About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and loved being around them. I started watching my co-workers pets and it led to me making an account. I walk, feed, and bathe their pets this is something I enjoy doing in my free time. I am a shift worker so my schedule is different all the time, but I can always fit in at least 2-3 visits to spend time and take care the the pet I need. The weekends I always have more time since I am off, and during the week the time won’t always be the same that I drop by. I make sure the pets get enough play time inside and out to get all the energy they have all out. I think of myself as the pet and would want to do something if I’ve been by myself all day in a house. I make sure they are eating and note if something seems unusual that the owner should know about. I see every animal as if they are my own. When I dog sit I encourage a list of things you would like to be done and the dos and don’ts.

“Morgan was amazing dropping in and checking on Steve. She went above and beyond and made sure Steve was living in luxury and had enough water and more importantly food (Steve’s favourite thing in the world). She also made sure to clean her litter box and sent me pictures everyday. Would highly recommend and would definitely ask Morgan to check in on Steve in the future. Thanks so much!”

About: I love all animals. Ive worked in a vet clinic, a PetSmart and an animal shelter. Animals are not seen in pets in my eyes but part of your family. They are very therapeutic and comforting. I'm okay with any breed of dog, mutt or pure bred. I have had multiple breeds of dogs and currently have a hound, cane Corso, and three cats! Working at different locations I have set with any (stubborn) breeds. It brings me joy taking care of animals. They have no voice so we have to be their voice. They give us unconditional love and support so we must return that favor. If you have any questions please feel free to get ahold of me. I'm flexible with hours. Have a good day, and enjoy your companion! I am a stay at home so I have all the time to spend with any babies! Everyone gets a lot of attention, the dogs eat twice a day, cats have food all dat. Water available 24/7 I have a huge yard! We have 9 acres and love animals! I love meeting new animals but I cant bring anymore home! So I shall try and pet sit and walk instead

About: I have cared for a wide variety of pets from slippery and slimy to cuddly and soft. I currently work with a diverse group of animals every day as the education coordinator at Treehouse Wildlife Center. I Have pet sat for friends and neighbors since I was 12 and love the opportunity to make new animal acquaintances. I understand not all animals are perfect and can have varying levels of temperament and care. I am ready for anything, as I understand all pets deserve the best love and care regardless. Work full time 7-5 available weekends and evenings primarily but can make exceptions due to flexibility in my current position. Let me know if you have any questions. I have two dogs, a parrot, a hedgehog, and a few aquariums. I know my pets are cared for by the people I live with like they are their own, whenever I am gone. I plan to do the same as a sitter as I know how it can feel to be unsure to leave your pets while your away. Unfortunately we can’t always take our fuzzy friends where ever we go, no matter how much we love them.

About: I grew up with at least 4 dogs in the house always. I worked for a dog boarding/daycare/groomer for about 2 years. Family has had me take care of their dogs when they’ve been on vacation I work part time so I would have no problem going over to visit your baby 2-3 times a day. I cannot stay overnight or board at my place because of my own animals, but I will go over every morning, evening, and night to feed, medicate, and play with them. Whether they are normally crated or loose, I will follow that when I’m not there. They will be fed, walked, and played with as much as they need. My animals do not like new animals so I cannot board. I also can’t stay overnight with your dog(s).

Knowing that a very soon to be vet is watching over my two kitties gave me so much reassurance! Her daily check ins were incredibly detailed and she was able to accommodate to any request we asked of her! I couldn’t imagine a better kitty sitter!”

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie 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.
