“Ryan and Jennifer were nothing short of amazing! We got lots of cute kitty pictures of our little guy while we were out of state every day! Ryan was excellent at checking his litter boxes, following our medication routine and checking up with us if we had any concerns! Ryan even left us a super adorable picture of our cat for when we came home! Great communication, professional and kind humans, would recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals for as long as I can remember- From dogs, hamsters, and rabbits as a young child, to now a senior dog, a senior cat, and 2 younger cats. Although this is my start to professional pet sitting and walking, I have many years of non-professional experience with my own pets and pets of family and friends. I also have plenty of experience in canine body language from being a dog groomer. I am an active dog groomer with a somewhat busy life outside of grooming. My availability will look a bit different than others. Being a groomer my walking and sitting schedule will vary based off grooming clients for the day, here is a general idea: Single Drop-in visits and Walks: Available all day on Thursdays, Sundays, and alternating Mondays and Tuesdays. Available after 4 or 5pm every other week day and Saturdays. Long-term Drop-ins: Available Sunday-Saturday AM drop-in: between 7am and 8am depending on location PM drop-in: between 4pm and 7pm I do offer more in depth care for anxious, disabled, and senior dogs, as well as puppies upon request No matter which service I am providing I can promise your pup will not be left unsupervised at any point. For walks I will have my own leash on top of yours to ensure safety.

About: I grew up on a farm with many various animals, tending to their needs all year round. We also raised Great Pyreneese, and I trained my dog in 4-H! I'm currently in nursing school, so I have time around classes during the week. Monday and Wednesday, I am available until 12 and after 2:45. Tuesday and Thursday, I am free before 11 and after 12:15! My schedule does differ so feel free to reach out! In your home, I follow your routines, secure doors and gates, double-check leashes, monitor constantly, and keep your pup calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.

“This is my first time using Rover. Jennifer made it so easy and was amazing. She looked after my kitty and was super responsive. I really appreciate she helped us with our cat due to it being a small job which can be harder to find someone to accommodate. I will definitely be back when we need help for weekend getaways for our pup and cat. Thank you Jennifer!”

Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”

About: Cai has been providing in home pet care since she was a teenager and began boarding pets when she started grad school in 2020. Joe has been boarding cats since around 2019 and has began boarding dogs since 2024. My partner and I work from home and provide full time care, meaning that, unless discussed beforehand explicitly, your pet will not be left alone and you can rest easy knowing they have our full attention. We only accept more than one pet at a time if they live in the same house and we are pet free right now, so you dont have to worry about how they might get along with any other animals. We have a fenced in yard for your pup to run around in and we live minutes away from Tower Grove Park where I love to take walks.

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.
