“Ella is a great cat sitter. She sent at least a dozen high quality pictures per day, and spent extra time with my cats. The antisocial tortitude loved her on sight, and she patiently won over the other one. I will definitely seek her out the next time I need someone to watch them. 10/10”
“Charlotte did an awesome job with my sensitive/territorial cat! She ensured that Banshee got some play time in, as well as provided updates about meal times. Really appreciated the photos and updates from each visit, I would absolutely recommend!”
“Ashley did drop-in visits for a week for my Boston Terrier while my family was out of town. She was prompt and consistent, sent many photos of my dog, and communicated to us about an issue with our back door so we could address it. I will definitely be using Ashley next time we are away!”
“Daniel's been training Clea (and me) as well as walking her, he's attentive and kind and loving. She's a very sweet dog who means well and learns quickly, but she can get carried away - his presence in her life has made a big, calming difference. Thank you Daniel.”
“This is the second time Zoe has watched my two cats and she does such a great job. Whenever I go on trips I know I’m leaving them in good hands in Zoe’s care. She always sends pictures and I come home to two well-fed and happy cats.”
“Thank you Christine for taking such amazing care of our pup while we were away on a long day trip. We felt so at ease after getting the report cards and photos! So much gratitude!!!”
“Jaime is a very responsible and kind pet-sitter. She took great care of my senior cat while I was away for two weeks. I will definitely ask her to take care of Moustaches in the future.”
“Hazel was an absolute pleasure to book with. My two cats got along great with her! Hazel had quick responses and detailed updates while I was away. My cats were well taken care of; looking forward to booking again in the future”
“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
“I highly recommend Courtney! Smooth communication after the initial request. We both wanted to meet in person, which I appreciated. Courtney was timely, very friendly and immediately bonded with both doggos. Excellent communication during the visits. I would not hesitate to ask Courtney to take care of my pups again!”
“Benjamin was amazing with my cat Pigeon. He's extremely thoughtful, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure my boy was comfortable while I was out of town for the holidays. He communicated every day, sent lots of pictures, and gave my cat the quality human time he very much needs. Pigeon loved hanging with him, and should I need to leave again, I know who to call!”
“Kristy did a great job taking care of our cat. He is high energy and I really appreciated that she took the time to play with him and give him some mental stimulation. She communicated regularly and was always quick to respond if I had questions. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was a child, and I see them as part of the family. I got my first dog when I was eleven, but our house grew and grew with multiple dogs, and I currently help care for my family's six dogs. In addition, my parents and I have fostered dogs together, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, including those who needed extra patience, structure, and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. I have years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, including overnight stays, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving my full affection and attention. Through fostering, I learned how to read dog behavior, help dogs feel safe in unfamiliar situations, and learned to support basic routines and transitions. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to learning each pet's individual needs. I will always take the time to learn their routines, levels of energy, and their own personalities so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved by me while their owners are away. I'm currently a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive to the pets I'm caring for. I'm able to plan my days around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pets will receive consistent care throughout the day. My top priorities are always to create a safe, trusting environment and to ensure a comfortable atmosphere. I make sure all pets feel secure, calm, and loved. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency as needed and possible. In a client's home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I'm very mindful of my surroundings during walks. I also take the time to get to know each pet's personality so I know how to respond appropriately to their needs and comfort levels. Communication is key, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where all pets feel comfortable and cared for, and each owner feels confident they've left their pets in good hands.
“Logan was great! She took care of my cat, Shery, exceptionally well. Shery can be quite needy and a bit shy initially, but Logan managed to make her feel comfortable and attended to all her needs. I highly recommend Logan for anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Victoria did a super job catsitting for us. She was very communicative with questions, our cat seemed to like her (which is unusual!) and we came home to a clean house and happy cat.”
“Sarah was amazing!! She provided wonderful care for my 13-year-old dog, visiting four times a day to walk her, manage her picky eating, and administer daily medication. All while giving her lots of love and snuggles:) Sarah’s proactive updates, photos, and FaceTimes gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the care she showed that my girl was in excellent hands. I highly recommend Sarah’s services to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable sitter! And I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winooski
Clare was absolutely amazing! We've never used Rover.com before and were a bit hesitant. When we reached out to Clare a few weeks before vacation, she was very responsive and asked great questions during our initial meet-and-greet phone call. Even while on vacation, receiving updates and pictures of how our kitties were doing really helped ease the uncertainty. Clare went the extra mile all around - from being consistent with feedings to providing play time when the kitties were receptive and monitoring the amount of food they were eating, given we had just changed over to a new hard food for our senior boy! Thank you so much! We're so appreciative of you, Clare, and will definitely be using your services in the future.
Logan was wonderful with my shy cats! She was punctual and always kept me informed during the drop-ins, and also took the time to try and bond with the cats a bit, which I greatly appreciate. Usually my boys are a little skittish when I first come back from a trip, but this time they were remarkably chill!
One of our cats in particular is very shy, but Anna made friends with both of them in record time. She handled medication with care and sent detailed, thoughtful updates with many photos showing our cats relaxed and happy with her. Very glad to have met her and had her check in on our girls!
Cara was a thoughtful and attentive pet sitter. She paid close and gentle attention to our sensitive (and often hard to read) cat, showing her years of experience with cats and understanding how to interact with even the most grumpy of them. We are grateful to have found her and would recommend her to others!
Kristy took such good care of our kitties when we were away! We had never used Rover before so we were a little skeptical, but Kristy did so amazing and made us feel so much better about having to leave our kitties for the weekend. We will definitely be using her again if we have to go anywhere! Thank you so much!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Winooski stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
