“Mackenzie did a wonderful job checking in on my by two kitties. Stopped by at the agreed upon times and sent plenty of great pics. I knew my pets were safe and being well cared for.”
About: I have 10+ years of professional experiencing caring for animals as I worked in animal shelter and volunteered for animal rescues. I’ve cared for multiple special needs animals and specialize in felines, but I love dogs though! Especially if your dog loves a loooong walk, I’m your girl! I work full time from home so your pets will have 24/7 care and attention. I will work with your schedule to ensure this is a pleasant experience for you. My preference would be to pet sit at your home as pets enjoy the stability and it reduces anxiety. For the dog lovers, I am a big fan of long walks and play time so your pets will have a lot of distraction. For my feline lovers, I have every cat toy you can imagine and am well versed in the varying personalities they come with.
“Alicia was extremely helpful and my cat - who can be a bit distant at times - warmed up to them very quickly. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!
About: I have taken care of neighbors’ pets many times to brush, feed, scoop, etc and we have 4 cats of our own! I absolutely love animals of all kinds and there are stories of my excited reactions to dogs on the street while I was in a stroller :) I am a recent college grad working part time, which a huge passion for animals. Message me and let’s find a time that works for you! I will adjust to your home and animal’s needs, taking great care and ensuring all play is safe play, wherever we are, walking or at home.
“Anna was great with my girls, she is very friendly and made sure they were comfortable around her. She followed all the instructions and sent good reports of each visit. I will book again and would recommend her. Thank you, Anna!”
“We highly recommend working with Breanna ! We feel so fortunate to have had Breanna care for our dog while we were on vacation . You can clearly tell she has a knack with animals and they are drawn to her. Breanna was so great about including the photo when doing the check-in with our dog. We hope we are lucky enough that Breanna is available when we vacation again!”
“Samantha has been doing drop ins with my dog for a couple of weeks now. She's been great, my dog loves her and is so comfortable with her, which is a relief as a mum of an anxious dog. She followed all my instructions and requests to the T, and has been flexible and accommodating to my changing schedule which is a great plus.”
About: I got my first dog when I was 6 years old and have taken care of them ever since. On multiple occasions I’ve cared for and walked my neighbors and friend’s dogs as well. I’m a student at Michigan state university but I often come home to my family. I’m available most days in the week, depending on my academic schedule. I live in a condo with my family and thus, will be going to clients houses rather than keeping their dogs in my house. I will also be available to walk their dogs as well.
About: I have always loved all animals! I am definitely a nurturer at heart. I have loads of experience watching pets for friends and family. I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sylvan Lake
Megan provided exceptional care for my two cats. She was prompt and consistent with her twice-daily visits. She was patient with my grumpy cat and successfully coaxed my extremely shy cat out to eat. Her daily photo updates gave me great peace of mind. I returned home to clean litter boxes and a tidy house. Highly recommended!
Samantha was an excellent drop in sitter for my cat while I was out of town. She was easy to communicate with and I am extremely pleased with the care she provided for my creatures. Extra things like keeping an eye on my gecko's auto-water system and filling the bird feeder so my cat could be entertained really gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend!!

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.

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 .

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.
