“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”
About: I grew up caring for family cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats. Recently, I provided daily care for a French Bulldog for 3 months, taking him on twice-daily weekday walks and potty breaks. I am naturally attentive, gentle, and dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy. I have a very flexible schedule that easily accommodates your pet’s routine, especially Thursday through Monday from 1:00 PM onward. While my availability is highest on these days, I am always happy to discuss fitting in visits that work for you. Please note that I am unavailable during major holidays. I prioritize safety, comfort, and direct communication. When caring for pets at the client’s home, I ensure all doors and gates are fully secured and closely follow your routine. During walks, I stay vigilant of surroundings, keep dogs on a secure leash, and clean up thoroughly. I also provide regular photo updates after every visit so you can have complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is growing up with three Jack Russells tearing through our house, so I learned pretty quickly that loving animals also means understanding their energy, personalities, body language, and needs. My family has always adopted from shelters, and our animals have never felt like “pets.” They are family members, and I treat the animals in my care the same way. I’m attentive, hands on, and not afraid of the messy parts of caring for them, whether that means checking a dog’s mouth when something seems wrong, cleaning up an accident, noticing a change in behavior, or simply giving them the patience and affection they need. I truly believe animals deserve someone who pays attention and takes their care seriously. I’m responsible, respectful, comfortable with both dogs and cats, and very used to all the stinky, silly, chaotic, and loving energy that comes with them. Trust me, I get it, and I’m your gal! I’m currently transitioning careers, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I genuinely love being outdoors, walking, exploring, and appreciating nature, so having a furry companion along makes it even better! After recently losing my Chihuahua of 10 years, spending time with animals brings me so much joy. Since my condo doesn’t allow pets of my own, I have a whole lot of love and attention waiting for yours. Trust and communication are incredibly important to me when someone is placing their pet in my care. I’ll always be reachable and transparent about what our day looks like, with plenty of text updates and photos along the way. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior, comfort, routine, and surroundings, and I’m happy to follow whatever instructions help your pet feel safest and most at home. My goal is simple: a happy pet, a comfortable owner, and a safe, loving experience for everyone.

About: I’ve had animals in life since I was fifteen years old and wouldn’t have it any other way! My family considers them as another family member! I currently work remote so my schedule is extremely flexible. I can come several times a day or can even stay for extended periods of time to provide companionship. I would much rather take care of any pets in their own homes so they are as comfortable as they can be. Rather than bringing them to mine where they could be stressed since I already own a few rascals of my own.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life. I’ve helped out my elderly neighbors with walking their dogs for allowance and pet/house sit for my friends while they were on vacation. It’s one of the most enjoyable jobs I’ve ever done. Pet care with Rover fits well into my schedule because I’m a student and Miami Dade Colleges downtown location that is in the vicinity of the area I can easily provide services for. I prefer to care for pets in my clients home to ensure that the pet doesn’t suffer from anxiousness or feel any discomfort from being in a foreign place.
“Eva was amazing with my 2 cats! She very quickly got to know them and put them at ease, shared lots of updates, was very good with communication, and followed the care instructions perfectly. (One of our cats takes meds daily) The most seamless experience on Rover we've had so far!”

I will make sure they eat well and also stay fit and be healthy all the time! I had a dog back home and now here I have my own dog Mikie who is my best friend.

I work FT from home so I can take care of dogs any day and time, of course I’ll be working during business hours, but I should be more free after 4pm everyday. Dogs for me are a gift of God. They deserve nothing but love and respect. Making sure I give the dog enough time to know me is highly valuable for them to start earning that trust.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Irina took incredible care of my babies (2 cats) while I was out of town. She made sure they were fed on time, played with, and kept their litter box clean. She sent me pictures every day that gave me the peace of mind to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely love to work with Irina again!!
Jessica is one of thee BEST pet sitters I have ever had! For real! 😃 She goes above & beyond to make your pets feel comfortable and happy. My 2 cats instantly loved her when she walked in the room and approached her. She has a wonderful personality, a calming sweet aura, and just so kind. I will absolutely hire her again whenever I go on a trip home. My cats look so happy 😀 in all the photos n vids she has sent!
Leo has been very responsible when taking care of my two cats, who are also really shy. I could even tell from the photos that he was able to gain their trust in a short amount of time, which is quite difficult to do. I would definitely book him again without hesitation and highly recommend him
Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.
Any is amazing!!! She took such great care of our two cats and managed to administer the medicine like a champ to one of them. She was always sending us videos and photos so we could see how well they were doing. Any, thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our cats!
Hannah is truly amazing and reliable. My cat iStitchy sn't the most affectionate cat to new people. But he has become very attached to Hannah every time she visited. She provided me with update on him while my family was away and took good care of him, making sure his litter is clean, water and food bowls have plenty of food and playing with him. She even fed my fish in two fish tanks. So grateful to her big help! Thank you Hannah. You are the best! Will recommend you to anyone who needs a reliable and loving pet sitter.
Jaylan is calm, kind and patient. One of my cats loved her and the other (who only loves me😂) seemed to take to her also. She did just as I had requested for the time I was away, which I appreciate- as the biggest part was just spend some time with them so they wouldn’t get lonely or stressed. I would definitely recommend her.
Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!

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 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.

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 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.
