“Abby did a great job taking care of our elderly dog while we were away. She gave us important updates and stayed in communication with any questions she had about his care. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry knowing Sam was in great hands! Would definitely recommend and use Abby again!”
“Ashlyn was willing to watch our cat on short notice after we had to unexpectedly leave town, and we are so grateful! We recently moved to the area so we were especially worried about leaving our girl. Fortunately, Ashlyn was very communicative, sending daily photos and updates, which helped ease our stress. Our cat is typically shy and can take a few days to warm up to new people, but she seemed comfortable within a day of Ashlyn watching her. We are again so appreciative of her and will definitely be asking her to watch our girl again in the future!”
“Kai was very helpful while I was on Christmas vacation. She always checked on my cat on time and gave me lots of updates. I couldn't be happier and will hire again in the future 😄”
“We absolutely love Madelyn!! She is so amazing with our Brody boy:) we never worry when he is in her care because we know she truly cares about him. Thank you so much for everything you do for us:)”
“Bethany is an amazing dogsitter! She’s always on time, follows instructions, and sends prompt updates. We know our dogs are in good hands with her which makes our trips stress free!! She’s the best!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I grew up with both cats and dogs and lived on a farm, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Today I’m a proud cat mom to two, which means I know cat body language, feeding routines, litter box habits, and how to help an anxious cat settle in a new environment. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, I treat every pet like my own! I work full time, but my job allows me to come home over lunch. I can offer midday visits and potty breaks in addition to mornings and evenings. This makes me a great fit for dogs who need a break during the workday or cats who just want company and a fresh bowl of food. Pets are part of my daily life, not an occasional hobby. My home is pet-proofed and set up for animals to feel comfortable. I’m attentive to safety basics (secure doors/gates, no accessible hazards, fresh water always available) and I keep owners updated with photos or messages during visits so you always know your pet is safe and happy.
“We’ve always had great experiences with rover, but Colleen was absolutely wonderful! We really appreciated the detailed notes she left each day and she went above and beyond in so many ways and we would definitely use her again!”
About: Welcome to our dog-loving family! 🐾 My husband and I are a team with a deep love for animals, and together we provide attentive, loving, and reliable care for your pup. We create a calm, safe, and happy environment where dogs can feel at home while you’re away. 🚫 We don’t accept aggressive dogs, females in heat, unfixed males, dogs coughing or sneezing— safety and well-being are our top priorities for every dog in our care. ❗️All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, Specially Bordetella. ❗️Daycare is open 7:30AM to 6PM. Any pick-up after 6PM will be considered boarding price. WHAT I OFFER • a calm, clean, dog-friendly home • lots of presence, warmth, comfort and gentle attention • individual care (I host a limited number of dogs) • regular walks adjusted to your dog's energy and needs • continuous communication (photos, videos, updates) • safety, responsibility and a loving atmosphere BEFORE CONFIRMING THE BOOKING, PLEASE SHARE: - your dog's age, breed and personality - how they handle separation and new environments - allergies, medications, special needs - how they react to other dogs and people - daily routine (meals, walks, habits) - likes and dislikes - whether they can stay home alone - any house rules (e.g., do we need to hide the shoes? A little bit about me.. I grew up surrounded by animals from horses, pigs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and many stray dogs. My family often rescued them from the street, and that’s where I learned how to care for them and, most importantly, how to truly love them. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but I soon realized I’m too sensitive to handle see them in pain or saying goodbyes. That’s why I’ve poured my heart into this work, because every dog deserves to be safe, loved, and treated like family. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and welcome them into our little dog loving family! Thank you for trusting us 💛🐶 Pet care is my daily routine. I spend most of my day with the dogs, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, having fun and well-loved. I occasionally teach online yoga classes, but during that time, my husband is home and helps care for them. Between the two of us, your pup will always have someone nearby to supervise, play, or just relax with. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day, they’re free to relax inside or play in our large, fully fenced backyard under supervision. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment with plenty of water, rest, affection, and playtime. Since I’m home 24/7, I provide constant attention and adapt to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. For dogs who need extra care, such as those with medical or emotional needs, I offer gentle, individualized support. My husband also assists during the day, especially when I’m briefly teaching a yoga class. Our goal is always to make your dog feel secure, loved, and part of our family.
