“Emily is a fantastic pet sitter! She dropped in on our two cats while we were away and took great care of them. She was super communicative, reliable, and prompt. We will definitely be repeat customers if Emily is available when we are out of town. Thank you, Emily!”
“Jennifer is everything you would want in a pet sitter - responsive, reliable, and goes the extra mile. She visits our cats when we go away. She is quick to respond and I don’t worry for a second about them while in her care. She also goes above and beyond- taking empty cat food cans to outside recycling and making sure the food space stays clean.”
“August did a wonderful job caring for our girls again! They got lots of love while we were gone, which makes it easier to travel knowing they are in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I have two sweet Pitbull-Lab mixes at home who’ve taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. I have hands-on experience with administering medication (oral and topical) and even diapering pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or needs special attention, I’m confident in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for them. I proudly service Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, and parts of the East Mountain villages. I’m happy to work with your schedule, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and detail-oriented, I’m your person. Let’s set up a meet and greet! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have two Pitbull-Lab mixes who keep me on my toes! Between walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles, I’m used to building my day around pets and their needs. Taking care of other people’s pets just feels like a natural extension of what I already do. I’m flexible with my schedule and love being around animals, so whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to make it work! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine with feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and all the cuddles they want! I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.
“This was my first time using Rover. Beth did fantastic, she spent time with my dog and walked him everyday while I was gone. I’m using her again at the end of the month and I know my Buddy was well taken care of.”
“Heaven is just wonderful! When we did our meet and greet, I found that she had read both of my big dogs' profiles. She asked relevant questions about each dog's health and medical needs. She came wearing a small bell so that my blind dog would know where she was--so smart and thoughtful! Upon successive drop in visits, she made sure to follow all directions, gave each dog individual attention and belly rubs (which they loved!) and also made sure they had a backyard visit. She sent pictures and notes following each visit. It is very obvious that Heaven has dog experience and takes their care seriously. I am looking forward to using her services in the future and feel very happy to have found her!”
“Mira is the best! I was so happy to rebook with her and I can't recommend her enough. She is responsible, patient, communicative, kind, and sends the best updates after each visit. My sweet kitty has really warmed up to her!”
“Max was fantastic watching our two cats for a week. He was very responsive, reaching out when he had questions and sending pictures and updates each day. We highly recommend him for cat care and he will remain high on our list for future rover sittings.”
“Svetlana took excellent care of our two dogs and cat. You can tell she really loves animals and spent a lot of time with them. She was very well prepared and made sure she understood everything before we went out of town. She was reliable and communicated very well and sent tons of pictures while we were away. She also went above and beyond, playing fetch and bringing a new ball for them to play with. We will definitely book with Svetlana again in the future.”
“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”
“Brooke went above and beyond taking care of our babies. She communicated very well and we were very comfortable with how she cared for them. Will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently care for two cats and a dog of my own. I’m very comfortable with daily routines, playtime, feeding, and giving pets lots of attention and love. I also frequently dog sit for friends when they’re out of town, so I understand how important it is to provide reliable, trustworthy care while you’re away. I’m currently a psychology doctoral student finishing my final year, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so I’m excited to make some new furry friends while providing reliable, attentive care! I treat every pet like my own, with safety and trust as my top priorities. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, and surroundings, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I aim to create a calm, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and I’m always happy to send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Absolutely love how well Holly and Rob take care of our pups! They are very kind and attentive. We have a dog who has trouble getting up and they ensure to gently help him up to ensure he gets some time walking around. Thank you so much!!”
About: Several years ago, I rescued my own dog Luna from wandering the streets. She was almost three years old and completely untrained. I worked very diligently to potty train and teach her all the basics, including good leash manners. I grew up with both large and small dogs, guinea pigs, and varieties of fish. Also, I have experience pet-sitting a large pig and multiple senior cats. I’m extremely thorough, detail-oriented and can administer very specialized care; I excel at taking care of a wide range of furry babies, from youngsters with high energy to older pets with medical needs. If your dog is still training, I’ll follow the methods you prefer to ensure they get extra practice and don’t lose any progress! My schedule is pretty open right now, so I’m very flexible! I am most available 11am and on. I can do late evenings as well. My girl Luna is extremely spoiled, and I intend to spoil your pet, too! Mine has a very particular routine with medication twice daily and supplements with her food. If you have detailed instructions or needs, I love that! I know what it's like to have specific needs for your pet and I want to treat your pet just as you would. Understanding that every pet is different, I will accommodate his/her needs as well as their unique quirks. I’m happy to care for your pets in your environment, just like you do! I want them to trust me and feel comfortable that their routine hasn't changed.
“Leaving our cats and dog with someone new made me nervous, but Luca completely exceeded my expectations. Luca came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and asked questions about our cats and dog's routine. Luca sent multiple photos daily, giving total peace of mind. I highly recommend and will absolutely booking again.”
“Thank you Seneca! I appreciate you coming over to the house and giving Dante his medicine. I love the report you provide on his activity and pictures. You are a caring and loving dog mom!!”
“Candice is one of the most caring person we know. She has gone above and beyond to ensure Bea is safe and comfortable. While the weather was pretty bad during the time Candice was watching Bea. She made sure Bea was safe and secure. We are so grateful for Candice.”
“Megan is wonderful with my puppy. She is very attuned to my standards and expectations, and has a healthy knowledge of dog handling herself. I am extremely grateful to have found her to help look after my puppy while I'm at work.”

Patricia was incredibly sweet and reliable. She made sure to spend a good amount of time each day with my cat and provide pictures as well as updates. I was admittedly nervous to use rover and leave my cat with someone that I did not know beforehand. However, it was clear from our first meeting that Patricia has a love of animals and would care for any animal as her own.
Marina did a wonderful job caring for our cats! I could already tell the first time I met her that she would do a great job. She asked great questions had great attention to detail. Very responsive, always on time, and our cats were happy and well taken care of the whole time. Thanks again Marina!!

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.

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 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.
