“First time using Rover, and first time leaving Truffles with anyone outside family. Enjoyed our meet & greet before the day- and throughout the drop-in had lots of photos of things we’d talked about — ‘Forest’ walks, and play showing a very happy puppy-camper, and practical reports. Really made me comfortable as I was away.”
About: I’ve raised and trained my two German shepherd dogs since I was 10, and cared for my senior border collie in her old age. I’ve also watched over and trained family friends dogs :) I’m currently part-time so my schedule is flexible on most days after two p.m, with the exception of Wednesday, which I am free to hang with your dog/cat whenever I’m needed! Schedule may vary :) I would not be able to offer boarding at my home. I believe in honesty being the best policy and should my boarding be requested in your home you will find it just how you left:)
“Colleen has watched our cat numerous times. She is always kind, gives our cat lots of love, and responsive. When we have to go out of town overnight, we are always comforted knowing she will be checking in on our little fur baby. ❤️😸”
“Christy always does such a great job taking care of all of our animals. It is obvious that she cares about each one and they all look forward to her coming. She always leaves everything in perfect shape and goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is well taken care of. She also is very good at communicating with me while we are away. I definitely recommend Christy!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for making sure Bubz gets out to poop and pee! We are so thankful to have found you. He instantly fell in love with Julia. We would recommend her to anyone we know.”
“Lara was absolutely perfect! They took awesome care in both my cats *and* four guinea pigs during their drop in visits. They left me tons of pictures and good notes each day. It was so comforting to know that my babies were in great hands during my trip 😊 I would definitely book again”

“I highly recommend Ashley, she took excellent care of our two kitties showing her experience, knowledge, and love for animals. She took the time to meet us, making sure she understood all my instructions while also getting to know our kitties and what makes them feel comfortable. She is a great communicator and gave us consistent updates with lots of pics. The level of care she showed became obvious when we were met by two calm, happy kitties.”

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.
