“Every time I book Emily to care for our cat and/or dog, I know our pets will be in the best hands. This time, we booked Emily to stop in and care for our cat - and give her lots of love - while we were away. Emily sent us a really nice Rover card with a detailed summary of her visit with our cat and a bunch of photos. She made sure that our cat was safe and had everything she needed. Emily is always super respectful of our home and our animals and it’s such a comfort to us to receive her updates - we’re so lucky we found her on Rover! We very happily rebooked Emily and will do so again. I highly recommend her to others. Thank you, Emily!”
About: Family friends have trusted me to care for their pets for years. I have a strong repeat client base I've cultivated over time through word-of-mouth referrals. I have cared for senior dogs, multiple dogs, cats, and even goats! I love spending time with all pets, big and small. They will be well cared for. At this time, I only offer house sitting. I am clean and respectful. In college, I worked for a local house cleaning company and will always leave your house as clean as when I arrived (if not cleaner!). I will water your plants, take care of your mail and watch after your home while you are away. I also work an in-office job. The office allows dogs and there are usually two others present. I currently work in a dog-friendly office. Usually, there are two other dogs present, a golden doodle and a cavalier. Both are friendly and your dog would be more than welcome to join me during my work hours. I am fully available on evenings and weekends as well. I currently only offer pet sitting in the pet's home. I am a respectful and discreet housesitter who has also years of experience as a house cleaner.
“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.”
“Hannah helped us out agreeing to a drop-in visit on short notice. She did a great job tending to our 10 ½ yr. old chocolate lab, fed him, gave him his medications, walked and played with him and sent photos during her visit. We were pleased and appreciative of her help and would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for my own pets and pets of neighbors, family, friends, and other clients! I have cared for all breeds, sizes, and ages including those with special care needs. You can rely on me to be communicative, loving, attentive, and trustworthy with your furry family member! Graduate school is my main focus but offers me flexibility to drop-in on or walk your pet after 3pm on MT/ThF, anytime on Wednesdays, and anytime on weekends. I am committed to caring for your pet in the way that works for you! I can be flexible and follow instructions to provide the best service to you and your pet.
“I can’t say enough positive things about Hayley. She is amazing. She took such excellent care of our kitties. Her communication with us was excellent, we felt so secure having her care for our pets. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’m an Animal Science (Pre-Vet) student with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, horses, and other animals through veterinary, grooming, farm, and shelter work. I’ve worked in a feline animal hospital and have experience with low stress handling, feeding routines, medication support, bathing, enrichment, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. What sets me apart is that I combine real animal care experience with a fun, patient, and reliable personality. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. As a college student studying Animal Science (Pre-Vet), I love spending my free time around animals and can dedicate plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care to pets throughout the day. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can adjust to different pets’ routines and needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and clean living areas. In my home, while I don’t have a backyard, I live in a safe neighborhood and make up for it with long walks, exercise, and lots of attention and enrichment. I pay close attention to animal behavior and body language so I can recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and help pets feel relaxed and loved!
“Paloma was available on short notice for an evening drop-in visit and even called ahead to ensure proper care instructions were followed. She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!”
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.
“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.”
“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”
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.
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs throughout most of my life and two cats my entire life. I’ve recently dog sat for two amazing yellow labs for a whole week. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbors dogs on multiple occasions as well. I am a full time college student who has classes all day Tuesdays and Thursdays but am free during evenings and Monday Wednesday Fridays as well as most weekends. I currently have two cats I feed twice a day but when I had dogs I would walk them in the mornings before school, when I got home from school, as well as before I went to bed.

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 .

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 .

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.
