“Alyssa took exceptional care of our cat, Yue, and he loved her attention! She sent us notice when she arrived and also great pictures of Yue showing affection to her! He looked relaxed and happy which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing really good! Thank you!!! We hope we can book again with Alyssa and highly recommend her.”
“Rowan was absolutely amazing!! The detailed photos and thoughtful visit summaries gave us so much peace of mind, knowing our fur babies were in great hands. Rowan went above and beyond caring for Kiwi and Sting, and we will definitely book her again. I highly recommend Rowan to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!!”
“Lydia cared for Lou twice a day, sent me pictures each visit to confirm her being there without me asking for that. Even came early before a storm one day so Lou didn’t have to go out in the rain. Communication was great so I recommend!”
“Rob did a great job with our dogs for the weekend! He went above and beyond and even offered to drop by an extra time just to check in if we were late getting home. We will definitely have him watch our dogs again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Angela is the real deal. If you want someone who is flexible, attentive, and treats your fur babies like royalty, look no further. She was quick with questions/responses, arrived and left our home on time, and met the social and health needs of our dogs brilliantly. We felt at such ease having her with them when we couldn't be, and we can't wait to book her again!”
“Thanks Ariel! We'd be happy to use you again as our cat sitter as long as you're still available! Ariel took lots of videos and photos of our cats, even though they mostly hid from her - she was still able to find them. She also was able to operate and clean out our Litter Robot and have them tuna wet food treats. We were on a very long vacation and this brought a ton of peace of mind to us.”
“Nicole is the absolute best!! She's checked on our cat (and dog) numerous times and goes beyond the call of duty. I always feel at ease when we leave for vacation that she's going to take great care of my girl. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Once again, Kaylee did an excellent job with our dogs and cats. She kept us updated every day with notes and photos, was proactive in her care, and kept our house tidy. All of our pets seemed super happy to see her in the photos she sent, which tells me that she took great care of them. I highly recommend Kaylee and will be using her services again.”

About: While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals has always been something I’ve genuinely enjoyed.I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow care instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident while they’re away, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s needs. Schedule I’m currently a college student and attend classes during the mornings. Because I don’t have another job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet’s care. How I Care for Pets As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. I currently care for dogs, cats, and a rabbit, so I’m familiar with the different needs and routines each species requires. When caring for clients’ pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully because I know every pet has unique preferences and needs. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“I just returned home last night and was ecstatic to find my three young cats so happy and well-cared for. I was away for 2 weeks, and Jordan came every other day. Finding someone who would not only meet my cats basic needs but also socialize them for 30 minutes is a treasure. Jordan sent pictures of every visit. I can tell my cats were not lonely, and seeing the pictures throughout my travels made me feel so comfortable. Jordan even made sure my home was in tidy order, which I greatly appreciate. I will definitely use Jordan again. I trust her with my key and my home and kittens. I recommend her to anyone who wants special care for their furry friends. And Jordan is great with cats! Not everyone can get one of my cats out to play, and Jordan had all of them out and enjoying themselves. Thank you to Jordan!”

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 Watertown 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.
