“Steven was great with our senior cat. He’s incredibly communicative, kind, and very obviously an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands while we were gone. I highly recommend him.”

Before that, I have experience with my own pups! I've had Chihuahuas, a Husky, and a Jack Russel, so there is truly no task I am unwilling to take on. I am always trying to grow and educate myself on behavior in pets! I currently work at a Pet Servicing company, working weekdays from 10am-3pm. I am fully available on the weekends, and anytime in the morning or nights on weekdays. That leaves plenty of time to hang out and care for your beloved furry family! I am here to take care of your fur babies and absolutely nothing more. Any information you provide me with will be kept solely to myself, and will be 100% safe.

“I hired Jasmin to pet/house sit my orange tabby cat Timmy for 4 days. Jasmin did a wonderful job. Open communication, trustworthy and left the house clean. She provided pics and videos every day. I'm so happy that I found Jasmin as a petsitter.”
“Carol is great! Even with our last minute request, she was able to come by before we left to meet DC, and see where everything is. She sent us great photos and updated us during her visits so we knew DC was in good hands.”
About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!
About: I grew up around animals of all sorts. My grandfather had huge hunting hounds and cats. My other grandfather had a german shepherd who would pull my sled in winter. When I was seven years old I helped my father train our puppy. I love animals they always have a way of making me smile. I’m a stay at home mom to two wonderful children who are both at school. I’d love to take care of your pet with all the spare time I have. I love going on long walks and letting the dog sniff as much as they want. I love throwing the ball for them to chase and I love petting their soft fluffy fur. For my long coat friends I’d love to comb it out and make it shine.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, it has always been a pleasure watching pets for my friends and family and I have two of my own, an Alaskan Malamute and a mixed rescue. I like to bring them out to nature to sniff new places and fun activities. I’ve also volunteered as a foster for the MSPCA, including for puppy litters. After adopting Raven, I completed the MSPCA’s shy dog training to support her as a fearful dog and she has done amazing progress. I have been pet sitting and boarding for years, some of them along my own dogs as I put some pictures below. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and behaviors, including the ones that need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every dog has their own routine and comfort level, and my goal is to get to know them individually to make walks and drop-in visits a safe, positive experience! I work regular business hours usually, but my schedule varies and allows for flexibility throughout the week, especially when planning ahead, my partner also supports our dogs at home. I do my best effort to accommodate different schedules and individual needs. I value clear communication regarding what usually works for your pup, as we know it’s out of the pet’s routine to have someone else tend to them and I want it to be a comfortable and safe experience. I always pay attention to body language, their boundaries and surroundings to create a safe and positive experience. My own dogs are crate-trained and I am comfortable handling multiple dogs on a leash. I follow their established routines and provide owners with many updates as I would like someone handling my pups to do.
About: I've had animals for as long as I can remember, and feel comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule that allows for midday visits and walks, and plenty of TLC. For boarding: I provide a private room with everything they need to ensure comfort and consistency. If you desire to bring items from home to keep your animals more comfortable & in routine, it can be arranged! I currently work from home, and therefore am able to flex my schedule to fit to your pet needs- however, I am out of the house Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for extended periods of time. I live in a quiet neighborhood, but I'm in the city. My apartment is in a multi family home that has with multiple hallways and doors before you can reach the outside. I keep pets in a completely separate area than my own in order to maintain their comfort and safety.
“Thomas was a huge help with Allie. My little girl can be very picky with her food, water and play. Thomas showed her lots of love and consideration. Not to mention his pictures were spot on amazing. I will definitely keep Thomas at the top of the list to call when I have need.”
About: I am happy to spend extra time to help your pet feel cared for and get the exercise they need. I'm experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and rodents (hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs) I recently finished school, and am looking for work. I'm currently available full-time for pet care. Even after I find employment, I plan to continue making time for pet care. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, since my own dog is territorial. My clients' pets are happy to be cared for in surrounding they are familiar with.

I had a great experience working with Alex! She was able to accommodate a short notice request. My pets felt immediately comfortable with her. I appreciated her quick responses to messages and the photos from every visit. I would highly recommend Alex and would work with her again with no hesitation!
Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin 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 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.
