“Delaney was absolutely AMAZING! At the last minute I had a sitter cancel the day before I was supposed to leave for a trip and Delaney without hesitation was willing to help. She was very accommodating around my schedule to make time to meet Ivory beforehand. She provided very thorough updates and was very caring towards ivory the entire time! I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small rodents. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I cared for through his senior years, and a Miniature Schnauzer/Jack Russell mix, whom I raised from a puppy. I also previously had a hedgehog named Harold for 8 years, and currently have a cat named Penelope (Nellie), who I absolutely adore and am so obsessed with. I am comfortable around even the most “difficult” pets and would love to care for your pets like my own! I have the most availability on evenings and weekends, and am typically available for major holidays as well. I know you can’t always predict when you will need pet care so I try to be available with short notice. I know the importance of a safe environment and will ensure that your pet’s space works best for his/her needs as well as your own.

About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.

“Dave was so sweet and attentive when she came over to meet our cat. I could tell that she was an animal lover! She was dependable and came over every day to check on Juju - she even brought over a cat toy for her to play with while we were gone. I was worried about leaving our cat for such a long period of time, but Dace sent pictures and updates, so we knew she was well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine—giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles, small mammals, birds, and aquatics. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has me excited to open my schedule for caregiving. With my vet background and a passion for compassionate care, I provide a loving, low-stress experience tailored to each pet’s needs. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to offer plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and enrichment. I prioritize meet-and-greets (completely free!) to ensure we’re a great match for you and your pet before any booking. Whether your dog needs medication support, post-surgery monitoring, or just lots of cuddles and fun, I’d love to care for them like family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I work from home, therefore I am free 24-7 to help take care of your animals and help meet your needs while they are in my care. As of now- we only own cats. We recently lost our dog to cancer. I believe animals thrive best in a structured environment. We keep a consistent schedule for our pets, feeding, play time and whatnot. I do ask that your pet is friendly with children.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. Growing up we were a multiple dog and cat family at all times. This is why I understand the care and attention pets need while their owners are away. I have a full time job, however I am very flexible on my work day hours so scheduling for drop-in visits or walks Monday-Thursday will be no problem. I am off Friday-Sunday, so my weekends are even more flexible for the care visits I can provide. For drop-in visits I will arrive at the scheduled time every time. My routine can vary based on client requests, however I typically prefer to let the pet out for a bathroom break first thing. After that, I will ensure food and water are refreshed as needed for the scheduled feeding times. I typically like to allow the pet to run around outside or take them on a walk to get them up and moving during my visit. Before the visit ends, I like to ensure they get another opportunity to use the bathroom before bringing them back inside.

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 .

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
