“We were very pleased with Chynna and will definitely use her again. You can tell she has a genuine love for animals and I think she’s our dog’s new bff. In fact, she is a literal life saver. We went out of town during unusually cold temperatures. Our original plan was to have my elderly parents do drop-ins but they couldn’t with the frigid temps. Chyna accepted our last minute request which also happened to fall during the Christmas holidays. We didn’t have to worry about our dog being out in the cold and she even helped open some cabinet doors to prevent freezing when we forgot. Her communication was awesome and we especially enjoyed seeing pics and reading updates. Our dog is not typically an indoor dog but you could never tell the way she kept the area clean.”

Both of us got along great. Hannah is very good with communicating to me anything about my bunny boy. Loved the pictures she took and the comments she left! Will be booking with Hannah in the future!”

I am looking for a part-time job as well, but would like to keep pet care as a top priority. I currently do not have a proper fenced in area and would prefer not to have larger breeds until then.

“Sophie is wonderful! She is very organized, patient, and a great communicator. She took care of my 3 cats, all with different temperaments. She made sure they had food, water, treats, a clean litter box, and played with them. 10/10 would hire again and would reccomend.”
About: I've taken care of pets as long as I can remember! I've always been a pets owner myself, but have also fostered dogs for friends, pet sit for family and friends, and fostered cats for local non-profit organizations throughout my adult life. Some of those animals have had special medical needs, as well. I have open availability to care for your pet and keep you updated along the way! No schedule restrictions means your pets gets care any time of day or night! I have over an acre of open area for walks and an open to pets environment inside my home, but can also offer crate care, if needed for less social dogs.
About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. From age 18 to present day I’ve always had a dog so I am well adverse in reading their body language and understanding their needs. I have a job that allows me to customize my schedule so I am capable of making a schedule to fit your animals needs whether it be day or night! Personally I feed my dog according to his feeding schedule and look for signs that he needs to go outside to use the bathroom. If your dog or cat requires a specific diet and time for feeding, I’ll be more than happy to follow the guidelines that you have set to ensure your animals are happy and healthy. As far as potty breaks go, I will use a leash for your dog if there’s not a gated area for them to use the bathroom, if they use pee-pads or litter I have no problem handling that either.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Smithville
I couldn't be happier with the care my cat, Rocki, received from Nina!! I felt completely at ease knowing Rocki was in such capable hands, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Nina provided daily updates with adorable pictures and thoughtful messages, making it clear that Rocki was genuinely being cared for. I will definitely be using Nina in the future!! Thank you so much Nina!

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.

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.
