“This was the second time we've booked Sammi for drop-in visits with out two cats. Everything went as expected. Sammi is prompt and patient which is important with one of our cats needing medication. She also provides great communication and photos which makes it easier being away from my two babies. We will be using Sammi again in the future.”
“We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and kept us updated the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.”
“I was very happy with the experience! She was kind, communicative, and took good care of my pup. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💕”
“Skylar was excellent. She spent extra time with our Ki when he wasn’t feeling well and offered to take him wherever we needed him to go for medical care. Ki is an elderly pup and knowing that Skyler was visiting and caring for him helped us enjoy our family trip. We highly recommend Skylar, and we are beyond grateful for her caring personality.”
“Alaska helped from the beginning when I was confused entering the dates I needed for my cats. She was very reliable taking care of my three cats, even with a snowstorm changing her schedule. I received daily reports and pictures of Buster, Mr. Friendly. No sightings of Spots, but I warned her of that. They were cared for, well fed, and scooped up after, and unfortunately had to have some barf cleaned off the floor. Thanks for taking good care of the cats.”
“McKenzie took wonderful care of our dog Nala while we were away for the weekend. She communicates well, responds quickly, and sends lots of pictures. Absolutely will be booking with her again for our further trips. You can trust that your fur babies are in excellent hands with her!!”
“Alicia was AMAZING with my pups again! Always on time & always does fantastic with them. If anything out of the ordinary happens or if she has any questions or concerns she’s quick to message & respond. Thank you so much!!”
About: Hi, I grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. When I was younger it was commonplace that any dog that needed a home in our town my family would take in and care for. I have since moved out and have 2 cats but no dogs because of my living situation. I’m in school for psychology, headed to WVU college of Law next year. I love dogs and cats and would love to help out a fellow animal lover! I am empathetic, caring, responsible, and great at time management. I am doing this to make money to put towards Law School. My weekends are normally spent in my hometown visiting family as I have quite a few elderly relatives still living there. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have class from 3:30-4:15pm. Tuesday and Thursdays from 9:30-11:15am. Other than those times, I am available during the week for a pop in or a walk or just some quality time/a new face! I don’t intend to bring any of the animals to my home unless it would be just a walk by outside. Because as I’ve mentioned, I have 2 cats and wouldn’t want to risk anything by exposure of anything to them or your baby even though mine are fully vaxed.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have grown up with both cats and dogs. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs for many years. I am willing to spend extra time with your furry friends as needed, along with sending updates and pictures. I am reliable and responsible. I am currently in graduate school and working, I have full days from 8am-8pm on Monday and Tuesdays, I am available Wednesdays before 9 am and after 12 pm. I am available Thursdays and Fridays before 8:30, from 12-1pm, and after 3:30 pm. My weekend schedule is flexible and am able to take care of your animals on both the weekdays and weekends. I am able and willing to stay at your home with your animal. I currently live in a small apartment with two cats and would be unable to house dogs. I am able to give medication/put on a harness/crate dogs as needed. I am super flexible and adaptable :-).
“We booked xinyi last minute- she took the effort and time to come meet Maxwell the night before anyway and made both of our pets so comfortable right off the bat. We will definitely book again!”
“Savannah was a wonderful and attentive sitter, and we’ll definitely request her help again in the future! Both of our dogs have their quirks, and Savannah was incredibly understanding, following all our guidelines perfectly. We couldn’t be happier to have found Savannah. Thank you!”
“I had a great experience with her as Bobby’s sitter. She was thorough, attentive, and followed all of my care instructions. It was clear that she genuinely understands cats and their behavior. Bobby approached her almost immediately and quickly took a liking to her. He loved playing with her, and I really appreciated that she spent quality time keeping him company during each visit. Knowing he was getting attention and interaction—not just food and litter care—gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She also went above and beyond by helping feed the feral cat that regularly visits my front door, which I really appreciated. After every visit, she left detailed notes and updates in the Rover app, so I always knew how Bobby was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable cat sitter.”
“Arabella was great! She was conveniently close to where I lived and was amazing with my pup Leo. She also was helpful and willing to clean his crate out when he had accidents. I know that’s expected/part of the job but still can not be fun obviously.”
“Juliana is great with my two dogs! She is communicative, punctual and easy to work with. She gives my dogs enough potty time and is winning over my anxious dog when she checks in on her and gives her treats. So happy to have her drop in throughout the week when I am at work!”
“Amanda took wonderful care of our cat while we gone on an overnight trip. She showered Abby with love and the best of care. I would have Amanda again in a heartbeat when we need pet care.”
“Taylor was amazing with my two dogs, Lucy and Mia. She was very in tune with their needs and recognized when Mia was feeling anxious and immediately let me know that Mia was a bit stressed out. She did an amazing job. I highly recommend her!”
“Kiersten was reliable and had great communication while she watched our cats for the weekend! She even cleaned up the watermelon that exploded on our kitchen counter—ahhhh thanks, Kiersten! 😅 Would definitely hire again.”

Mikayla did a great job taking care of our dogs. We have 2 very different breeds with different needs a d Mikayla took care of them so well. I had complete peace of mind with her thorough drop ins. We are from out of town, but I will recommend her to anyone in the Morgantown, WV area. Our dogs were so happy with her, and so were we. I will 100% use her again if/when we return to the area.
Stephanie was very helpful during a personal emergency when I needed to find pet sitter last minute. She was able to medicated my cat with ease and I appreciate that she spent quality time with each of cats even when she only needed to give one of them medication.

Anna has consistently demonstrated not only her passion but her love for caring with every interactions with Holly. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind human being to care for my little girl. Thank you for being flexible and communicating with me — I appreciate you greatly!
Katy is professional, knowledgeable and dependable. She always does a great job handling our 3 cats. She is able to meet them at their various social levels from super friendly youngster, to mostly friendly teen to our older "seen it all and not impressed" cat.
Abby was incredibly sweet and communicated very well throughout the entire experience. She was wonderful with our older girl, Willow, and even sent us a picture to keep us updated, which I really appreciated since I tend to worry. We highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
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 .
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.
