“Debbie did a great job taking care of my three cats when I was on vacation. She kept the food bowls and water bowls full and cleaned the three litter boxes. She sent photos of my cats along with any updates. She was very professional. I also asked her to bring in my trash cans from the street and any packages on the front porch, which she did. I recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Kaleigh fulfilled all requests in a timely and efficient manner. She made it possible for me to feel at ease about my cat while being away from home (not an easy task). I hope she is available for future travel plans!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets and have continuined the tradition in my own home. The last few years since becoming a remote worker, I have been pet sitting in clients homes administering simple meds and taking general care of their cats and dogs (often both). Edited: if Rover is not showing your total before booking, let me know and I will send you the total amount! My rates are 38/dog and 27/cat. If my rates are showing differently, it is because rover tags on an extra 20-30%, which is the percent they take from you. This is on top of the 20% they keep from the amount that I collect at the end of my stay. Full transparency is key. If a discount is needed, please send the request and we can work something out! I work remote, so there aren't too many obstacles in the way of scheduling. I typically have plans throughout the week, often around 2-4 hours total, that would take me out of the home. Otherwise, I'll be in the home taking care of your pet. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping them on their usual schedule. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love while respecting your space.
About: Animal Lover and Canine Extraordinaire Hi, my name is Chasity Huff, and I am currently living in Terre Haute, IN. I am from Northwest Indiana, and I have a huge passion for animals. I am working toward becoming a vet assistant. I have worked at a vet hospital and at a horse stable. I get along with all animals big or small. It would be my privilege to take care of your precious pets for you and spoil them with love and affection. I walk big or small dogs. So give me a call or text, and let me take care of your awesome pets. :) I work my night job through Monday through Friday and every other weekend at 3pm to 11:30. If this is not a good time please let me know. My apartment doesn't allow pets, but I grew up always having dogs and miss my fur babies. Cocoa, my german shepherd-black lab mix passed away at the age of 15 in 2018. We grew up together. My chihuahua-beagle mix lives with my dad. She is a shy pup and lovely to snuggle with. When visiting my dad, I enjoy walking her all over the neighborhood. But today I have to settle for taking care of my plants, so I would love to hang out with your furry friend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
