“Denver is a responsible pet caregiver. He was prompt every morning and evening. He kept me up to date on Maizey’s visits. If he is not sure of something he is not afraid to message you for clarification. He took good care of my furbaby and I would definitely use him again.”
“Jenni was a pleasure to work with and I trusted that our boys were in good hands. She communicated well and sent lovely picture updates of each cat throughout the whole process. Highly recommend and we would love to work with her again! :)”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I graduated Austin Peay with a Bachelor’s in Agriculture and concentrated in Veterinary Technology. While I was in school, I worked at a boarding facility and daycare. I worked in an animal hospital for over 3 years until I had my son in November. I stay home with my son now as a full time mom. My veterinary experience allows me to administer medication, provide extraordinary care, and give lots of love! I currently am a stay at home mom to my son who was born in November! Our days are open and willing to help out families with their fur babies! I have 4 dogs of my own- 2 senior small girls, a senior lab (though she doesn’t act like it), and a middle aged silly boy! They are all friendly and welcoming to any animal in our home. I do have an unfenced yard but do have runners and will leash walk all animals in my yard. I am able to crate any animal if necessary.
“My experience with Robyn was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my cat. She went above and beyond in the time she spent checking on my kitty and sent me the BEST pictures. I will definitely use Robyn again the next time I am out of town and could not recommend her enough.”
“Lee Marie was great! The cats took to her and for one of them, that is a miracle. Great communication and we definitely recommend her as she will be our go-to for our next trip! Thanks!”
“Nick is the best! I completely trust him in my home and with my dog! He is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much experience. It’s important to me that while I’m at work on a long day that by baby is getting some love and getting to go outside and Nick is there to make sure she has food and water. It gives me peace of mind and I wouldn’t get that with just anyone! I absolutely recommend Nick ! He is an overall great guy who is very trust worthy. Finding the right fit for me and my dog was stressful but Nick made it easy :) Thanks Nick!”
“Rachael took excellent care of our cat, Murphy, while we were out of town. He is typically shy with new people but eventually became comfortable enough to come out and say hello. Rachael provided daily updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind and were greatly appreciated! We would happily recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Cassie took great care of my senior cat during a family trip, keeping me posted on her food intake and litter habits, giving her lots of attention and affection, and sending daily pictures. I’ll definitely book with her on future trips.”
“Wonderful Jessica. You were communicating daily, cats were fine when I returned. Jessica sent photos with notes. Very professional. Will definitely use Rover again. We have used them in the past and we’re just as satisfied as before. Thank you Jessica and Rover. Harriet”
“Hannah is great! She’s taken care of my cat a couple of times and I always look forward to her daily updates and pictures. It’s hard leaving a pet in someone else’s care but with Hannah I always know my fur baby is in good hands!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 6 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I currently care for pets of my own and have also volunteered with animals through community service. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and following specific care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I do every day. I work part-time on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but I am available before and after work on those days. I have more flexibility on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-in visits, and extended pet care. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide a calm, loving environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I also can provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Renee was a dream come true when I needed help to drop in on my 3 cats twice a day while away. I'd never considered a pet sitter before, having relied on random people to assist. She made friends with all of them and they weren't anxious or distressed when I came home. I appreciate her genuine love for animals and her natural knack for knowing how to interact with them. She has a real heart for caring for animals, that's the greatest thing anyone could ask for. Thank you Renee, the cats are happy to have me home but I think they're wondering where you are too ❤️.”
About: We’ve always had pets since I was little. I love animals and can’t wait to welcome your pet to our home for visiting and a fun little day trip or staycation. My children love helping with our furry friends getting exercise too. We’ll be sure they get some R & R too! Feel free to reach out and we’ll discuss needs personally as each pet is different. Typically I’m able to accommodate any needs for you and your pet. Feel free to reach out and we’ll discuss needs personally as each pet is different.

About: I have been dog sitting for 10 years. Not only will they get a walk or visit but they will also receive a belly rub and play time. I am currently available everyday for the next couple weeks and then I will be available 4 days a week. Once I start work again my days vary from each week. Dog walking is a passion because I love walking and will gladly have a little companion walk beside me. I will take great care of your best friend and make sure he is well exercised. If your dog is learning commands I will uphold them and practice the tricks with him or her. Message me to find out more information and hopefully I see you soon! I have and open schedule during the week Monday through Thursday and would love to fill my time visiting you cat or dog or taking your dog on a walk. Walks are very enjoyable for me, especially with a companion. I ensure that dogs are safe on their walks. They will walk on the side furthest from the road and always remain on leash during walks. I will also make sure that their immediate environment is free from choking hazards.

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.

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.

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 .

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.
