“Sierra was a wonderful petsitter to my 20 years old cat and 10 years old dog. She checked on them to be sure they were all right while we were out of the town.”
About: I’m not doing this as a side hobby—I live this every day with my own pets. I understand behavior, energy levels, and how to keep animals calm, happy, and cared for. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, respected, and spoiled (in the best way). Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to handle feedings, walks, and playtime consistently while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard and my 3 dogs play well with others,I also have 2 cats but they stay in one part of the house and usually let the digs do thsir own thing.
“Rebecca is extremely responsive and reliable. Our puppy is very nervous and sceptical of new people. Rebecca week after week worked hard to foster a loving relationship with our dog. He is now so comfortable with her and it’s a huge relief! We always get fun videos and pictures while Rebecca is with our dog which I love!”
About: I’ve grown up around big dogs my whole life. I have both house sat for cats and dogs before. Small and large. I make the animals are well fed, cleaned up after. I have had to aid in medical care on a dog before. I have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to make sure the pets are well visited. Even if it just means sitting with them it is important they don’t feel alone. Rather than constat play and activity I would gladly sit around with the pets to make them feel more comfortable . Whether the yard is fenced in or not I want to always make sure the pet is within my view. While getting to learn the pet I want to be able to watch how they act. If something were to go bad it’s important that I’m able to pinpoint what has happened because I was watching them.
“Jackie was absolutely amazing! This is my first time using Rover and I'm convinced I got the best pet sitter on here. I will definitely book with her in the future. She kept me up to date everyday and sent so many great pictures. I know my pup had a blast with her!”
“Fallon was wonderful with our pups- 2nd time we hired her :) Our pups looked so happy and she was a diligent communicator. As a nervous dog mama, Fallon did everything possible to make me feel comfortable. She always sends many pictures which is so comforting.”
About: I have owned and taken care of animals for 20 + years, I can walk, entertain and provide daily care as needed I enjoy playing with the animals I am currently at home for most of the day and pretty flexible to be able to provide most pet care needed that is needed. I have a fenced back yard and we let our dog out side whenever she wants. I can work with clients based on what is needed
“Morgan was awesome! It was obvious from first meeting that she has a special connection with cats. She was very responsive and we loved getting the daily updates with photos.”
“Donald did a great job taking care of Brodie. He followed all of the instructions I provided and made sure everything was done just the way I asked. I appreciated the updates and photos, it gave me peace of mind while I was at work. I would recommend Donald and would be happy to book with him again.”
“Nicholas was awesome. He was able to look after Napoleon even with last minute plans. He arrived on time as promised, and followed directions. I would definitely use his services again.”
About: I’ve raised & trained all my pets myself. My days are mostly free so I’m good with getting pets on a schedule. I’m comfortable with all breeds. I’m currently working overnight so my days are free. I have a decent sized space so your pet will be comfortable. I can accommodate supervised nights. I have a pet myself so your pet will have company. I’m fine with schedules & directions for pets. I take my dog out frequently. I treat train my pet as well as crate train.
About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine, provide consistent updates, and create a calm, safe environment so both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I work monday-thursday at a veterinary hospital and i care for animals there and then I have 2 more animals of my own that i care for as well. Friday-Sunday for the most part, I am available to care for other animals in need. Everyday I am caring for an animal, whether its a animal at work, at home, or on Rover. I always make sure I make time for all animals. The rates i have on my Rover account are my base but i am able to work with clients upon caring for their furbaby I have a beagle that is 5 and she has a 100 ft lead i have in my backyard so she is out a lot of the day. She is high energy so i go on lots of walks and park visits along with doggy daycare during the work week. As for my 1 cat, I scoop the litter boxes every other day and have him eat on a raised, ceramic, slow feeder. They get lots of cuddle and play time when I am home and they free roam the house having access to all types of animal beds around the house, a cat tree next to a window, and 3 bowls of water. My dog has her own space which is her crate that has 4 blankets and a nice dog bed, she loves to be in her crate and i spend a lot of time training her and mentally simulating her.
“Amazing care taker! First trip we were gone for 5 days, and doggies were not happy that we left them. First visit they were unsure of Leah, by the 2nd vist( 2hours later) they loved her!!! Lots of updates, pics and doggies played and snugged with her. Loved the updates and very happy doggies were happy!!”
“Elan was great in a very unusual dog sitting situation. It is obviously that this is more than a job for her, but a labor of love. She sent daily reports and answered any questions we had about their welfare. I would definitely use her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockbridge
Eliscia was amazing with our 4 cats. I would highly recommend. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. The kitties loved her and she loved them! I suggest getting the whole hour so she can play with your cats or dogs. My wife and I will definitely rebook her again next vacation. I can’t recommend enough!
I had an excellent experience and would absolutely book again. My pets are naturally cautious around new people, so I was incredibly impressed by the patience, care, and understanding she showed them. One of my cats is usually the more social of the two, but even he typically takes several visits before he’s comfortable interacting with someone new. To my surprise, he was already coming out and interacting with her by the second day, which is much faster than normal for him. My other cat is much more cautious and prefers to stay hidden. Even so, she took the time to learn his habits and was able to locate him on the first day, which reassured me that he was doing well and adjusting safely while I was away. I appreciated that she respected his boundaries and allowed him the space to be himself rather than trying to force interaction. She was very communicative throughout my trip and provided thoughtful updates that gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs rather than treating the visits as simple check-ins. She also took wonderful care of my fish, Marley. It was great to see him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her as well. That attention to detail showed me that she genuinely cared about all of my pets. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pets were in her care while I was away. She treated them with kindness, patience, and respect, and I could tell they felt safe with her. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.
Amazing!!! Jackie took amazing care of my deaf boxer and gave him some much needed training! I also left my little anxious puppy home for the first time and she made sure she was safe and happy the whole time! We had a lot of things going on at our house while she was there, construction workers coming in and out, our heat was broken, etc. I was very nervous but Jackie handled it with ease and was great about communicating everything! Will 100% be booking with her whenever I am out of town. Thank you so much!!

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.
