About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and giving pets lots of attention. I currently have a cat and dog of my own and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I take my college courses online, so I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for pet care daily from 9 AM–7 PM and can easily work visits and walks around my classes. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’m attentive, responsible, and will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care.
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, learning to love each breed uniquely. Our pets truly become part of the family and we must treat them as such! When someone trusts me to take care of their pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I always strive to provide the best care possible to your furbabies. I currently specialize in house-sitting, please let me know if this service is right for you and your pet! I have experience in potty training, crate training and teaching tricks! I am available for daily walks, days and nights. I am available for boarding Monday - Sunday. I am also available on holidays, please just let me know in advance. My dog, Arlo, is a super friendly Mini Aussie who will also keep your pup company. A fenced dog park is available nearby for them to play and run. I will follow feeding, potty, and medication instructions accordingly.
“Rachel took great care of our cat and kept everything clean while we were away. She played with our cat and made sure everything was well taken care of. We’re very happy to have her as our cat sitter and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets around the house so I could proudly say I’m experienced with pet care. I love all animals equally so no matter how big or small your pet is I can take on any task! I have completely free time so I’m open to any day as long as you need. You can schedule same day with me so if there’s ever an emergency I can be there. I won’t be taking any pets in my house so there’s no need to worry about your pets doing well in my house I apologize to anyone who needs those accommodations.
About: Hi, I'm Janise! Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to meet your pup and give them a home away from home. 😊 Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet your pup! 🐶🥰 I'm a teacher's apprentice, so I work a school schedule. I'm home in the afternoons and off on holidays and school breaks. I live with my parents, husband and kids so your dog will rarely be alone. And of course there's my dog Frankie. She's kind, social, and always happy to make a new friend. I keep each dog on their normal routine for meals, walks, and any meds. Our backyard gives them room to run and play, with supervise outdoor time. New dogs meet Frankie slowly so everyone feels comfortable. We can also do a meet and greet first so I can learn your dog's habits and personality.
“Christella was taking care of my dog while I was away. She was very caring, attentive and responsible. She updated me every visit and sent cute pics of my dog. I’m very happy with the service!”
“Melissa was so great with my two cats! One of my cats is super shy so Melissa made sure to note when she would come out or not. So it was really reassuring seeing her updates and pictures of them while I was gone :) And my cats were happy to have her around too!!”
“Tez is reliable as always and pretty much the only person I trust with my cats. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail she puts into everything — my cats can be messy sometimes, and she’ll even help sweep up scattered litter or take care of little things like resetting the lockbox on my door back to zero before she leaves. It’s such a small thing, but it really reflects how thoughtful and thorough she is. I always have peace of mind knowing my cats are in her care.”
About: I will treat your fur baby like my own! I understand it can be scary to leave your dog in the care of a stranger, so don’t! Let’s meet before-hand and make sure your pet is comfortable with me and their environment. I am a dog mom to a 1.5 year old mini dachshund female who I adore and had a chihuahua for 14 years. so rest assured I have a ton of experience caring for small to medium sized dog. I have also been watching many different breeds on Rover for the past 6 years and have experience with Corgis, Dachshunds, Beagles, Chihuahuas, Cavapoos, multipoos, mini goldendoodles, Pomeranians, french bulldogs and many more small to medium sized breeds. I have also fostered a Havanese male rescue pup. I will send photos each day and as much as you’d like to ensure you are comfortable and feel secure with how your pet is doing while you’re away. I will ensure I follow all care instructions down to every last detail. I live in a dog friendly, air conditioned house in Secaucus, NJ. We have a private fully fenced in yard where your dog can run around and play. There are also many parks in the area for walks. My Home your rules; if your pet loves couch cuddles / sleeping with you at night we can certainly do the same, so they feel at home. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet. Caring for dogs give me so much joy, so thank you for considering my profile! Please remember that we are caring for your family member and they will get the utmost care and attention during their stay. Although tips are not required, they are greatly appreciated as we go above and beyond to care for your beloved pet as our own. Please Note: For overnight boarding drop off we are not able to receive your pet before 8 am. For pick up, please book an additional night if pick up is after 3pm since that’s an additional full day of care. Thank you so much! I work from home in the marketing industry, so you can be sure that your pet will recieve the utmost love and attention with plenty of potty breaks as I will be with them all day long. My dog London would love a friendly playmate for the day. My Husband and I work from home so we will be home with your pet the majority of the day. We can provide potty breaks as often as every 4 hours. I live in a private house with a fenced in yard making play time fun and easy. I’m happy to crate your pet if we step out if that’s what they are used to or we can give them free reign if they are potty trained and trusted.
