“I think Luna absolutely has a new favorite sitter! Kelly was so great and attentive every day and this is probably theost comfortable and happy Luna has been after a trip 🤍”
About: I’ve always been the designated animal lover in my family and the person everyone calls when they need a trusted pet sitter. I’ve cared for dogs for a week at a time on many occasions, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility that comes with extended care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I currently work two jobs, but I often have free evenings and pockets of availability throughout my week. I’d love to use that extra time doing something I genuinely enjoy! Whether you’re working late, have plans after work, or simply need someone to stop by and let your dog out, I’m happy to help I know how important it is to feel comfortable with someone caring for your pet in your own home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pet safe. I’ll treat your home with respect and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.
“Sandra took fantastic care of my kitty while we were away! She was also great at communicating, and went above and beyond to make sure our pet and our home was safe. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much!!”
“Samantha is always so conscientious and we can tell by the photos that our kitties love her visits and they are well-cared for. We are so happy to have found Samantha as our cat (and fish) sitter.”
“This was our second time booking Danelle and she was great again! She was timely and kept Ivy entertained while we were away during the evening. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!”
“Kandice was a great pet sitter for our two cats. Her communication was phenomenal and you can tell she has a real heart for animals. It was our 1st experience with Kandice and we would definitely book her again! Highly recommend !!”
“Thanks again for your kind loving care of Alex, Angel and River. You provide such peace of mind knowing you are watching out for all their needs including emotional..TRULY APPRECIATED”
About: I have taken care of dogs since a very young age.. I am experienced with dogs I’ve worked with dogs in the past as well as worked at doggy daycares/vets in the past. My schedule is relatively open so even if you need someone to come and walk the dog a couple times a day I can do that! I have experience with giving dogs medication and am able to help out with that as well. I watched a few dogs in the past that were seniors and needed special care with meds so I have experience in that category:) at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..
“Angie has pet sat for my cat Bubba many times over the past year and I feel incredibly lucky to have her to call on whenever I need help!! She is very flexible, especially when a flight has been cancelled and my return home has changed! Always willing to help!!! Angie is the best!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for 40 years. All ages, breeds, temperaments. I respect your routine and would love to help you and your pets have a stress free day, I’m currently retired and working part-time but my hours are very flexible! I can easily fit a walk or visit in any weekday. Let me help! I have two dogs and two cats so in my home care is not available. I’m happy to visit your home for cat care or walk your pups!
“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”
About: Hello people of Rover! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, guinea pigs and a hamster. I’m still very passionate about animals. I have corgis and still keep guinea pigs at home. When I was younger, I volunteered at HAWS as a cat socializer and Elmbrook Humane Society as a small animal socializer and cage cleaner. I also used to pet sit for my neighbor’s cats and have cared for animals while family was on vacation. I’d love to connect, and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I can provide drop-in and walk service in the mornings, mid-day period and later evenings. I do pet sitting around a second shift job. I'm available all days of the week. We have 3 dogs at home, whom we provide with exercise, affection, high quality food and grooming care. We also keep guinea pigs, and I have had a hamster in the past. I used to live with and care for cats, as well as watching cats for neighbors.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age in my own home and have dog sat for several families as a teenager and adult. I like to play and walk dogs and take care of their needs. I do have experience with puppies. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and fish. I work from home, so I have some flexibility/availability during the morning and afternoon and am free in the evenings. I am also available most weekends. I love getting to know dogs and other pets. I will learn from the owners about their pets and observe their behaviors to see works best for them in our interactions.
About: I have had dogs and helped to care for them for my entire life. Including maintaining proper feeding schedule, walking and exercising dogs, playing with dogs, comforting dogs, etc… I frequently dogsit (including overnight stays) for my nephew puppy (Theo, mini bernedoodle), who is now 11 months old but have been helping with him since we was 2 months old. I will be getting my own mini dachshund puppy in August! :) I currently work full-time as a nanny. However, my schedule will be changing in August, as I will be opening my own coffee shop in September. With my current schedule, I would be available early mornings (before 7/8am usually) or evenings (after 4pm usually). I am wide open on weekends. In August, my schedule will remain the same, though I will also be wide open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In September, when the coffee shop opens I will be flexible Saturday-Monday and available after 2:30pm the rest of the week. In your home, I will always follow your established rules for your pet. I am comfortable using harness and leash, overseeing pets in a fenced in area, walking dogs, administering medications, feeding dogs, playing, etc.
“Suzanne did a fantastic job caring for our three cats. We have a special-needs cat who needs a pill every visit. Pilling a cat can be challenging, and I fully expected that there would be missed doses, but Suzanne managed to give her all her meds, as well as lots of pets and we received adorable photos. It was wonderful to get updates after every visit, and I never had to worry about how they were doing.”

Kandice did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Roy and Ewok both said that she was very nice to them, scooped their litter boxes, fed them and gave them snacks. And Ewok got pets. Kandice sent me updates on their activities and pictures of them every day.
We are so happy to have Ashley to care for Butters! She goes above and beyond to communicate, and share updates while we are gone. He is a very active and social cat, Ashley ensures he gets the stimulation he needs while we are out of town. We have such peace of mind coming home to a well taken care of kitty!
Jen was great. I had her come by to check on our cats and take care of the autolitter boxes because my elderly Mom could not do that. She was completely understanding and did a great job. We're going out of town again this week and Jen will be back again. Thanks Jen!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .

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.
