About: Hi! My name is Jordyn and I am 25 years old. I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them! I have had a Husky and Labrador Retriever, a Rottweiller, and I currently have a Goldendoodle that I have cared for since she was a puppy. I used to dog sit/walk for friends and family members, and have multiple years of experience on Rover. Now I hope to help take care of your dog too! I have taken care of many dogs ranging from Papillions to Great Danes. I love interacting with all breeds of dogs. I am available Thursday through Sunday. I would be happy to care for your dog! I work a hybrid schedule and will typically be available Thursday through Sunday to do walks, house sit, or do drop in visits for your pet. I always make sure doors and other entrances are closed and locked upon entry and exit. Your pet will always have food and water according to owner instructions.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, caring for them from their energetic puppyhood to their gentle senior years. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family. Raised with a deep love for animals—a passion passed down from my grandmother—I’ve spent years rescuing, fostering, and caring for pets of all personalities and needs. My husband and I currently share our home with a senior dog, an adult dog, and a cat. Since I am at home during the day and my husband also works remotely several days a week, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! I'm usually at home during the day so I'm flexible to include you pet and I have a rutine with my dogs that include 2-3 walks a day and potty breaks in the backyard on demand. I have a fully fenced back yard where the dogs can explore unleashed and two dogs to make yours company. Also there are plenty walkables areas nearby for them to enjoy outdoors.
“First time using Rover, and Olga was amazing! Frequently kept me updated on Coopers status, including plenty of pics. Had the schedule this last minute and on Thanksgiving Day, and Olga was more than happy to help. Will definitely use her again in the future, and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During these days, I have dedicated time to focus fully on each pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize safety and follow all care instructions closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I’m comfortable with crates, routines, medications if needed, and I provide regular updates to pet parents for peace of mind.
“Marcia is great! She took so many images of my cats while I was gone (and videos) that I loved to watch each day. Left great notes, and was overall incredibly helpful in making my home feel safe and cared for while we were on vacation. Highly recommend - and would use again!”
“Absolutely wonderful pet carer! This was the longest we have left our Siamese for a vacation and she was not only got to need food and water but some companionship as well. Carey was just that! She sent me regular updates and even scooped the litter which she didn't have to do. I even got some great photos that I am trying to download because they are so cute! Definitely securing her for the next time away!”
“Yekaterina is awesome! Friendly, responsive, communicative and especially kind and caring to our elderly girl, Mamie. We really appreciate Kat and hope we can work with her regularly. The next time we might decide to a weekend trip instead of only a day away and we can rest assured that our girl will be well cared for! Kat is A+!”
“Jessica is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, she’s super helpful with being flexible around my weird work schedule and Jacks always seems to be in a great mood after a visit from her.”
“We once again trusted Diego to take care of our animals while we were away and he was fantastic! Always going above and beyond and showing our animals lots of love. Thank you Diego!”
“She was awesome! She sent us pictures and updates, and she was so sweet and caring with our dogs. I felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I've had pets my whole life and know how much it matters to leave yours somewhere you trust. Your dog will be part of the household here — not crated in a back room — with plenty of attention, a regular routine, and photo updates so you know how the day is going. A few things to know about my setup: I have a yard, but it isn't fenced, so all potty breaks and outdoor time are leashed and supervised. Never off-leash. I have one dog of my own, a friendly female Bernedoodle named Dorothy. She's good with other dogs, and I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone for long stretches. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. For walks, I'll stick to whatever route and pace your dog is used to, and I'll let you know how it went. Happy to set up a free meet-and-greet before booking anything. My schedule is completely my own so I can tailor my day to what your dog is used to. Our usual routine is a walk/run in the morning and a walk with the whole family in the evening. Dorothy is crate trained and so can be right next to your dog to keep them company. I have a good sized yard where I can let the dogs out on leashes and a fenced in deck if they want to be outside. I live 5 minutes from an animal hospital and am used to the random ailments that come with taking care of dogs.
About: I have taken care of neighbors pets while they were away from home before and would like to do it more often. I can give medication however instructed exactly on time if needed. Im great at cleaning up after pets Im a part time student at George Mason University, I am currently only on campus tuesdays and thursday 9am-3pm. other than that, im always free unless im at my boyfriends house in leesburg, if scheduling with me everything will go accordingly as planned:) I have a 5 foot wood fenced in back yard, with cameras at around the house including the backyard. if something were to happen it would most likely be caught on the cameras
“Best experience I have had on ROVER for Kona. Esther was VERY professional and responsive and really took care of Kona. Will 100% be my first go to here on out needing drop in visits”
“Laura was so wonderful! She gave updates every visit and was so great with my cat. I have never used a cat sitter before as I recently adopted, but will continue to use Laura in the future!”
