About: I have been a dedicated dog owner for the past 8 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets. I regularly helped care for my brother’s 16-year-old dog, gaining valuable experience with the extra patience, attention, and support that older dogs require. In addition, I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since high school. I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care so your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. As a PA student, my schedule changes monthly, but I often work only three 12-hour shifts per week. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care during weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, medications, or just extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing!
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our 2 boisterous dogs! They were very happy to have her mid-day attention while we were out. She was always ontime and the photos she always sent left a smile on my face knowing they weren't home alone all day and stuck inside. We will definitely be calling her in the future. She is very trustworthy and kind. A real dog-lover, skilled at handling big, boisterous dogs.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have raised puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my elder dog, so I’m happy to spend time with yours. Looking forward to spending time, walking and playing with your dog, cat, kitten or puppy. I work part time so I’m very flexible and active! I am available to stay with your pet, and give them exercise and lots of attention needed to keep them happy! I am familiar with picky eaters and administering medication if needed.
“Emily was GREAT! She did a couple of check-ins/bathroom breaks with my senior dog, Lola, while I was away for the day. Her communication was great both before & during the visits & Lola was so well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching back out to Emily the next time I need pet care!”
“Hayley looked after our dog for a long weekend while we were away. She was fantastic! She did a great job writing updates and sharing photos, and also did a lovely job engaging with our neighbors! Thanks Hayley!”
“Lucas was great, talkative, and friendly. Asked all the right questions and sent us great photos of our cat. He made us super comfortable, and truly one of the best pet sitters we have had. We can’t wait to work with Lucas again, 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. Working in veterinary medicine has helped me stay calm, attentive and detail-oriented in fast-paced situations, while also teaching me how important patience and compassion are when caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved and stress-free while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of professional animal care experience, reliability, and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. On walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and positive interaction while paying close attention to each dog’s pace and needs. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Madalyn has been absolutely amazing, she has been very responsive and helpful with my dog's needs. She's also been very flexible with any changes. She's been very responsible and we're happy to continue using her services anytime we travel”
“Mary was great with Vortex and made sure he got his zoomies out. She kept us updated and sent pictures during the visit. He is a high-energy dog, but she handled him with ease.”
“Shannon is the best! We requested 3 visits a day and she was there like clockwork. Our dog was missing us and not eating very well at first and she took the extra step in encouraging her and got her to eat. Our dog loves her!”
“Georgia saved us when we needed a last minute sitter after our previously booked sitter cancelled morning of. She was quick to respond and was able to get to our house with only 1.5 hours notice. It seemed like our puppy had a good time with her and was well cared for during the hour drop in. Definitely will book again!”
“Megan has been amazing with our Daisy! I look forward each day for her pictures and comments that she leaves She has attention to every detail - bringing in packages and even the trash cans without being asked to She has stepped in to help on last minute notice when other pet sitter is not available She shows love and care for our Daisy- at times sitting next to her and reading her a story We’re very lucky to have Megan as our pet sitter”
“Michelle was wonderful with our last minute sitting needs. She came to meet us and our pup before we booked to make sure everyone was comfortable. She was very communicative during every visit to make us feel at ease.”
About: My names Mike and. I’ve been a dog walker/pet sitter, dog trainer, daycare worker and pet bather.

If you’re looking for an experienced and educated animal handler, I would be happy to care for your pet. Why me ? To me any pet in my care is automatically family.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Slocum
Emily was very kind and thorough in following my numerous asks and the cats seemed to take right to her. I have an easy younger male cat (Grey) and an older female cat with medication requirements. Emily ensured all meds were delivered (topical ear cream, two pills, and an oral liquid medication) and I couldn’t have felt more secure while I was away for the weekend!
I am so happy I found Emily! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a bit nervous leaving my dog and cat in the care of a new person. Emily was so kind, thoughtful, and caring from our first interaction over the phone, to our meet and greet, and throughout her visits with my pets! She was attentive to details and thorough in her visit notes and photos, which made me feel so at ease. We will definitely be booking Emily 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
