“Molly was great! I felt at ease knowing she was checking in on my fluffy 1 year old cat while I was out of town. Great communication and I would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and pet loving sitter!”
“Erin did a great job with our cat Belle. Belle is not the easiest cat to get along with, but Erin had no problems with her. Erin was very responsive to my requests. She adapted easily to a last minute change. I would highly recommend Erin.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“OMG! This was such a great sitting experience! Spice was so happy and chill when we got home, I know Angela took amazing care of our fur baby. The photos of him playing and getting belly rubs made us so happy, and gave us such great peace of mind while we were away. 10/10 recommend for your fur baby needs!”
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties while we were away. She is so kind, reliable, and made us feel at ease while we were away. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Corinne came when she said she would and provided us with photos and feedback from her visits with our dog. As far as we can tell, our dog enjoyed her time with Corinne (she didn't tell us directly but when we arrived back home she was feeling happy and calm:)) I would not hesitate to hire Corinne again.”
“Thank you so much Kristy for taking such a good care of my boys once again . I appreciate the communication and the troubleshooting you did when arrival. We appreciate Nikko and Kopper to be full of love when we are traveling :)”
“Claire was great with our cat! She was also incredibly flexible and was available last minute which was such a help! She was also very good at communicating how our cat was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her!”
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
“I needed a sitter for my 2 Huskies last minute and Sam was able to jump in and do an awesome job taking care of them for the day. Smart, on time does what she says, and the dogs love her. Can't ask for anything more. Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting, thanks again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals who need extra care and attention. If you’re looking for someone you can leave your pets with and truly not have to worry about while you’re away, look no further. I own my own business, so I make my own hours. If I am away during the day, it is for a very short period of time. I keep my own animals on a very predictable schedule. I have a fully fenced in yard and a clean, pet-friendly home where animals are treated like family. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and love while sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive to both the pets and the home. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Alicia was absolutely awesome! She came to do a meet and greet a few days before our trip and we knew instantly she was a good fit for our pups. She gave us great updates with the cutest photos; we felt very confident that our doggies were being taken good care of while we were away. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I have taken care of lots of pets growing up. My parents dog is in her senior years so getting a lot of practice with that as well. I love animals but my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I miss having one around. I work a hybrid position so my schedule can be more flexible on some days! I am also open most nights after the work day and on weekends! I live in an apartment so my home is not the best for a pet at the moment, but I am very respectful in someone else’s space and prefer a clean environment so I will always pick up after myself & your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Claire took excellent care of Merlin! We’re very happy with the care and attention she gave him during both visits. She took him outside for potty breaks, walked him, played with him, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Claire with Merlin again and highly recommend her! 🐾
I would highly recommend Alicia for your pet sitting needs she was amazing with our fur baby! She followed all our instructions and she provided regular updates with pictures that gave us a sense of comfort. She even went above and beyond making sure an important package I received while away was securely placed in the house. I would definitely hire Alicia again if I'm ever in need of services for my pet!
Kira did an amazing job watching my dog, Callie! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience really easy and stress-free. She was great with communication and clearly cared a lot about Callie’s comfort and well-being. Callie can be a little shy at first, but Kira was patient and kind, and Callie warmed up to her quickly. It was clear that she was in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the care she put into making sure everything went smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again!
Our experience with having Ashley watch our cats while we were on our honeymoon, was nothing short of perfect. She made sure to ask questions about our little guys, including their preferences, their favorite toys and ways to best interact with them, and what really made us feel like she was the right choice, was she made it a priority to do whatever she could to ensure we felt comfortable. She knew our little guy Ralphie, (a very sensitive and socially needy pandemic kitten) was a concern for us when we were gone, because he really needs lots of love and attention, and she sent daily updates along with photos of both boys, and videos of playtime. We felt so at ease knowing she was there with them, and focusing on doing whatever they needed, and it really gave us the opportunity to relax, knowing our little guys were happy at home. We cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% reach out to Ashley the next time we need to go out of town. She was an absolute delight and we are so grateful to have found her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waterford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
