“First time using Rover and Lillie has been amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the care she has provided for our pups. From the start, she was professional, in constant communication and passionate. Lillie kept us updated with check in’s and pictures, which gave great peace of mind. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond, to take our packages in and left the house clean. I highly recommend Lillies services!”
“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, regularly assisting my mom with her own pet sitting jobs since I was about 14 years old and receiving my own clients when I became an adult. I have been employed at a local Animal Shelter since 2024, having gained lots of Fear Free handling and medicating experience with both dogs and cats. I also have 3 cats of my own and my roommate has 3 cats as well, with varying personalities/sensitivities. I have full availability on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, and work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday with a set schedule from 8am-6pm. I do get an hour lunch so I can also make a quick visit during that time. I've learned Fear Free handling methods from my workplace, regularly practicing patience and reading a pet's body language to understand when they start to become uncomfortable. I will adjust to your pet's needs to make this time as comfortable as I can.
“Greg is amazing! He was able to help us out last minute and our Kenzie loved him. He spent time with both my cat and dog and gave them cuddles and attention when we were away. Highly recommend him!”
“Brooke was amazing with our two cats. This is the first time in their 7 years that we returned home to cats who were happier than when we left. Seriously, happy. No stress in them at all upon our return. Thank you Brooke!!!”
“Highly recommend! During my trip, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. She went above and beyond by playing with my cats, keeping the litter box clean, and fed them appropriately. :)”
“Vanessa visited with my girls while I was away, and took the best care of them. They were instantly comfortable with her and Vanessa took care in giving them the attention and play time they need before their dinner, keeping them happy during a lonely time :) thank you Vanessa!”

“Miriam took Bully for short walk and visited with him on her visits. From the pics and videos Bully looked like he had a great time with her. I scheduled her to do the same visits 2 weeks from now.”

“Here’s a review for CJ’s Rover services: --- I cannot recommend CJ highly enough for her exceptional pet sitting services! We needed a last-minute drop-in visit for our dogs, Ozzie and Osito, and CJ stepped in seamlessly. From the very start, she was incredibly professional, kind, and communicative. Before we left, CJ made sure she had all the necessary information and even came for a meet and greet to ensure she was fully prepared. While we were away, she sent regular updates with pictures and texted to relay important information regarding our home and the security of our dogs. Her attention to detail and thoroughness gave us complete peace of mind. CJ is not only friendly but also extremely experienced and responsive. Her responsible nature was evident throughout the entire process. I would trust CJ anytime with my dogs and my home. She truly goes above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her outstanding care and dedication.”
About: Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve completed multiple courses focused on dog behavior, handling, and training techniques. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including timid cats, high-energy cats, seniors, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! I just moved to Albuquerque from Austin Texas and I am currently looking for jobs right now so I am available anytime for your pets needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone in both your home and with your pets. I care for my own senior cat with patience, consistency, and close attention to comfort and routine, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I always take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and needs. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, medication, feeding schedules, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I treat every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home and animals are being looked after responsibly and compassionately.
“Laurie was great with our dog. She was very attentive and made sure to keep us informed of everything that was going on during her visit visits. I would definitely use her again. Our dog is very timid and scared and she did everything she could to make sure he was comfortable while we were gone.”
About: I have provided care for cats and dogs for many years. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs that need more attention due to health issues. I will be available Monday-Friday, 9-5pm. I would love to hang out with your pets all day! I work from home so I can care for your animals during my work day. I will care for your animals, take them to the dog park, feed, water and even walk in the park. I have a small pool in my backyard for cooling off in the summer months.

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.
