“This is the second time we have used Naomi and we adore her and how well the cats are taken care of! The cats all remembered her from last time so everything went super smooth :) we will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, ranging from miniature dachshund to German shepherd. I was involved with 4H when I was a child. I am comfortable walking dogs and administering medications. I currently work full time in healthcare but desire to provide pet care services in my free time. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I will care for your pets in your home to keep them as comfortable as possible. I will follow their routine to keep them as happy and stress free as possible.
“Kim was amazing! We were a little worried going on vacation but she had great reviews. Having never used this kind of service before we did a meet and greet and she put our mind at ease. She sent pictures and a small description of what she did during her drop in visits and spoiled our kitties with treats. Will definitely keep her in mind the next time we go out of town. Thank you Kim!”
“Our shy little kitty doesn't do well with overly friendly advances. Kristina understood this and approached her with care and love. Kristina gave us an update every visit and sent the best pictures. We will definitely request Kristina again for our cat sitting needs.”
“Sarah was wonderful to our two kitties while we were away. She took the time to actually play with them every visit and kept us updated on their shenanigans. We will absolutely be using her again for future visits.”
“It was our first time using Jeremy. He was very kind and punctual. Very good with our 3 cats. He definitely gave us peace of mind while on vacation. Hope to use him again in the future.”
“Dog was happy when I returned. My auto litterbox was jammed while she was there but that was my miscommunication. She cleaned up a hairball he left and did a great job taking care of him. Would definitely have her back to watch the sweet boy.”
“As always, Dasha took great care of Midori while we were gone. She is great with everything. A small thing, but Dasha asked about the dishwasher on her first visit to see if we would be a good fit. Since then she always starts the dishwasher right before I get back so there are clean kitty dishes and spoons when I get home. Small details like that really make me know she takes good care of Midori while we are gone.”
“Jordan took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town! Jordan went above and beyond for us and sent us sweet pictures every drop-in! We definitely will use Jordan again in the future!”

“This was my second time I've had Carmen care for my animals. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that needs care for their pets. She and her family truly are amazing and really love wht they're doing. Thank you SO much.”
“Our sweet kitties were healthy and happy when we returned home from vacation. Trisha sent daily updates and photos toprovide comfort to this nervous fur mama. I would definitely book her again”
“Debbie is fantastic and took care of our beloved kitty with so much love while we were gone. Communication was easy, and she was super flexible and great to work with. We'll definitely hope to have her take care of our baby every time we're traveling!”
“Deana was excellent! Our cats are extremely shy, but we could see them on their pet feeder, happily eating their food and laying in their favorite spots so they seem very relaxed. We will definitely rebook in the future and would love to have her back.”
“Working with Anna on a plan to help provide kitty sitting in our home for a few days was a pleasure. Her approach & focus on the pets first while also being attentive to how our home works was a relief! She made it very comfortable & easy to trust her with our home & pets. We would definitely recommend her services & will book with her again.”
“We were lucky to find a caretaker like Terry for our senior while we were away. She clearly has a love for animals and our cats got along with her. She gave oral med to one of our cats daily. Her daily pictures were great to see as we knew they were being well taken care of. She even offered to help out if we got delayed coming home or if we needed any additional visits which gave us an added peace of mind while we were away. Terry is easy to get along with and is very reliable.”
About: I’ve taken care of 5 dogs so far while their parents are on deployment. I treat every pet like family!! Can’t wait to meet you! College student; I am completely open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. The other days of the week I am gone at least six hours. I live in an apartment but that has not been an issue because of constant walk around the apartment and trips to the dog park.
About: Back in high school I would pet sit for any of my neighbors or friends that needed their pets looked after while they were away -- ranging from dogs to cats to bunnies and sometimes fish. When I was younger, my mom was a pet sitter and would bring me along to help care for and look after the animals and I loved every minute of it. She’d walk me through the tasks the client required and made sure everything was taken care of before leaving. As well as this, I’ve always had a dog or cat growing up and currently have a dog and 2 cats at home that I absolutely love and care for. Recently I have watched some of my friends pets while they were away on vacation as well. I am currently only available Saturdays and Sundays, but I can’t wait to spend that time with and care for your fur babies if you need! For pet safety in my client’s homes I take the necessary precautions outlined as they see fit for their pet(s) whether the pet has a tendency to knock things down or gets into things they aren’t supposed to as well as follow any other house rules while I'm there that have been discussed with the clients.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
