About: Hello! My name’s Selena, and I’m a medical student who genuinely loves animals. I’ll care for your pet like my own and always provide reliable, attentive care. I will also keep you updated periodically with messages and send you detailed Rover cards! (: I offer flexible dog walks and drop-in visits before or after class and on every other weekends.

I’ll follow their routine carefully and send updates with photos after every visit so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have been a pet owner to most animals over 30 years. I have experience in all breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I love to play with them in the yard, I make sure they have water at all times and I stick with their schedule for eating. Animals are like my children though I do have human older children too. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have had many dogs over the years and even a few cats. When my children were young they each had their own guinea pig and chicken. Yes I said chicken.!! I recently bought an alpaca who lives on a beautiful farm and I go and visit him often. My main job I work from home but my pets are never by themselves for longer than 4-5 hours. I have owned pets my whole adult life and could never see myself not having this wonderful responsibility! I make sure when arriving at a clients house that I greet each pet. Then we got outside for potty break and playtime. I normally stay about 30 minutes. I make sure they have fresh water and give them a treat if allowed.
About: I have recently been learning different breeds while fostering. It has given me insight to which ones like what and what their needs are on a daily. I work from home so I have some flexibility in my schedule to do stuff throughout the day. I enjoy being able to help animals. I have a dog sitting schedule you can download from Etsy for drop offs well. You can purchase that here: https://prettyyoungthin........ I have been fostering on a regular the past year. I enjoy caring for and having the dogs around to keep me company too. They are fun getting to learn the different breeds.
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
“Bracey is so sweet, professional, and caring! She took perfect care of my pup while I was away, following all the directions I laid out for her. She even went out of her way to have a meet and greet with my dog the day before so that my dog could be comfortable with her. She took to Bracey immediately and you can tell how much she cares for dogs. Highly recommend Bracey!”
“Melissa was fabulous. She was reliable and friendly and conscientious. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I needed to extend her visits she did so without hesitation. She spent time with my cats and sent great updates and photos throughout.”

I have a mini golden doodle and am constantly aware of the potential dangers to her. My main goals are to keep your dog comfortable and to not send them home with a vet bill.
“Jess was amazing!!!! Great communication and she was always on time. She sent me the best photos and updates daily. Definitely put my mind at ease allowing me to fully enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was well taken care of. You can tell how much she truly loves animals.

About: I’ve been rescuing and taking care of my own cats since I was 12. My pets are my family (moved them with me across continents) so I get the stress of being away. I have a 19 year old car and two 12 year olds. I know how to take care of cats from the day they are born to senior cats. I work full time as a teacher and I am available for home visits after 3 PM every day besides Sundays. Sundays I would only be able to stop by early morning . I can provide any care your cats need. I currently take care of my cat with kidney disease and I do her transfusions myself. I can also administer medication or anything else your baby might need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
Hunter is a conscientious, loving and professional person. She cared for my diabetic cat for two weeks and I received glowing reviews from him lol. I very much appreciate Hunter’s style as well. She was relaxed and confident around Mick. Hunter is and will be on Team Mick for future trips!!!!
Melissa was fabulous. She was reliable and friendly and conscientious. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I needed to extend her visits she did so without hesitation. She spent time with my cats and sent great updates and photos throughout.
Katia was a literal godsend for us. This was our first time trying Rover and having someone stop over to care for our cats while on vacation. This may be the first time in years where we literally had no stress regarding the care our cats were receiving. Katia was on time for every appt., and kept us updated throughout our whole trip. Katia will definitely be our go to cat sitter for any future getaways.
We had such an amazing experience with Samantha, and we truly couldn’t recommend her more! Not only did she make sure our cats were happy, well-fed, and loved, but she also watered our plants! 🪴 She always included the cutest pictures in her updates which always made us smile! We even came home to printed photos of our cats along with a kind note—it was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that meant a lot to us! 🥹 If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly kind, she is absolutely the best. 🙂
Marley was awesome with my cat! She stopped by every other day and took great care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he was happy and well cared for while I was away. My cat clearly felt comfortable with her, and I really appreciated how reliable and caring Marley was. I’d happily ask her to watch Avery again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter! 🐾

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 .

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 .
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.
