“Had to go out of town last minute and Callie stepped up to help out with our three dogs. Being retired, they’re used to someone being home all day. Great piece of mind to have a person stop in to break up their day inside and go outside for a short period.”
About: With my experience working at a Doggy Daycare for the past two and a half years, I have taken care of wide variety of breeds ranging from puppies to senior dogs, and I would love to care for your pup too! I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty open and flexible, especially during weekdays and particularly in the afternoons! I will be available every other weekend. As a guest entering my client's home, I will respect the privacy of their home and the boundaries of the dog. I will complete tasks as preferred or directed by the owner.
“I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone new but Rebekah put me at ease. She took tones of pictures (that are wonderful!) and really seemed to show him a lot of care and walking him abit. Way above my expectations! (And my puppy’s!)🦮🦴🐾”
“Britney took very good care of my kitty while I was gone. My cat is very skittish when it comes to new people, so she tends to hide. Britney went the extra mile to make sure she atleast heard her in the house. She also made sure she had food, water and cleaned her kitty box. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Tara did an amazing job caring for my two kitties while I was away for a week. She was very attentive and although they’re both usually very shy towards new people, they both warmed up to her and became pals. I am very grateful to have found her through Rover and would recommend her to anyone that has cats with FLUTD and are hesitant to leave them while away. She monitored their litter without me really telling her so and demonstrated her knowledge and love for animals throughout the entire week she watched them. Thank you Tara!”
“Lexi has consistently been great. This time we had an emergency come up and needed her to stay longer, she was so flexible and easy to work with. Always sends lots of pics and does great.”
“I was really anxious about leaving my new dog home alone all day while I was at work. Jaide was amazing and took such good care of her! She was so considerate and thoughtful. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I definitely realize the importance of having a trusted caretaker for people’s pets and I want to do that for others! I have worked at a Vet clinic for 3 years and am currently a Vet Tech. I have Pet sat since I could drive, and also have 3 of my own dogs. I am also about to be in a pre-vet major at Mississippi State University. I work 30 hours a week at a vet clinic in Germantown. I also dog sit all the time around my area. I am taking all the experience I can get in order to get into vet school. I am a very safe, careful, and trusting person. I make sure your pet is cared for and feels extremely loved. There is nothing that I love more than caring for pets.
About: I have volunteered at local animal shelters for over seven years. I’ve also adopted my fair share of furry friends! No animal is a stranger to me and I promise to love yours like my own! I work from home and love an excuse to get out of the house. Therefore my schedule is usually wide open to take care of your pets when you can’t! I treat every animal like they’re family—because they are. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and as relaxed as possible while you're away. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers couch snuggles and lazy strolls, I’ll match their vibe. I am very detail oriented and will make sure you pet gets exactly what they need! For cats, I understand they run the show. I let them take the lead and respect any and all boundaries!
About: I’ve loved and have been taken care of animals since I was a kid. Also I am currently attending school to specialize in animals behavior. I am currently working a part time job, so I have more than enough time on my hands to fit pet sitting in my schedule. I am very attentive to the pets at all time. I also make sure that anything that could possibly harm them isn’t in their vicinity.
About: I've been caring for pets on and off since 2018 and have years of experience providing dependable, loving care. In addition to pet sitting, I've worked as a nanny since 2019, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, communication skills, and ability to care for others with patience and attention to detail. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from tiny Yorkies and French Bulldogs to Great Danes and Labrador Retrievers. At home, I have four dogs, so I'm very comfortable managing multiple pets and understanding their individual personalities and needs. I'm also experienced with senior dogs and pets with medical needs, including administering medications, helping dogs with limited mobility, and caring for paralyzed dogs. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'll treat them like they're my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable care, regular updates, and lots of love and attention for your furry family member. As a full-time college student, I build my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available for morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care, and I plan my class schedule around the pets I'm watching whenever possible. During house sitting, I'll stick closely to your pet's normal routine and always communicate if I'll be away for class. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, while giving you regular updates and peace of mind. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or just lots of cuddles, I'll care for them as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm experienced caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and pets with medical or mobility needs, and I'll always send photo updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Starkville
Mary was absolutely amazing! She was always on time and stayed the entire time that was allotted which was a big deal to us. She sent the best photos of our cats and made sure they were always content either playing or giving them their squeezies (churrus). Highly recommend booking with her, very trustworthy and kind lady.
Olivia was a great sitter! We booked her drop in services for our cat Percy for 7 days. She sent pictures daily and left in depth comments after every visit. Percy seemed to have had a great time and was happy and healthy when we returned. Will certainly book again the next time we need a cat sitter!

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.
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 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.
