“Annika was very nice to work with. She committed to daily visits for my two rescue bunnies while we went on vacation. She sent pictures and also he helped water my plants which I appreciated. She was very responsive to texts. Thank you for your help Annika:)”
“Kelsey did a fantastic job taking care of Buddy and Rocky while I was on vacation. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind I had while traveling. She fed, cared and spent time with them as if they were her own. The daily check in pictures and texts were so nice to reassure me they were in great hands!”
“Morgan is absolutely amazing! She took care of my cat with care and love. She’s extremely detail oriented and provided timely updates, shared lots of photos, and did some extra work that she found beyond what I requested. Thank you Morgan for taking care of my cat!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, family friends, and neighbors for over 10 years. I have a family dog that I primarily took care of from 8 weeks old to one year old. I’ve taken care of my neighbors cats multiple times and I currently have two of my own. I currently have a part-time job that I work Monday-Friday. This still leaves plenty of time for me to provide care for your animals in the morning, at night, and during the day. I would be able to adjust to each clients home according to how they specifically take care of their pets. My first priority would be the pets safety. I would provide regular food according to their feeding schedule and make sure they always have fresh water. I would learn about their specific needs and take note of changes in behavior. They would receive plenty of attention and affection in my care. A clean living space and regular exercise would be a priority. I am responsible with every pet I care for and clients can always depend on me to show up and put in time and effort with their pets.
“I contacted Maria late on the evening before we were leaving for a last minute weekend away. This was our first time to use her. She responded and was so sweet to come for a quick meet and greet before we left. We knew right away that she had a special love for cats. She and our Mac connected right away. We loved that she shared many photos with us and let us know what she did on each visit. Maria gave us peace of mind that our boy was being well cared for while we were gone. She also kindly watered my flower pots for me. We highly recommend Maria.”
About: I've had a dog in the house since I was 7. I went to training with my mom when we first got him, and have helped train and take care of him since. I am a trusted pet sitter in my friends and family friends community to walk, feed, give medications, and house sit. I love love love dogs. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open! Hire me for whatever time you need me for. I am currently very available! I will make sure to follow all instructions you leave for me to the letter and just love on your pup as much as possible. I know how hard it is for pups to be left and you can trust me to make sure doors/gates are closed and rooms that shouldn't be accessed can't be, etc..
“Alana was right on time for multiple visits to care for and check on my big Akita/husky pup. She sent pictures of him playing on each visit and sent me texts updating me on his status. Couldn't ask for better!”
“Candice is super great and quick with communications, and keeps my cat super entertained by even bringing her new toys while I was gone. My cat is a little shy around people who aren’t me and she was at ease with Candice around!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since childhood, so taking care of animals has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe great pet care starts with taking the time to understand those individual needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t see pet sitting as simply stopping by to feed an animal—I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, giving them extra playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable care, communication, and regular updates. Your pets will be treated like family while they’re with me I currently work full time at home. My schedule is very flexible and can accomomdate your pet's needs whether it is drop-in care or walks! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet receives their regular meals, fresh water, medications if needed, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to spend quality time with them, whether that means going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, giving them cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also take pride in being respectful of your home. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet’s space is cared for, and provide regular updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life growing up. I have taken care of all pets of any age from seniors to the youngest ones. I have also taken care of pets with all different energy levels. I work 8 hour shifts full time from 6am to 2pm as well as every other weekend. I am also in the nursing program at Delta college. I am free any time before or after that. I have two indoor cats. One kitten and one older cat. I also have a year old border collie that has very high energy and well mannered.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! My love for animals has only grown further. I am comfortable giving any medications and dealing with any age range from puppy-senior dogs! I’m available any time to care for pups. Times that would work best for me on weekdays will be mornings and evenings, weekends I am available 24/7! I am comfortable with any breed as I have two German shepherds myself. I am easily able to adapt to any environment/breed and assist with anything you may need. I love going for walks and making sure the dog is getting plenty of active play and has all food/water/medication they may need.
About: I'm a dedicated animal lover with a proven track record in the pet care industry. My diverse experience includes owning and operating a successful pet training and boarding facility, as well as consulting for a renowned service dog training organization. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I understand the unique bond between humans and animals. My personal "zoo" includes three beloved dogs and a menagerie of other species, reflecting my passion for all creatures great and small. I actively contribute to my community by working with local rescues and animal welfare organizations. My expertise extends beyond dogs to a wide array of animals, from hamsters to horses, with a special affinity for exotic pets. I'm known for my professionalism, flexibility, and genuine love for animals, which consistently earns the trust and affection of both pets and their owners. As an overly attached pet parent myself, I empathize with the worries that come with leaving your furry (or scaly!) family members in someone else's care. That's why I go above and beyond to provide frequent updates and personalized attention, ensuring your peace of mind. When I ran my own facility, I even created individual "blog" pages for each dog, allowing owners to stay connected with their pets daily. I'm thrilled to offer that same level of care and transparency to my current clients. Let me bring my expertise and passion to your pet care needs – your furry, feathered, or scaly friends will thank you! For an extra fee, I can tack on training to daycare or boarding My routine is pet care centric, whether I'm pet sitting or not. I'm almost always doing something with my many pets, particularly the two dogs. I follow strict safety protocols. If needed, I can crate your dog, use double leashes etc. Whatever is necessary for your pet to have the safest environment
“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful caring for our three kitties while we were on vacation for a week. She communicated including pictures every day and even watered our flowers for us. She provided great peace of mind so we could enjoy our time away and not worry. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Heather!”
About: For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to fostering dogs, gaining extensive experience with all breeds, large and small.

I've supported countless dogs through challenging times, including post-surgical recovery for puppies and severe medical conditions, always offering unwavering love.

Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when ever you need me. I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
