“Erin is amazing and Atlas loves her! She is extremely receptive to requests and available when I need her. Having Erin check on Atlas makes leaving him less stressful since I know I can rely on her to take care of him as if he were her own! I would highly recommend her!!”
“We are very thankful to have found Shea to care for our pups while we are away! Having a high energy rescue pup we had been limited in our ability to do much traveling. Shea came for a meet and greet and after spending a short time with us we were all calm and comfortable. Shea has helped us several times and each time we have come back to a tidy home and happy, well-adjusted doggies! Thank you Shea.”
“Rachel did a couple last minute drop-ins for me and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet to meet my shy pup Kiva beforehand. Despite the meet & greet, Kiva was still wary and Rachel was very patient with her as Kiva got more comfortable. Thank you Rachel, I appreciate you!”
About: I've had 3 cats 2 dogs 2 horses and 3 rabbits in my life time, returning to my original passion for a career. Working towards animal rehab specialist to help pets return home after a serious injury. Dearly fond of my babies, and yours as well! I currently have a ton of free time, in the process of choosing my next steps and courses. Ready whenever you or your fur baby needs me! I will monitor your pets needs closely, as well as take potty samples, give medication and update photos as needed! Your baby is important to me, an eye will be kept on them at all times. If an accident happens I will clean it no issue. Time spent playing with them is important to me so they feel fully enriched as well as the perfect environment to rest while you're away. I'm entirely flexible to their needs.
“Ruby had another great span of days hanging with Hannah. Ruby and her cat siblings thought they were on vacation too and ransacked some treats. Hannah moved a chair to block them from further indulging and this helped us come home to less of a mess and having to deal with upset pet tummies.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and I care deeply about making sure animals in my care have a clean, safe environment where they can be happy & healthy! My pets are truly family members, and I know that others’ pets are the same for them. I’ve had experience dog-sitting for friends and family. I also have experience with medically complex pets, which included caring for them post-surgery, and administering medications for their entire lifetime. I’m very good at following instructions, and absolutely love being with any pet! I’m a teacher who doesn’t work in the summer. Until July 26th, I’m in a musical production and will have rehearsals from 5-9 Mon-Thurs in Ellington (with shows 7/17 & 7/24 at night and shows 7/18-19 & 7/25-26 in the early afternoon), but that is currently the only regular thing I am doing! I am experienced working with animals and know how to read their body language to determine what they may need or how they’re feeling. I’m experienced in attending to the needs of my own pets, and I am also very good at following directions left for me!
About: I’ve owned an assortment of animals from dogs & cats, to hamsters and birds. Currently I have a dog and two cats that mean the world to me. I enjoy caring for animals, either walking dogs, or scooping litter boxes. I retired early in 2020 due to the pandemic, and couldn’t think of anything I’d enjoy more than being with animals. I decided to give pet sitting a try, and I’m loving it. Let me spoil and care for your pet just like you do! I’m available on weekends and all holidays too. Currently I do not travel outside of Enfield. My pets are my routine! First thing in the morning they get their breakfast and treats before I scoop their litter boxes. Then it’s time to walk my pup, and start my day. Evenings are usually a repeat, just with more snuggles. All my pets are free to roam my 4 bedroom home. I have a completely fenced in yard on a quiet dead end street with only 6 houses. I am almost always home and love the company of animals. I will follow client rules in their homes.
“Jillian always takes such good care of our Peanut! She gives great updates and photos of our sweet girl when we are away and makes sure she is cared for, would recommend her highly to everyone!”
“Jessica was available last minute! She was able to let our pups out. She is every trustworthy and her and her husband are great!!! Would 100% recommend”
“Liz is absolutely FANTASTIC!! She is so great with our dog, and really cares about all animals as if they were her own! She’s the best, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”
“Alexandra was reliable and took great care in making sure the cats were taken care of as we discussed. She cleaned everything up nicely very communicative and again in a heartbeat! Thank you!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful, reliable and loves Max. We are fortunate to have her take care of Max when we have trips or to drop in and ck in him. We feel relaxed knowing she will be there with Max.”
“Lesa was great with my fur baby! We had a meet & greet and my dog took to her right away. This was our 1st time leaving our dog alone overnight & we were nervous. Lesa was great communicating with us & keeping us up to date with how she was doing & sending us pics. We will definitely have her look after our fur baby again!”
About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southwood Acres
Mark did an excellent job caring for our two cats. I appreciated his flexibility when I modified the listing. He also checked in to make sure everything was all set before we left for vacation. He sent photos in the app and played well with our kitties. Definitely recommend. Thanks so much!
Jaclyn is such a kind amazing person and I’m so glad we found her! She really made me feel that my fur babies were in the best hands. She was very detailed on everything. My cats warmed up very quickly to her! Overall just a great experience with her and was very communicative. She even came to my house to meet and understand the routine, pick up our garage button before we left for our trip and closed up the house each day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone! Thank you Jaclyn!
Aiden was wonderful! He completed a drop-in visits for my cat while I was away and provided excellent care. My cat has special needs and requires both oral medication and an inhaler, and Aiden picked up the routine quickly and handled it with ease. I would recommend Aiden and would book with him again!
Brittany’s amazing and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great care! She took the time to go out of her way and stop over for a meet and greet before we left which made me feel at ease. Great communication and sent pictures of our cats snuggling up. One of my cats is shy to warm up to new people but she truly is an animal whisperer and he was laying down right by her feet the second he met her! Thanks Brittany!
Samantha was AMAZING! She sent photos and checked in each AM and PM when she came to feed our cats. We came home and they were happy and well fed, and their eating area and litter boxes were both clean and well kept. We recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter that provides peace of mind!

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.
