“George seemed happy and healthy when we got home! Jim had no problem with George's medication and kept the litter box clean. He fed him on time and figured out the automatic feeder, and checked in each visit. Everything went well!”
“Marena was an absolute gem of a human and helped us in a last minute pinch when we needed someone to watch Brunello!! She was so kind, caring, and Brunello loved her immediately :) she even took the time to ask about everything he needed before watching him and took him on a fun adventure too! I wish we lived closer to hire Marena all the time!! Do not hesitate to book her asap for any dog watching / walking rover services!! She’s the best!”
About: My parents ran a German shepherd dog breeding business when I was growing up. I helped deliver puppies and tend to our 5+ adult dogs and litters of puppies from a young age. Additionally, I've raised and cared for cats throughout my life. In college, I worked seasonally for a dog daycare and boarding facility. Post college, I worked for a dog trainer and took dogs on hikes in the woods. I would be more than happy to hike your dogs if they enjoy that level of exercise. I prefer to organize a meet up with your pets before watching them to get a better understanding of their mannerisms and needs so I can best accommodate. I work part time for a few different companies. My work is flexible if given enough time in advance. Happy to discuss further as needed. I maintain your pups regular routine to the best of my ability. It is important for your pups to have as much "normal" as possible, sometimes it's tough on them for their parents to be away.
“We (and our golden Clara) have known Emerson for several years from York Bark & Play. Clara was over the moon when Emerson arrived to walk her this week. Highly recommend as an experienced, responsible and very caring provider.”
“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”
About: I have had cats my entire life, sometimes multiple cats at once. I bought my own cat when I was 10 and did the best I could to care for her. She lived to be over 20 years old. I have cat sat and dog sat for friends and family members. I have training in behavior therapy and understand the importance of positive praise as well as being consistent with demands. I currently work full time as a child and family therapist. However I work from home two days per week. I am also available most weekends when needed. I have grown up with cats my entire life and currently live with two labs and own a cat of my own. She has had some medical issues and it was very important for me to take care of her during this time. I have experience giving her medication of different forms and make sure her litter box is clean. She always has fresh water and many toys (mostly homemade because that’s her favorite) to play with. She also loves to play hide and seek.
“Cecilia was so caring about my cat, Lily. She had a great time! And her deep expertise was extremely helpful -- I learned about new toys, treats, and care for Lily. Thanks!”
“Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!”

About: I grew up with a giant chocolate lab & a beagle as my childhood dogs & I LOVED them, family of mine had a smalller mini pincher so I also know how smaller dogs can be compared to large dogs. While iI am at university I do have 3 dogs at home 2 rescues & 1 black lab they are my girls! I am a full time student at the local university but i am looking to fit in time with animals not only to enhance my knowledge of their behaviors & just general knowledge it’d also an easy way for me to learn the area & make money! I have administered shot & pill medications to both cats & dogs in the past, love to be active but also chill around & snuggle & LOOOOVE to make healthy bowls/snacks for animals!
About: I’m a patient, caring animal lover who wants your pet to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, follow your care instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos. Whether they love playtime or prefer a little space, I’ll go at their pace. On workdays, I have an hour-long lunch break and usually finish before 5:30 p.m., leaving time for evening walks, feeding, and playtime. Depending on your location, I can also arrange lunchtime check-ins. We’ll confirm visit times beforehand to make sure they fit your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and take time to learn your pet’s routine, needs, and personality. I’ll keep fresh water available, secure doors and gates, and use a leash on walks. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep pet areas tidy, and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been an important part of my life growing up and now as an adult, helping out my friends and family in their time of need…..and now I’m here to take care of your fur baby too! Because of my flexible schedule and local availability, I am able to come take care of your pet on a daily, weekly or as needed basis The safety and care of your fur baby is of utmost importance to me. Diet, exercise, comfort and playfulness with your pet are all things I will ensure are taken care of for your dog and/or cat. I myself have a 3 year old golden retriever and a 13 year old pittie/bulldog mix that I love with all my heart. I’ll show that same kindness, patience and love to your animals as well.
About: From 🦀 to 🐴 (but no seahorse experience, sorry) I adore all creatures great and small, “and your little dog too” as someone who didn’t much like to get wet once said! Experienced, sincere and trustworthy housesitter and petsitter but new to this app, I’ll add some of my favorite fur-tography inevitably but many are passed away and it makes me sad. My undivided attention, I’m doing this because I love to, not because I’m bored. It’s worthwhile to me to be of use. To the old fashioned manners born, to treat another’s home with respect and care, to leave any place indoors or out of doors in a golden-rule adjacent way.
“Aya and Abdullah are absolutely amazing. I was desperately looking for someone to care for my beautiful cat, Zoë while transitioning to a new place, and they were truly a blessing during such a stressful and emotional time. The moment they told me they could help, I felt such a huge sense of relief. They gave Zoë her own space, treated her with so much care, and sent daily pictures and updates that gave me so much comfort and peace of mind. They’re kind, reliable, professional, and always quick to respond. I trust them completely with Zoe and will definitely reach out to them again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet sitters!”

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.

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 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.
