“I am very glad we booked Tanaisa to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She was dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can tell she is an animal lover based in the feedback and photos she provided me with daily. We will absolutely book with her again next time we need help with our pets.”
“Krystal was so wonderful for our two dogs! She went above and beyond and washed their bowls after they ate dinner, and brought a package in for us! We will definitely book with her again!!”
“I was a little skeptical of Rover to begin with, but all my skepticism went right away once I met Kelsey and saw how good she is with my dogs. They loved her instantly and I know she took great care of them while I was out of town. She did drop in visits and also walked them, she even sent me picture updates after each visit. I felt Great peace of mind after each update and I was able to truly relax because I knew my dogs were in good hands. I also know that my dogs were able to stay relaxed and avoid the anxiety of going to a kennel. Kelsey is a genuine and great girl, I definitely trust her to come into my home and to take excellent care of my pets. You won't be disappointed :) I'll definitely be having her watch my dogs next time I'm out of town.”
“Jen was great at wrangling our gremlin! Super professional and reliable. I felt totally comfortable leaving my pup with them, and she provides great updates. Our pup typically hides for awhile from new walkers but Jen was able to get him out and comfortable in just a few minutes! Highly recommend! 😇🩷”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. She went above and beyond taking care of our cats and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got home. Truly grateful for her help and would absolutely book again.”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job watching my cat, Theo, while I was away for a work trip. She went above and beyond—not just taking care of the basics, but making sure to spend quality time playing and socializing with him so he stayed happy and engaged. I had total peace of mind the entire time I was gone. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future travel!”
“Brie is so great! We haven’t left our dogs with someone off of Rover before for more than a night, and Brie made sure we were always updated and put our minds at ease for our full week trip. We never once had to worry about any of our 3 large dogs (all are rescues with their own quirks or on daily meds) it was SUCH a relief. Texting Brie throughout our trip was like texting with a friend! The pics of the dogs were so good and always very cute or funny. She even came over to meet the dogs one evening before the trip and then we did a trial run as well on a separate occasion - we really can’t say enough good things! She never judged my crazy dog owner ways. She even took care of our axolotl and fish! The axolotl eats live earth worms so it’s not for the faint of heart but Brie jumped at the chance to help! :) We will absolutely book with her again. Today is our first full day back home and I can tell the dogs are missing her! Especially our senior dog- he keeps going to the window looking for her! Truly can’t wait to book again with her!”
“Zoie checked in on my 2 kitties for feedings, litter box maintenance and play time while I was out of town for 5 days. She let me know when she was in her way and provided feedback and pictures of them. I felt peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I would definitely book her again!”
“McKenna was attentive to my cat throughout a week. Whenever she had questions or needed clarity, she reached out quickly. I appreciated this quick communication! She also always sent pictures during her visit.”
“Kai was great with our dogs. He was super attentive and detailed, great at communication, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely be booking him again in the future.”
“This was the first time using a sitter through rover.com. we were lucky enough to choose Vicky and to be our cat sitter, we were gone for 2 weeks, it gave us great peace of mind to know that Vicky was dropping in on her and looking after her we will definitely use her again and again she goes above and beyond.”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat, Artemis. She provided many photos of him and we could tell he was being well taken care of - even when we came back, I think he missed her! We will definitely rebook if we need a cat sitter again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether it’s walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. **Before sending a request:** I’d love for you to take a quick look through my full profile so you have a good idea of my services, schedule, and approach to pet care. This helps make sure we’re a good fit before setting up a meet & greet! 😊 Since I work a full time job from home, I have a flexible schedule and am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs throughout the day. Routine comes easy for me, and my work schedule makes it easy to adapt to whatever you need for your pet. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3 dogs!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! **House Sitting Info:** I’m happy to provide house sitting with daytime care and spend as much time as needed with your pets throughout the day, including extended visits and multiple days in a row. My standard house sitting schedule does not include overnight stays, but I occasionally make exceptions on a case by case basis when the circumstances are a good fit. I’ll discuss this with you during the meet & greet and consider factors such as your pets’ needs and schedule, the distance from my home, and my family’s schedule at the time of the booking. If I’m not staying overnight, I’ll typically spend the day with your pets and head home around 9:30–10 PM, returning around 7 AM the following morning. I’m happy to spend as much time as needed during the day to provide plenty of quality time, attention, and care while you’re away, and I’ll work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and your home well cared for!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgefield
When I had to leave suddenly for an emergency trip, Kelsey stepped in without hesitation and took wonderful care of my dog, Oli. She's responsible and reliable, and she kept me updated the entire time I was away with pictures which gave me so much peace of mind during an already stressful situation. It's clear Kelsey genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I'd trust her with Oli again in a heartbeat, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable, caring pet sitter.
First time using Karalynn and it went so so great! My dogs were so happy and very settled when we got home. Its amazing that they can be in their safe space and have someone come in and make them feel safe while we are gone. Binx cat was playful and friendly while we were gone which not everyone can get from him! Amazing
Hannah did a great job! She took care of our two cats while we were away. She followed all the care instructions, sent pics and spent time with them. We really appreciated her extra effort to get to our more remote area and for giving our cat friends great care.
Vivian has been great with our new puppy, Ruby. She takes her outside to potty, works on some training, gives her love and attention, and been especially helpful with making sure she is clean and comfortable since Ruby has had GI issues. She has really gone above and beyond and we highly recommend her!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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 .
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.
