About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6+ years! I have 3+ years of veterinary background at Texas A&M University and additional vet pharmacy experience from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. I have experience administering medications including pilling and house-sitting! I am currently on remote rotation for my Pharm.D. program, so I am very flexible in my hours throughout the week! I am willing to stop by or stay to house-sit as well. I am in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit in your home, house-sit, or wherever you need it. I can also come in and let out the pets for potty breaks, or administer medications.
About: I’ve been around pets most of my life! I currently have two kitty’s of my own and have helped care for my dad’s cats and dogs since I was 11. I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons during my lunch break, and the rest of the evenings during the week. Weekends are more open, which means your pets get plenty of extra love, playtime, and attention! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I make sure every pet is cared for, and secure, whether that means giving them space or extra cuddles. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and love I give my own, keeping things clean, safe, and stress-free.
“Justin accepted our request on short notice, which we "greatly" appreciated. He came to the house ahead of our departure to meet and receive feeding instructions. Justin visited twice daily and stayed a full half hour each visit to provide play time, etc. He also emailed us pictures after each visit, which we grew to look forward to receiving. I highly recommend Justin. He provided a professional and friendly service. Thank you Justin, you are the best of the best! P.S. We will give you more notice before our next trip :-) Jack & Charlotte”
“She is very attentive and communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Definitely cares about my cats and their wellbeing. Overall very happy. Thanks again!”
“Krisanne and Gaston took such great care of our timid kitties! They also kept our house nice and clean and went above and beyond to take care of things while we were out of town.”
“Elizabeth took such great care of my anxious guy who has been having a hard time after our recent move. We did a longer drop-in and she comforted him with pets and reassurance while I was out. He didn't work himself up into frantic stress while I was gone, and we are working to make him feel more comfortable and safe in our new space. Would 10/10 recommend Elizebeth for anxious pets, separation anxiety, dogs going through any kind of transition, etc.”
“Without a doubt Jessica is the person for you! And your pet! She was on time, followed all instructions & loved our pet 100% we did not even meet get face to face. Jessica followed specific written instructions & did it 100% on task - we have cameras inside & she definitely can be trusted sight unseen. Thank you so very much for being there when we needed you.”
“Katie was so great with our senior cat and went above and beyond for us over Christmas break! He felt so comfortable with her immediately it was like having a second me at home to do the check-ins and help give his medication! Would recommend her highly to anyone needing a great Rover, I didn’t have to worry at all while we were gone!”

About: I’m an experienced and dependable dog sitter/caregiver who loves spending time with animals! I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to giving every dog the attention, care, and affection they deserve!! I’ve watched and raised dogs of all ages and sizes and also volunteer at my local shelter :) I am a college student at Utah Tech University and have classes in the mornings and on some days late afternoons Mon-Thurs. I also work part time as a Receptionist at Dogtown Pet Spa in St. George! If you have any questions regarding my schedule please feel free to reach out at anytime :)) I am comfortable with crating, feeding, picking up waste, and taking pets on walks! I’ve always had dogs in my home so I am super comfortable caring for them. I am very respectful of boundaries and am very commutative through texts and pictures/videos to ensure you and your pets feel safe!!

About: I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a playful puppy, or a senior who needs a little extra patience, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I focus on building trust with both pets and their owners by providing dependable care, regular updates, and lots of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make your time apart as stress-free as possible, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. My job is super lenient and I’ll have plenty of time to check in on your babies! Pawsitively the Best Care for Your Best Friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the home and the animals with the same respect and attention I would my own. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special routines to help pets feel comfortable while you’re away. I always make sure pets have a clean, safe environment, plenty of love and attention, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress free as possible while giving you complete peace of mind.
“April helped watch my cat, Spot, and did a great job. She gave regular updates for each visit, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he was fed and had company when I was gone for my trip. When I got back he was happy and healthy. I would recommend April if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
About: I first fell in love with caring for animals with my family dog, who I cared for and loved throughout my childhood and early adulthood, including as a senior dog. I’ve lived with and loved cats as well. I’ve also volunteered at a local shelter with dogs, and I loved my time there. Currently, I dog and cat sit for friends and family, and I would absolutely love to provide the best care for your pet! Pet care works well with my schedule. I work a hybrid remote job, which allows me to work from home for majority of the day. This means I’ll be readily available to care for your pet throughout the day. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors, and am happy to take your pet (dog) with me! I understand that inviting someone into your home takes a lot of trust and communication. While caring for your pet in your home, I will always follow any instructions left for me, stay respectful and courteous, and communicate via photos, texts, or calls- whatever works for you!

We love Jessica caring for our fur babies so much and she does such a great job that we don’t worry anymore about our dogs and cat while we’re gone. She is amazing! And we also love the fact that our pets are comfortable while we’re gone knowing Jessica will care for them. They love her too!!!
Hailey did an absolutely amazing job watching our cat. Our cat is incredibly shy and usually hides from everyone—even family members who have known him for years rarely ever see him. We honestly didn't expect him to come out at all while we were away. To our surprise, Hailey somehow won him over! Not only did she take great care of him, but she got him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her. We joke that she must be a cat whisperer because our cat normally doesn't like anybody, yet he trusted her. It's clear that Hailey is patient, kind, and truly understands cats. Knowing that our shy little guy was comfortable and cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional pet sitter!
This Team is Fantastic! Everything I requested from Gaston and Krisanne was handled professionally and with a spirit of "we are here to help." I had to add days, add mail pickup, correspond from out of town, so all my wishes for my kitties, Lily & Fuzzy were granted. Photos of the day are submitted and even though my kitties are shy, I could tell they were fed, had treats, crunchy bowl was monitored...daily fresh water was provided. Please consider them for your pets care. I am definitely going to continue to support and book Gaston.
April helped watch my cat, Spot, and did a great job. She gave regular updates for each visit, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he was fed and had company when I was gone for my trip. When I got back he was happy and healthy. I would recommend April if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area.
Elizabeth was so great!! We highly recommend hiring her for any pet sitting needs. :) Her attention to detail and the time she spent taking care of our cats was so appreciated. She gave us a peace of mind while we were on vacation for over a week. We will definitely be reaching out to her when we need a pet sitter again.

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.
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 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.
