“Toni took great care of our cat! We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures and upon return the house looked great! We would definitely recommend Toni and plan to use her services in the future. Thanks again Toni!”
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote Monday - Wednesday. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park
“Jeannette took so much time to care for Kingsley, our older dog. He was happy to see her, and she gave us great updates on his care while we were out of town. Jeannette was clearly patient and so kind to our boy. Thank you!!”
“Jordana connected with my kitty right away and took great care of her. She is very dependable, takes great pictures to share with me and handles the feeding, playing and litter box with love. Highly recommend her for your pet care!”
“Colleen did an amazing job watching my kitties while I was away. She was a great communicator and provided me with updates. She took care of everything as expected and met all my expectations. I would definitely recommend Colleen and plan to book her again in the future! :)”
“Joseph was very professional and fully capable of caring for my precious Pittie in my absence. I was very worried at first as this was my first time but Joseph made sure to send me updates (pictures & videos) to keep me in the loop during time of care. I would highly recommend his services and will be utilizing his services as well in the future. My dog bonded with him very early on which made it much easier for all of us. Kudos Joseph!”
“Olivia is the best! My bully girl really loves her bc she's so gentle and friendly. Its obvious how much attention she give her while she's in my home and I feel perfectly comfortable with her. She always has very detailed reports of her visits and I look forward to all the pictures she takes during them as well:)”
“Stephanie was my first pet sitter with Rover, and I was really apprehensive about leaving my cat for 2 weeks. Stephanie not only went above and beyond to reassure me, but she was flexible with the booking and checking on my house while I was away. She provided detailed updates with plenty of pictures, followed all instructions, and exceeded expectations. My normally skittish cat took to Stephanie immediately, which I know had to do with Stephanie, because she didn’t come out for anyone else that stopped by the house. I had a wonderful experience, and would definitely request Stephanie for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Christa was a life saver. I can never fully enjoy my vacations because I think about my little guys alone in a boarding facility. I have a special needs dachshund named Maui. She's paralyzed in her back end and needs her bladder manually expressed. Very few boarding facilities will accept her. Christa came to our home three times per day, loved on, played with and cared for our three dogs and our parrot. I've never come home from a trip and found my dogs so happy and relaxed and clean. Christa went above and beyond.”
“Mary took wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Archie, for an extended period, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care she provided. She arrived on time each day and shared plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Mary and would absolutely use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is the calm, safe, and loving environment I provide for every pet I care for. Animals naturally tend to feel comfortable around me, and I take pride in building trust with them through patience, attention, and affection. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, energy level, and needs so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that’s active playtime, relaxing cuddles, or simply keeping them company and making them feel loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home as an online tutor. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets attention before, after, and in between tutoring sessions throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means relaxing indoors with cuddles and companionship or getting outside for walks, playtime, fresh air, and exercise. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. When outdoors, I stay very aware of our surroundings and communicate carefully with others before allowing any interactions with people or other animals. I always prioritize safe walks, playtime, and exercise. Indoors, I make sure the environment is clean and pet-safe by keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and enjoying their time with me. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so pets feel safe, cared for, and at home while their owners are away.

“Alexandra is amazing. It is so obvious that she is an animal lover. We felt confident in leaving her with our animals and trusted her completely in our home. Alexandra sent photos and updated us often. We came home to happy fur babies. We will definitely be reaching out to Alexandria in the future and you should too.”
“Linda took great care of my kitty Betty, including making sure she got the daily exercise needed. During COVID, we did a video chat to meet which was perfect. I am so grateful she was available and will call her again.”
About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. As a responsible and experienced pet owner, dog walker, and pet sitter with over 10 years of experience, I understand the unique needs of every animal. My background includes several years working at a veterinary clinic, giving me valuable insight into animal health and well-being. I've even volunteered alongside veterinarians in rural Southeast Asia, assisting with vaccination drives for stray dogs and offering free veterinary care to families. You can trust that your furry friends are in loving and capable hands with me. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pets, whether it's a brisk walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. Contact me today to discuss your pet's needs! I offer a range of personalized pet services: whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm here to help! I'm committed to providing compassionate and professional care for your beloved companions. Contact me today to discuss your pet's specific needs and create a customized care plan🫶 As a full-time pet care professional (and former vet tech!), pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized small dogs and specialize in creating a calm, loving environment for both small dogs and gentle giants. I have extensive experience with senior pets, dogs with special needs, and pups who just need a little extra TLC. I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care, with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. I’m rarely away for more than 3–4 hours, so your dog will have a steady, comforting presence and personalized attention all day long. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, your pup will feel safe, cared for, and right at home here. In my home, pets are truly treated like family. I usually only care for one (and no more than three) visiting dogs at a time, in addition to my own friendly resident pups, so each guest gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog has their own cozy private space for naps, meals, and downtime, and a large shared area for safe, supervised play if they enjoy socializing. I remove toys during group play to prevent guarding issues and ensure calm, respectful interactions. Dogs are walked three times a day and also have supervised leashed or tethered access to my private yard for fresh air, sniffing, and sunshine. When the weather is nice, we love lounging on the porch or stretching out on a blanket in the grass together. Whether they’re here for boarding or daycare, your dog will enjoy a calm, structured, and loving environment where their needs and comfort come first. When caring for pets in their own homes, I aim to maintain their usual routines and comforts as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. My experience as a former vet tech gives me confidence in caring for seniors, special needs pets, and administering medications safely and gently.
“Colleen was amazing! Very friendly with our girls and great communication with us while we were out of town. Above and beyond even cleaning up after them in the yard!! Thank you!!”
About: I’ve casually pet sit for friends and family for years. Now that I have more free time, I’d love to take of your cat, dog, or other pet!

I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been babysitting and nannying for years, so I’m very familiar with being left alone in a clients house. I know how to respect someone’s space.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
Carmen is phenomenal! She is communicative, timely, and thoughtful during her visits. One of my kitties is very shy and hides whenever new people arrive. She was patient and sat with her until she came out for some love. Another one of the cats needed medicine for anxiety and she was able to give him his meds without any issue. Our dog loves her as well and is always so excited to see her. I’m so glad we found Carmen!
Christa was phenomenal! The care she gave my Napoleon and Edie was perfect and they loved her! Although I missed them terribly they didn’t miss me…they were happy to snuggle & play with Christa! I will definitely ask Christa to cat sit for me whenever I am out of town! Thanks Christa, we love you!!!😻😻
As always, Kara is the BEST. Our Oli was having some tummy problems when we left and Kara kept an extra close eye on her the whole trip. In fact, for the first time ever, Oli wasn’t even that excited when we got home, as she had such a great time with Kara!! Highly recommend Kara and she is our go to sitter.
We’d like to thank Cole for his amazing help! We were in a difficult situation when our dog sitter disappeared on the very day we left for vacation. I was so nervous my vacation could be ruined. We suddenly had to look for someone new while already away, fully expecting it to be a complete stranger. But thank God, Cole turned out to be an incredible person who immediately stepped in and took great care of our pets. We are beyond grateful! A million thanks!!! Highly recommended - 100%! 🐾
Thank you so much for always showing up for little bear, this weekend I had a major family emergency and you were able to show up next day with no questions asked! You are the bomb and showed up for me and my little boy in such a pivotal time in my life, thank you Alex! <3
I reached out to Madelyn not too long before a long trip because my usual pet sitter was not available. She was fantastic! Lots of cute pictures and videos and some notes. Leia had lots of fun. Would definitely recommend her to friends and will come back in the future.

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.
