“Sarah did a great job taking care of my two kitties; I always feel like they are in good hands when I leave them in her care. One of them threw up after her breakfast and she stayed for some extra time to make sure she was doing okay. She also stops by for an extra quick daily visit to make sure they still get two meals a day. Will absolutely book with her again!”

About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, and am very serious when it comes to pet care, safety, and health. I have experience in pet care through all stages (puppy - senior), and complex medical cases. Each dog and cat is an individual with their own needs, wants, and traits that need to be fulfilled and noticed. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I LOVE pet care, and providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I understand how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your beloved dog or cat. My primary focus will be the safety of all pets in the house. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my homeby going through all of the details before your pets stay, and updating you with pictures and videos! **Dogs MUST be fully potty trained** DROP IN VISITS: Playing, potty, feeding, cuddling, bathing... I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is both happy and safe! PLEASE NOTE: - I work full time. On Fridays, I get home around at 1:45pm. - I will accept boarding OR daycare. I cannot accommodate both arrangements on the same days. - If you have one dog and more than one cat, I will accept them all. I will have a private, separate room for your cats. - I would like as much notice as possible to set up the pet care arrangement! I have a fenced in yard and a female dog, Sophie, who is very friendly and playful! I will always monitor them and never leave them alone without supervision. Our cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). My previous dog, Johnny, passed away in 2024 and throughout his life he experienced health issues that required daily oral medication (epilepsy and hypothyroidism, and during the last 6 months of his life he had Cushing's Disease). I am experienced in how complicated medication and health issues are in pets. I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual dog/cat and make them feel both safe and loved! If your pet needs their own private space, there is a private room that will be changed to fit the dog or cat's needs. The set up will include toys, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician of 2.5 years and have been working at a veterinary hospital for 3 years. I graduated from a Veterinary Technology Program in 2023 after 2 years and have an Associate’s Degree in Science in Veterinary Technology. I worked at a dog day care for 2.5 years. I volunteered at a cat shelter for 2 years. I had pets all my life so I have 6.5 years of professional experience, 3 years of pet sitting experience, and lots of years of personal experience! I love all pets like my own! I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital, which is about one hour from my home. On Tuesday through Thursday, I’m typically away from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Fridays I return home around 6:00 PM. I’m off Sundays and Mondays, and I work one Saturday per month from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of these hours, I’m fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets, including evenings, early mornings, and my days off. I always make sure pets in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and I communicate clearly so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s needs. For dogs, I can provide yard time and play sessions, leash walks, or hikes for more active pups. For cats, I offer litter box cleaning, help with any messes, and interactive playtime to keep them happy and comfortable. I ensure all pets receive fresh food and water and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. If your pet cannot be left alone for extended periods, I may be able to bring them to work with me (when appropriate and approved), ensuring they receive supervision and care throughout the day. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I’m also experienced and comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for pets who may need it.

About: I have cared for my own dog and family members dogs for several years. I also am an approved foster for Caribbean Canine Connection. I have experience with all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special medical requirements. My own dog, Luke, is very dog friendly as we always have fosters in & out of the home. I work from home M-F so there is almost always somebody home with your pet. My schedule is flexible to accommodate frequent potty breaks. On weekends, my husband and I like to take whatever dogs are in our home on a short, or long hike depending on the tolerance of the animal. Pets are family! I will accomodate any reasonable request. Unless you ask otherwise, all pets will be allowed on furniture. We have baby gates up to separate the dogs in the home if needed..if your dog is crate trained, we have a crate set up in the family room. If your dog is not used to the crate (but is housebroken) they will be allowed to free roam the kitchen/living room at night. All dogs will be fed separately!

About: Hi I’m Hailey! Growing up my family always had both cats and dogs so I’m very comfortable taking care of pets. I have years of experience with both dog and cat sitting for both short and long term stays. I love to be active and take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and can customize my schedule to fit their needs. I work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can work based around you and your pet’s needs! Available weekdays as well as weekends. I have dog sat for both large and small dogs before and have no issue with tailoring to their needs. I have years of experience pet sitting for long term stays up to a month for dogs, cats, and chickens alike!

About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR. All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening. My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personal experience and deep empathy for animals with special needs. I have a Persian cat with ongoing health issues, so I understand how important it is to follow care instructions closely and stay calm, patient, and gentle in all situations. I also cared for my senior dog through his final years, giving me firsthand experience with aging pets who need extra love, attention, and support. I treat every animal like my own—with compassion, respect, and a heartfelt commitment to their well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m not currently employed, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets the attention they need—whether it’s walks, medication, or just companionship. I’m happy to accommodate different needs throughout the week and can be available on short notice. I provide a calm, loving environment and tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With experience caring for a senior dog and a cat with health issues, I understand how important routine, safety, and patience are. I follow instructions carefully and always prioritize your pet’s comfort. I can outside of my home care because I have 2 pets of my own.

About: I am new to the pet sitting game, but I am not new to taking care of my responsibilities well. I am a part-time live-in caregiver for my 92-year-old grandmother, and I housesit and pet-sit for my friends. My references are available upon request! I can’t wait to take care of your pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I have more availability to do pet care. I have religious obligations that I also work around. I will not accept jobs that conflict with my work schedule so that I can be there for your pets! I make sure to respect my clients’ homes as my own, and return everything to as it was given to me. The pets are lives that are entrusted to me, and God says that we must take care of our domestic animals, so I take that responsibility, seriously, and religiously.

About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!

Angela was fantastic! She sent thorough updates and detailed notes during every drop-in visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats looked happy, relaxed, and comfortable in all the photos she shared, and it was clear they were receiving plenty of attention and excellent care. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and the effort she put into making sure my pets were well cared for. Being able to see how content my cats were made it so much easier to enjoy my time away. I would absolutely book Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Our very shy cat Daisy took a shine to Katie . Katie send us updates after each visit, and came out early to meet Daisy and get familiar with the house. She is very easy to work with, good with a very shy cat and is both responsive and responsible.

Sarah did a great job taking care of my two kitties; I always feel like they are in good hands when I leave them in her care. One of them threw up after her breakfast and she stayed for some extra time to make sure she was doing okay. She also stops by for an extra quick daily visit to make sure they still get two meals a day. Will absolutely book with her again!

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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 , 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.
