“Anita was so great and patient with my shy cat, Yoda. She took the time Yoda needed to feel comfortable with her and moved at Yoda’s speed. The anxiety and guilt I had about leaving my cat alone for many days was eased knowing she was in good hands with Anita. I also got the most thoughtful and thorough details of how each visit went!”
“Kelby is a real pro and took amazing care of our kitties! She was very communicative and the daily updates gave us peace of mind that our cats were in good hands while we were out of town. We will 100% be reaching out to her the next time we need a cat sitter. Thank you, Kelby!”
“It has been so relieving to have someone as caring as Justine to check in on my dogs while im at work. I know I can count on her to make sure my dogs are taken care of!! They love her!”
“Great to work with! Easy to communicate with, flexible and quick to respond. She was able to mix my pets pain medication capsule into purée and get him to eat it during the time I was gone. Nice to know he is being well taken care of while I am away.”
“Hannah was amazing! When she came to the house for the meet and greet our dog Midge was nervous but Hannah got down on her level and was very sweet and patient while Midge checked her out. As we showed her around she took notes on her phone to make sure she remembered everything, we felt confident that she was going to make her visit with Midge as fun as possible! Hannah sent us a cute picture and a recap of the visit as well. This was our first experience using rover and we will definitely be using Hannah again!”
“Nadia was amazing! I cannot say enough about how helpful she was with my 3 cats. She was extremely caring and friendly, providing me updates and photos while out of town. She made sure they got the love they need. She even brought in a package for me and kept me updated with any concerns.”
“Emily took amazing care of our darling, and needy ;) cat Nikka. She went above and beyond to make sure Nikka had the necessities each day and that included serious and extended cuddles. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad that Emily took such great care of our girl. We highly recommend.”
“Ashley was fantastic with our 3 pups. We have two senior dogs who require extra care and Ashley had no issues administering meds and keeping up with their special diets! Great experience!”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of every kind. I've dog sat and cared for cats and dogs many times for friends over the years. I have three cats of my own I care for daily. I feed, brush, play with them, and provide them with veterinary care. I am available for regular check-ins daily, providing walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I am available Sunday, but only after 12pm. I am available early afternoon 11am-4pm and late evening 6-11pm Unfortunately at this time I do not have the space or luxury of providing boarding for pets as I live with other pets and people. I want your pets to feel most comfortable and safe in their own space. I am more than willing to learn all their wants and needs, all the special things they love about their space and home to give them the best and most comfortable care for them.
“Absolutely amazing person! Super friendly, kind, and truly cares for the pets like their own. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. Our pets were so happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommended—simply the best!””
About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I grew up with cats, but became a dog person the day I unexpectedly met my pup Rebel 12 years ago! I wasn't planning on getting a dog that day, but I fell in love the moment I saw him, and the rest is history! Our girl, Kimmy (10), joined us in 2020 when a friend needed to rehome her. She's a social butterfly. They love making new friends, so we'd love to host your little one(s), and welcome them into our home. We have a fully-fenced back yard to run and play in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here, but I'm happy to follow any rules you may have for your dogs if you prefer they not get on furniture. I currently work full-time outside of the house, but can come home over lunch to offer potty breaks if needed. When dog sitting, I try to limit my nighttime plans, so I'll have lots of time to play with your pup(s) after work! Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a 6ft privacy fence around most of the backyard, and a 4ft picket fence along one edge. I never leave the dogs unattended in the yard. I have a large dog crate if needed.
“Haleigh was awesome! I loved getting all the check in messages and pictures. It kept my mind at ease knowing she was taking good care of my babies. I plan on using Haleigh in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals. I’ve hosted many types of foster animals from the Lawrence Humane society. I am comfortable with caring for all types of animals! I work full time as a police officer. However when I am working my boyfriend is home to take care of any animals we are hosting. I am available for walks anytime Saturday, Sunday and Mondays. I can walk pets in the evenings every other day of the week. I have a fenced yard and have two crate trained, pet friendly dogs. I’ve fostered for years for the animal shelter so my dogs are familiar with new animals being in the home. When your pets are let out in the yard they will be monitored! I can and will send updates as requested!
About: Hello! Fun Fact: If given the choice, I’d probably spend time with animals over people. 😊 I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for them is something I genuinely love. As a pet owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality and routine and I treat each one like family. I’m experienced in administering medications, including injections and diabetic care, and I’ve completed obedience training with my own dog, so I’m happy to reinforce good habits using positive encouragement. Since I own my own business, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to work around your pet’s routine. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or a little extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Structure and consistency are important! And because of that I strive to stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also respect your home, keep everything clean and secure, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feeding and playing with their pets. And even sometimes have play dates with my dog. I’m currently trying to find things to keep me busy there out the week/weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available during the week and weekends at any time. I have two friendly pets to keep your fur baby company.crate your dog if needed I have a labradoodle. She is two years old and I have a Sphynx cat, which is four years old.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I often watch my friends’ pets when they travel, and I really enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I already have a pretty consistent routine with work and daily life, so I plan pet care around that. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure I always have enough time to properly care for each pet. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs, while also keeping the home tidy and secure
About: I’ve spent the past year and a half immersed in the world of dog training, where I gained hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for the power of positive reinforcement. I’m also certified in K9 CPR, ensuring I’m prepared for any emergency. Today, I’m proud to be a dedicated team member at Woof’s Play and Stay, where my passion for dogs is more than a job—it’s truly my way of life. While my schedule at Woof’s keeps me busy, I always make time to provide dedicated care for your pets. Their well-being is my top priority. I have years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and abilities—including those who are deaf, blind, or even tripod. Providing them with compassionate, individualized care is always my top priority.

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 .

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.
