“Colleen was wonderful! She took care of my dog that has issues being around other dogs. She made sure she was taken care of and kept in her designated area. I will definitely be rebooking with her! ❤️❤️”
“I recently hired Lara to take care of my cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, Lara was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout the time I was gone, Lara provided regular updates, including photos and notes about how my cats were doing. The description was so personalized and clearly showed how much she loved caring for them. I also got a personalized Mother’s Day card with my kitties on the card which was an icing on the cake. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that my cats were in such capable and caring hands. I look forward to working with Lara again in future. Thank you Lara.”
“Cali and Skylar were amazing. One of our pups is nervous around strangers and they were okay with taking some time to get to know him and executed the care plan perfectly. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We were visiting in Wausau for a few days and on a last minute basis needed to find someone to check in on our dog Josie and take her out for a walk. Kayla was great! Super responsive and communicative. She sent us a few photos to ensure we could see that all was well with Josie. We would have no hesitation to book again.”
“Christy is a wonderful sitter. Our pets warmed up to her immediately. We felt completely comfortable with her watching our pets. She seems very knowledgeable about dog behavior. She was very flexible with the schedule when we needed to adjust the boarding pickup time. We will definitely consider Christy in the future for our pets.”
“Jennifer is great! She took great care of my cat and kept me in the loop on everything going on at home while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter while they are away.”

About: I grew up with a variety of pets, and I thoroughly love all kinds of animals! My family had a dog about 19years, and we took care of him from puppy years to old age. I have my own dog, Roxy a collie mix, who I raised by myself from 4mo old and she has learned so much! I am a travel nurse so I’m not from the area and I am free any day that I’m not working! I typically do 3 - 12hr night shifts. Since I am not from the area I cannot take animals into my own place, but I am very flexible and willing to accommodate any way that is needed for you and your pet's needs.
“This is the first time using Rover and Cassidy was wonderful at calming out nerves.

I will definitely be requesting Cassidy for additional drop ins in the future!”

About: We've been taking care of select dogs for many years for friends and family, knowing that dog owners tend to worry about their pets when they're away and want someone who understands that and will care for their pets as they would. we've always had dogs until recently, I also photograph dogs for fun. We often board a dog who has seizures and requires medication and have watched other unusual dogs including puppies and dogs still healing from surgery. For many years we volunteered at the local humane society. We have a fenced in yard that our late beagle mix of 18 years regularly tried to escape and repeatedly failed. Dogs in our home are considered guests and are treated as such. I currently work from home, so letting dogs out regularly and giving regular attention is no problem at all. I'm done with work in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time to get dogs out for exercise and socializing. Dorothy, my wife, also has plenty of daytime open for play time and extra loving. I work from home and regularly take play breaks, Dorothy, my wife is home most days and offers lots of love. We try to get to the dog park now and then on the weekends. We have a modest fenced in back yard with a wooded lot behind us, I walk dogs regularly in several areas. We keep also keep a toybox full of dog toys :-)
“We were very pleased with the care Colleen gave our puppy. She fed walked and played with her. We especially enjoyed the pictures and video she sent us of the puppy. She is reliable and trustworthy. We hope she is available the next time we need someone.”
“Syd was absolutely phenomenal with our 2 dogs. One is very energetic and walks well on-leash, the other is older and just loves-love. Myself and both pups were very happy with her services.”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She was caring and a fabulous sitter! I completely trusted her within our home. She did everything we asked and sent us daily pictures. I would definitely hire her again!!!!!”
“Rhonda took very good care of our dogs Rex and Gus while we were out of town. Her visit was timely and she took care of feeding and potty them as instructed. We enjoyed the photos that she sent. Rex and Gus looked very happy. We would highly recommend Rhonda to care for your pets.”
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 3 years old. Cats, dogs, birds, ferrets gerbils and as an adult horses cows chickens although I'm assuming you're not going to be dropping off any of those I am pretty much home anytime and available to watch animals day or night. I am self employed as a farmer during the summer but off during the wonter I have a newly updated 100-year-old home with two rooms that kitties can stay in if they are shy and don't play well with other cats. Dogs I keep with me at all times. I

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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
