“I'm so grateful for Mariah. They were available with short notice and made it possible for me to keep an appointment. My dogs are always happy and well cared for when Mariah takes care of them.”
About: I have grown up with numerous pets of different sizes since a child. Having my own dog I understand the essentials of dog care and take pride in the effort I put in to make sure his needs are met. Every pet deserves to be cared for as much as they care for us. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets and doing all I can to ensure they receive every bit of care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have availability in the mornings, some lunches, and afternoons. I prioritize their needs alongside my own commitments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I ensure the pet goes potty as many times instructed or needed, they eat their food with any medications needed, they get plenty of loving, and go on any walks requested.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own right now and I've always loved animals growing up . Family Doggy Day Care offers a welcoming environment where pets are treated like our own. With extensive experience in pet care, I provide personalized and attentive care, I prioritize constant communication and attention to detail. My flexible services, reliability, and genuine love for animals make me a trusted choice as your pet sitter. I prioritize pet care by dedicating specific time slots throughout the day for feeding, walking, playtime, and providing overall attentive care based on the pet's needs and routine. I'm a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time to spend with my pets. I like to stick to routines as much as possible with my animals. I usually wake up around 7am to let my babies go use the bathroom and run around then they come inside and eat their food at their leisure. Safety, trust & environment If your pets tend to be escape artists, we have a seperate room as well as enclosures outside to insure they will not get away. I also have a big yard where they can run around or just lay under a tree. Accomodations are made for them to sleep inside or outside the house, with me and my dogs. You can bring your own doggy bed or they can always borrow one of ours! Pets will have access to a secure, fenced yard for supervised outdoor playtime, with plenty of shade from trees. a comfortable and pet-friendly environment will be provided, including cozy sleeping areas and access to fresh water. We will prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets at all times, closely monitoring their activities and interactions. Adhering to any special instructions or dietary restrictions, I will maintain a clean environment, regularly cleaning up after pets. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

About: I've had dogs everyday my whole life growing up, mostly big dogs. I have two large dogs and I help watch my pastors dogs frequently. I am a stay at home husband (temporarily) until my Air Force wife moves us to New Mexico. My schedule is very open and I love dogs, so why not play with dogs for the time being. My dogs are Crate trained, and I respect your dogs and property as if they were my own. Do right by others, even when no one is watching.
About: I have pet sat and house sat for family members, friends, coworkers, and community members through Rover. I’ve also cared for pets while babysitting and/or housesitting. It is so much fun for me! I like being able to help others and make their lives easier when traveling, etc. I am a teacher, so I am gone most of the daytime during the week. I would be able to check on your pets before I go to work and after I get off. On holidays or weekends, I could spend more time with them! I would prefer to sit in your home to keep your pets comfortable and interrupt their schedule as little as possible! If other arrangements are needed, we can talk through it and & figure it out!

About: Hello my name is Aléna, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little. Animals are so amazing to me and I love their personality’s. Looking forward to meeting you pet. My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.

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.
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.
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.
