“Lindsey was a great babysitter for our Poppy! She checked in each day and sent pics/videos. I felt at ease knowing our kitty was getting attention and love while we were away. Thank you!”
About: Hi, my name is Sarah -- I am 28 and grew up in Virginia with dogs and horses my whole life, and as such, have been sitting for friends' and family's animals (and kids!) since high school. Upon leaving Virginia, I missed having pets of my own, so always love the opportunity to take care of others' fur friends when they need. I work fully remotely, so while I cannot board at my place, I am easily able to stay at yours for in-house pet sitting, as well as come for as many drop-ins, or take your dog(s) out for as many walks as they want, throughout the day! I have experience watching all sizes of dogs, and up to as many as four (large!) dogs of all ages (plus some cats) at once, so I am likely to be comfortable with whatever combination you have in your home! I work fully remotely, so can pretty much make any pet care routine work into my schedule, dependent on your needs for your fur friends! I adapt to any set of needs or circumstances since each dog is different and has their own likes and dislikes, especially when it comes to their parents being away or interacting with new people.
About: I've had my own dogs and have taken care of other dogs for many years - puppies & dogs of all ages and personalities. I can take care of your dog for a short visit or an extended period. I'm retired and I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog(s). If they are active, I can also run with them. I take dogs on lots of long walks, plus playtime and cuddling. I have plenty of room in a dog friendly house with covered furniture. I have a crate big enough for a 50 lb dog if your dog is used to a crate for naps, etc.
“Rose was wonderful and took care of my reactive pup Gus over Thanksgiving! Highly recommend - glad we found our go-to person to help with him when we’re in the outer banks.”
“I did not want to leave my soul puppy in the care of anyone, but I needed to attend my daughter's wedding and was too far away for personal check-ins throughout the evening. My baby girl was diagnosed with bone cancer 6 months ago and given 3 - 6 months to live, so basically, I never want to leave her except for absolute necessities. This was one of those times. Hannah answered my request for two 60-min drop in visits. But before the day of visits, she took the time to stop by to meet Oakley and to understand her needs. Hannah was caring, attentive, patient, friendly, and updated me during her visits with Oakley with reports and pics. Hannah was the next best thing to having Oakley attend the wedding & reception with me.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old. Including puppies and rescuing senior dogs. Some of the senior dogs were at the end of their life so I understand the need for compassion and care.

I’ve been dog sitting for at least ten years. Including extended stays at my residence. I’m currently a part time worker, looking for something to fill my extra time. So I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always ready for some extra dog time. My goal is to always put your pets need first. Including any care they need. Including cleaning up after them and any extra medications they may need. Also adding comfort and safety in stressful situations.
About: From middle to high school I assisted my neighbor with her animal shelter where she housed dogs, birds, cats, and horses. Working there and working on the family farm has given me lots of experiencing with bathing and giving oral prescriptions to pets. I’ve always grown up with pets and am a very reliable person.

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.
