“Mary is always amazing. We love having her watch our fur babies. Even after some time away, they absolutely remembered her and were so excited to see her! Would highly recommend Mary to anyone🥰”
“Erika was awesome! She gave thorough, daily updates on my kitties, and I knew they were in great hands while I was away. I would be lucky to have her care for them again in the future!”
“Much appreciation for the evening visits George made to our beagle pup Saturday evening. Husband and I could relax and go into the city last minute and know our pup was being let outside to run around and not feel neglected. We appreciated the photos and note letting us know the pup was exercised and content. We also appreciated the pre-visit to meet the pup and get the lay of our home.”
“Jessica was amazing! Very responsive, sent good pictures of my animals and made sure they weren’t lonely while I was gone. Was very friendly as well, would definitely rebook”
About: Hi, I’m Leanna! I’m an experienced house and pet sitter and remote freelance professional, which makes me particularly well suited to overnight and multi-day sits. Because I work remotely, I’m often able to spend much of the day at home with the pets in my care while keeping their normal routines intact. I enjoy the quieter side of pet sitting: keeping animals company, feeding and caring for them according to their usual schedule, maintaining a calm home environment, and making sure owners can travel knowing both their pets and their home are being looked after thoughtfully. I’m comfortable following detailed household and pet-care instructions, providing regular updates, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, keeping the home tidy, and noticing when something seems unusual. My best fits are longer house sits, cats and multi-cat households, lower-energy or older dogs, pets who appreciate having someone around during the day, and households looking for a dependable sitter rather than primarily a dog-walking service. I have previous house and pet-sitting experience and can provide references and testimonials. Generally manage breakfast and litter/potty needs first thing with my morning tea or coffee before starting work. Unless your pets have specific routines, I'll generally take breaks every few hours, plus meal breaks to do check ins, play time, snacks, and activity as needed. I'll make sure I have a thorough understanding of all systems, equipment, and routines you have at home and to respect how you prefer things done (e.g. Floor only, specific snacks, no human food, etc.)
“Stephanie very clearly cares about the animals she looks after and it is easy to see she has their best interest at heart. She also is able to read the personalities of different animals and caters her care to each specific animal. I am so glad she is around and will definitely call her again!”

“Ollie loved Kate immediately upon her first visit. Callie stayed under the bed but when I’d check in the cats via camera it was clear both were more relaxed. Kate was consistent, checked on Callie under the bed and gave Ollie all the love he would let her. We came home & Ollie did not do his usual stomp to every floor of the house screaming at us. Nothing in the house was messed up, nothing broken, all as it was left including happy cats. I’ll definitely be using Kate again.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I helped care for our family dog and cats, which taught me the importance of being dependable and attentive. Since then, I’ve watched dogs for family and friends during vacations and regularly care for my mom’s dog here in Geneva. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and relaxed while their people are away. Whether it’s feeding, going for walks, or simply keeping them company, I want every dog I care for to feel at ease. I’m calm and attentive, and I treat each dog with the same care I’d give my own. I’m especially comfortable caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or older and slower-paced, I adjust to their needs so they’re comfortable and content. I have a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays if you’re out of town. I only provide care in the owner’s home. This helps dogs stay comfortable in their usual space and keeps their routine consistent. I always follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your dog is doing well and everything is on track. My goal is to make things smooth and stress-free for both you and your dog.
“She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”

“Happy repeat customer! Kassandra is amazing, incredibly responsible, and goes out of her way to do extra tasks that are not required but very much appreciated.

We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!”
About: I have been dog sitting or walking for the last seven years. Also, I worked for a dog daycare for about 2 years. I'm experienced in giving medication and getting stubborn dogs to eat their food. I'm comfortable walking any size or breed of dog. I will be available through the summer and possibly during the school year. The daily or weekly care depends on how many pets I'm caring for at a time. Between the end of August to the beginning of May, I can sit on the weekends. I do require a meeting with owners and the dogs before I dog sit. I'm comfortable to come to my clients home to care for them. If that is taking for a walk or just spending some time with them. I have two friendly beagles that love anyone and a fenced in back yard. I do have a crate of it is need.
“Elyse was amazing with our princess cat! Normally family/relatives watch our cat, so we were nervous...but after meeting Elyse, we knew our cat was in excellent hands! Elyse sent pictures & a thoroughly detailed note after each visit — next time we go out of town, I will absolutely be rebooking with Elyse!!”

We have used Kassandra for three years now, and she never disappoints. She takes great care of our two cats, sends us tons of pictures, and keeps us consistently updated. She goes above and beyond, vacuuming, taking out the trash, and more! We love Kassandra, and you will too!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Charles stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