“Baris is the absolute BEST sitter. I needed someone to check on my cats during a week-long work trip and he was extremely cordial, communicative, and went above and beyond for this nervous pet parent! He was amazingly attentive and catered to my cats quirky behaviors without issue. I 1000% will be requesting his services again for all my future travel.”
“Maryann took great care of Bailey. He loved getting all the pets and love from her every visit. She followed my instructions very well and my house was not a mess when I got home. I will definitely book her again!”
“Randi was great! She Took care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She made sure to take photos and keep us updated with how they were doing the whole time!”
“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”
“Mari was taking care of our dog for over a months. He generally takes some time to get used to new people and Mari was very patient and kind with him and won his trust. Mari was also great communicating any concerns to us and keeping us informed. She also helped me to get used to Rover. I will be happy to leave our dog with Mari in the future.”
“The best dog sitter we could ask for! Franklin absolutely adores them—on days they aren’t scheduled, he literally waits by the door looking for them. That says it all. Reliable, caring, and clearly someone my dog feels safe and happy with. Couldn’t recommend more highly.”
“Daisy was extremely punctual and so easy to communicate with. She treated my cat with extreme love and care. She updated me with multiple pictures and videos and I could be at ease when I was away. Highly recommend her”
“She is absolutely the best! She was supposed to drop in for 30 minutes, but she spent several hours and even took my dog to the dog park because she knew I’m overwhelmed with the bar exam and moving🥹🥹🥹 I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.”

Rachel did an amazing job watching our cat Momo while we were away for two weeks. She was so caring, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. We loved how well she looked after Momo and kept everything so clean and tidy. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Momo was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and trustworthy cat sitter!
Jose was great, would definitely book again! He was responsive, caring, and communicative, sending pictures and videos during every visit with our cat. This was only our second time booking through Rover, so I expected our skittish cat to hide, but he warmed up to Jose super quickly! Jose also took the time for a meet and greet when I first reached out, which really put me at ease. He even let us know right away about a random throw up and offered to clean it up (I told him to just leave it lol). Thank you so much, Jose!!
Deanna went above and beyond taking care of our cat Mr P! She made sure he was fed, thirst quenched, and just the right amount of attention given to in order to make him a happy camper while we were out of town for a week. You never want to leave your furry friend behind when possible, but if we do again would highly recommend/consider booking again!
Angela was literally a godsend! I needed someone to stop by twice a day on very short notice for my two cats, one of whom was recovering from an infection and needed eye drops administered, all right before my week-long vacation. It was a really stressful time for me to be away while one of my cats was sick, but Angela made me feel so much more at ease. She was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive, and she sent me updates on both of my cats after every visit. Knowing they were being well cared for and getting their medication properly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m so grateful to Angela for taking such wonderful care of my girls, especially on such short notice. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable cat sitter!
We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️
Yisha did an excellent job watching our two cats! She clearly loves cats and our cats really liked her, even our more shy and sassy boy! Very good communication and she sent so many pictures which made being apart from our kitties feel less distant! Will certainly book again, thank you Yisha!
Alena was simply amazing with my cat Athena. She took care of her for over a week and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. After every drop-in, she would let me know how everything went, send me amazing pictures, and provide a detailed update. You can tell Alena truly loves animals. She’s caring, polite, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Alena to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alena!
Excellent service! took care of my cat for my vacation, and the experience was wonderful. They were very punctual with the visits, kept the litter box spotless, and always left the food and water bowls clean. I received daily photos and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away.
Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cats. One of my cats is usually very shy and hides whenever someone visits, but he quickly warmed up to Lauryn and even spent time hanging out with her. This same cat can also create a mess, and Lauryn went above and beyond by cleaning up. Lauryn also shared photos and detailed notes through the Rover card, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would recommend her!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 .
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.
