“Our request was very last minute and Michaela was nothing but flexible and attentive to our cats needs. The meet and greet was really reassuring and her communication was great, we felt at ease knowing there was someone there for their feeding and litter care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“We were so happy with how well taken care of our cat was while we were away for the weekend! Keelyn was very detailed in her drop in visit summaries and we felt confident that she gave our elderly cat lots of love and attention at each visit. Thank you so much Keelyn!!”
“Megan was great with my dog from the start and sent pictures to let me know he was doing ok without me! I felt comfortable knowing she was there to check on him and definitely plan on using her for this service again.”
About: Hi pet parents! My name is Jaz, and I’m a huge animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and family and friends have always relied on me to watch, walk, and care for their pets over the years. I currently have a cat of my own, but I’m definitely a big dog lover too. If it were up to me, I’d probably have five cats and five dogs but my husband says otherwise, so pet sitting is the perfect compromise. 😂 I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and routines however I can, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of pictures and check-ins so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. If your dog is more comfortable in a cat free environment, I’m also happy to have my cat stay with nearby family during their visit. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I homeschool, which allows me to be flexible with my time. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors together as a family, so your pet would fit right into the fun and daily adventures. Your pet would get lots of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day not just quick check-ins. Because of my flexible schedule I can give your pet attention and care throughout the day. I will make sure your pet has all of their needs met, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. We’re also happy to go the extra mile when needed, whether that means extra walks, keeping up with your pet’s usual routine, administering basic medications, or giving them extra comfort and attention if they’re feeling anxious while away from home. We do live in an apartment, but we make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. There are lots of great walking areas nearby, as well as a dog park close to us where your dog can safely run around and burn off energy, and won't feel stuck inside all day.
About: With 30 years in pet care and 50 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.
About: I have two cats of my own who I truly love more than anything, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs, and caring for other people’s cats. I have a warm, calm, and patient demeanor, and I always take the time to let animals get comfortable with me at their own pace. I know that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I believe building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal. I’m also comfortable administering medications and have experience giving inhalers to cats and dogs. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am a school social worker at a special education school and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available most weekday evenings and currently have daytime availability on Fridays. I also have some weekend flexibility and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s specific needs! I always prefer to meet with clients and their pets before booking to ensure I can provide the best possible care for their individual needs. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences, as well as become familiar with your home and any important safety considerations. Building trust and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable is incredibly important to me!
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and rabbits my entire life. I currently dog and cat sit for family, friends and neighbors! I have years of experience and plenty of references. I work in Danvers, MA from 8:30am to 7pm Sundays through Wednesdays. I am available for drop ins before and after work and also overnights if your animal is able to stay alone for longer periods of time. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, giving medicine and crate training. I am also open to whatever needs the owner requests to best suit the animal.
“Ely is terrific--from the booking process to meeting our kitties to the wonderful care she provided when we were away. She was patient with our fussy boy who needed medication twice daily and gave both cats lots of attention. The photos she took and the reports she provided made us feel comfortable while on vacation. It is always tough to leave the fur kids for a trip, but it was so much easier knowing Ely was providing such excellent and kind care!”
“Isabelle did a great job of taking care of Ruby! She was thoughtful and kept me updated every moment making my trip so much better not having to worry about Ruby.”
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)
About: Hello there! I’m Enmanuel Lebron:) I was raised with pets my whole life and unfortunately I can’t have any at this moment. I love taking care of animals and see them happy. To my surprise, I found this app that lets me take care of pets and meet as many as I can. I am patient and understanding with pets which allows me to hold a better relationship with them. Sometimes the also want to be listened to! Hahahaha I am an off-season teacher so my schedule is pretty flexible!! Hire me and you’ll support young teachers while also getting care for your pets:) Every pet is very different! I will stick to the parent’s rules because they definitely know their pet better. However, I try to be very observant with pets to see if something might need to be changed at some point.
About: I’ve loved animals since I have a memory. Have volunteered in shelters and fought for animal rights in my home country. Love cats and dogs in all shapes. I have a very flexible schedule. I spend all day at home so I can accommodate to your needs. I am available weekdays and weekends . I have one sweet cat who has lived with dogs and other cats before. The apartment is closed inside a building, there are no safety concerns.
“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with the cats and they are very happy! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter! She is kind and genuinely cares about animals and that shines through and was the reason I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care!”
“Cassie was wonderful for our beloved Howard! She took such good care of him while we were away, gave him all the love and attention he needed, good walks and was very attentive to his senior dog needs. Thank you so much Cassie!”
About: I have 20 years of experience with looking after pets of all ages to the best of my ability. I treat your pet as if they’re my own and ensure they’re able to be as happy as could be, while their parents are away. I ensure to send updates, pictures, and videos for your peace of mind. I have experience with administering medication to pets, both pills and liquid. Written instructions are appreciated, but not required. 🙂 I’m focusing on my Rover clientele so I am available full-time. Please contact me for a meet and greet and see where everything goes from there! I am not able to offer boarding at home, but am able to take care of your babies in the comfort of your home where they’re most comfortable. If you prefer to provide instructions for your pets, I will follow them. You will receive a lot of pictures and videos of your fur babies as well.
“Aimee was absolutely great with our two cats! She kindly took the time to stop by and meet us prior to our first booking with her, and was very sweet with our cats. Aimee went above and beyond to follow our care instructions and also make sure our home stayed clean for the cats while we were gone. We got lots of adorable pics of the cats after every visit and had the peace of mind knowing our cats (and home) were in good hands!”

Our request was very last minute and Michaela was nothing but flexible and attentive to our cats needs. The meet and greet was really reassuring and her communication was great, we felt at ease knowing there was someone there for their feeding and litter care. I will definitely book with her again!
Gienna was amazing with our dog, Harley! She was incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive in her drop-in visits. Throughout the entire process-from booking and communication through her last visit of the day-she was prompt and made sure to provide very detailed updates. Our dog loved Gienna and we knew he was in very capable and caring hands! I could not recommend Gienna more!
We absolutely adore Claudia and she has been our go-to pet sitter for the past two years now, especially when we go away for more than a week! All of our kitties love her, even our shy guy. She is super responsive, sends amazing updates and also takes great care of our home. Highly recommend!
Ida was a great sitter!! She checked in on every visit, kept me updated throughout my time away, was on time, punctual and took great care of my cat, Gia. She was also able to administer medications and kept me in the loop with my cats health issues. I would recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter and will definitely book with her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Swampscott stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
