“Marissa took excellent care of my 17 yr old chihuahua mix including giving his medications. She kept me updated on here visits. Will use again and recommend to other pet parents.”
“Joslyn took care of our 2 senior cats for 2 weeks with daily drop-in visits. She was outstanding. Joslyn is very diligent and caring. I would recommend her to everyone and I will not hesitate to rebook the next time I travel.”
“Madison helped us out with only a couple of hours notice. She was responsive, polite, and our dogs were well cared for and appropriately tired when we got home. I highly recommend Madison.”
“Lillie has been exceptional with the dogs and equally exceptional as a professional. She has house sat and dropped in with my dogs on several occasions. She is communicative, punctual and treated my dogs not only like family, but maintained our training and routine. Owning a large working breed requires a certain proclivity and understanding that Lillie has. It is hard to find this level of care or trust that is required for in home dog sitting. My only complaint is that she has other clients and I can’t have her all to myself!”
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
“I am not very trusting, have a hard time letting people in my space and around my fur baby. This experience was wonderful. It took Lacey a bit to warm up to him but she was literally eating out of his hand. He was very nice, took care of everything, and informed me of all their interactions along with sending photos. I will definitely see if he is available again should I need someone to look after my kitty.”
“Shelley is great! She took care of my cat, Bobo, for 4 days while I was away. She answered all of my questions, stayed for a while during the initial meet 'n greet, followed my instructions to a "T", and stayed longer so Bobo could get comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to book Shelley again. I highly recommend her services.”
“Alyssa did a 30 min drop in. She arrived early and stayed a little late and asked questions when she was unsure. I gave her limited instructions and she took the initiative to take the dogs for a walk and top up their water bowl. I was very pleased with her service and I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.
About: Animals are one of my favorite things in the world. I can take care of all different species, but am most knowledgeable with dogs and cats. I can administer medications, bathe, excercise and more. But most importantly, I can make sure they’re happy and safe! I am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies and can provide flexible scheduling too! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow feeding schedules, give plenty of attention and playtime, and can crate pets if needed. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages for peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of my community’s pets since I was 17. I’ve cared for almost all kinds of pets. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I always try to go the extra mile so that pet parents not only come home to a happy, healthy pet; but a clean and well-cared for home! I am a middle school band director who works 7-3 most days. However, I can go before and after school care and I can spend nights! My kittens get fed twice a day, they get a new toy once a month and go to the vet once a month! They also have their litter box scooped every night and cleaned once a week. They even sleep in the bed with me. If I’m caring for dogs, they go on at least 3 walks a day of varying length (depending on the dog). I frequently watch a 13 year old pug who can’t stay out very long, so he goes on 3, 10-minute walks a day. However, if your dog has the endurance to go on a longer walk/run with me - I’ll take them up to 3 miles!
About: I have grooming, training, & boarding experience. I’m experienced in administering medications; pills, eye drops, shots, etc. Animals are my peace so I’d love to give a peace of mind to others😊 I’m available full time, there are currently 6 dogs & 2 cats in my house & the pups get outside about 3-5 times a day depending on the weather. I also have a 3 year old whos with me 3 days out of the week. I have a fenced in yard, all of my pups & my sisters are crated when not supervised. I would prefer crates brought when staying with me just for safety reasons! & if I were to watch your pup in your hone they’d get the same love & care they receive from you😊
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.
“Jessi did a great job dropping in on our dog Maggie! We loved the thorough description of her visit and the many pictures that Jessi left on her drop in card. It was great knowing that Maggie was being cared for so well while we were away. If you need someone to take care of your pet, definitely consider Jessi!”

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.
