“Wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. I truly appreciated how caring and dependable she was. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”

About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have open scheduling times besides holidays and personal appointments. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Michelle was wonderful! She was easy to book, she stayed in contact, and sent us pictures of our 2 cats during her visits. We felt very comfortable on our holiday knowing our pets were in good hands!”
“10/10 would let him come over again! - Cajsa + Freja, very picky Bernese Mountain Dogs 🐾🐾 Logan really came through for us on a last minute trip, a true godsend! Our girls require very specific care, and even a small mishap could have life or death consequences. As such, hiring a new sitter is always nerve wracking but Logan was fantastic! Super chill, flexible, understanding and easy to talk to. And our girls don’t usually favor men, but they accepted him right away. Thanks again, Logan, we’ll def reach out for our next trip!”
“This was Olivia’s first time watching our cats and she was seriously outstanding. She really went above and beyond, overcoming some inconveniences to provide excellent care. I highly recommend.”
About: I grew up surrounded by not just dogs, but cats, chickens, rabbits, horses, lizards, and a lot more. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as I started out using the Wag! App, and especially those who like to take ME on a walk instead of the other way around - if you know what I mean. I am currently a student with a part-time job outside of the app, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I also live here year round so if you’re looking for someone for next summer I’ll be here! I currently live in an apartment so I wouldn’t be able to dog-sit more than one dog at a time. In the past, I have done overnight stays at clients’ homes and it has been great! The pets feel a lot more comfortable with this and we have a blast!
“She took great care and had patience with my kitten. Even when I made a mistake with scheduling, she was flexible and able to help me. I would definitely use Sabrina again!”
“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 15, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and daily routines. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always focus on safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently on a month-long break from SVSU, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of availability throughout the day to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, and attention on both weekdays and weekends. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and ensure a calm environment. I can crate pets if needed, provide regular updates, and always respect your home and your pet’s boundaries.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am still in college and work a part time job until 6pm on the weekdays. However, I can make myself available before 6pm upon request! I do not work on the weekends so I am a available for your pet care needs! I would prefer to watch your pets in your home. I will keep an eye on each animal and care for your pet like it’s my own.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I've learned how to walk dogs, litter train cats, administer medications, trim nails, and give bathes. I've pet sit for my grandma plenty of times before and decided I want to give it a go for other people. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I routinely care for! I am a stay at home fiancee so I have all the free time in the world! I have open availability unless stated otherwise, and I am eager to be a helping hand to those who need it. I care for pets with love and gentleness in the home of my clients. I'm patient and willing to learn and do things in a way that will make the pets feel comfortable and loved. I can clean litter boxes, clean waste from dogs on walks or even in backyards if that's preferred, I can administer medications or give baths if needed. I could also trim nails if the owner is comfortable with it and it's needed
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Cassidy, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I help operate our family-run pet care business, Furry Cuddles and Care LLC, where we’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats through boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and house sitting. I grew up helping care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs, high-energy breeds, and multi-pet households. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, potty schedules, crate training, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, structured home environment where pets are treated like family, not like they’re in a kennel. Pets staying with me receive lots of supervision, attention, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including homes with multiple pets. I also understand how important communication is to pet parents, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and messages during every stay. As a college athlete and honors student, I’m dependable, organized, responsible, and committed to providing safe and loving care for every pet entrusted to me. 🐾 What I Offer (Drop-Ins + House Sitting) I provide drop-in visits and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home while you’re away. I can help with: • Feeding + fresh water • Walks, playtime, and enrichment • Litter box care and basic cleaning • Medication (routine, non-injectable) • Calming anxious or shy pets • Cuddles or space, whatever your pet prefers • Photos and updates every visit • Watering plants, bringing in mail, and light home care My home is set up to provide a safe, comfortable, home-style environment for pets. I am not a kennel or high-volume boarding facility. I intentionally provide personalized care and supervision so pets feel relaxed and at home during their stay. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and experience safely managing dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I can separate pets when needed and are experienced with introductions, nervous dogs, puppies, and pets that need extra attention. I also have cat-friendly spaces with separate areas available for cats or pets that need quieter accommodations. 🐾 Why You Can Trust Me Pet care has always been a family effort for us, and it’s something I genuinely care deeply about. Through helping operate our family’s pet care business, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets or entering your home, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I’m responsible, dependable, respectful, and truly love animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs extra patience and attention, I work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a calm, loving, home-style environment rather than a kennel experience.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