About: I have taken care of small to medium dogs and all cats for several years for neighbors and family which included walks, feeds, and play. I currently work remote full time so my schedule is flexible to take care of your furr baby. I am available all weekends and most weekdays with one day notice. I am very flexible with drop off/pick up times. I’ve had pets my whole life. A goofy black lab named Jake and four cats who ran the house. I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for dogs and cats. I work from home, so your pet will get tons of attention, snuggles, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to stick to their usual potty, feeding, and medication schedule so everything feels familiar and comfortable for them. I just moved to Sterling from Herndon, and I’m less than 10 minutes from Dulles Airport (IAD), super convenient if you’re heading out of town! My house has a yard where your dog can stretch their legs and burn off some energy too. Pickup and drop-off are available within 10 miles for $20 total (round trip). If you’re a bit farther, just message me and I’m happy to see what we can work out!
About: I have had experience caring and loving for dogs almost my whole life. My family has always had a dog in the house and I've been caring for dogs from a young age. I'm experienced, passionate and safe. If you're looking for a fun place for your dog to have their very own vacation, you've come to the right place. I began dog sitting for friends and family since I moved into my fabulous dog-friendly apartment. When your dog stays with me, they can enjoy my fenced front yard and I'm very close to a fun dog park. Dogs in my care will enjoy lots of snuggles, playtime and treats--with their owner's permission of course. I understand dog body language, and have cared for dogs of all types. If you pup is anxious, I will make them feel comfortable by offering them kindness and gentle playtime. Dogs--and their owners--love me because I know exactly how to make a dog feel at ease. If you think I'd be a great fit for your pet, please give me a call! I can't wait to hear from you. I love going for walks in my neighborhood and sitting on my back patio, especially when I have a dog to join me!

Marcia made me feel at ease from the moment I met her. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my darling Nikita was in exceptional care. I am BEYOND grateful and would HIGHLY recommend having Marcia care for your precious fur or non-fur family members. Thank you again Marcia for your kindness and flexibility!!!
Abigail took care of my 2 aging fur babies for several days. I couldn't be happier when I saw the daily photos of my female cat being social with Abigail!!! My female cat is normally very standoffish with strangers, but not with Abigail. Animals know when a person is good, and they loved her! My fur babies give Abigail 5+ Stars. I will definitely schedule with Abigail again. :)
Jen was absolutely amazing. She paid so much attention to our kitties, making sure she spent a lot of time with them so they weren't as lonely while we were gone. She was understanding and compassionate when they were acting out and leaving messes on our rugs, she cleaned it and remediated it as well as gave me advice for how to ensure they wouldn't do it again. We are SO grateful for her care and expertise and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make sure their animals are loved and cared for! Thank you, Jen!
Brooke was consistent, reliable, communicative and caring for our two cats while we traveled for a week. We looked forward to the check in pictures Brooke sent everyday. Brooke — thank you SO much for taking such great care of our two boys while we were away. We could tell they were comfortable and happy with you, and they truly enjoyed your visits!!
Lena was very thoughtful while dropping in on my little guy while I was away for the week. While I was away she even kept an eye on a hygrometer I'd set up just before leaving to make sure the dehumidifier I'd been using didn't over dry the air, and kept actively in communication. My cat felt the love and was 100% stoic when I got home (a good thing! He didn't feel so lonely!) Will be in touch with her again for my next out of town trip!
Ashley was fantastic with my kitty! I really appreciate her last minute availability, flexibility, and her responsiveness. She really went the extra mile to make sure that my entitled kitty did not feel too lonely while we were out of town! Great service and definitely recommend Ashley to others looking for a sitter!
Victoria is truly the cat whisperer. I cannot recommend her enough. We needed someone to feed them while we were out and my kitties are always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we come home, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Our cats are also super shy, but with Victoria they come out to say hi. I also really appreciate is her communication. She consistently sends thoughtful updates and pictures, which always brighten my day and reassure me that they’re doing well.
June was a reliable and trustworthy caregiver for our 2 cats for 6 days. They're shy and didn't warm up to a stranger in that short time but we never worried about them or our home; the cats were fed and clean and safe, we received daily photos and reports, and June even cleaned one cat's throw-up from a rug and called us in real time when one cat was hiding (he promptly showed himself the next day). Our home was respected and secure as well. Thanks June!

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.
