“Marisa took such good care of our cat, Luna while we were on vacation. All the pictures and notes about her visit were amazing. She really went above and beyond what I expected! Thank you for dealing with her drama at times, oh maybe that was me. lol Anyway we did not come back to a stressed out kitty and I’m grateful for that. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a dog and two cats back home, and since I’ve been away for work, I’ve really missed spending time with them. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited to offer pet care through Rover. I’ve also pet sat for others in the past and understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work a 9-5 in Sandusky with 2 days off per week. I would love to spend my days off with your pets, I can also be available early mornings and in the evenings after I get off! You and your pets safety, comfort, and routine will be my number one priority. Since I’m currently unable to have pets at my home, I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet in their own environment.
“Katey was an excellent sitter and took great care of our cat, Max. Normally, he gives sitters serious attitude and is reluctant to trust, but she did an excellent job keeping her cool, and ultimately convinced him to choose friendship instead of violence 😂. She had excellent communication, made sure she perfectly followed all of the care instructions we left, and she even braved a massive storm that swept through the area to make sure he was comforted and cared for. 11/10 impeccable service and will happily be looking forward to relying on her services again soon.”
About: I love all animals and have a puppy of my own that I love to take on runs with me. My dog is my whole world and I would love to help others with their pets. I do work full time but am available for stop ins/walks during lunch time and plenty of play time after 5:30. I generally take my dogs on their walk around 6pm. I am able to board most weekends as well. I can easily crate pets if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard but have tie offs with long leashes. I have also near a school that has a fenced in yard that I and other neighborhood dogs use. For dogs, we will start with a walk to burn off some energy. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and then we will enjoy more playtime. Throughout the day I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well-fed and engaged. For cats, I’ll start by providing fresh food and water and spend time with interactive toys or quiet cuddles.
About: My family has had cats since I was a baby! I’ve helped out with them for as long as I can remember. I have also house sit for multiple families with animals and walked countless dogs. I get along with most any pet! Previously I volunteered at a shelter to walk and socialize adoptable dogs, and I loved every second. I got my own kitten last year and have loved every second. It has been so fun to help him grow and see him turn into a fun, loving, rambunctious cat. I am off school for a few months and have some extra time to watch or walk your pet! I enjoy being around animals so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I will do everything necessary to keep your pet safe. Safety is number one for me and I never want to see an animal be hurt or cared for improperly. I will follow all instructions and make sure your pet is healthy and happy!
“Hannah was great! We have a new puppy and she helped out with some drop-in visits while I was at work. I have two older dogs as well, so they were happy to get some attention too. My pup is still learning potty training and had an accident in the crate one of the days. Hannah cleaned up the crate and the puppy while she was there so she could be comfortable for the second half of the day. I will definitely be booking Hannah again!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sandusky stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
