“Caitlyn is wonderful! I love my kitties above all else, and worry to death over leaving them. I had to leave them for a week-long work trip for the first time in a new community. She came over beforehand and I could tell she was very organized and caring. She asked a lot of good questions that showed she has experience, things I would not have thought of. She came every day and sent me an update and lots of pictures. I always knew what was going on each day, even that my basement had flooded a little from the rain we got! It meant so much to me to know they were cared for and safe. She also kept everything very clean and had clearly swept around their litter boxes etc. I definitely highly recommend Caitlyn.”
“Emaline is beyond great! This was my first time using the app and she was so helpful to explain everything. She was so kind, followed all requests, sent pictures and updates. Would 100% recommend!”
About: I currently work at a Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. This has been my position for the last three years and I am looking to continue my education! Due to this position I am able to give different forms of medications, take care of sick, senior or more care required pets! I am very adamant to make any kind of treatments/care as fear free as possible! I’ve also had my fair share of dogs growing up, big and small. I loved training my childhood German Shepherd Harper and my families current aussiedoodle Griffin. I also frequently would pet sit for family and friends in the past! I currently work full time at a vet clinic and have kitties at home that require care and medications for chronic issues. One of my cats Chyna has Irritable Bowl Disease that is being managed and my other cat Sally has behavioral Pica (Tendency to eat inedible things) that I manage well! I do not work Sunday, Mondays, Tuesdays and a half day on Saturdays. I can be flexible with my schedule but Wednesday thru Friday I typically work 10 hour shifts! On Wednesdays and Fridays I should be available after 6pm, especially if I am staying at a location for in-home care. I am willing to accommodate whatever makes owners feel most comfortable for care. I appreciate any tips for care and have no problem giving your kiddos plenty of attention💕
“Carrie took care of our two cats while we were on holiday and she truly went above and beyond. Not only did she always send pictures and an update on our loved ones, she even vacuumed the floors and took a spoiled rug home to be washed! Truly a perfect pet sitter :)”

“Melissa did a wonderful job with our cat while we were away on vacation last week! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, however she bonded very quickly with Melissa! I looked forward to the daily pics she would send me & the updates! It was really nice having the peace of mind that she was well looked after while we were away. Melissa was very reliable each day & went above & beyond!”

About: I’ve been around and have taken care of my own dogs since I was 10, any age, any size. For as long as I can remember I’ve never not had a dog of my own. They were not lying when they said dogs are a man’s best friend. I treat my fur baby like he is my literal baby because in a sense he is. And I treat any other dog just the same! :) I work full time m-f 9-5. I let my own fur baby out of the cage and he is monitored on a camera and watches tv while I am away. I can easily leave your fur baby out or they can be crated. I come home on lunch break to take Gravel out. I can only do boarding during the week but I have open full availability on the weekends. My own fur baby eats 2 times a day one morning one night. Gets treats often 🤭 and gets all the cuddles. I will treat your dog with the very same love and care as I do mine. Gravel is very loving and has been begging me for a play mate. Can’t wait to see where this goes.
About: Hi there! I’m currently working full time as a mother-infant registered nurse. I love caring for humans and animals. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and guniea pigs. In college I spent some of my free time volunteering at the local dog shelter. After graduating college, I adopted my dog, Essie, here in Columbus. She is my soul dog! Essie’s had numerous health issues, including a seizure disorder. She’s also very dog reactive and shy with new people. Because of this, I will only watch your pet in your home, but I am open to caring for animals that have special medical or behavioral conditions. I look forward to meeting you, your pets, and providing the highest quality care for them! I work 12 hour night shifts 3 days a week as a nurse, so I’m typically available any day of the week during the day. I typically have my work schedule a month in advance for a 6 week period. I want to keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy. I’m happy to follow your routine with your pets including play time outside, many potty breaks, going for walks in your neighborhood, etc.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Prospect stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
