. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to play/walk/feed any animals as needed. I am pretty much free any time as long as I have a days notice I care for my pets at home like they are my children. Make sure they get all the attention they want when they ask for it & make it easier on my older dogs. I’ve just built a ramp for my girlfriends dog to get in & out of bed easier & make sure she eats at a routine that she is used to with her meds included

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Phillipsburg
I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital. Sara was already booked and we had met as I had planned to go away. She modified the booking x2 and my girls seemed happy. There were a few items we reviewed that I felt could be improved and Sara appreciated the feedback. I will use Sara again and hope to give her 5 stars.
Amber is the kind of sitter you hope to find but rarely do—clinically competent, deeply attentive, and immediately trustworthy. We were in a genuinely stressful, last-minute situation involving travel complications, a sitter cancellation, and a medically fragile cat who required multiple daily medications. Amber stepped in calmly and professionally and put us at ease from the start. Her veterinary background was immediately apparent—not only in how confidently and correctly she administered medications, but in the quality of her observations and judgment. Her updates were meticulous and genuinely reassuring. She consistently reported on appetite, litter box habits, behavior, breathing, and overall demeanor, with a level of detail that reflected both clinical knowledge and real attentiveness. She handled a nervous, medication-averse cat with patience and skill, never forcing interactions and always prioritizing his comfort and safety. Amber also went above and beyond with practical care—cleaning dishes, tidying feeding areas, checking doors and lights, and making sure everything was exactly as it should be before leaving. Her communication was impeccable: punctual arrival and departure notices, clear explanations of what was done, thoughtful questions when appropriate, and precise adherence to instructions. In a situation where trust truly mattered, Amber earned ours completely. We would book her again without hesitation and recommend her without reservation, especially to anyone with cats who require medical care or a sitter with true clinical competence and excellent judgment.

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 .

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.
