“My kitty is always well taken care of when Ashley is taking care of her. Bella loves her and her rover card with pics always brings a smile to my face. She definitely enjoys what she does. I will rebook with Ashley anytime I need someone.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for many years. Growing up, my family had a dog, and after college, I adopted a street cat who sadly passed away shortly after my daughter was born. These experiences made me very familiar with daily pet care routines such as feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. Now that my daughter is older, our family is excited to welcome animals into our home again. We host only a small number of pets at a time, so each one receives plenty of attention in a calm home environment. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide photo updates so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away. I also like to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. Pet care fits naturally into our weekends. My husband and I are busy working professionals during the week. On weekends, our family enjoys staying home or participating in family-friendly activities, so we can focus on providing attentive care, playtime, feeding, and regular updates for pets staying with us. We strictly limit the number of pets at a time so everyone (including the humans) can relax in a quiet home environment. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine closely and happy to provide photo updates so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away. Most importantly, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
“Morgan did a great job with caring for my Golden Retriever and my cat. My cat is diabetic and she tested his glucose and gave insulin when needed. My cat doesn’t always allow new people to take care of him but he did with her. She even took my Golden for a sleepover at her house so my dog wouldn’t need to be crated for a long time. I would love to have her sit again for my animals!”
“Christa was amazing, my dogs are a little nuts and she was very well equipped to make them feel safe and happy! No issues and she took sweet photos of both my awkward dogs!”
About: I have always grown up around animals of all shapes and sizes. Handling scaly friends and giant puppies alike comes like second nature to me. I’m currently working part-time remotely and attending an online winter course, so I have plenty of free time to check-in and spend time with your little friends of all sizes! I’m happy to follow any and all safety requests you have regarding your pets. Crates, feeding procedures, whatever you need, I’ll be it. Anything to make sure both critter and I are safe and sound!
“Aurora was amazing!!! We used her twice for drop ins while we were visiting the area. We all absolutely loved her (us and the pups). She came and met the pups a day before we needed her. All fear was gone, because they immediately took to her. She was very professional and always sent us pics. She was even very understanding about the campsites weird rules about visitors. If we come back again we will definitely try to get Aurora again”
“Camila is great! She came to my apartment to meet them the day before which I think helped a lot. She is gentle and patient and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. I really appreciate the pictures and videos she sent me and I could tell my cats really liked her :)”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with neighbors and friends who have trusted me to pet sit for their beloved pets. Whether it’s providing daily walks, administering medication, or just offering some love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in reliable hands. I am currently a full time student and working a part time job but your pets will always come first! Their safety and comfort will be my top priority while with them. Since I have class I will typically be unavailable in the late mornings, but early mornings and afternoon/evenings I will be completely available. I take the safety and well-being of your pets seriously, and I ensure that they are always in a secure environment while in the comfort of their own home. I stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication, to minimize stress and maintain a sense of normalcy. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. From securely closing doors and windows to keeping dangerous items out of reach, I’m committed to preventing any accidents or escapes. You can trust me to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m one of the only people that could take care of my one friends dog because it was very mean. I stay at peoples house to watch their pets or just stop in throughout the day. I currently work full time, I go before work and then after work. If I’m not staying the night I go again before bed time. If I’m staying I go after work and then either get dinner or make dinner then stay for the night. When I’m taking care of others pets I do as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy, healthy, eating, drinking and doing their business. If something seems off I will inform the client to make sure it is normal for them. I want the clients to feel comfortable and sure their pets are being cared for while they are away.
About: I have spent countless years caring for all shapes and sizes of animals. Anything from fish, to guinea pigs, to horses, and all in between. I currently work full time, but my employer is very flexible and understanding of my schedule, and allows me to do whatever is needed for the comfort of your furry friends. I spend countless hours in your home, with your fur babies, to ensure that they are able to run and play, just as they would if you were there. I strive to make their lives normal, just like it would be if you were home with them.

About: As a college student studying Zoology, animals and their care are more than a side hustle or a hobby: they’re my world. Apart from my academic coursework in animal care and welfare, I have more than eight years of personal care and volunteer experience with numerous animals, including but not limited to: cats, dogs, horses, rats and mice, hamsters, snakes, various types of lizards and amphibians, goats, chickens, sheep, cattle, and even invertebrates such as tarantulas and scorpions. Rest assured, I’ll never discriminate against your furry pal! I have experience giving oral medication, both liquid and pill, as well as insulin injections and subcutaneous fluids. I also have experience caring for elderly animals — like my 18 year old cat, Maya! I can provide feeding, brushing, hoof care, walking, exercise, medication, play time, turning out, litterbox cleaning and much more! I have a driver’s license and my own transportation, and my hours and pay are flexible. I am willing to drive 60-90 minutes depending on needs. As mentioned prior, I have extensive prior experience volunteering at various shelters, vets and farms assisting with animal care, as well as my own personal experience caring for a diverse array of pets. I am happy to gather recommendations from organizations I work with. While caring for your pet or pets, I will regularly keep in contact with you and update you with both text and photos (if desired), along with keeping a dedicated spreadsheet of feeding/watering/grooming times and overall health to guarantee your peace of mind. I am capable of providing pet care across a flexible schedule. I can provide early care from 6-9 AM in the morning and any time after 4:20 PM on weekdays, as well as 24 hour care on weekends and overnight stays if needed. I am able to care for pets in a wide variety of ways thanks to expensive experience. Walking, feeding, litter-box cleaning, playtime, as well as insulin/subcutaneous fluid injections are all possible. I can also administer medication orally. Daily checkups as well as overnight stays are both possible.

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 .
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 , 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
