“Sasha went above and beyond to take care of our cat nahla! Every day, she took 10 photos, brought her own toys to play with nahla, scooped the poop, even took out the garbage and swept our house. When nahla knocked down items, she made sure to inform us and straighten the house. I cant recommend her enough. 1000000 out of five stars.”

“Zach has been caring for our cat several times now, and is by far our favorite sitter for our girl. He is kind and caring, which can really be seen in his thoughtful rover report cards. This is the kind of person you want caring for your pets, not just someone checking a box to put food down and be out the door.”

I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements!

About: Hey there! I’m Danny, a hybrid professional living here in Plano. Since I work from home several days a week, my schedule is super flexible. Your pets will get plenty of attention, regular routine check-ins, and tons of photo updates so you never have to worry while you're away. I live in a quiet apartment that is completely dog-free, which makes it a perfect, low-stress spot for hosting cats or small pets who hate loud barking or busy houses. I’m naturally clean, incredibly organized, and very respectful of boundaries, so you can count on your home staying exactly how you left it during house sittings and drop-in visits. Whether it’s keeping up with precise feeding times, scooping the litter box, or going for fun walks around the neighborhood, I treat every pet like my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I structure my week so that pet care is never rushed or an afterthought. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can dedicate real, focused time to making sure your cats or dogs are completely comfortable, fed on time, and get plenty of one-on-one attention and play. Whether I'm staying at your place or checking in on your pets, keeping them safe and happy is always my main focus. I naturally have a calm, patient energy, which really helps shyer cats or anxious dogs relax around me. I’m incredibly strict about following your exact notes on feeding times, medications, and general routines so their day feels totally normal while you're away. If I'm watching your cats at my place, my apartment has a nice, quiet setup where they can comfortably explore and unwind without any loud dogs bothering them.

“Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)”

“We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I grew up taking care of all types of pets in my own home and for friends. Reptiles, fur babies, farm animals, and aquatics. I currently have my own cat, lizard, and turtle. Evening care or overnight stays work best with my regular schedule. If given at least a week's notice, I can adjust my availability to any time of day. I am happy to either stop by for a walk and play time or spend some extended quality time with your pets. I understand that every pet has its own needs, so leave me instructions with as much detail as you want and I will follow them to a T!

About: My dad is the proud father of a sweet, but spicy, German shepherd. Two cats are also family to him. You got any more animals? Large breeds are my favorite. My home is pet free. I retired early in life, so I have ample time to raise doggos full time. Any dogs you can bring me the better. Cats too. I actually have two yards for play, a side yard as well as a back yard. I have been certified for the past eight years to do dog training as well.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets. I’m a chiropractic student at Parker University and am responsible, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m a full-time student at Parker University, usually finished with classes by 4 PM. I’m available most weekends and have some weekday availability, including Mondays when I only have one morning class. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine! I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and love. I’ll also keep your home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly surrounded by animals and learned early on how to care for them with patience and compassion. Since I was five, I’ve had dogs and cats, rescued and bottle-fed baby kittens, trained countless puppies, and even had a hedgehog at one point! I currently have two dogs and a puppy of my own, and I also help my dad care for his dog when he’s out of town—walking her, bathing her, and treating her like she’s part of my own pack. Every animal I care for gets the same level of love and attention as if they were my own. Whether it's senior dogs needing a slower pace or high-energy pups who love to play, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility to work from home or anywhere when needed. I’m off nights and weekends, and I’m also able to step away during the day for morning walks, midday check-ins, or drop-in visits. Whether it's a quick potty break, playtime, or some extra cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I create a calm, loving environment and make sure to follow your routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, daily walks, or bedtime habits. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I'm attentive to details, keep things clean, and always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will have a peaceful space to relax, play, and feel right at home—away from chaos and stress. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or answer questions so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. But i do work 3-11pm 4 days and Sunday i work 7am-3pm. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young and I absolutely adore doing it! I am a responsible dog walker and I can also take care of pets in owners homes and just make quick check visits for potty breaks! I am great at walking dogs as well and have a ton of experience as I have larger breed dogs in my own home. I have also recently raised two puppies with the help of my mom over the course of two years and am willing to pet sit for the younger dogs as well! This upcoming year I will entering junior year and am looking for a job this summer to pass time and help anyone who may need it out with their fur babies. I am available throughout the majority of the week and can visit with puppies anytime during the day. I consistently take the responsibility of feeding my dogs, walking them, playing with them in the yard and all of the above. We also have a fun bike attachment where I take our older dog for bike rides with the company of a furry friend. I can come either for a short play session, a long walk, or even watch your baby overnight if needed. I love all breeds and am open to going to areas all around the city of Dallas and outside of. Whether you just need me to quickly let out your pup during a long work day or take him for a walk I am happy and excited to do so! I am fully able to adjust to whatever schedule you may need for your dog whether that’s 4 or 3 visits a day I am here! I can walk your dog or can simply let them outside to use the bathroom, whatever is preferred! I can crate your dogs when I leave and can let them out as early as you would like in the morning. If pet sitting in your own home I can follow whatever instructions you like.

Sebnem was wonderful with my cat! He's a little shy, but warmed up to her right away, so I got plenty of pictures of my cat being pet, eating, and even videos of purring. Sebnem spent good time with him, following my instructions for food, giving him play time, and brushing him well. All in all I felt very comfortable knowing she was watching my cat while I was away.

I met Alicia at a neighborhood garage sale a few months ago where I was thrilled to learn that she is an experienced pet sitter in our neighborhood. My neighbor was planning to cat & housesit for my family last week but had to cancel two days before our trip due to a family emergency. I had never used Rover before but felt at ease as soon as I (promptly) received a response from Alicia to confirm booking. She came in for a visit the next day to meet our 3 cats and receive instructions/key. Alicia was very thorough asking questions getting to know our cats and home, which was very appreciated. We booked 60-min drop-in visits for 7 days, receiving daily pics and videos of our pets getting some lovin’ in as well as a detailed summary of her visit . Upon one visit, Alicia discovered a hall-closet door open and sent me a text. She had photographed exterior doors (showing still locked) & main areas of our house (looking undisturbed) to help us ultimately determine it likely had not been fully shut when we left, allowing the cats to paw it open. It was great to have peace of mind knowing that our home and pets were in good hands. We’ll definitely book Alicia again!

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 .

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.
