“Thank you Taylor! Taylor did an amazing job watching our dog Daisy all weekend and was exactly what we were hoping for when we signed up for rover. Taylor gave very detailed reports utilizing the rover app during drop in visits and provided tons of photos. Taylor also took our girl on walks each visit. When we arrived home from our trip Daisy was looking for Taylor haha. We will definitely utilize Taylor again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love all sizes and breeds. I worked at a vet for 4 years with lots of experience in walks, boarding and medications. I have always loved finding ways to keep my pup happy and busy and will do the same for your pup- of any life styles. I work from home full time and take my pup out multiple times a day, including a short walk at lunch as well. I have one dog and very used to active life styles including feeding schedules, walks and medications! It’s important to me that your dogs can continue the life style you want to give them! I will never let your dog off their leash outside, and will ensure their collars and harnesses are secure on walks outside as well. And I will keep them active inside if they do not enjoy walks outside or sitting on my patio!
“There is no one like Emi-Lu. She always goes above and beyond with her care for our dog, Finn. She is so attentive and gentle with him. Furthermore, she sends us reminder messages the day before she comes to visit and asks us updated questions about Finn each time, which is much appreciated. Finn absolutely loves her and we do as well.”
“As always, Heather is reliable and wonderful. We travel many weekends for kids' activities, but we never worry about our pets because we know we can count on her to take excellent care of them!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, caring for four dogs and a cat, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, whether it’s for a walk, check-in, or overnight care. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am home for the summer and have availability up to August. I will be working part time and will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a friendly 6 year old dog at home with many toys beds and crates. i am experienced, as i’ve been pet sitting for the past two years and grew up with 5 pets.
“Kara was amazing to work with and took such fantastic care of my 2 kitties while I was out of town! It was clear they were well cared for and she attended to every detail! Communication was also very good!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Barb. I did not have a care or a worry about my cat or my house while I was away. I knew everything was in great hands with Barb. Having peace of mind while away is not always possible. But Barb provided that, which is priceless. Yet beyond all of that, my cat adored Barb. He loved her calm and gentle nature and I could tell from the videos and pictures Barb shared, that he felt safe and nurtured around her.”
“Theresa did a GREAT job! My cat Zoey clearly enjoyed her visits and she even brought her a new toy! Plus, she brought in our packages and mail 2 weeks before Christmas! Such a wonderful sitter!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I absolutely love spending time with pets—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets, and I always treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands, and I’d love to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I’m available after 5:00 during the week if walking is needed or a late night feeding I’m available most weekends days and nights Some Mondays I’m available earlier than 5:00 I would be comfortable caring for your pet in my home however I don’t have a fenced yard I would have to walk them if a dog to use the bathroom.
“Great sitter! Always communicative. Goes above and beyond to care for your pup. Examples: gives tips to help me as a new dog mom of a puppy, he let me know my puppy lost his first tooth and saved it for me, he noticed my pups nails were getting long and clipped them for me, etc. You won’t be sorry if you book him to care for your fur baby. :)”
“My experience with Jessi was perfect! My shy cats actually came out from under the bed for her. She left super informative feedback and accommodated all my requests! She was super sweet and kind. I will definitely rebook with her soon!”
“Kelsey was amazing! She took such good care of Rico, shared pictures, and gave him lots of snuggles. We lost power at our house while we were away, and not only did Kelsey keep us updated on the temperature and make sure Rico was comfortable - she even reported the outage on our behalf! We will definitely contact her for future dog sitting needs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else. Thank you, Kelsey!”
“Looked in on my kitty while I was gone and did everything I asked (and more!). Very kind, thoughtful, and gave great updates - I hope they can babysit in the future!”
“Abbey was great! Reliable, communicative and took great care of my cat Figgy while I was away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a responsible care taker... Thanks, Abbey!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my ability to balance active, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. Whether your pet loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or simply relaxing and feeling safe, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable working with elderly pets and those with medical needs. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and close attention to detail when it comes to medications, mobility limitations, or simply providing a quieter, low-stress environment. I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable, supported, and cared for at their own pace. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying attention to the little things, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure to plan my availability so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 7 AM to 5 PM, Tuesdays from 8 AM to 1 PM, and Fridays from 8 AM to 2 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins. My weekends are very flexible, allowing me to provide more extended care, drop-ins, or multiple visits as needed. I’m especially happy to help with dog walking, whether it’s part of your pet’s daily routine or if you just need an extra hand. If getting your dog out for a walk has become difficult, I’m more than willing to step in and make sure they still get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I aim to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or favorite playtime activities. I approach every home with respect and every pet with patience. Some pets love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence, and I’m very comfortable adjusting to both. I make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in the place they know best.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Salem
Taylor was terrific! She is experienced, reliable, and a great communicator. We received detailed visit updates and photos after each drop-in without fail. She truly loves animals and did not hesitate to go the extra mile in her care of Luna and London. They were happy and relaxed when we returned, and we would not hesitate to leave them in Taylor’s care in the future.

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.
