About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I have owned dogs and cats, currently I have one deaf chihuahua, Dotty, and one senior chihuahua, Mickey. My two daughters will ensure that your pet gets plenty of attention. I work remotely from home so someone is always in the house at all times. Weekends vary depending on scheduled activities. I have two chihuahuas so care is always there. I have a fenced in yard, and a water cooler for pets to drink from. There is always plenty of water, toys, and we live nearby Rock Creek Park so there is ample opportunities for walks and hikes. I can check on your dog or you can leave the dog at my home.
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Traci was an excellent dog-walker for us! She kept us updated and provided pictures throughout the weekend as well as little updates. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Truly one of the best pet sitters around. Sue cares for your animal is if they are her own. She is timely with updates and sends lots of photos. Would definitely contact Sue again to care for Kiwi!”
“Our cat Nell loves Claudia! Claudia agreed to stop in and check in on Nell a week before our trip, pretty much at the last minute and we are so grateful. She is easy to communicate with and takes great care of Nell.”
“Our beloved pet sitter/dog walker of 10 years moved, so finding a new person to trust to come into our home and care for our dog and cat was a daunting process filled with much anxiety. Leanne exceeded all of our expectations. She so lovingly cared for Zoe & Athena we honestly felt they probably were a little sad when we came home and she could no longer visit them, twice a day. She communicated with us at least twice daily, with reports on how they were doing and so many pictures. It was a wonderful, comforting experience and we cannot wait to have her watch our two furry friends, again. Thank you, Leanne!”
About: My family has always kept animals-horses, cats, dogs, and anyone else who needs a home. I love animals of all kinds and am a pet owner myself, so I understand the importance of providing quality care to your animal. I am a full-time graduate student with primarily evening classes, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pet(s)! I am available on the weekends for overnight stays and can be available during the week as well. Your pets safety and happiness always comes first. From providing care that suits your animals unique personality, to ensuring safety , I do everything I can to keep your pet happy and safe.
“Stephanie was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, and took a lot of great photos and videos of my cats while I was missing them on my trip. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Chloe did an excellent job cat sitting for our cat. She followed all of our instructions and sent wonderful detailed updates with photos. Chloe played and cuddled with our cat. She is very caring and my cat was very happy when we returned.”
“Kathleen did a great job of caring for our elderly cat while we were on vacation and even learned how to administer the subcutaneous fluids he needs for his kidney disease. Most of all, she made sure to give him lots of love and attention.”
“Adelle is always great! She’s sat our kitties 2 years in a row around the holidays and always gives great updates. Our kitties are always well cared for when we get home!!”
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”
“Wendy was so wonderful and kind! Our dogs were well taken care of, and she was so responsive and sweet. I definitely recommend Wendy if you need a dog watcher you can trust!! :)”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs
About: While I don’t have my own pet, I have been around and taken care of dogs quite often. I regularly take care of all my loved ones’ cats and have had cat sitting jobs as well. I’m a responsible and reliable doctoral graduate who will do a good job, and be sure to keep solid communication with clients! I currently work and study full time from home. I am quite flexible with my schedule and can often help out on weeknights and weekends too! I have an unfenced large yard as well as a large house. I can go on runs, (I’m an avid runner who ran cross country and track in high school!) and I absolutely love playing with dogs. My neighborhood is very friendly for dog walks, with fellow dog walkers around! I don’t have a dog or other pets, so no interactions would disrupt dog-sitting. I have three roommates who can give the dogs extra love :)
About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and over the past five years, I’ve also volunteered at several animal shelters. Through my shelter experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats by feeding them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and, most importantly, giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I truly believe that pets are an important part of our families and hold such a special place in our lives. Every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need. My goal is to make your time away easier by giving you peace of mind that your pets are in loving and dependable hands. I would be so happy to meet you and your pets and have the opportunity to become someone you can trust to care for them! During the week, I’m available to care for your pets before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate any time that works best for you and your pet! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I provide fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a comfortable space for them to rest. I also understand the importance of respecting my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it.
About: Neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me to watch after and walk their dogs daily! Dependable, caring dog walker who treats every pup like family. I provide safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality. Whether your pup loves adventure or slow strolls, I’ll make sure they’re happy, exercised, and cared for. What sets me apart is the care, patience, and responsibility I bring to every pet I work with. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'm a graduate student who works part-time, so I will have lots of time to play and walk with your pups on weekday mornings and afternoons! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that works best for them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in yours, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while always keeping a close eye on their safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay or visit. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waban
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit. She makes sure they always have what they need and are given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Caroline and will surely be going back to her whenever we need a sitter.
Sue was really excellent with my 2 kitty’s! I took a week vacation out of the country and Sue did such a great job watching my cats and it really set my mind at ease. They both have different needs and Sue took the time to make sure they each had what they needed! She even won over my shy cat which is not an easy task! Highly recommend!
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!
Lauren filled in for me pretty last minute for a week of pet sitting my cat, and I am forever grateful she did! She did an excellent job keeping me informed and enticing my cat downstairs with treats. Thank you so much, Lauren, and I hope we can work together again!!
Taylor did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for our three cats over a holiday weekend. She handled food, litter, and medicine as we requested and gave us super thorough updates and cute photos! Made our travel so much easier to know our cats were in good hands :)

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.

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 .

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.
