“Courtney has looked after my cats multiple times and has always done a wonderful job! I can trust that my babies are well taken care of and loved while I am away! ❤️”
“BETHANY WAS AWESOME!!! She was on time and very attentive. She communicated daily with each visit and included pictures. She went above and beyond to care for lacy and our home, she did everything that was asked and then some. She's an awesome sitter and we'd highly recommend her.”
About: I have over 13 years of experience as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive knowledge of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every pet like family and provide compassionate, personalized care for pets of all ages and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full time, but I am available for morning and evening visits throughout the week and have additional availability on weekends. I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection they need, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I strive to maintain their pet’s normal schedule with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m experienced in administering medications and caring for pets with special needs when needed. I always prioritize safety and closely monitor for any signs of illness or stress. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving loving, reliable care while they’re away.
About: I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine. I have always been a stay at home mom since adopting my children. Now that they are 20 and 21, I’m just a homebody. I am able to tend to your babies 24/7. In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, my family, friends, neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets, I am really good and will love your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom/homemaker I have one Cat and a frenchie . They are both great with other animals. And I just love animals I live on 40 acres, plenty of room to walk your fur babies. My frenchie loves playing with other animals. Very safe investment. Lots of love
“Super responsive and interactive with my cat! Sent a ton of videos and photos. We even came home to a card and two little snow globes for my kiddos. Can’t recommend more. We will definitely book Jaylin again to care for our pets!”
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
“Kylie was great taking on my two big energetic pointers. They can be a lot to handle when they have been cooped up all day and she said they were sweet and good girls :). Appreciate her!”
About: I have grown up in a household full of animals. I’ve always been the kid to stop and help an animal. I love watching animals aswell as trying to teach them tricks ! I am a babysitter and figured this could also be a fun task with something i enjoy doing as a broke college student. Feel free to reach out and contact me for more information ! 🩷 I’m currently a freshmen in college but can work with your schedule as long as you can work with mine ! Weekends would preferably work better but I can work with you ! I currently do not accept at home sitting due to me not owning my own house. However when I get my own place I will ! I can crate or take them out whenever is needed
About: I have experience taking care of a Doberman in the past for 2 years. I’m very familiar with homes with multiple dogs and cats in the house. I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs at a local shelter. I work full time Monday through Friday so the best time for me is the weekend. You can go on your weekend getaway with a peace of mind. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I will follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize each pet’s comfort and security, and ensure constant supervision and responsible care.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cat! She's very shy with strangers normally so it was great to see all of the photos of her coming out to greet you. Very professional and kind, 10/10.”
“Brennen is WONDERFUL with our Poppy girl! Poppy adores her and any other visitors that come along!!! I’m so thankful to have someone that not only seems to love and care for our pup but also I can trust to reliably come! Thank you Brennen. With love and thanks, Poppy ♥️ and Jess”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I got my Stella in 2020. Shortly after, I also got Charlie, and more recently I got Bagel. I love to take them on walks, to the dog park, and treat them to pup-cups. On occasion, I have also helped out with babysitting puppies and dogs for family friends. I love any dogs, big or small. I’m currently a full time student in university, but I can still make plenty of time to play with your pups! If I can make time for my dogs, it’s no problem with yours. I enjoy every new experience I’m offered to care for a new pet. I do my best to adapt to their routine and keep them comfortable in their environment. Whatever their normal is, I’d love to be apart of it!

I unfortunately do not do dog sitting at my house as my own dog is very skiddish but maybe in the future! I am the primary caretaker of my family dog. I take him for walks around the park daily as well as petco/petsmart runs for new toys that he doesn’t need lol! I did work in a boarding/daycare place for a couple months where we cared for those animals like no other! I often come to family members houses to walk their dogs and/or dog sit if they need me to.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sumter
Robert continues to be an exceptional sitter, and this visit was a perfect example of why we trust him with our pets. What could have been a very stressful stay included both a dog escape and a cat scratch, yet Robert handled everything calmly, professionally, and with grace. His communication throughout the entire situation was outstanding. He kept us informed, acted quickly when our dog made an unexpected adventure out of the yard, and managed the challenges without ever making us feel panicked. He was transparent, responsible, and focused on keeping everyone safe. Things don’t always go according to plan when caring for animals, and it’s during those moments that a sitter’s character really shows. Robert demonstrated exactly the kind of judgment, reliability, and dedication we look for. We’re grateful for the care he provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.

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.
