“Emmaleigh is fantastic and took such great care of our kitties. She had no problem giving our cat his pills and even came by the house before we left town to do a “trial run.” She is responsive and attentive to details. I also appreciated the pictures she sent of our babies. Highly recommend and have already booked Emmaleigh for December.”
“We love working with Brooke! She is so knowledgeable and experienced, and that combined with her love of cats gave us all the peace of mind we'd need to leave our cats in her care. She's so thorough, adaptable to whatever the cats' needs are, and so sweet with them. We highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have had horses for 10 years, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and understanding animal behavior. I also worked for a year and a half as a veterinary assistant at a vet’s office while I was in high school. While I am definitely not a professional veterinarian or animal behaviorist, that experience gave me a better understanding of animals and made me more aware of changes in their behavior, health, and overall well-being. I know how important your pets are to you, and I will always treat them with the same care, attention, and patience I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I am available for bookings on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Mondays, I have classes from 12:45–2:10 PM and 3:00–4:25 PM, so I am available before and after my classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from 3:00–4:25 PM and 5:30–6:55 PM, which gives me a good window between classes to check on your pet, depending on the distance from campus. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, and any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure they have fresh food and water, attention, playtime, and plenty of care and companionship while their owners are away. I treat each home with the same respect I would want for my own and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
“Megan did such a phenomenal job cat-sitting for us. We have three VERY high maintenance furballs. It was clear Megan took time to play and cuddle them daily. We plan to only hire Meghan in future if possible. Very trustworthy.”
About: I've had/ cared for dogs my whole life and used to walk and care for dogs in my old neighborhood. There's no breed too big or small for my taste :) I have been pet sitting for a while and love it I currently have a lot of open availability and I am very flexible with my current schedule. I can always find the time for my furry little friends. I am a high energy person so I'm great at tiring out especially energetic pals to make sure everything is in one piece when you get home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, I have a family dog named Tin-Tin. I also have two bunnies of my own which I’ve raised for 5 years now, and chickens! I’m currently working part time at the moment, I am usually free/available later in the days and free all day on the weekends! I would be able to pet sit at your house, making sure to keep an eye on your furbaby, and catering to their needs. I would ask in advance the do’s and don’t’s and also be respectful of your space.
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”

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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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 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.
