About: My husband and I love animals, and although we don’t currently have a pet of our own we’ve been watching dogs for friends and family for as long as we can remember. I work from home, which allows me to give your dog plenty of care and attention throughout the day. We live in an apartment with one flight of indoor stairs. When we need to step out, we do have an indoor security camera that allows us to keep an eye on your pup and check in on them while we’re away. We provide a safe, loving, and pet-friendly home where your furry friend can feel comfortable and happy. I’m experienced caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need extra comfort. Every visiting pet is treated like family, with love, care, and attention, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I only host multiple dogs together when they come from the same household, so your pup(s) will never be boarded with unfamiliar dogs.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Growing up, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors trusted to pet sit, and that’s continued into adulthood. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands on experience caring for multiple dogs, understanding different temperaments, and maintaining a safe, structured environment. I have experience with large breeds and am comfortable handling big dogs, as well as administering medication when needed. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Because I build pet care into my daily routine, I’m able to stay attentive, stick to your pet’s schedule, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, structured home environment and intentionally care for only up to two families at a time, allowing every dog to receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I offer complimentary meet and greets before every boarding stay so we can get to know each other, discuss your pup’s routine, and make sure we’re the perfect fit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. Your pup will enjoy supervised playtime in my spacious backyard, walks, enrichment, plenty of love and attention, and a calm home environment. If they get muddy or messy during their stay, I’m happy to give them a bath with your permission. I provide a clean XL crate and cozy dog bed for dogs that are comfortable using one, but I understand every dog has a different routine. If your pup normally sleeps in bed and you’re comfortable with it, they’re welcome to snuggle up with me at night. My goal is to make every guest feel as safe, loved, and at home as possible. You’ll receive photo updates throughout the day, plus a bedtime photo each evening so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and well cared for. If I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I’ll contact you right away.
“I could not be more happy that it was Emily!!!!! The fact Falcon even came out speaks volumes! Hes scared of his own shadow. 😂 The pics were just awesome!!! I am over the moon happy with the service and told everyone on FB. Other cat owners felt bad they didnt do that for their cat babies! I would give her a 100 on a scale of 1-10! 😁”
“Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. Lucy is always happy and well cared for after every visit. We really appreciate the updates and the peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have an American Staffordshire terrier that is 10 years old that I have raised since she was 1-years old. I house sit for a 10-year-old dog named Aiden. I regularly take care of my dog named Luna. I give her food, medication and water every day and take her for walks to poop and pee. I take care of my pets by providing them everything that they need from food, medication, walks and entertainment. I take good care of them.
About: I’m a hardworking and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets and pet sitting in the past, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Dogs bring so much joy into life, and I’d love to bring a little joy into theirs while you’re away. I enjoy running and taking long walks, so if your dog loves exercise, I’d be more than happy to join them. Every dog deserves love, no matter their age, and it would be my pleasure to care for them. Cats, with their calm and unique personalities, hold a special place in my heart too. I’ll make sure your cats feel loved, respected, and cared for while you’re away. Thank you for considering me to look after your furry family members! I currently on a teacher on summer break and have open availability! So take that mid week trip to Disney or to a water park! I will respect the space that I am in. This is your pets territory so I will ensure that it is well respected. Making sure they feel comfortable and safe is my number one priority.
“Anastasiia's quick response for a last minute booking helped us feel at ease leaving for our trip out of state. She warmed up to our friendly cat easily and provided pictures daily of them playing. We will definitely be calling her again. Thank you for loving on Lucille!”
“We had Rebecca come every other day to take care of our cat, Dora. Besides checking on food and water and scooping out the litter box, she let Dora out on our screened-in lanai where she gave Dora plenty of affection and played with her. Part of the time Dora sat on her lap and they "chilled" together. Rebecca sent plenty of pictures during her visits. We also have a large dog, Ellie, whom Rebecca did not take care of but did meet and interact with on two occasions. She expressed to me her love of dogs and knew just where to scratch and pet Ellie.”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She has such amazing experience working with cats. My cat, Luna, had gotten a cut on her paw and I had to rush her to the vet before I left for vacation. Jennifer made sure to pay special attention to Luna to make sure she wasn’t limping or hurt. My cats were a little shy around her at first but they warmed up to her. I’ll absolutely hire Jennifer again!”
“Lana took excellent care of our Molly while we were traveling, sending us frequent updates, pictures and making sure she was getting her meds as needed. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Excellent excellent excellent! Deanna provided great communication and photos! WWE are so wry happy to welcome Deanna into our family- she made our time away enjoyable knowing she was well taken care of!!”
“Donna was great!! She was in constant communication and sent pics of my pup whike I was away. This was my first time away from my dog and Donna eased my anxiety. I'll definitely book with her again”

“I couldn’t be happier with Caitlyn’s care for my dog, Stan. She’s been consistently reliable and goes above and beyond during her visits. Whether it’s walking or just spending time with him, I can tell Stan is always excited to see her. She keeps me updated with detailed notes and photos after every visit, which gives me peace of mind. Caitlyn is friendly, professional, and truly loves what she does. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker/sitter!”
“Melissa is top notch. Very responsive and very kind. She politely told me she had another pet sitting obligation booked but was able to stop by afterwards which worked even better for me. My boy is older and does not walk stairs real well and she boosted him up the stairs from behind as well. Absolutely everything you hope for when you come on Rover. 5 stars would not be enough. Thank you Melissa!!”

We had a great experience with Gracie caring for our three cats. She was trustworthy, responsible, and very attentive throughout the entire stay. We appreciated the updates and could tell our cats were well cared for and comfortable while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such reliable hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
