“Jaycee is great, she has ease my mind while I am traveling for work. I trust my cats with her, she is caring, attentive and you can tell she loves animals. I recommend her 5/5”
About: I’ve grown up owning dogs. I also have babysat for parents friends and coworkers. My own dog, Katara, has gone through puppy classes. I really love dogs and spending time with them. I do online school so my schedule is very flexible as long as I know about something ahead of time :) When my dog is with me morning cuddles are a must. I like cleaning and doing homework with her. My apartment has a fence all the way around. My dog (she stays part time) eats three times a day so I am used to adhering to a schedule.
About: I grew up with animals on my home I learned how to take care of them and how to do basic training! I absolutely love meeting other people’s animals. I will keep your pet happy and healthy! I have a dog of my own so I take care of him every day! I also have 2 cats I help my family take care of. I try to take my dog on a walk at least everyday so I’m comfortable with walking dogs. I can do anything you need to keep your pup happy while you’re gone! I can also stop in and check on your pet! I will make sure they get some exercise while I’m there and give them some loves!
About: I grew up on a farm, and have always loved animals!! Dogs are my favorite, tiny, middle, huge! I love playing with them. I also love cats! I don’t discriminate on breed, all are perfect and I love them! I have a dog, and he likes me pretty well. He also acts like a cat 75% of a time! I love taking walks and going on runs, and would very much enjoy the company of your precious pets! I am most comfortable watching up to 3 at a time. I do have a toddler i would need to bring to check ins, and because of him i can't stay the night somewhere, but I'm available to do check ins at night if needed. Im excited to hear from you all:) This is something I would do with my one year old son, so I'm available anytime before, between, or after his naps! I also work a regular job at night, but can stop in to check on your pet after I get off at midnight. My home doesn't allow overnight pets, but in your home I will be sure to clean up messes that couldn't be prevented, provide plenty of outdoors time, and lots of love!
“Madison was phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about her. She was dependable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly terrific with dogs. From the beginning, she gave me total confidence that my dog was being cared for by someone who is not only responsible, but who genuinely loves what she does. That combination is rare. Madison is the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find. She was attentive, easy to work with, and gave me real peace of mind while my dog was in her care. I would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs in the past so I’m able to handle them quite well! I had dog care as a career for over a year. I am also engaged to a wonderful dog trainer so if I have any struggles I can turn to him for advice on dogs to expand my knowledge I’m available pretty often to give all my attention to your cute cuddly friends! I have a couple pets of my own, so I get plenty of pet care in my daily/weekly routine. My dog and cats have a strict schedule that I follow often. How much they're fed, how often the dog goes out, toys that are deemed safe for them. I’m constantly on the watch to make sure they're safe. I’d do the same for your own pets. Give me a run down of how the dogs routine goes and I’ll follow it perfectly!
“Darby was great! She took excellent care of our two cats and was very communicative whenever any issues arose. She was easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions I had.”
“Jaden checked in everyday as scheduled and kept us posted about our pets. Pictures were sent each day. I felt that she was keeping good care of our cats. We had peace of mind knowing she checked twice a day”
“Robyn is amazing! She went above and beyond, took excellent care of our cat Muffin! She updated me right away and sent pictures. She has a lot of knowledge and experience with cats and she even took my packages inside. I’ll absolutely book her again in the future and I’m so glad to have found her as our cat sitter! Thank you!”
“Rin was great! She sent great photos of my kitty, and gave a detailed report, which helped me feel at ease about leaving her. Will definitely be reaching back out next time I leave town!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. Most of my friends have pets and I am often the friend they ask to take care of their pets when they’re traveling. I love dogs and cats! They can come to my home or I can come to yours. I am easy to work with and communicate well. I’m excited to meet your pet! I can walk dogs up to 4 times a day. I work from home most of the time and my neighborhood is very dog friendly. I have no children in the home. My home is very clean and there’s no carpet. I can manage any feeding schedule your pet is used to. I love to go on walks, so I especially love watching dogs! I live in Pocatello, Idaho.
About: Animals are my favorite thing! I have been pet sitting dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and plants since I was 10! I currently have a black lab named Oscar who’s 3 years old. While being away from school, this seemed like a great option to help others and fill the Oscar sized whole in my heart. I am available after noon on Friday and work some hours at my job on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but am definitely available in the evenings after 5. I have full availability on Sunday. I care for pets by cleaning up after them, taking them on nice, long walks or driving them to a dog park to get lots of energy out, feeding them on time, and giving them baths.
About: Animals are my passion making them happy wanted and comfortable is my goal while away from home and give there owners peace of mind knowing there in good hands. I volunteer at local animal shelter but I don't do it all day so I can still make time to spend with your furry pet friend I prefer to take care of the pets in there on home so they feel more at ease in a familiar environment but parks are always an option too.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pocatello
Jaycee is wonderful and I am so glad I was able to have her check in on my cat while I was away. She is attentive, compassionate and very accommodating. Her detailed updates helped put my mind at ease about how my little companion was doing. I highly recommend her :)
We had a wonderful experience with Robyn she took great care of our dogs, Midnight and Eppie, and kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos. Eppie can be a little shy and slow to warm up to new people, but she was patient and kind with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were being looked after so well while we were away. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
