“Can I leave 15 stars??? Kay is fantastic. We had three of our regular sitters cancel on us for our trip over Thanksgiving. We were about to have to cancel our trip. Kay came in and took such great care of our girls, including our recent rescue that had some behavioral issues. She took great pictures and gave us updates on our babies. She even fed our fish and took in our black Friday packages. I'll be using her every time we have to leave our babies at home.”
“Our travels are so much easier knowing that Chimmy is well cared for. All of his needs are met and he is loved on. The photos are always fun. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and love them all. I work from home and live on a fully fenced lot. Your baby will be safe with me. I only accepts dogs under 40lbs. I work from home and my job offers a lot of flexibility, therefore; I have ample time to tend to your pets needs and safety. I have a fully fenced yard, no pets, and I’m obsessed about safety. My doors are always locked but the home has floor to ceiling windows that pets can nature watch
“Alexis is absolutely wonderful! My girls absolutely loved having her visit. She clearly has a love and passion for animals. She took her time and truly gave my pups quality time and attention. Very grateful for her. She even went the extra mile and loved on our outside fur kitties for a bit. We will definitely be asking her for help in the future. Thank you Alexis!”
“Katie did amazing with our babies! She gave plenty of updates and sent photos. We couldn't be happier with her. She's definitely our first choice for any and all future vacations!!”
About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.
“Taylor was always on time when checking on my dog and always gave me an update and sent a picture! She was also very accommodating when I needed to adjust my booking times. Will definitely book with Taylor again in the future!”

I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve.

“Marilyn is such a wonderful pet sitter! She took amazing care of my cat, and i could tell my cat was genuinely excited to see her. This means a lot coming from an extremely shy timid cat! Not only did she feed and handle the litter for my cat, but she also spent time interacting with her during each visit which my cat appreciated. We feel assured that our cat is in great care whenever Marilyn takes care of her.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm and has been caring for animals since I was a little girl. From dogs and cats to all kinds of animals, being around pets has always been a natural part of my life.

When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I live in a quiet subdivision with a large backyard, and because it isn’t fenced, all outdoor time is always supervised and on a leash to ensure safety. Walks and potty breaks are structured, calm, and tailored to your pet’s routine and energy level. Inside, pets have a comfortable, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I follow feeding schedules carefully and respect any instructions you provide so your pet feels secure and at ease.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Abide Awhile
Great to have Alexis checking in on our fur babies and having her mom Becca help was also awesome. We loved getting all the notes, pictures, and videos updates. She also shared some toys as well. Very thoughtful and we never worried about a thing knowing our babies were well taken care of. Will definitely love to work with Alexis and Becca in the future if we are in need of assistance with our fur babies.

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.

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 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.
