About: I've lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I've worked on Rover through my mom's account since 2020. I have experience in cats and dogs doing walkings, check ins, and overnights. When I am not at college, it's my responsibility to feed and take out our dogs and cats.Just hanging out with them everyday is something I do as well. When doing overnights or check ins I make sure I respect the rules placed by the homeowners. If the animals are scared or nervous, I'll tend to give them space when it's needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and chickens since I was 16. Back at home I dog, cat, and house sat for neighbors and friends. I have always been given great feedback and I love animals! I'm currently an undergraduate student at JMU! I have an extremely flexible schedule and will easily be able to take care of your pets! I am free 7 days a week although there are certain times that I do have class which we can discuss! I have 1 dog and 1 indoor cat at home! I live on a farm so we have a lot of land for my dog to run around! I am able to accommodate to pretty much anything and I love pets so they will be cared for with love!
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have owned and cared for two different types of dogs, giving me hands-on experience with daily feeding, exercise, playtime, and general pet care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have dog-sat for multiple families and have experience managing the needs of several dogs at once. I have also provided cat-sitting services, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins as needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets closely during walks and playtime, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“I recently had Sarah care for my two cats, while I was out of the country for 10 days, and she did a fantastic job. My cats are pretty easy to look after - just food, water, litter box, and a little playtime but she went above and beyond. When I returned, the cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Nothing in the house was disturbed, which shows they felt loved and secure. On top of that, Sarah was thoughtful enough to bring in my mail and even took the trash can in from the curb, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and will definitely book her again in the future!”

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
