“Our two cats do not get along. Despite their territorial spats, Patrick has somehow managed to get our trouble makers to play nice! I am astounded to come home from our trips to find the cats as best buddies. Our home is automated for food and water, but the mental stimulation from quality playtime is something you cannot simulate from a machine. According to our two cats, they give him 4 paws up! You can expect from Patrick a sitter that follows directions, thoughtful comments, excellent photos, and reliable availability. Thank you!”
“Caresse is a pro, she went above and beyond with my senior pup Etta. I really appreciated the custom touches like watering my newly planted garden plants and giving medication as I described. And she worked me into her schedule last minute on a holiday weekend. I came home to a happy girl!”
“Mackenzie took such great care of our two fur babies while were gone. She even took in our mail and rotated some lights on the house for us- we didn’t even need to ask ❤️ 10/10 would recommend and rebook!”
“Wendy offered to meet with me prior to her visits which was great! She took cute photos during her visits and checked in with me as I requested. I would definitely book her again!”
“Jade was extremely professional, friendly, and took great care of my cat during a drop-in visit. I was especially impressed with the detailed notes she left for me after the visit and the multiple cute photos that made me certain my cat was happy and well taken care of. Looking forward to booking with Jade again in the future!”
About: I've spent a lot of my life taking care of animals, particularly cats. I have a Zoology degree and experience with developing commands and various training exercises as well as handling proper food intake and oral medicine intake. I am available every day, most of the day! It will vary per-day but as long as I have a two-day notice I should absolutely be available! I will be vigilant with your pets, making sure that they get enough attention and do not get into anything that they shouldn't. If there are any specific rules that you have in your home or for your pet I will make sure to follow them to ensure a safe and happy experience for your animals!
“We were so appreciative of Kat's kindness and patience while watching our kitten, Penelope. Penelope is afraid of new people but we felt completely comfortable leaving her under Kat's care because of Kat's love and understanding for animals. Kat kept us in the know with photos and updates which we greatly appreciated. We will be using Kat's pet sitting services in the future. She is a delightful person and was incredibly kind towards our kitten. Thank you Kat for watching our Penelope! You showed great adaptability as Penelope adjusted her comfort level with you.”
“Rebecca did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog Higgins. She did everything we asked and more! I highly recommend her for all your dog sitting/walking/doggy care needs!”
“She took great care of my dogs and I really appreciate her coming all the way out to my house in the country to check on them. It helped me a lot! Will definitely use her again when needed!”
“I am so thankful I found Rover. Amanda was so dependable and treated my cats very well. This was the first time I ever left my cats. It was because of Amanda that I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my precious babies at home. Thank you Rover and thank you Amanda!! ♡♡♡”
About: I grew up in a household with dogs all my life, including boxers, a labradoodle, and a boston terrier! Family and friends would often rely on me for walking, sitting and bathing their pups. In college, I would spend my free weekends volunteering to walk and care for dogs at the local animal shelter. I now have a best friend of my own, a shepherd mix puppy named Davie! I would be honored to care for your pup, and provide any additional services you may need like walking or a bath! I currently work full time during the week, but can be available in the evenings for a check-in or on the weekends for check-ins or sitting. I have a large park right outside my front door that includes a walking trail and an enclosed dog park for your pup to play! My baby pup Davie does very well with other dogs and would love to play with yours!
“Kaya was an amazing find!! We had family in town and booked with her about two weeks ahead of time. We ended up changing plans and she was so accommodating to switching times. I sooo appreciate her and would definitely use her again!!”
About: I grew up working at my parents dog kennel that was attached to our house. I took care of dogs, cats, birds, and occasionally rodents. I would help my parents scoop the yard, clean the kennels, and walk the dogs since I was 8. I now own a beautiful dog of my own who is the light of my life. For the last three years, I lived with three dogs of varying ages and sizes and helped to administer medications, train, love them equally. I would now love to be a part of your pet's lives too. I currently work part time and will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet's needs as long as the expectations are discussed prior and clearly to ensure a successful sitting experience. I am often told that dogs and cats quickly feel comfortable with me. If they are outgoing, I love to pet and play with them, if they are shy, then I am good at offering interactions while still giving the pet their space.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love helping them stay happy, healthy, and safe. I've raised my own dogs for over 15 years—all from puppies—and have provided pet care for family and friends throughout that time. I've spent years learning canine body language, assessing behavior, and working alongside professional dog trainers. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and understand how to safely and confidently meet their needs during walks and daily care. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, in training, a senior, or has special needs, I'm happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. While I'm not a veterinary professional, I worked in veterinary diagnostics for nearly 10 years, giving me a strong understanding of animal health and behavior. I'm comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, can provide basic first aid if needed, and have experience caring for senior pets and those with medical needs. One of my own dogs struggled with severe anxiety, and through patience, training, and consistency she grew into a calm, happy companion, giving me firsthand experience supporting dogs that need a little extra understanding. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own, following your routines closely so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting on both weekdays and weekends after 10:00 AM. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines or training. During walks, I prioritize your pet's safety by paying close attention to their body language, avoiding situations that may cause stress, and ensuring they're secure at all times. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Because I have a reactive dog at home, I don't offer boarding or doggy daycare. This allows me to give my full attention to your pet while they're comfortable in their own home.
About: I have cared for pups to elderly dogs. I mostly worked with large dogs, and I currently have a Black Mouth Cur and a Boxer mix. We also did have a Doberman. With taking some time off of work, I have weekdays during the day available. I am available most days Monday through Sunday during the days. I utilize treats and leases to make sure your dog is safe with me. I believe in positive reinforce and have been through many dog training classes that use this thinking.
“Tyler took great care of our 2 kitties! We received detailed updates and lots of photos. We really appreciated the care and attention to detail that went into each visit. Thanks, Tyler!”
About: The beautiful atmosphere here at Ranch Itty Bitty provides lots of loving care, safety and walks on quiet country roads. All visitors love it here. I am nearly 100% retired and enjoy spending time with loving animals while their human family spends time away. I work hard to make sure their time is as precious as yours and mine. Since my two sweet pups traveled over the rainbow bridge, I have found joy in caring for pups of other families. While I miss my own, I adore the company of dogs and have found this experience absolutely perfect for my life. I have a big fenced yard if you need boarding services. I am extremely caring, respectful and have oodles of references to let you know you are hiring the best of care for your furry loved ones.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
