About: I've rescued several wild animals over the years as well as volunteered for the Peninsula ASPCA. I have 5 pets at home as well I think the world of and each are highly unique and need different attention. I've had pets my whole life and have always had Siberian Huskies. I cannot imagine a home without a furry friend and believe they always deserve my 100% because they are the best parts of what makes a house feel livable for me. Learning body language and specific sounds since I was just learning to walk that its my second nature. My best friend having guinea pigs for years too, I've learned how to even care for smaller exotic pets I do the cat pan and brush my pets and make sure their water fountain in clean and running with the filters. Clip their nails when long and play and treat them in training. The cats get proper cuddle time and the dogs fluffed and hugged. For my cat Bucky he need quiet time with little stimulation in my room away from the others. I will treat any pet as my own and learn what their balance is so they have the best care I can offer. Learning their personalities and quirks to ensure their safety, my safety, and certainly their comfort
“Abigail did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. She followed all our directions and adapted to one of our cats not wanting to come out to eat. She spent time getting to know them and played with Lavender, who doesn’t always want to play. I highly recommend her to care for your animals, she will do a great job!”
“Christine was very nice & caring with my boy simba! She updated me regularly & even sent pictures & videos. Simba had a great time in her care & I will definitely be booking again for future trips!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”
“Marianne is great! She did daily drop-in visits with our dog and cat for the last several days, and was kind enough to come and meet them both first. Our dog, who is very skittish with new people, warmed up to Marianne so quickly. She sent us photos and videos from each visit. I knew my girls were in good hands!”
“Abagail did fantastic with our two cats! She kept us in the loop the entire time, played with and took care of them. Super nice and attentive! We could tell she loved taking care of cats and did a great job. We will 100% rebook her again!! Highly recommend!”

“Tifffany was great and took care of Sherbert like he was her own, she provided daily updates and even let me know that Sherbert was sick and cared for him. If you ever need a sitter I would 100% recommend tiffany to you and I would love to use her again!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and know firsthand what it means to love a pet like family. Over the past two years, I’ve had the joy of regularly pet sitting for two rescue dogs, giving them the patience, comfort, and care they deserve. I also look after a close friend’s pets and check in on a cat whenever her owner is away on weekend trips. Whether your pet needs a walk, a sleepover, or just some company while you’re gone, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Your furry family members are in good hands! I work part-time at my own business, which gives me the flexibility throughout the week to step away and check in on your pets whenever needed. I’m also available on weekends for house sitting and dog walking, making it easy to accommodate your schedule — whether it’s a quick weekday visit or a full weekend stay. You can count on me to be there when it matters most! I follow your pet’s routine — feeding schedules, medications, walks and playtime for dogs. For cats, I provide in-home care, litter cleaning and feedings.
“DeHaven and Ashlee were wonderful with my 3 cats, they were patient and made them feel at ease. I can't reccomend them enough! I usually can't enjoy my vacation because I am so anxious about my pets, but I was able to relax knowing they are in good hands.”
About: Hi everyone! I work from home and would love to be able to use my flexible work schedule to make a little extra money, hang out with adorable animals, and provide care and attention to them. All my life I have had dogs and cats who mean the world to me. Any time I have to be away from them, or need someone to care for them, I want the absolute best person for the job. It’s what our pets deserve! I’d love to be that person for others. I work from home Monday-Friday! Because of this, I’m able to work remotely from anywhere. I’d love to be able to use that flexibility to petsit. I have a few meetings throughout the day, but otherwise I have very open availability to give lots of attention and time to your pets! I’d care for pets in my client’s home exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. I have a dog who is my whole world, and I’d want to give that same care and attention that she deserves from those who have watched her.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Yorkville
We love Ashley so much and so do our cats! The peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter like Ashley is nearly priceless. We were recently on a cruise with extremely limited WiFi when we got a direct text from Ashley instead of the usual message in the Rover app. There was a minor issue with one of the cats getting into the cabinet where the cat food is kept, and the cats made a huge mess. Everyone was fine and Ashley cleaned up the mess. We really appreciated that she tried every method available to reach out to us to let us know about the incident. And she even went back over to our house to make sure all the cat food was in a better hiding spot!! TL;DR don’t hesitate to book with Ashley!
Samantha took excellent care of our cats and chickens everyday when my family and I were on vacation. She wrote detailed Rover Cards with over 20 photos daily so, I would know how much she cared for our animals while 1,000 miles away. When we got back our cats and chickens were calm and happy. Samantha was the best choice for our family and animals.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
