About: I'm a mother and a veteran that loves animals! I grew up with dogs, lizards, horses, rabbits and a sugar glider. I have taken care of a lot of different animals growing up. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, ducks, donkey, rabbits, snakes, spiders, goats, horses, ducks, chickens, pigs, sugar gliders, ferrets, fish and even butterflies. I prefer to take care of pets in their homes to make it less stressful on them, but I can host smaller caged pets at my house. On a typical day I will show up to your house and greet your pet(s). Next I will feed them or take them for a walk or whatever is appropriate for that specific animal. Next I will clean up after them including cleaning out cages or fish tanks as needed. If they need to be bathed I can do that as well and before I leave I would make sure that they were completely taken care of. I currently can't have dogs or cats stay overnight, but hopefully that changes soon. As mentioned above I am a mother, if it was ok with the owners my 2 boys might tag along on walks or occasional house visits. If that isn't ok I completely understand as well. I really look forward to taking care of your pets and hopefully making your life easier! I work full-time during the week, but I can stop in on animals in the morning before work, on my lunch break and after work. Tuesdays I work from home, so very flexible. Weekends my schedule is typically open with the exception of a soccer game on Saturdays, but I'm able to spend more time caring for animals. In your home I will follow whatever guidelines given to me to keep your animals safe. I will make sure that before I leave there is nothing they can get into, they can’t escape and are fed.
“Alex goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and home. Fantastic and timely at communicating and sharing photos! When we return our cats are always content and calm, we couldn’t ask for better care! Best cat sitter we’ve ever had!”

“Breezey provided daily updates to us while we were out of state. When our spare key to our home didn't work, she reached out for help. Fortunately, she was then able to enter our home and care for our cat. I highly recommend Breezey.”

About: I've had pets my whole life so going 50+ years. After having some bad experiences from other dog sitters, my son and I decided we could do it better. We know that our 4 dogs are our life and their well being is our top priority. I am retired so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your precious family. There should never be any worries when you leave your pet with someone. I worked in a vet hospital when I was younger and assisted in bathing, walking, feeding animals that were well behaved and not so well behaved. Our goal is to make your life easier knowing that your fur babies are well taken care of. We hope you'll try us out. I have a lot of availability to come and care for your pets. I am available for drop in visits as well as overnight care. We are available to come to your home for visits as well as stay at your place and provide home care. We can provide care at our home but the animal must be ok with other dogs & cats.
About: I've cared for four elderly dogs in those years. My mom's dog with kidney failure and special food requirements. Grandmother's dog with paralyzed back legs needing to be washed now and then when she had potty accidents on herself. My neighbors two dogs one old and one round. The older one was a fragile deer head chihuahua having no teeth. I cut wet food up small enough so she could eat and put her carefully into a sweater to take her potty out in the cold weather. The younger was another chihuahua with bladder problems kept peeing every two hours all over. Currently I'm open from whenever and can come stay with pets during daylight hours if need be.im available all days of the week. I'm open to discussing needed times and hours for care. I care for my pets in cages or rv environment. Currently those pets are staying in my mom's place as where I'm living currently doesn't allow pets. I clean up messes when made and make sure to prevent disasters by cleaning up potential hazards.
“Sierra was responsive, friendly and arrived on time for each of 3 walks we booked. She took good care of our senior dog, sent pictures and was in good communication. Much appreciated!”

“Savannah was awesome taking care of Jack while we were out of town. She did everything expected and then some and as would be expected from anyone letting someone in Their house when they are gone she respected our boundaries. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her for anyone and she would be my first choice for a rebooking.”

“Kris was amazing! He was available for a last minute check in which was super helpful! He was super communicative and flexible, and incredibly responsive the whole time, and made sure our pup got to play outside instead of just in and out. I look forward to the next time, I won't hesitate to rebook!”

“If you need someone who is dependable and thorough, Sarah is definitely the pet sitter for you! We have had her do drop in visits twice a day. Our pets love her. She actively plays with them, makes sure they are fed, fresh water and potty breaks. We trust her in our home and with our pets.”

“Always does a great job and is super reliable with administering her medication. Chai (my cat), is very skittish and yet enjoys her company! Happy to find a reliable person to watch her when I'm away :)”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over six years and have experience with a wide variety of pets. Throughout the years, I’ve owned and cared for many different animals giving me confidence working with animals of all sizes and personalities. My strongest background is with horses, where I’ve spent years handling daily care, feeding, grooming, exercising, and learning to read animal behavior.

I always follow each owner’s care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), walks, and any special routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. While I do not board dogs in my home, I may be able to host cats on a case-by-case basis. I’m also happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through house sitting or drop-in visits, where they can stay relaxed in a familiar environment.

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.
