“We had a last-minute need for a cat sitter, and Melissa came to the rescue! She took great care of Loki, was timely with communication, and shared photos and notes from her visits.”
“Andrew is great with Benji who can be a handful!!! Benji can be anxious and doesn’t always follow the rules🙄. Andrew has been very patient with him and Benji is always happy to see him. Also has been available last minute and has come every time we asked. Highly recommend Andrew if you need a sitter for your pup!”
“Jackie was very nice, came to meet me before she started and was here when expected. She had to clean up more than her fair share of pee with a new puppy and a jealous brother dog. Thanks Jackie for coming on short notice as well!!”
“Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe”

“Daniel was awesome, simply put. Great communication and multiple updates kept us in the loop. He was very engaging with our dogs and went above and beyond our expectations.”
About: I’ve had experience working with my own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles, to small animals, to birds, and of course cats. I also have experience with dogs with plenty of experience administering medication to a wide range of animals. I’ve also worked at a kennel for 2 summers walking dogs. As a full-time High School Teacher, my availability opens up significantly in the summers. Lucky for all of us, that’s usually when everyone wants to enjoy the weather! Depending on the situation, I can be very accommodating and flexible for whatever you and your pet needs. My wife and I have our own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles and amphibians, to rabbits, to fish, to birds, and of course cats. While we are getting ready to purchase our first home together before we add a doggy to the mix, I have years of personal experience with dogs, with some professional experience working at a pet inn. Every night I spend at least 30 minutes tending to the care of our various animals, checking in on them and documenting feedings while taking note on any physical changes or abnormalities. The cats of course get more attention and more feedings, usually about 4 small meals spread throughout the day ranging from dry food to various wets foods.

Friends regularly trust me to care for their pets while traveling. I prioritize calm, attentive care, maintaining routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. As a full-time therapist, my weekdays are primarily dedicated to client sessions. I am most available for pet care on Thursdays through Sundays, which allows me to provide consistent, unrushed attention during those days. On my available days, I structure my routine around scheduled check-ins, walks, feeding times, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I prioritize reliability and clear communication with pet parents so they feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. This setup allows me to stay fully present with clients during the week while giving pets my focused time and attention on weekends and Thursdays. provide a calm, attentive, and reliable presence focused on basic care needs including feeding, walks, and play. My approach is centered on maintaining each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was in my 20s. I have crate and potty trained all my dogs. I have patience and compassion for dogs. I would often meet up with friends and family at house party gathering and dog park gatherings to socialize my dogs and to show them love, companionship, and that they are a member of the family not only a pet. I've kept and cared for dogs until there dying age and paid for there cremation. I am indeed a dog loving person. I am currently taking care of my mom who has dementia 24/7 and I am home with her all day. The only days I'm out the house is when my mom or myself have a doctor's appointment. The time I have during the day, I can do dog walks and drop by to feed and let your dog out to your yard.

About: I have 20 years experience with mostly dogs while i have some cat experience. I would love to help care for your pets daily , weekly, monthly or once a year if needed. It is my personal goal to take excellent care of your pets so you can have peace of mind while away. Animals are just so loving and appreciate every little bit of love and care you give them. In my years of experience with pets I have learned so much from my big dogs and my little shitzhu. My whole family is very pet oriented. Two of my children work in animal rescue and training. So anything I dont know I can learn from them. I hope you will consider me to be your dog Walker and pet sitter.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs, big & small for many years! I absolutely LOVE caring for everyone’s pets like they are my own! Feeding, walking, and even a little bit of training is something I have so much fun doing!! I am work full time (3 12-hour shifts) as a registered nurse so the days I work change every week. This gives me 4 days off a week so dog walking/drop in’s fit best in my schedule. I am able to provide multiple walks daily, can easily crate dogs if needed, and can feed pets as instructed. I do not have a fenced in yard.

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 Temple 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.
