“Great guy awesome communication took my cat for the weekend while I was traveling thru so I could go hit some excursions, he sent me updates and pictures of him keeping my cat active and played with. 1000x better than any boarding place I’ve ever taken him to. so glad to have found James.”
About: I have been caring for pets since a very young age, rarely going any time in my life without a cat, dog, mouse or snake! I am currently staying home full-time with plenty of space to welcome furry friends into our little sanctuary while providing lots of love, care, patience and play! We have a large yard with lots of space to play and run around. We offer an open door policy with canine friends who enjoy both inside and outside time. All pets are welcome to free roam our home as well!
“Ashlee was amazing with our babies! She provided pictures, had great communication, and took really great care of our animals. Truly appreciated the detailed updates we received during the visits. ❤️”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a more relaxed companion, I adjust to their needs and routine to keep them happy and stress-free. I’m available weeknights and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, quality care for your pets. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate evening drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. On weekends, I have more open availability for extended care, playtime, and boarding if needed. I’m reliable and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they’re used to. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I take safety seriously by keeping a close eye on pets at all times, using secure leashes on walks, and making sure they’re always in a safe space. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

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.
