About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.

About: I've spent over a decade volunteering and working with animals across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Middle East — from cat shelters to training my own dog to service-dog level in obedience (sit, here, heel, center + more). My home is very clean, calm, and routine-based. Whether it's a dog who needs structure and adventure or a cat who needs a spotless litter box and quiet affection, I create a safe, happy, healthy environment and treat every pet like family, with daily photo updates. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom to a 4 month old puppy, I spend most of my time around the house. I also take the pup to the dog park / beach every day or every other day. I have a fenced in yard for my pup & I’ve worked her recall enough now that I don’t have to worry about her. She’s super trained inside and outside the house.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. For the past 3 years I’ve taken care of dogs for multiple families, stayed over to care for pets overnight, worked as a dog walker, and always love playing and meeting new pups. I have cared for multiple pets at once, am consistent with feeding and walking schedules, have cared for pets of all ages, and love to share updates and pictures of your pup. I am a graduate student based in Lake Bluff who loves animals! I have a car and a lot of morning and evening flexibility with some mid-day flexibility as well to feed, walk, or check in on pets. I am also available for overnight stays to ensure your pet is cared for overnight. Because of my flexible schedule, I am available for last minute bookings to help care for your pet in any way needed. I can’t wait to meet new furry friends! I feel comfortable staying in clients home if needed, dropping in to walk or feed pets, and crating pets if needed. I’ve had repeat clientele for whom I’ve cared for free roam and crated pets, dogs with special care needs, stayed overnight both short and long term, and worked as a dog walker. My own dog is a small, 18 lbs, friendly dog who loves to meet new friends. I have experience with my own and other pets and thus have a good understanding of animal body language, building trust, and understand that a good pet sitter should get to know your pet on their own terms. I am also willing to do meet and greats to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable with the match.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether I’m walking a high-energy pup, providing gentle care to a senior dog, or spending quiet playtime with a shy cat, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work a flexible schedule as a licensed esthetician and certified laser technician, which allows me to offer availability for pet care throughout the week.

I care for pets in my home, which is set up to be safe, comfortable, and welcoming. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and a spacious downstairs area perfect for crates or quiet time when needed. Pets are welcome throughout the house and treated like part of the family.

Cleanliness, supervision, and safety are my top priorities—and of course, lots of love and attention!

About: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.

About: I am a special education teacher looking to keep busy and make a little extra money this summer! I currently have two cats, but have also had dogs my whole life. I have also had turtles, fish, and even a mini pig. I have experience caring for birds as well. My schedule is pretty open! I am a special education teacher with my summer off! I have a few set plans over the summer- such as a trip to Disneyland for a week in July. But, in general, I’m pretty flexible. I feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and love all animals that I care for. I also will take especially active animals for walks or play with them in the house.

Lindsey is one of a kind: my dog, the shyest boy ever, loves her. My cat, the sassiest boy ever, loves her. She is a great communicator and always willing to help. She’s been a lifesaver on a number of spur of the moment requests and always works with us to provide the best care for our picky critters. We will book again!

Christine is amazing! She is incredibly down-to-earth and a true animal lover. All of my cats came out to greet her, which absolutely never happens on the first visit. She was very responsive, shared lots of great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!

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.

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 .

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
