About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!
“This is our second time working with Lydia, and she was wonderful once again. She is very communicative throughout the week, and really looks after our cats as well as our house (bringing in packages, cleaning up messes when needed, etc.). I would 100% book with her again.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! I have two cats that she kept and eye on while on vacation, with one of them that requires daily shots. My parents are the only ones that ever watch the kitties, but we’re joining us on our vacation. I was super nervous to leave them given the needs of one of my girls. Jennifer had knowledge of how to administer the shots and after meeting Jennifer I knew I had picked the right person. Jennifer did a great job of keeping me updated and helped with any anxiety I may have had with leaving them behind. I will definitely be reaching out to Jennifer in the future when I am in need of a sitter.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth! She watched my three dogs over the weekend—including my puppy—and took amazing care of them. She was kind, reliable, and clearly experienced. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy can be a handful, but she was so patient and attentive, and all three of my dogs absolutely loved her. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and will be booking her again.”
“Juliet has lifted weight off our shoulders! She has watched our cats multiple times while we’ve been out of town and has provided them with wonderful care. She is great with communication/ keeping us updated. Our cats never seem stressed when we return home.”
About: I worked at a cat cafe for 4 years, and have been working at a small-animal veterinary clinic for the past 2 years. I’ve provided pet sitting many times over the last 6 years, and am currently working towards my master’s degree in animal science and behavior. I’m well-rounded in proper animal husbandry, medication administration— from pills to insulin injections— nutrition, and animal behavior. My goal is to eventually become certified for training, but I do already know basic behavior modification techniques. I’m regularly taking care of animals, from my personal pet to the animals at my veterinary job. I love and treat every animal like they’re my own, yours included! I am very patient when it comes to animals. If your cat is slow to warm up to me, I will give them their space and wait for them to come to me for pets and play. If your dog is wanting to take their time to smell around outside, I will give them that sensory enrichment. I am an advocate for animal welfare, so I will ensure your pet is as happy as possible while you’re gone!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and when I started living on my own I realized they’re more important than I ever realized. I have a rescue pup who is very nervous but sweet. I am a graduate student in the home stretch of my degree, and I can use the money and the reason to get out of the house. I have a fenced in yard and a crate trained dog. I’m always good about on time flea/tick/heartworm and yearly vaccinations, as well as being educated in dog distress signs and illness signs.
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
About: I've primarily cared for dogs, including puppies and seniors, but I also have experience with cats, and small rodents. My dog is 17 years old, so I am very familiar with working with senior animals. I love all animals, and I will take great care of your pet! I'm a student looking for some work over the summer. I can do walks and pet sitting every day of the week, with a day's notice for walks and a week's notice for pet sitting. To ensure the safety of the pets I am caring for, I make sure to follow all of the instructions left by the pet's parent. When out on walks, I stay very aware of both the pet's behavior and our environment to make sure that our walks are safe.
About: I have had cats throughout my 25 years of life. My family got their first dog in 2015; however, my grandparents have had dogs since 2012. I have given dogs and cats baths; as well as clipped their nails. I have dog sat for two family's for about 6 years. While I am not a certified trainer, I have taught my family dog to sit, stay/wait, lay down, touch my hand on command, and even to press buttons! I have open availability Monday through Fridays. On the weekends I run my own business and will have limited availability but will accept offers as they come. On Sundays, I volunteer at a cat rescue in the mornings. I treat all pets with caution, I do not want to make them uncomfortable! I let the animal approach me first. If the animal appears to be uncomfortable but gentle, I will sit on the floor at their level and allow them to smell me first.
“Marilyn did a great job doing drop-in visits for our dogs for a week. She was very responsive and took good care of them, sending lots of pictures and videos to us as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a babe! Watching everything from chickens, pit bulls, Great Danes, horses. You name it!! I have all the love to give 💕 I work Monday-Thursday 8-5. I’m up at 6 so plenty of time for potty, food, and cuddles! Then after I love going on walks in my neighborhood!! I have a fenced in yard and sun room ✨ I have a large fenced in shaded yard that is mostly private! My neighbors are all friendly and have dogs of their own in fenced yards! Plenty of space for fetch and a neighborhood to go on walks in! If you have a list of specifics you would like to provide me with such as feeding time and walk times I would love that information!
About: Having been around a variety of animals for my entire life I appreciate the joy and place they hold in their family’s lives. My own soul dog (Sheltie named Finn) passed away in 2025 and he is dearly missed. Though he is gone, my love of animals has never changed. These days I paint animal portraits for shelter donations, care for the pets of family/friends, and now I serve to help those seeking an aid for their furry family member. Every family deserves to know their animal(s) are being cared for with the utmost respect. That is the level of responsibility I take when I will accompany your pet on a walk or to check on them during the day. There is also plenty of room for play and affection! They are your family and deserve to be treated as such. I am currently working part-time weekdays until 2 pm. After work, I am available to assist in the care of animals by walking or checking on their welfare. The first thing I do when arriving is ensure that all animals within the home are well by observing them. Once that is assured, I take the time to let them adjust to my presence by allowing them to meet me on their terms. Afterwards, I ensure water bowls are changed or topped off, litter boxes are emptied if needed, and prepare any dogs for their walks.
About: I am a lifetime animal lover. I currently have a Rottweiler, and a shepherd mix. I also have two cats, one is part Maine coone and the other is a Manx. I love interacting with cats and dogs and would love to help take care of them for you. I have experience with providing medicine and wound care to animals as well as bathing and trimming nails with the ones that cooperate. 🙂 I currently work full time 7:30-4. My children are also very active so I can tend to be busy certain times of the year. But when I am available I would be able to stop by or take your dog for a walk during the week. I like to make sure all pets are taken care of and loved. I like to treat my pets as a part of the family and not just an animal.
“It was so evident how much Angela cared for our Boomer. She communicated so well and took time to play with and show him affection. We highly recommend and will reach out to her for future pet care.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Smith Valley
Julia is very friendly and professional. She will also give the effort for the more challenging tasks. In my case, she was able to get my cat to take his pill medicine which can be difficult at times. Further, she follows directions well without the need to repeat. Was great to work with her.
Jennifer took great care of my cat Leo by doing dropnin visits everyday for 10 days. In terms of communication, she sent a report card everyday sending me pictures of my cat along with any update on low food, water or litter. She responded to my texts or updates whenever needed promptly. In terms of reliability, she arrived at the prescribed time. She kept me updated if she was going to be a few minutes late due to weather. In terms of cleanliness, all the items in my house were kept as they were when I left and the cat treats, food were kept in the same spot. No complaints there. Overall, very communicative and friendly towards my cat. My cat who is a bit shy to strangers, soon warmed up to Jennifer within a day. Definitely recommend Jennifer!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
