“Alyssa has been taking care of our now 85lbs BIG BOY since Jan 2024 (when Bishop, our pitbull, was only 3 months old) Throughout the year, she has proven to be reliable, punctual, respectful, and understanding. Most importantly, Bishop loves seeing her and going on walks with her! Not only does she takes Bishop out for walks, but she take notice of things that could be of concern and address it for his safety, such as walking him on grass during the hot summer. She goes above and beyond and we couldn’t ask for a better walker! We appreciate all that she do!”
“Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Callie went above and beyond taking care of our dog Bowie! She took our request last minute which we were super grateful for. She sent me detailed updates and plenty of photos! Callie also spoiled him rotten and I will definitely work with her again 😊!”
“Amazing!!! Was such a relief having someone help with our pups who clearly loves them as much as we do. Thanks for making our vacation more enjoyable by doing such a great job with Fenway, Duke and Roxy.”
About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 7 years old at my grandmothers dog grooming salon. I’ve always loved both dogs and cats, and I’ve always felt a connection to them. I now have a dog and cat, and am open to caring for more animals! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very easily. On days that I’m working I have plenty of time to walk my dog and feed her in the morning, and once I get out of work i have just enough time to do a walk and feed her! On my days off I tend to spend as much time with my pets as possible, wether is playing, walking, or cuddling! I care for my pets at home by spending quality time with them. My dog loves walks, playing with toys, doing tricks for treats, and cuddling. My cat enjoys lounging with me some days, but he isn’t very playful.
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”
About: Lifelong dog owner, active dog walker, and aspiring dog trainer. I have experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels and am passionate about canine behavior and enrichment. With over 10 years of animal welfare volunteering and experience caring for horses and farm animals, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. Every walk is an opportunity to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive experiences for your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already a part of my day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to be reliable, punctual, and communicative with every client. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for cats, horses, and farm animals, I understand the importance of reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual needs. I always follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leash handling practices, and provide plenty of positive attention during walks and visits. I’m currently working toward becoming a dog trainer, which has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior and safe handling techniques. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own animals.
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, having grown up with both of them. I have such a high fondness! I have trained 4 puppies in the past few years so I am well equipped to handle the littlest of rascals. I also have senior care experience and reactive dog care experience. I am a senior at the University of Southern Maine, and have classes on primarily Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to my light load on my last year, I am able to have high availability throughout the week especially mornings and afternoons. I do my best to provide as happy of an experience possible for the pets. I give them lots of pets, love, food, water, and whatever else is required for their care. If they need to be crated or put in a carrier I am able to do that. I am also able to trim nails or give medicine or anything of the sorts!

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.

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.
