“Alaya is a fantastic sitter who honestly goes above and beyond to care for your pet. I've used her services 2x so far and will continue to use her services in rhe future. Truly one of the best on Rover.”
“Jill was great. Took great care of our dogs. I had a good feeling they were in good hands. She left a detailed update when she was done taking care of them. Jill is a very nice person and she is great with dogs!”
About: I’m located near the shore and often work with visitors who want dependable, attentive care for their dog while they’re enjoying the beach or local restaurants. I have a 6-month-old Cavapoo named Louie who absolutely loves other dogs, and I make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, safe, and part of the routine Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home consistently throughout the day, so I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, and activity schedules. I prioritize structure and consistency to make sure each dog feels comfortable and settled, whether they’re here for a few hours or a longer stay. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment so dogs feel comfortable right away. In my home, I keep a structured routine with regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and downtime, along with supervised play—especially with my puppy, Louie, who loves other dogs. I have a fenced in yard that the pups love to play in. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their dog’s normal routine and preferences to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m very attentive to behavior and adjust as needed, and I always keep owners updated.
“Caroline took excellent care of our three cats while we were out of town for 9 days, checking in on them twice per day. We have two kittens and one adult cat. The kittens can be quite messy, and require lots of attention. Our adult cat is shy, is very afraid of new people, and doesn’t like her routine disrupted. They all get wet and dry food, and have specific preferences. Caroline followed our detailed instructions for feeding, and kept the house in top shape. She was very patient with our adult cat, and even managed to get her to take some treats. We received detailed feedback and adorable photos from each check in. She was responsive to messages, and reached out with any questions. It gave us peace of mind to know that our cats were in great hands! We highly recommend Caroline, and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Our pups were very well cared for by Mary! We’d recommend her to anyone. The communication was great and we always enjoy getting pix of our pups while we’re away. We’ll definitely be using Mary again in the future!”
“Bridget was great with my 2 cats! My one cat, Finn doesn't always do great with eating while I'm away so I usually check him with my Ring. That unfortunately didn't work so well with spotty phone coverage in Europe. I did get through to Bridget once and she assured me that all was well. The kitchen was clean and the trash was taken out. Thanks Bridget!”
About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.
About: Experienced caretaker and former nanny - I was employed full-time for my child care and pet care services. Working with both children and animals, I know the importance of keeping a good balance between maintaining a healthy schedule and ensuring there is still time for play, activities & relaxation. My top priorities are keeping the animals I care for safe, loved and happy! I have experience administering medicine and reacting quickly in case of emergencies. This is my current role, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I enjoy music, nature, spending time outdoors, staying active & giving a whole lotta love! Activities include: Long walks in nature preserves, hiking destinations and public parks Visiting dog parks (for more social dogs) Playing a game of catch and frissbee (large fenced in backyard) Running, rollerblading, bike riding (especially for high energy dogs) Swimming in reservoirs, lakes and / or the beach (warm weather required) Making sure your dog stays on his / her routine that you've created is essential! I understand the importance of maintaining a healthy schedule for your pup to ensure their health and well being. Aside from the feeding, walking and exercise schedule there will also be plenty of belly rubs, gentle massages, cuddling, petting and boat loads of affection! This is currently my only role / position. This means I have full availability and plenty of time / energy to care for your pet and / or home. As a former professional Nanny, I care for them the way I would care for a child. Safety, respect, care, attention, and lots of love.
“Kenzie took great care of our two cats while we were away. Even though they are fearful of new people and did not interact much, Kenzie stayed for the whole time to try and coax them out to say hello. She sent photos every day and did exactly as we asked and then some! Will definitely use Kenzie again when we go out of town.”
“Victoria filled in for my full time dog sitter on short notice. She went out of her way to meet with my dog to prior to booking to make sure they felt comfortable around each other. She is kind, professional and took excellent care of my dog. Great communication, updated me with photos and made sure my house was secure. Highly recommend and hopefully book again when needed.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life I love to pet , brush & play with all kinds. A nice long walk is always needed or just some playtime. I’m a stay at home mom of all adult children who also love all kinds of animals. I’m available any time of day or night.I spend most of the summer away so my availability will be based on what type of care is needed. I have a large fenced in yard ( when watching pups in my Bucks county Pa home) for them to run and play in or I'm available to go to your home for feeding, walks & check ins. We are a dog & cat friendly home.
About: I have always been a big animal lover! Growing up, I was the go to caretaker for friend’s and family’s pets when they went away! My schedule is flexible so I’d be happy to make room for walking or checking in on your pets! I usually go on two walks each day, so I would love to have company. I grew up spending summers in Wildwood and Cape May so I am very familiar with the area, and your dog will be safe walking with me!

Katherine was great. All my instructions were followed and I got my cute daily pictures! She kept in contact if her schedule varied and the kitties were fine when I got home. It's nice to not have to worry when you have a great, responsible person caring for your kids!

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.
