About: I've never been a professional pet sitter, but I've proudly been the go-to sitter for family and friends for as long as I can remember. From playful pups to senior sweethearts. I've always loved caring for animals of all kinds. And yes, I've even pet-sat hermit crabs. In fact, one cat-sitting job turned into a 12-year relationship with my late cat Kitty (I know..very creative). I treat every pet as my own and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. My goal is simply happy pets and happy owners. My current priorities are my education and my son. Outside of those responsibilities, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, loving care for your pets. My goal is to step in and make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I'll stick to their routine, give them plenty of attention, play, and affection, making sure they feel like they're spending time with a friend instead of a stranger. I'll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind.
“Allison has been a fantastic caregiver for our little Goldendoodle tornado. Her updates are always thorough, clear, and well-written. You can tell that she truly cares for the animals she watches by her attitude, knowledge, and the kindness in which she approaches every situation. We cannot recommend her high enough.”
About: Book with me. To ensure you have the best sitter for your pup, I provide a safe, warming, calm, fun environment when booked for an overnight stay at my place. Constant walks throughout the day. Always keep about two bowls of water around the house and provide daily morning exercise routines (my morning walks/jogs). I do recommend clients/parents to provide food and treats for dogs and keep me aware of any allergies or habits the pup has. I have no problem buying treats or toys as long as it’s okay with the client/parent. This also goes for traveling to clients/parents homes.
“Dominique was amazing with our cat who is not normally great with new people! In the past we had a bad experience with a different sitter, and Dominique was very reassuring that she would take very good care of our cat (which she did!) I would absolutely rebook her in the future!!”
“Jennifer is very professional, caring and responsible. She recently watched our dog for four days and did an excellent job making sure he was fed and got plenty of love. She also sent lots of pictures and updates which were nice:)”
“Kimberly is an awesome pet center. She took care of our cats for 3 1/2 weeks making sure they had food water and a clean litter box. She also did a few other things around our place. I would totally recommend her for your pet sitting services. She volunteered to vacuum and take out the trash and take out the trash even though that was not on our list of to do‘s.”
About: I dog sit two pets in my family, and I have since I was 12. I've owned a cat since I was 8 and since then got another one. Animals are very special to me, I love all animals no matter what they are. I work part time and I'm full time in college. However, I can easily make time for your pet. Their care is more important to me than anything. I no longer live with my cats, but visit them often. I'm very gentle with my cats, and try to play with them often. My cats are older, 9 and 10, so there's not much to do but cuddle and engage in simple play.
About: they are not pets to us, they need us, they need affection, they must be loved, and we can provide care and love, we are here for you. we have time on weekends to play, sleep, and walk; We work from Monday to Friday and we have free weekends, we love to take care of furry friends. We have the personal experience of 19 years, we are ready to tend to the needs that animals have. We are patient and careful, we are people with tremendous care.
“Megan was a great sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat. 🐈 she was always there when she was supposed to be and always sent plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell my cat was happy and being loved. 🥰 I will definitely be using Megan as my go to person and I will definitely recommend her.”
“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”
“Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We can't praise Mike enough for his incredible pet-sitting services! He has stayed over and also dropped in for visits. He has taken care of our three dogs and two cats flawlessly. Mike not only follows our instructions to the T, but also has a remarkable ability for understanding our pets' needs even without detailed guidance. It truly gives us peace of mind knowing our furry crew are in such capable hands. His warm and caring approach makes it clear that he genuinely loves animals, and our pets adore him! If you're looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter, we highly recommend Mike. You won't regret it!”
About: I am dog/cat CPR/FA certified and have provided many years of animal care, as well as always owning my own. I have experience training pups on tricks and potty training. I have also had experience with end of life pets providing comfort care and medication administration. I provide daily care for my animals at home! I work from home every day and I have a generally flexible schedule. I am able to walk away from my desk to help you care for your loved ones on short notice. I have a home with a fenced in yard and my two dogs and cat love to hang out in it! When caring for others pets, I will always do a walk around of the property to ensure it is safe for the pet to explore. I always prefer if the pet parent leaves me with a checklist or letter for their preferences and will follow this. I will always ask about allergies, triggers and history for the pet to ensure they are safe with me, other people, and another pets.
“Paige, I can’t thank you enough for scheduling on short notice. I feel like Reef misses his walks with you already. The service and care was amazing. I would recommend Paige to anyone looking at a sitter! Will be requesting you every time I’m away! Thanks again”
“Felix took great care of my cat while I was away! He was super reliable, had great communication, and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind. My cat seemed happy and well cared for when I got back. Would definitely book with Felix again!”
“Thank you so much! Nicholas went above and beyond for Harvey and even took him out to play with his favorite ball! Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again!”
About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

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.
