“Tara took great care of our kitty Smilla!! :) She even took care to clean up the litter that our girl likes to enthusiastically kick around. So nice to come home to a well fed and content kitty! Thanks so much, Tara!!”
“Alyssa was really responsive and caring with our cat, Medi. I appreciated her detailed notes and updates. Looking forward to Alyssa watching Medi again soon!”
About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
“Great experience! Saiad was attentive, responsive, and took excellent care of Luna. We appreciated the updates and felt confident she was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Jalyne is responsive and very kind! My cat took to her immediately. She goes above and beyond to pay attention to detail and follow any directions requested. I really appreciate that about her. Will be using her again. Thanks Jalyne!”
“Craig was amazing! He helped me out tremendously when I needed a dog sitter last minute for my 5 month old puppy. Not only did he provide me with pictures and details about his visits throughout the week, he also taught my puppy patience when it comes to feeding time and other ways to address her nipping. I would highly recommend Craig and would definitely use him again in the future!”
“I honestly love your visits and from the start I could see that Fumacinha remembered you and was comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to walk him in the visit and be so kind to him. It makes a difference and I always feel at ease even traveling. Thank you”
“Emmily is fantastic. She was on time, super friendly, and took great care of Jake. We received pictures and a full report on his time with her. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I have a Scottish Terrier at home and I've had her for 5 years now. Over the years we've hosted numerous dogs, giving me hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. Additionally, I run a pet care brand (Modern Kindred), which has motivated me to study pet biology and behavior for the last 3 years. This combination of personal experience and professional knowledge allows me to provide informed, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home running my pet wipes brand, so I'm available throughout the day. I only make trips to the post office once a day, but otherwise I'm home with my dog (who is energetic and loves playing with other dogs). This means I can provide consistent attention and supervision for any pets in my care. I create a safe environment by removing any objects that dogs could chew on and only providing durable, indestructible toys with no loose pieces. I always supervise dogs closely and stay in the same room with them to ensure their safety and wellbeing at all times.
“Andrea is a cat lover who took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! I would definitely use her again. My cats seemed to like her and they were very happy when we returned”
About: I’m an animal-lover and proud pawrent of 13 years with experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all kinds of personalities (even the occasional cat). Whether you need frequent walkings, short to long-term sittings, or the occasional drop-in, I’ll make sure that your doggo feels loved, cared for, and most importantly, knows they’re a good girl or boy ❤️. I am currently a student and work part-time at my school during the academic year. In the summertime, I have open availability. During the academic year, I create a flexible schedule allowing for adequate time to focus on pet care. I like to meet dogs where they are at while applying safety awareness. I focus on identifying triggers for reactive furry friends. I also implement safeguards to ensure the security and safety of our furry friends.
“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”
“Jacqueline is not five but six stars! She truly goes above and beyond! She’s not only reliable—sticking to our schedule perfectly for 10 days, even on Christmas, or during a snowstorm, and freezing cold—but also a sweet, pleasant person to deal with. Her excellent communication, updates, and heartwarming cat photos eased our anxiety as first-time users leaving our fur babies. She’s now “our” cat sitter. Highly recommend her! Thank you from the heart.”

About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals since I was a little boy and I've never stopped loving them since! I've had 9 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life with my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I volunteered all 4 years during high school at animal shelters to care for stray/abandoned cats and dogs. All animals bring so much joy to my heart, although I don't have kids of my own yet - I care for all animals as if they were my own children.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Harrison
“I can’t recommend her highly enough! She takes wonderful care of my cats whenever I’m away, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She is easy, breezy, and incredibly kind—always reliable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. My cats are comfortable and happy with her, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and I’m very grateful to have found someone I trust completely. I will definitely continue using her services for future trips!”
Alyssa found out about our cat’s unexpected medical issue while we were traveling and in sleep in a different time zone. Alyssa and Michael used their best judgement to take our cat to the ER, made sure his situation was stable, documented everything, and helped cleaning the mess our cat made in the apartment due to his sickness. They truly treat your pets like their own fur babies and will go above and beyond when it is needed. I recommend them and will book with them again for our cat.
Cynthia is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She truly went above and beyond for my dog Albert. Albert is on five different medications, and Cynthia handled his medication schedule perfectly. During a weekend heat wave, she even came back to turn on the A/C to make sure my pets stayed comfortable. Albert was so happy and relaxed when I got home, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Cynthia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.
Emmily is great! She really cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about pets. She pays attention to detail and is patient. She makes sure my cat eats slowly and gives him the attention and affection he needs! I feel very comfortable leaving my pet knowing she will be cat-sitting him.
Amy did an incredible job taking care of our cat Ash! He was well taken care of and enjoyed spending time with her – Amy was incredibly communicative in letting us know constant updates on how Ash was doing. She even made time to get to know us, Ash, and our home better before our trip. We're incredibly thankful for her help over the holidays!

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 Harrison 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
