“Katlyn did a great job taking care of our 3 cats while we were gone. They got love and attention, and even our stand-offish adopted stray came up to her for pets and pictures. Katlyn was thorough and professional, will definitely contact her in the future to look after our fur-babies.”

About: I hope to be different as I have experience’s with all types of furry friends. I hope to make your life and there life stress free. I have experience working in a vet setting with dogs and cats. So I can administer any type of medication as needed. Now I am working in a board and rescue environment for dogs. I’ve dealt with crazy dogs, old dogs, aggressive dogs and scared dogs. I can do grooming such as baths, nail trimming/filing, basic trim, and ear cleaning. I also can do positive based training to work on basics like sit, lay, and waiting at doors. Any treats used will be ran by the owner before using them. I’m currently working part time at a board and rescue. Most days I work one shift so I will have plenty of free time in the morning to feed or play with your furry friend first thing around 7-8am. Usually I will also stop by to let them out again and hang out with them before going to work around 11am. After work I can come by again to feed them dinner and/or just hang out with them and play around 6 pm. My cat whiskey eats in the morning before I leave for work. He also eats again when I get off of work at night. His litter box is cleaned at least once a day. My dog Roxy free feeds as she doesn’t over eat and maintains a healthy weight. We have a small fenced area to play fetch and potty in. Me and Roxy love to get out and hike no matter what the weather is. I am also trying to find someone that would allow us to work on her herding skills. When I’m in a clients home my goal will be to keep the dog on it’s regular schedule in hopes to make it better for them.

“Natasha was simply amazing. She was so good with Mr. Chubbs and he was well cared for. This was the first time I used Rover so didn't know how things would go or what to expect. Natasha put me at east right away and explained the process very well. During the visits she was consistent with providing me with feedback and even went above and beyond on certain occasions. I am very, very pleased!”

About: I’ve raised one dog since he was a puppy. He is now almost 13, and another who’s now 6. I truly understand every stage of a dog’s life, from playful puppy energy to senior care and comfort. Over the years, I’ve also done off and on petsitting for neighbors, caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they always feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. My schedule varies weekly, so my availability may change. That said, I communicate promptly, confirm visits ahead of time, and make sure all pets are able to receive consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to all instructions closely, from feeding times to preferred walking routes. I always provide photo updates and check ins so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue sanctuary for 10+ years. As a caretaker my duties at the sanctuary require demanding physical labor, housekeeping, and responsibilities of supervision over animals and other volunteers. We had over 100+ different types of animals and always have been around dogs and cats! They are my joy! I work 2 full time jobs but I have mornings, evenings and weekends open! I am looking for something that will fit into that kind of schedule. I have no animals at home. It is safe and a very clean environment. I am the most respectful and will aways listen to what you and your pets need.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience! I've always had pets in my life, and believe spending time with them is therapeutic. I’ve had many dogs (large and small), including very energetic border collies, as well as lap dogs and cats. I've also had pet rabbits, hamsters, chameleons, fish and tree frogs, and I've even rescued 6 squirrels. I have several years of experience dog-sitting, including over-nights for several weeks with multiple large dogs at a time. I love nature, hiking and running and would love to take your dog with me to explore the outdoors! I will give your pet lots of love and affection and treat them like my own! If your pet has any special needs, please let me know. I am very trustworthy, reliable, responsible and communicative. I earned my bachelor's degree in both Art Education and Psychology. I'm a former teacher, nanny and Behavioral Health Technician. Currently I'm a self-employed professional watercolor artist. When you book with me, you are also supporting a working artist. NOTE: * I charge $30 for Meet and Greets to cover my time and travel. * If the rates listed on my profile don't work for you, please let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate your budget. * I have a sweet border collie named Morris who is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! He is a social, submissive, energetic, and playful pup. He has loved every dog and person he's ever met and has never shown any signs of aggression.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. I stared working at a vets office and haven’t looked back. Pet care can look like many different things in my week such as, a single feeding, a walk, a check in or the full on in home service with all the feedings and all the walks. While, I would love to have every dog and cat over to my house I can’t realistically do that b/c I own a cat who does love other cats and she tolerates dogs, your dog or cat would have to be cat friendly. So most of my jobs are me coming to your home whether that is a drop in or a full time boarding situation while you’re on vacation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
