“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”

“Kim met with us prior to needing to do a drop in. She became familiar with our cats and their special needs. Later, She was on time for each drop in. She administered medication to one of our cats and made certain all were fed and happy. She spent time with the cats. Kim sent us photos of our cats and a summary of her visit - both of which made us feel the cats were in good hands. She took great care of the cats! We are again utilizing Kim’s skill. We know our cats are in good hands.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I have been walking an awesome dog almost daily, he is a very energetic and adorable 8 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue mix named Chewy and I have loved every minute. He has taught me how important it is that dogs get their daily walks and experience adventure! Looking to help other pet owners give their dog a hopeful moment in their day by getting outside - rain or shine! I’m currently working part-time, and I am incredibly flexible. I have a very reliable, pet friendly, Subaru that can drive in any weather. I am the type of person that you can text me an hour before and I will be there! Always happy to help in a pinch. I respect all spaces and homes the same. I understand owning pets can be messy and I’m not afraid to step up and help calm the storm however I can. I do not mind showing up to a home to help care for a pet, happy to help in any way I can!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for 5 years, and I’ve loved every moment of it! :) I first started pet sitting during the summers while I was in college and have continued ever since, including after completing my undergrad last year. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. My most regular client is a big, sweet Pitbull, so I’m very comfortable and confident caring for larger pups! I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills and insulin. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that I bond easily with just about every pet I care for. I take pride in providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for your fur babies and I absolutely love sending lots of photos and updates along the way! I’m currently working part-time, so I’m typically available anytime after 1 PM Monday–Friday. I’m also available on weekends as needed! I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible :) I have years of experience caring for pets and making their safety my top priority! I believe the best way to keep every pet happy and safe is to carefully review each owner’s instructions and reach out with any questions or concerns. Clear communication is always key, and I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands :)

No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me.

I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.

About: I’m 33 years old and originally from Austria, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up around pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are in their care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, and play. I stay organized and flexible to meet each pet’s needs consistently. In my client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, while keeping their space clean and tidy.

About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.

“After another sitter canceled our booking at the last minute, we needed someone to house-sit within a day or two, and Alexandra came to the rescue! She took wonderful care of our cats for nine days and kept us updated throughout our trip. The photos she sent gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Alexandra again!”

About: I have had a multitude of dogs, big and small since I was a younger with different personalities. Currently working from home, doing Rover as a side hustle. I have been loving watching peoples pets as I don’t have any pets in my apartment right now so I love spending time and playing with your animals! You set the rules and I follow them, whatever makes you and your pet comfortable I am happy to do. Also, I'm open to doing a meet and greet prior to taking care of your fur baby if that makes you more comfortable! I work a hybrid job, my schedule is 9-5. However, I can be fully remote if need be! Very flexible work schedule, which allows me to go on long walks if your dog likes an adventure :). I can crate your dog if needed, but if not they are to roam my apartment! If you prefer me to be dog sitting at your home, I will abide by any specifications you give. I’ve never owned a cat, but my partner has one, and I’ve spent more time with cats over the last decade through friends as well! I’m experienced in play based activities if your cat likes that, I’ve walked some cats before; I know not all love ;). I also do some drop ins for some people in my building and mainly focus on cat enrichment. Happy to hop on a call to discuss any questions! As I’m currently working from home and my hybrid schedule is pretty lax I can be away from my laptop whenever it works for me. Makes going out on a walk and playing with your pet(s) super easy. Doing drop ins/boarding also is very easy with my schedule. I live in an apartment in a pet friendly building. All animals are allowed on furniture; if that is something you don’t want your fur babies to be in the habit of I can work with any rules you have. If your dog isn’t good around other dogs I’m happy to take precautions!

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

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 , 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.
