About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.
“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”
About: Hi, I’m Jaclyn. I am one of those avid dog lovers that if I see a pup out, I have to go say hello. A warm, caring, and empathetic person by nature, I would love to be able to assist you in your dog care needs! I currently have two rescues of my own and they are the sweetest. But I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a young girl. Would love to be given the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I currently work as a free lance photographer and make my own hours and I’m a stay at home mama. While the kids are in school and I’m not on a shoot, i have the free time and flexibility to help out with dog walks, feedings, play time…etc! My two dogs are both rescues. They are both so sweet. Both are type B and all vaccines. We have a huge yard for them to run around in!
“We cannot recommend Abigail enough. She is wonderful with our cat. Always sends thoughtful daily updates that truly show how much she loves animals. We are always happy and know that our cat is in the best care with her.”
About: I’ve cared for fish, birds, cats, and dogs in my own home since I was 10 years old — 24 years of reading animal behavior and knowing what every kind of pet needs at every stage of life. Today I’m a federally-credentialed animal handler (USFWS Import License) maintaining a complex multi-species planted aquarium, and by day I own a licensed home services company in Union County. Married with a young son. Your pet gets a calm, attentive walker who never rushes a visit. I live two minutes from downtown Waxhaw and treat every booking like a neighbor helping a neighbor. My evenings open up at 8pm once my family is settled in, which means I’m available for that last walk before bed, the dinner-time check-in, or the after-work visit your dog can’t get from a daytime sitter. Standard availability: Sunday through Saturday, 8–11pm. Weekend afternoons sometimes open — message me. New clients: 4 hours’ advance notice gets you on my calendar, same-day if I’m free. Drop-in visits happen in your home, so my focus is keeping things exactly as you left them. I re-secure every door and gate, follow your written instructions to the letter, send photo updates during each visit, and keep walks on-leash unless you tell me otherwise. As a licensed business owner who runs crews on customer properties every day, treating someone else’s space with care is second nature. Background-checked through Rover, and happy to do a free meet-and-greet before your first booking.
“We ALWAYS choose Gina as our cat sitter as she goes above and beyond caring for and about our pet cat. Our pet loves her and we feel totally at peace being away when Gina is in charge!”
“Brandy was Awesome! She did an amazing job with our three cats and they loved her! Even our most skittish cat was almost feeing out of her hands by the end of our vacation! She provided awesome notes per each visit along with pics and responded promptly to every text. This was the most relaxed I've been with a sitter while away. She is now my go-to cat sitter!”
“Marina did a great job with twice daily drop-ins for 3 cats for 4 days. The cats where all comfortable with her and all went smoothly. She also seems to be a genuinely nice person. She is going to come by for drop-ins for my cats on my next trip as well!”
“Ashlie is wonderful, so caring and the dogs loved her. She took such good care of them and I feel such a relief knowing we have someone who will take care of our pups and love them the same way we do. 10/10 and will definitely hire again! Thank you Ashlie!”
“This was my first time leaving Laila at home and I could not have asked for anyone better! They took amazing care of her and always kept me updated ! I cannot thank them (and Winter) enough! You guys are truly the best! Thank you so much!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for years now and have always loved it since I’m an animal lover at heart. I’ve taken care of everything from high energy pups to bearded dragons! I’m currently working part-time, but i’m always flexible for weekdays. Hopefully I’ll be able to be full time for pets soon! You can always ask me. I currently offer drop-ins and walks! I own a cat with felv who isn’t very fond of other cats or dogs, so I cannot board. Since I have a feline friend who is felv+ i’m very comfortable with administering medications! I always prefer being able to spend as much time with the pets as possible, which I will always be able to provide as many drop-ins as needed!
“First time using Rover and Brittany. She did an initial meet and greet and came by one more time before services started since I was a new customer. Brittany communicated daily and sent pictures. One of my cats needed meds and she did all as requested. Would use her again and do recommend.”
“Not sure how we lucked out with Meghan as we just moved to Waxhaw and didn’t know any pet sitters, but she was amazing with our two older cats. One with special needs! One is shy and hides and she was a hit with him the first day. She gave his brother the meds and insulin shots he needed and sent us lots of adorable pictures while we were away.”
“India is very caring and loves animals. She did a great job taking care of my cat Max. She even left me the cutest picture of him on my counter. What a nice surprise. I will definitely use her again. All of her reviews are true. You don’t have to worry about your pets, they are in good hands.”
“Grace and & Amara did a great job of looking after our girls (3 cats)! It always eases my anxiety to get updates and pictures, which they were regular about providing.”
“Katherine is the best! She sent us pictures and updates of our cats that she took care of over the weekend. She was very communicative and took great care of our fur babies. I would highly recommend!!”
“We’re first time Rover users. So naturally you have nerves leaving your babies. Nikki was so kind, understanding, and efficient with watching our babies! We loved our daily photo update’s and the communication with each feeding! Nikki made our anxiety fade away over our three day trip! Truly can’t thank her enough, can’t wait for our next trip! 🐾♥️”
About: I’m a pet lover. I have been an owner of cats, small & bigs dogs, birds & fish. It’s natural for me to take care of them and to get what they need. I remember that I adopted a mixed Husky who was born with some issues at his back legs. But for me I knew he worth it, to be loved as any other dogs. I’m experienced to handle puppies, to take care different ages & breeds of dogs. Keeping pets active, fed and cared is the most important for me I will take care your dogs like they was mine. And will provided them all my attention to keep them safe, bring more fun & love to make every journey unique until they get back to you.

This was our first time using Ryan and she did everything we asked. Plus, we have three cats, all with medical needs and medication regimes, which she also handled while we were away (for four days). We’re relieved to have someone we can trust with our cats and our home. Thanks Ryan for the help!

Yaphet was incredible. Our 12 year old dog Bree is not easy to work with to begin with and we had just moved so she was extra on edge. He handled her well, gave her the dailies she needed + exercise and was great with our cat Tuft as well at the same time. He was communicative, took photos and updated us as needed. Highly recommend!

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 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.
