“Jodi was wonderful with my boys! They are adjusting to a new house schedule and she was able to take care of their needs and keep them happy 😃 It’s so nice to leave them and not have to worry while I’m gone.”
About: I've always had dogs and/or cats in my life, from babies to them aging into seniors. I enjoy all stages. I currently have two dogs, a Labrador and a Westie. I dog sat 2 German Shepards and a mix in my home until recently. I enjoy giving lots of love to cats and dogs, young or old. I'm experienced giving medications as well. I do own my own business which is closed Mondays, and most Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm available most mornings, some afternoons, and evenings. If I commit to taking care of your animals then I will be there. I will keep the pets routine to reduce stress. Meeting with the clients prior to my visit to learn the routines is important to me.
“Naomi was everything our kitties needed and more! When we were on vacation for a week, Naomi checked on them everyday and gave them food, water, treats, playtime and attention! She handled all the instructions we had with ease, and her experience taking care of furry little family members shows.”
“Aimee is amazing! She does everything you ask and goes beyond in order to help and make you feel comfortable leaving your pets in her care. She has a lot of knowledge as well. Will definitely call on her again!”
About: I have had cats and dogs all of my life (with the occasional rabbit, bird, rat, and fish mixed in). I have also volunteered at animal shelters for a number of years, taking care of everything from feral kittens to special needs and elderly dogs. I am very responsible, clean, organized, and would love to make your time away from home as stress free as possible by knowing that your loved ones are well taken care of! I promise to treat your pets like they are my own, sending updates as often as you’d like. If you leave detailed care instructions, I will follow them to the T. I have reliable transportation and a flexible work schedule that allows for regular breaks (depends on location, to some extent)! Note: I offer 10% discounts for extended stays (> 6 days). I work a flexible schedule and can pop in and out as needed. Working from your place will also be an option at times and weekends/holidays are totally open. I wrote detailed instructions for my pet sitters and will be sure to follow yours. I’m used to giving meds and following complicated feeding directions. Would love to care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home. Sorry - can’t board because of the animals already at my place.
About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends for most of my life. I also have four cats and three dogs that I adore! I can’t wait to bond with your animals as well :) I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule with most of my classes being mid morning. I also have a car and can pop back and forth between classes if need be, otherwise they will have my full attention after class! I’m very detail oriented and can follow any instructions left with your pet as well as communicate with you throughout the process. I look forward to meeting you and your furry ones!
“Clover did such an amazing job with our 3 cats! One of them requires pills twice a day... you get it. She also watered our greenhouse plants - above and beyond! We already have our next visit booked :)”
About: I can care for your geriatric or special needs dog, administer medications and engage in low impact exercise. I also have extensive experience with puppies, obedience training and behavioral training. If you don’t need specialized services you can still call me to walk and play with your healthy or energetic pup. I am currently a gig worker and have a flexible schedule which allows me to be available to you and your pets on short notice. I will care for your pet(s) in your home or take them outside of the home for walks/play. I will treat your home with respect and care, locking doors and following any instructions/preferences you have.
About: Hi! You can call me Bee, and my whole life I have been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. In my youth I helped my Mom with overnight pet sitting. As an adult I spent 2 years in management with Petco where I was intimately involved in all the areas of animal care including administering medication and dog bathing. Additionally, I have many years of experience with caring for my own pets as well as helping my friends and family with their pets. I work as an independent contractor and can adjust my schedule around all of your pet's needs. I value making your pet feel at home and loved during their entire stay. My family lives in an adorable farmhouse and we would love to have your fur baby come stay with us for a unique experience enjoying the natural environment we have available right outside our doorstep. Your loved one will be treated as one of our own alongside my 12 year old cat, 8 month old kitten, and a 3 year old Iguana (who has his own enclosure). Your pet will also enjoy the smells of farm animals that stay on the property, including sheep and horses. You can trust that your pet will have all of their needs met no matter how much or how little adventure they can handle while staying with us. Dedicated areas can be blocked or fenced of to accommodate all of your pets needs depending on their level of socialization. Private one on one time including bathing and walks can be arranged or play with friendly neighbor dogs who frequent the property can be arranged as well if that is something your pet would benefit from. We maintain a clean and calm environment inside of our home with a warm wood stove they can lay by and large windows they can watch the various wildlife from; again providing as much or as little socialization as they need. If I will be visiting your home for walks or overnight sitting I would spend some time observing their behaviors and understanding their areas and what they like. In any situation your pet will recieve all of the love and belly rubs they want and need. We can't wait to meet you!
About: I have had so many different animals from dogs, cats, peacock, chicken, hedgehogs, rabbits. I am an lovers and can love your animals too. Snakes I really don’t care for. I can work with any requirements. I prefer to come to your home to sit but it’s possible for me to bring your pet into my home as well. I have a yard, no fence, that dogs love to check out. I am also totally willing to come to your location. Dogs, cats, birds, or anything else. I can administer medication. I can clean up your dogs messes, or try.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
