“I was nervous about leaving my animals especially as a first time rover user but Jennifer made the entire experience stress free She went the extra mile and made sure our cats were as comfortable as possible. She sent daily pictures and communicated throughout the entire process. Our rescue kitty, who sometimes has a hard time with new people, warmed up to her very fast. I will be using Jennifer for future trips and I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Amelia has been so great in getting to know our dogs and house and even with a broken door handle (eek!) was able to problem solve, take care of all 3 of my kiddos and communicated the whole way.”
About: I've been around pets and farm animals my whole life, from puppies to palliative care, eyedrops to emergency surgery trips- my compassion for creatures helps me stay in tune with their needs and my experience tells me what to be alert to. Whether your pal just needs a morning walk or a whole care routine, I'm there for it! I've sat for friends neighbors and relatives, as well as 3 years on Trusted Housesitters with a dozen happy pet parents. I'm self employed and regularly walk and run in and around Las Cruces- I'd love to take your furry family members on an adventure! Or if couch cuddles are more their style, it's easy to bring my work to your home to keep them company. I will keep your pet's routine in your home, or take them for a hike if you're comfortable with that. Whether your pet sleeps in bed with you or in a crate, I'm happy to do whatever they're used to.
“Time away was seamless. Shauna took great care of Cookie. She was timely and made sure Cookie had playtime Daily. I will definitely request Shauna for future jobs. Many thanks Rover!”
About: I’ve taken care of Dogs for a very long time, I’ve house sat for weeks for multiple friends! I have owned two cats and two dogs of myself! I love taking care of animals! I’m currently a full time student but most classes end around noon! So I’m available multiple hours at a time and very flexible with staying overnight aswell! I am open to anything you need from me! I am in the dorms so having the pets at my home would not be an option! But I am open to staying with your animals and doing anything that you need me to care for your fur babies!
About: I’ve gained most of my experience working directly with animals in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with daily care, handling, and monitoring of pets. I regularly work with dogs of all sizes and personalities everything from playful puppies to senior dogs that need a gentler approach. A big part of my role is also helping care for boarding pets at the clinic. I assist with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring medications are given accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience maintaining routines and providing attentive, reliable care for pets staying away from home. Outside of the clinic, I’ve also cared for pets in home settings, making sure they stay on their normal routine, get proper exercise, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to balance structure with a calm, loving environment. I am a pre vet college student right, I have lots of free time during the weekend. I am available to house sit in the comfort of your home on the weekends Friday-sundays. I also offer dog walk during the week, more availability in the weekends. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I work closely with each pet parent to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and needs. My goal is to create a calm, secure environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. Every dog is different, so I take time to build trust and adjust my care based on their personality. Whether it’s sticking to their walk schedule, maintaining their feeding routine, or helping them feel less anxious while you’re away — I work with you to create a plan that supports their well-being.
“Savanna is a rock star ! She came through last minute and I am so grateful ! She also was very patient with Gatsby ans My other fur child Colby ! Thank you so much I will book again and with Savannah!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. My family, neighbors and friends have always relied on me to make sure their furry friends are cared for and safe. I have been around dogs and cats all my life and can handle pretty much anything that comes my way! I am a student athlete at NMSU. I practice in the morning but check in every 1-2 hours to make sure all pets are safe and well. I am completely back at my apartment no matter than 4pm and make sure to take pets on a walk or find any active for at least 60 minutes. I always have a full bowl of water readily available for animals. I have plenty of toys and area for the animals to relax and lay down. I make sure all wires and kitchen appliances are kept far away and out of reach so no accidents happen!
“Super grateful for Cienna. It is not easy to find someone with the patience to care for a cat that needs medication twice a day but she persevered and took great care of Annie. My house looked the same when I got home as when I left and I’m grateful for that as well.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Ysidro
Jasmine was THE BEST! We came back to a very happy and healthy cat. The daily comments and pictures were one of the highlights of our days. Of course we were worried about our boy but after a few days our worry became less and less. She even took care of the ants that kept discovering his bowls. We Highly recommend her. And so does Hadley!
My little kitty loved Kellie, which is a win! Kellie was great. She watched my cat for two weeks and made sure her water and food were filled. She also made sure the litter was cleaned every other day, which is more than what I usually do. She also watered my plants and took the trash out for me! My little fur baby definitely got some loving while I was away.

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.

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.