About: As a 20 year-old who has grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, my passion for animals runs deep. From an early age, I’ve always found joy in their companionship, and this love has driven me to create a life dedicated to their care. I have firsthand experience rescuing a dog, which taught me the importance of compassion, patience, and understanding when working with pets in need. I’ve also volunteered at dog and cat shelters and worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience caring for animals of different sizes and temperaments. These experiences have strengthened my animal-handling skills and taught me how to understand each pet’s unique personality. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine connection with animals. I understand their needs and communicate with them in a way that builds trust and comfort. Whether I’m training a rambunctious puppy to follow basic commands or providing gentle care for senior pets, I always approach every situation with love and respect. I believe that every pet deserves individualized attention and care tailored to their specific needs, and I’m committed to making sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. As a soon-to-be freshman in college, my schedule is set to include classes four days a week, but I still have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. My mornings will be flexible, allowing me to spend quality time with the pets before heading to class. After my classes, I’ll have afternoons and evenings free, making it easy to provide love and attention to your furry friends. I’m excited to incorporate pet care into my routine because it allows me to balance my studies with something I’m truly passionate about. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize creating a safe and secure environment above all else. While I don't offer at-home pet care services, I make it my mission to ensure that your furry friends feel safe and comfortable in their own space. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them at your home, I take every precaution to protect their safety. I’ll carefully supervise them during playtime, use secure leashes and harnesses for walks, follow your specific feeding guidelines,and make sure they are always in a safe, enclosed area. I understand how important it is for you to trust that your pets are in good hands, and I’m committed to putting in the effort to provide a caring and secure experience. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I will always go the extra mile to ensure they are happy and secure!
“New to the area. Needed a pet sitter. Molly was awesome. Had her watch our cat for 2 weeks. She was very sweet and worked with all our requests. She was prompt to respond, answered any question we had while we were gone. Our kitty was well fed and had good water when we came back! We plan to use her whenever we go out of town!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a child and have spent 15 years caring for animals of every size and species, including dogs, cats, and small farm animals. I currently share my home with an 8 year old dog and a 4 year old cat, so I’m well-versed in multi-pet households and the different needs each animal brings. I understand that every pet owner has their own way of doing things, and I follow specific instructions and routines to a T, no matter how particular they are. I’m attentive to individual pace, whether that’s a senior pet who needs things slower or a puppy who needs more supervision, and I treat every animal in my care like family. I currently work from home and only show availability on weekends however, I am able to fit in during the weekdays often especially if someone is close by. Just reach out! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always follow the specific instructions given by the pet owner, including feeding times, medication, routines, and any behavioral quirks their pet may have. I pay close attention to gates, doors, and leashes to make sure everything stays secure, and I stay alert to each pet’s body language and comfort level throughout our time together. I leave the home exactly as I found it, so owners can trust their space and their pet were both well cared for.
About: I have decades of experience caring for my own personal pets as well as those of family, friends, and coworkers. My pets are part of my family and I know yours are too. I would love to meet your babies and help you care for them while you have to be away. Because I work remotely, I have built-in flexibility during the day. Besides the Jacuzzi occasional errand or appointment I will be home with your pet. When caring for your babies, I follow the routine you set as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get appropriate walks or playtime, and receive plenty of calm attention. I provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Natalie was highly recommended when our usual Rover was out of town and I am so grateful for the recommendation! She was a perfect fit our ten year old grumpy, but so loved cat Frederick!! On time, updated photos and kept him on his schedule!! 😊”
“We recently had the pleasure of having our kitties taken care of by Mackenzie while we were away on vacation. Once again, she did an excellent job! Our cats were well taken care of, and we could tell they were happy and content upon our return. The litter box/pet areas were kept clean, and they had plenty of food and water. It's such a relief to know that we can rely on her taking care of them while we are away. We have booked with her before, and we'll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“August was great! She made time quickly to come meet our cats before she watched them and communicated well while we were gone! The cats warmed up to her well and we will for sure be using her for cat/dog care in the future!”
About: I previously worked in the vet field for over 20 years and am comfortable with all breeds, ages and species! I truly adore all animals! I'm a SAHM with 2 young boys so I'd prefer to care for animals during their school hours and the occasional weekend walk or visit! My 7 pets are my absolute world. I will treat your pets as thought they are my own. I do however require leash walks off site!

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.
