About: I grew up with our boxer, Sargent and our Great Dane, major. I now have 2 cats Piper & Ozzy, and 1 kitten Milo … with a pup we are getting here soon who was just born :) I love animals and love meeting new ones! I used to pet sit for family members growing up and I would volunteer at animal shelters. I have been around all stages of pets and i think every animal pet wise. I am open to helping out in any way I can! ( I do have brown hair now ) I am a SAHM, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I rather a time in between 1-8 but we can work out different times if need be ! Just let me know what you need! My 3 cats are inside! And I have a fenced back yard on 1.5 acres for my pup I’ll be getting soon! My fur babies eat whenever they want always plenty of food and fresh water and nothing for them to get into!
“Cynthia is such a great asset to my Sophie! She is very kind and loving with her. She is prompt and detail oriented . She asked all the right questions to make sure she didn’t miss any aspect of Sophie’s care. Today was our first drop in visit and I will definitely be scheduling more in the future. She feels like someone I can trust!”
“Alexis did an incredible job taking care of my two fur babies! She is personable, punctual, professional, caring and compassionate. She followed all of my instructions to the letter. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip, knowing she was caring for my two kitties! I've had several sitters through Rover's service and Alexis is the best!. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Courtney was great for cat sitting! She sent photos each day and a quick text to let me know how it went, which I greatly appreciated and gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat seems relaxed and happy when I got home. Can’t wait to have Courtney come back for Labor Day!”
“Not all petsitters understand cats, but Michael clearly does and enjoys getting to know their individual personalities. He did an outstanding job of maintaining our two cats' normal meal schedule while we were away and giving them the attention they love to get.”
“Kerrington takes good care of all our babies which includes a cat, dogs and fish. It makes leaving them much less stressful knowing they are in capable hands. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of every pet you can imagine and have enjoyed meeting and growing a bond with each and every one! I feel very blessed and grateful for all my pet parents that continue to trust me to love and spoil their fur babies 🐾 I'm available seven days a week! Recently quit my day job to pursue my passion again.. pet sitting! I love spending my days loving and spoiling your precious fur babies! My neighborhood has clean safe sidewalks with plenty of shade during those sunny summer days! I also have a partially fenced in yard where we can take leashed potty walks.
About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.
“Hannah was amazing with my puppy! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures, which really gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was doing well. She made sure my puppy was fed, changed the puppy pads, and took great care of everything while I was away. She is dependable, attentive, and caring, and I felt completely comfortable having her care for my puppy. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I have been a dog sitter before and I have a dog of my own which I have had since she was a puppy, I love all animals and love to take care of them! I’m newly married and don’t have a job, I mostly just tend to our house and would love to have something to do during the day! I have a fenced in back yard and a spacious living room in my house, both great for plenty of play time and running around!
“Deanna was very kind and affectionate towards the babies…took pictures and let me know if she needed to administer topical spray to a boo boo on my dog - overall very pleased with this experience and would recommend DeAnna to others.”
“Audrey is super friendly and patient with both of my boys. One is super energetic, and the other is a lot more timid. She handles both with the energy and care that they desire, and always makes them both feel special.”

We are home all the time. We also engage and play with our pets all the time. We have plenty of toys to keep them amused too. Our large back yard is fully fenced and safe and clean at all times. We constantly clean up debris. We monitor playtime and meals to make sure they are safe at all times.
About: I’ve raised and been around dogs my entire life. I can train minor skills to puppies along with potty training. The bigger the dog the better! I live for big goofy giants that still deserve all the love! I also have experience administering medicine to even the most stubborn of dogs. I fully aim to make sure your babies are left healthy, fed and enriched. (I am allergic to cats) I’m fully available day or night. I’m also willing to spend extra time for slower dogs or for dogs who have more energy than most. I’ll wrestle em. I love dogs more than people most of the time. I understand that no two dogs are the same and they all come with different sets of needs. I personally have an ACD and Newfoundland, I can handle just about anything. I love the giant teddy bears and tiny terrors all the same! I’m willing to play, cuddle, and just love your babies like they’re my own dogs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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 .
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.
