“Kaylee did an amazing job pet sitting my cat Fluffy for 8 days! Highly recommend. She spent extra time with him, played with him, let him curl up with her for extra pets, brushed him, even brought a laser toy and extra treats! In addition to feeding and watering him. Sent pictures and a note everyday. I felt completely comfortable and assured that fluffy was in great hands. Will definitely have Kaylee pet sit again.”
“Beth was awesome. She visited our Sagwa as scheduled. Not only did she take care of Sagwa’s food, water and litter box, Beth also provided Sagwa with companionship and love while we were away. Beth sent us pictures and detailed updates after each visit which gave us the comfort to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use the Rover.com app again and we will definitely request Beth again. We will be telling our friends about Rover.com.”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs but have a solid 5 years of independent experience (without family) caring for my current long haired cat, Darcy! I currently live with five cats and have past experience with dogs as well! I am very patient and quick at understanding the needs of each pet. Their comfort is most important to me! I have just recently been offered a part time job as a barista! So, I will have plenty of free time to fill! I do not work Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I’d have the full day to be filled! As for the other days of the week I will still have much free time, but I’d have to work around my work schedule no problem! Plus additional days off depending on my schedule. I know the importance of respect, accountability, and responsibility when being a guest in any persons home, so caring for a clients pet in their home would be no different! I am happy to do what is requested of me and not overstepping boundaries!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shrewsbury
Would definitely book Kaylee’s services again. This is the first time I’ve had to leave my little girl for more than 16 hours and I wanted reliable care. I was originally going on a vacation but had a family medical emergency. Kaylee was able to work with me and modify my original plans. I loved how focused and attentive she was at the meet and greet for my pet and how she took notes as well as made sure my little one was comfortable. When she came to do the house visits she always let me know and took pictures, making sure she was very well cared for and given love while I was gone. Would definitely hire again for my future trips/emergencies.

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 .

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 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.
