“Christine is awesome, she is a very caring person and that reflected really well with the visits. My dog, Laika, was well taken care of, she was always happy every time Christine would come over, well fed, well walked and played with 😊 I would definitely recommend having Christine take care of your beloved pets, they’ll be more than happy 😄”
“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”
“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”
“We ended up getting delayed in our return home and Kiara once again stepped up and was able to feed our fur babies so they wouldn't have to go the whole day without eating. We are super grateful to her.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve helped raise and care for around six dogs and two cats from birth through their senior years. This has given me experience with daily routines such as feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing comfort and attention at different life stages. I understand how important consistency, patience, and gentle care are for pets to feel safe and happy. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. * Monday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Tuesday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Wednesday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Thursday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM * Friday: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow all owner instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. During walks and drop-in visits, I use secure leashing, stay alert to surroundings, and ensure all doors and gates are properly closed. I also provide updates so you know your pet is safe and well cared for at all times.
“Ruth was great! When we came home, everything had been done for Skiity. She made a point of communicating on a daily basis and letting us know that our cat was OK. I really appreciate Ruth’s dedication and responsibility.”
“Carolina is amazing! She was so punctual, diligent, and great with the pups. They were perfectly kept and cared for, the check-ins were in point every time. We are so grateful for your care!”
About: Graduate of a veterinary assistant program with 5 years of professional animal experience. Grooming small dogs, giving baths, administering medication, and training puppies are my specialties. Trustworthy, patient, and fun. Your pets will love every visit! As an online college student, I’m available weekday mornings and evenings. I offer walks, drop-ins, and at-home grooming, with flexibility for recurring or last minute visits. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, and pets can enjoy my fenced 2 acre yard or 50 ft long line safely under supervision. At the client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and handle pets gently, providing a calm, positive experience every visit.
“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”
About: I love all types of animals, from cats, to rabbits, and even to exotics! But, dogs definitely have a special place in my heart, simply because I have also been a previous dog mom. I’ve had many different dogs throughout my life, from toy breeds to active herding dogs, so no breed is too much for me! I’ve petsat countless of dogs in the past, and I also worked as a vet tech for 2 years, so I have experience with administering meds and giving extra care to sick pets. I promise you that your dog would be incredibly happy under my care! I will take care of them as if they were my own. I am a full-time student who can definitely be flexible on what days to pet sit or dog walk. My maximum amount of drop-in visits are 3. In my home, I bathe my dogs, feed them, take them on long walks, administer anynecessary medication/preventatives, perform nail trims, and clean up after any messes. The same will be done for my future clients’ pets when in their respective homes or in mine.
“Melida is simply the best. Tucker and Beckett absolutely love her. She is caring, gentle and loving with our dogs. This is our second time with her and will continue to use her if she’ll have us. 💜”
About: Hi! My name is Laritza and caring for animals has always been my passion. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and I truly treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I currently spend most of my time at home with my baby, which allows me to provide a calm and loving environment where pets receive lots of attention, supervision, and affection throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and can feel comfortable and safe. I live in a safe condominium with nice areas for walking dogs and I also have a small fenced patio where pets can safely enjoy fresh air. I always make sure every pet follows their usual routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you are away. I currently spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide constant attention and care for the pets I look after. I also have a baby, which means I naturally maintain a calm and home-centered routine. This is actually a positive environment for pets because they receive plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. I always make sure pets get their walks, playtime, and the attention they need. If needed, I also have family support to help with childcare so I can fully focus on walks or specific pet needs. My schedule is flexible, and I always adapt to each pet’s routine to make them feel comfortable and safe. I live in a safe and peaceful condominium with several areas perfect for walking dogs. I also have a small fenced patio where pets can safely enjoy fresh air. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Because I spend most of my time at home caring for my baby, pets are rarely left alone and receive lots of supervision, love, and attention. I always prioritize safety, following each owner’s instructions carefully and making sure every pet feels relaxed and cared for as if they were at home.

About: I believe my veterinary experience and genuine love for animals set me apart from other sitters. I'm currently a 2nd year vet student and have worked in veterinary hospitals for several years which has made me comfortable in caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs. I have experience with administering medications, monitoring senior pets, handling anxious animals, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I’m also patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and give them all the love they deserve!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because working with animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a 2nd year veterinary student home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I will also be shadowing at a veterinary clinic a few times a week that will help me stay active in the veterinary field while continuing to build my experience with animals. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for pets consistently, maintaining routines, and providing attentive, compassionate care throughout the day. My priority is always making sure that pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away or while we're on walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help make them feel as comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive exercise and playtime, and get plenty of attention and love that they deserve! With my veterinary experience, I'm also able to closely monitor for any changes in behavior, energy level, and overall health. Not only would I want the pet to trust me, but also helping owners feels confident that their pets are in great hands and receiving attentive and compassionate care. I will always treat any animal that crosses my path with love like how I treat my babies at home!!
“Roxana was very attentive to my boys and took great care of them at the apartment. She played with them cleaned up after them and took care of their medical needs. 10/10 would recommend and will boom again”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond West
The best experience! This was the first time our dog and two cats stayed at home during our vacation. And I’m happy to report because of Jennifer the experience was 100% enjoyable and stress-free. Many pics at every drop-in, reports regarding their food, bathroom breaks and activities! Extremely communicative and reliable. Will definitely book again!
My cats feel very safe and comfortable around Carolina. They are usually frightened of other people, but they get along with Carolina very well. Carolina is a good communicator and updated us about the cats daily. She has watched my cats multiple times and I have never had any issues.

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.
