“Hannah is doing an outstanding job taking care of Stanley for me while im away.. She is very responsible, she gives prompt updates and gives my boy lots of loving when she's there! I highly recommended Hannah and will continue to use her.”
“This is the first time I have used Rover. First time booking Mary. From the start, she was very responsive, met with my significant other to go over things for my fur babies. She kept us up-to-date, and loaded pictures which was very nice. I will definitely book with Mary again! Thank you for looking after Dave and Foxy!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14. I love all animals and have experience with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have 5 dogs at home so I’m used to chaos! I also started working with farm animals when I was 12 so I have experience working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and ect. I currently work only two days at my church, so I have plenty of time to play with all the dogs and cats! I will make sure to communicate with you when those times are and if I leave during the day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around in. All of my dogs are crate-trained, and they go up at night. During the day I leave them outside or they lounge around inside. All my dogs are allowed on the furniture.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up. I’ve had four dogs at the same time and I have always had a cat growing up. I love taking care of cats and playing with them. I think animals deserve love and affection and care. I’ve taken care of young animals and I’ve also taken care of senior animals. I currently have two cats who are 13 years old and 3 years old. I currently work full time, so weekends would be best or after work. Fridays I work from home so I’m fully flexible. Overnights stays would have to be weekends unless it’s close to my work then it’s possible for longer stays I have a home that my cats can roam around and everything is pet friendly. They don’t get into anything that is harmful for them
“Rachel was an incredible pet-sitter for our three cats! From the start, she went above and beyond, bringing treats and even addressing some minor stomach issues they were having. Rachel’s care and attention were evident, especially with our cat, Fiona, who adored her so much she was waiting at the door for Rachel around her usual visit time for several days after we returned. It was so comforting to know our cats were in such great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have Rachel back anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet-sitter!”
About: My husband Rusty and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We have two dogs of my own now who are our ENTIRE world! We have met amazing dog sitters on rover that have helped our family out tremendously and we would love to do that for others as well! We have done plenty of dog sitting, walking, etc. with friends fur babies and it is always so much fun to meet other dogs and get to know their little personalities! I am currently taking a break from nursing contracts right now. I have a lot of flexibility. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your fur baby and help out in ANY way I can! My dogs and I love to go on long walks outside and after we are nice and tired come inside and cuddle or play some more! I know that it can be a little bit nerve racking to trust others with your fur babies- we are the same way! Our goal is to make you feel totally comfortable letting us care for your animals and caring for them exactly how you would want! :) We would also be open to having a play date with our two dogs too if that is something you would want and be comfortable with. Our dogs get along with all dogs and cats and love to play!
“Dee is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of our doggos, and they absolutely love her. We get plenty of photos, she is punctual, and communicates extremely well. She even made them doggy-friendly cookies! I highly recommend Dee to give your puppies the love and care they need while you’re away!”
“Annika was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Moose! She followed every instruction (and there were a lot because I’m definitely an overprotective puppy mom 😂), gave us wonderful updates and photos, and took such great care of him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. She is incredibly kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We completely trust her with our boy and would absolutely book with her again. We can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I am a relief licensed veterinary technician and stay at home mom that does pet sitting on the side!! Petsitting is what I do full time now! Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard. I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. 6 years of experience with exotics such as reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised. Other times they will be free roaming with my two goldens. If they get along other times, they will be kenneled when I am away and sleeping at night in my bedroom.
About: I have tons of animal experience, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics for the past 5 years. I’ve been a vet tech at a mixed animal practice for 2 years. I’m an advocate for animals, so your fur babies will be well taken care of! I’m about to start school so I have taken some time off of work for the meantime! I have ample opportunity to take care of your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and my pets are always looking for company if you would like to do day care! If I’m just making house visits or walking, I am always open to hear how you want your pet taken care of! I will love them like my own!
“I would definitely book again, Natasha sent plenty of pictures and communicated how my dog was doing. I plan on booking with her in the future for any future trips we can’t bring our dog along to. 10/10 recommend.”
About: Hey there! Call me Katie. Amateur Animal Whisperer. I LOVE cats and dogs alike. I'm so thankful for your interest and trust in me! I am a lover of nature and all life it encompasses. I have professional experience with animals, children, and house sitting. I do well with animals of all breeds, species, ages and needs. I never meet an animal I don't love. All my life, I have had a gift for bringing peace to otherwise 'unfriendly' or 'unwelcoming' animals. It is not uncommon for me to be cuddling with a friend's dog or cat... Later to find their astonishment at their animal allowing me (or anyone) to do so! I am comfortable and do very well with animals with special needs. I am only 5'2 but I have a passion for Great Danes! And birds! And cats! I feel I am very attentive, intuitive, and loving with people and animals alike. I am looking forward to getting to know your furry family members! Thank you for reading! I am self employed, with a flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pets’ specific needs. I love building relationships and sense of trust with your babies: making them feel safe and loved during drop ins, walks and play time. Life is busy for you! When you’re away, my goal is to bring you and your animal babies peace of mind. I like to adapt to your babies natural routine as closely as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Currently have a dog and two cats that I love to bits. I always find time to be out playing with my dog and keeping cats company when it comes to the night hours. I’m currently not working but I do have the transportation to get around for check ins on pets. I have free time on my hands at the moment so my schedule is really open to going in the morning, going in the afternoon, and going in the evening times before bedtime. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so being in the client's home I would be sure to introduce myself to the dogs, be outside while dogs are playing, and always attentive as to where an animal is within the house or backyard.
“Alexandra is exactly what we needed! This was only my second time using Rover and I accidentally sent her to the wrong address(over 30 min away) 🤦🏻♀️ however she was so kind to go to our new address and take care of our babies! I could give her 5 stars on that alone, but she was so great at checking in even on our extra shy cat who hides from everyone. She even got her to come out!!! She cleaned the litter boxes more than we anticipated and was overall amazing! If you’re a beginner using Rover, Alexandra will provide all the comfort you need.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds for 16+ years. I’ve personally rehabilitated various animals and am very patient and understanding. Let me know how I can help! I work remotely so I am available every morning and afternoon. I am flexible and able to work with your schedule. My evening can be busy but I’m willing to make that work as well. I have a fenced in yard on 12 acres which are taken care of with no farm animals besides cooped chickens. I have space for all the needs that come with pet sitting.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
