“Brandy was terrific. My cat immediately warmed up to her, which is uncommon and I truly appreciate that Brandy helped me out over a holiday weekend. She provided great pictures and updates and everything was in perfect shape!”
“Katie checked on our kitties while we were traveling. She took the time to play with our big boy and make sure my little girl hadn't locked herself in the bathroom cabinets. Super grateful! I enjoyed the adorable photos of my big ginger boy while I was away.”
“Courtney helped me and my pets through an unusually stressful period when I had to be apart from them. Her care and the detailed Rover cards and messages meant the world to me and my cats!”
“WOW, Missy is one of the best sitters here on River, hands down. My sweet kitty Louie doesn’t travel well and is better being left at home, so we had to leave him for Thanksgiving. Missy gave Louie the time and attention he needed, and was very gentle and warm with him. She played with him, made sure his litter box was clean, monitored his water, and gave him plenty of pets. She was communicative and gave the best updates, noting Louie’s little quirks. Also as a note, on her way out she found a lost dog in our neighborhood and literally took her to check her microchip and also proceeded to put up flyers. You can tell Missy is a big animal lover and has a big heart. We’d love to have her watch Louie and his brother any time we are out of town again, and couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I'm Kernix — a military spouse, dog lover, and proud chocolate Lab mom to Josie! I know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and stress-free place for your pup while you're away. My goal is to provide a true "home away from home" experience with lots of attention, structure, and affection. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, we had pugs, chihuahuas, bunnies, and hamsters, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. We moved to South Carolina in October 2025 after previously being stationed in Washington. My husband is originally from Myrtle Beach, SC, and we've loved settling into the Summerville community and making it feel like home. 1 Family at a Time for Boarding: I only accept one client family at a time for overnight boarding, so your pup will receive personalized care without the stress of a crowded boarding environment. About Our Home & Routine: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with a fully fenced backyard where pups can safely play, sniff, and explore. Dogs enjoy regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, belly rubs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also closely follow feeding routines and medication schedules when needed. Meet Josie: We also have our sweet chocolate Lab,Josie! She is extremely friendly and social and has done wonderfully with every person, dog, and cat she has met so far. Josie enjoys meeting friendly dogs and would love a playmate during your pup's stay. Meet & Greets & Communication: I highly encourage meet & greets before boarding, especially for first-time stays. I want both you and your pup to feel comfortable and confident before booking. Communication is very important to me, and I always do my best to stay flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Boarding & Doggy daycare: Doggy day care pickup is by 5 PM. If pickup is needed after 5 PM, please book boarding instead so I can properly accommodate your pup's evening and overnight care routine. Boarding Requirements: To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, I currently only accept: • Dogs that are reasonably potty trained • Friendly dogs that do well around people and other dogs • Dogs that are up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention Because I provide care in my personal home, I may not be the best fit for dogs with severe separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, or frequent indoor accidents.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with them. I’m comfortable providing walks, baths, playtime, and lots of love and attention I work full-time during the week, but I’m typically available after 6 PM and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide regular, reliable care for cats during the week, including evening visits. For dogs, I’m primarily available on weekends when I can give them the time and attention they need. I live in a spacious 3-bedroom home where it’s just me, so your pet will have plenty of room to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have space for all their necessities, and there’s plenty of room to play. I also have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can safely run and play, and I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s perfect for walks.
“Hayley was the best pet sitter I have ever had. She was polite, professional, and has a genuine love for animals. Our 2 cats were comfortable hanging out with her. (Even out scaredy cat that usually hides was ok!) I would hire her again!”
“Felt very heard and listened to when it came to what I wanted for my cats. Was very respectful of my home and everything. I have a cat who has had a lot of problems in the past but she handled everything with grace and made my feel comfortable about leaving my babies. Overall, AMAZING!”
About: I have 3 cats of my own; Thumper, Cow, and Muffin. I have one dog named Oso, as well. One bearded dragon named Avery and two goldfish, Olivia and Elliot. I currently work a part time job until about 3pm, Monday through Thursday. Friday though Sunday I am available anytime to come visit your babies or stop in and care for. I can come play, feed, walk, or just visit and love your fur babies anytime after 3pm during the week and anytime on weekends! I will follow your directions carefully and exactly as you instruct me to care for your animal. I very much want them and you and myself to be comfortable and happy.
“Dawn is great! very friendly and approachable. she's very flexible too. I originally got the dates wrong and she had no problem rescheduling for the correct dates. she even offered me half off the rate that Rover initially suggested. Will 100% be booking her again!”
About: I have a 2-year-old Great Dane and a senior dog at home, I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! With my experience at home, and 6 years as a behavior therapist, I have niche skills that allow me to give the best care to your pets. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with walks and playtime for my own dogs. I am comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means walks, feeding, play, medicine, or snuggle time. I provide attentive and loving care to each pet and home encountered. I keep my own dogs on a strict schedule, and am very dedicated to doing the same with your pets! I am organized and pride myself in my attention to detail, gentleness, and care for pets and their environments.
“Love having Megan babysit my cat! She sends good pictures and thorough reports. I really feel like my pet is loved while I'm away! Would HIGHLY recommend Megan as a pet sitter.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and high-drive breeds. I work professionally with dogs and have experience with obedience, crate training, leash manners, enrichment, and structured routines. Safety, consistency, and individualized care are always my priority. Pet care is built into my daily routine. My schedule revolves around feedings, potty breaks, walks, training, enrichment, and structured rest so each dog gets consistent, individualized care throughout the day. Dogs in my home are cared for in a clean, structured environment with supervised yard time, walks, enrichment, and crate-and-rotate management when needed. Dogs are safely crated when unsupervised and routines are adjusted to each dog's needs, comfort, and temperament.
About: I have had pets my entire life and have been a pet parent since 1995. I've had the privilege of having both dogs and cats in our home. And I have also previously pet sat for birds and the occassional pot-bellied pig. I have previously given both cats and dogs oral meds (both liquid and pill form), injectable meds and subcutaneous fluids when needed. With our family pets I have experienced puppy & kittenhood all the way through the elder years. So I am well versed on the needs for each individual age. I do work, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me time during the day and night to take care of your furry kiddos. Whether that entails walks, pop in visits or overnight stays... my goal is to help your fur babies stay happy and calm while you are away. At this point I only offer sitting in your home as my two kitty kiddos tend to be skittish with new faces human or animal. I would never want to stress them out and/or add any stress to your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wide Awake
Jennifer is awesome! Her visits are extremely thorough and she is very diligent about making sure everything is taken care of while also making my pet feel comfortable and taken care of. I love how many photos she takes every time she visits and her daily visit journals are always super detailed. I cannot recommend her enough!
Katie was very reliable and consistent. Provided great updates and photos so I never wondered how our kitty was doing while we were gone. She was very kind and caring and our super shy kitty warmed up to her quickly which is very impressive on its own. We will absolutely book with Katie again and won’t hesitate to recommend her to others.
My pet sitter was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly loving with my cats, left my home spotless, and kept great communication the entire time. She sent me plenty of photos, and she took the time to play with my kitties and give them lots of affection, which made me feel very at ease while I was away. I would 100% recommend her, and I’d love for her to take care of my kitties again in the future. Thank you so much! 🐾💛

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 .

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.
