“Debra was absolutely incredible with our cats, we came back to two happy girls who had been well fed, watered and cared for during her visits. A clear communicator and great overall person! Highly recommend!”
About: Thank you for clicking on my profile! I have grown up with all sorts of animals - from kittens to raccoons. I can promise your animal will always be cared for like they are my own ❤️ I will never believe in animal abuse. I stand up for what is right and will always give the animals a voice! If you have any questions, never be afraid to ask! Does your pet have a weird diet? I can work with that? Has your pet been sick but you have a trip planned for out of town? I can take care of them! No matter what, the love and support will always be there in my household. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
About: I love engaging with pups and dogs with love and attention. I'm a firm believer that dogs need exercise and mental stimulation as well as affection. I have a 70 lb samoyed upstate with my family and he requires extensive exercise and playtime or else he will get bored, so I know how important it is to keep the fluffies entertained. My family has also had two cats for the past 10 years and I spent my entire childhood with at least one cat around. I’ve had plenty of experience keeping little fluffs happy and healthy. I am a current student at UCSD and an actress in the San Diego and LA area. Walking and caring for your beautiful fluff babies helps me support my education and career. I love talking about acting so if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask! Without a doubt, I can relieve you of the worry when it comes to balancing your life with that of your beloved pets. While you're busy, I will walk your dogs and watch after them for you. I love to help out in any way I can. Please Note: I am available 24/7 for the summer unless otherwise noted on my calendar. My schedule will change in September when I go back to school. I have a full time job with a schedule that fluctuates through any day of the 7 day week, however, hours are from 10AM-7PM (8PM on Fri/Sat), so my availability for care aligns with most pet’s expectations for meals and exercise. I will take notes during our initial meeting so I can follow your pet’s routine. Most animals are already stressed with their primary caretaker leaving for a trip, so I want to minimize extra stress through meticulous attention to detail in following your schedules and practices.

I’m also used to walking dogs of all sizes big and small. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch or walk your animals!

About: Hey, it’s Katie, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born! I’ve professionally dog and cat sat since 2018. The first dog I ever boarded was an elderly blind dog named Daisy. She sparked my love for taking care of other’s animals, it meant so much to me to see Daisy happy and excited to see me come home, even if her human had to go out of town! I have two dogs, two cats, and two birds currently! I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, special needs dogs, and giving daily medications. Munchkin, my forty pound American Foxhound, hates the rain, has separation anxiety, and has epilepsy so he’s medicated daily. I am a full time student with mostly online classes.

Wonderful experience. Kaylee was always prompt and professional, asked me plenty of questions in the beginning to make sure she understood my pet and what we needed. Checked in on time every day and sent me detailed reports. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

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.

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.
