“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
“Maeve is upbeat, confident and friendly. She was kind and attentive to both of our pets. I appreciated the photos and multiple communications during the day. Maeve followed the plan to a “T”. I hope that she is available every time we need a pet sitter!”
About: You know that person animals just gravitate towards because they feel calm and safe? That’s me. A lifelong dog and cat owner, I've also fostered kittens and puppies for 10 yrs through the Animal Rescue League in Boston. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and ages. I have a Great Pyrenees mix and used to have a Bernese, and was a longtime foster of a pair of chihuahua mixes. I've bottle-fed kittens, and given senior pets their meds (and slow walks). I’m an active mom of 5 grown human kids, so patience is my middle name. Professionally, I’m a work-from-home journalist (higher ed, travel) and happy to work from yours if your animal wants more companionship than just a drop-in visit. See photos of kittens, puppies and bunnies serving as editorial muse beside my laptop. I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule, can do drop in visits or even work from your home for the day while hanging out with your pet(s). Let's talk about your needs! Animals know the people they can trust -- they might be entertained by pizzaz, but they sidle up against the calm, patient, consistent presence. That's me. I'm a mom of 5 nearly-grown children, so I understand order and systems, and will be a quick learner of yours.
About: Animals in my care are given extra TLC. I’ve also taken care of each my personal pets with the upmost love and care, especially in end of life stage. I’ve also been experience in giving meds to pets by mouth. Working in the school system I get more time off. Coming home a strict routine of being fed and going for a walk is followed with play time and then another walk before bed time. In my home I provide safe and pet friendly space where they can be calm and relaxed. When going for walks pets are always leashed and equipped with water jug for when they are thirsty. I always provide a nice comfy bed for them to sleep and toys for them to play with. I allow the comfort of animals to also sleep with me in the bed or be on the couches, whatever makes them feel comfortable and at home. For the summer time, I do open our pool so doggie vests are provided along with supervision while in the pool.

“Jessica and Christopher were both wonderful to our pups while we were on vacation! When we had a last minute emergency that altered our plans, they were super flexible with us and ensured that our dogs were cared for. We would not hesitate to use them again!”
“Chris was wonderful. Responded at the last minute, supported watching our babies with minimum guidance and was attentive to our babies. I would highly recommend Chris!!! THANK YOU CHRIS”

“Tara is so sweet and kind to our kitties! She hung out with them and gave them lots of good pets and attention I can tell that she’s spent time there because they seemed calm when I got home. I highly recommend Tara!”
“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”
“Adriana was WONDERFUL. I was nervous leaving four shy cats and a 14 year old dog for three days, but she put my mind at ease by being on time, sending informative rover cards, and providing great care (even to the one cat who’s SO shy she never even saw him.) You’ve got to be good to care for an invisible cat but she did it!”

“Maria was wonderful...took great care of my cat. It was so nice to be away for a week and have the confidence that all was well at my house and with my cat. Signing up with Rover was super easy, the price is fair and I had excellent service. Extremely happy with Maria and my first Rover experience!”
About: My career training makes me hyper aware of my clients needs whether they be human or animal. I can meet them where they are physically and mentally and cater to their needs. My work is flexible so my schedule can fit your pet's routine. I typically do my workout in the early morning which leaves the remainder of the dedicated to your pet's priorities. When I'm with your pet/s they are my priority whether it's feeding, walking, playing or just cuddling. I love animals but can't have them because of my husband's health issues. Yours is the best I can do.
About: I’ve had my own dog, Lily, for 12 years—she’s been with me since she was just 2 months old. Caring for her throughout every stage of life has given me hands on experience with everything from puppy training to adult dog care. I genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable with their different needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for several families in my neighborhood. I’m now looking to continue dog sitting over the summer before starting my career as a Physician Assistant in the fall. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I look after. This summer I am only working in the morning on Saturdays and afternoon on Sundays, making my schedule free and flexible for your pet’s needs! I am expected to start my full time job in September, but I am happy to continue dog sitting for you when time allows : ) I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate use, and any special needs or medications. I understand that every dog is different and has individualized needs, and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Granby stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

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