“Heather did a fantastic job sitting for our cat Tito. Each day she came in and would send pictures which made our time away from him a little bit easier. She is very dependable and we would highly recommend her. We will definitely use her again.”

“Truly appreciate everything you did for them and how thorough you were from the beginning. Knowing they were not only fed but played with and loved on means the world to us! We are heading out west for a wedding in October and will be booking Marlyn’s services again. Truly surprised at the ease and comfort Rover and you providing to this last minute need. Our cats are very sweet and loving with people they know so we were nervous about finding someone to come into our home and make them comfortable while we were away. Marlyn worked with our schedule to come over, meet us and our fur babies, understand our routine and the care needed for them. I would recommend her to anyone looking for any kind of in-home care.”

“This was my first time booking with Rachel, but it certainly won’t be my last! She took wonderful care of Macaroni and Pepper and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her Rover cards were thoughtful and detailed, and it was clear she spent plenty of time playing with and caring for the cats. They were happy, comfortable, and well-loved when I got home—and I think they already miss her! I highly recommend Rachel and will absolutely book with her again.”

About: I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I can usually arrange for your requested days and times to be placed in my calendar. Your schedule is important to me. I will make a short visit a few days before your reservation starts to meet you and your cat(s). I will also get a key or code for entry into your home.

About: I've had dogs of my own since I was 10, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Over the years, I've gained experience with all kinds of dogs, from smaller breeds to larger dogs, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs. I've also worked with dogs who require extra care and attention, including epileptic and anxious dogs, which has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and adaptable. I understand that every dog is different, and what works for one might not work for another. Whether a dog is energetic and playful, a little nervous around new people, or needs extra attention due to a health condition, I'm happy to take the time to understand what makes them feel most comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I'd give my own. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away! I'm a freelancer and substitute teacher who sets my own schedule, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I'm often available for same-day bookings and can accommodate pets who need a little extra attention or more frequent care. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I like to get to know each one and tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means going on walks, playing, getting some extra cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I want every pet to feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I'll also send updates and photos so you can see how they're doing!
About: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!
“Shelly did a fabulous job taking care of our cat. She came as scheduled, checked in with me each visit to let me know how our pet was doing and update us on anything needed. She offered to care for plants or get mail if we needed. Shelly was flexible and we are so appreciative of her willingness to add a check-in when we decided to extend our trip an extra day. We will definitely be reaching out to Shelly for our next trip!”

“We have used Megan several times to take care of our bunny Rye and she always does a great job. Rye is happy when we arrive back home and her enclosure is always very clean. Thanks Megan!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.
“Gwen was great taking care of our kitties! Our cat Zoya is usually very scared of meeting new people, only a few rovers have earned her trust through continuous visits and work, but with Gwen Zoya was out there to greet her from day 1, we were blown away. Peace of mind. We are very happy we chose her, she has great communication (mine was terrible I apologize!) Very helpful, kind and respectful, plus she had other cute little details that were very heart-warming and let you know what kind of person she is. 100% recommended. Will definitely book again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 4. I have taken care of anything from senior yorkies to training service puppies. I am comfortable with any size, age, or gender, or breed. Just truly an animal lover at the core! I am currently a full-time worker at Abbott. I am gone 8AM-4PM M-F but am more than open any other time during the week and all weekend! I live in multi-floored apartment with green area for all kinds of dogs. I have more than enough room for roaming and crating. Dogs are allowed on my furniture but can be prevented from doing so if needed.

About: My family has had animals all my life and I always have felt drawn to all kinds of pets and feel like I get what they’re saying without speaking! I love energetic play and having full conversations with them. I’ve taken care of newborn cats and dogs to adult cats and dogs. No specific experiences with senior animals but willing to learn! I work a full time job from 8-5, Mon-Fri. But I am more than happy to spend each evening and morning as well as the weekends with your cute and furry family members! I will give them ample about of social and play time while also following family specific rules for crating or free roam time. I can take them to a dog park and be energetic with them if allowed and can give all animals cuddle time as they deserve!

About: Growing up with a variety of pets, I’ve learned to take care of animals ranging from cats & dogs to tortoises, big and small, and young to old. My family and friends have entrusted me with their pet’s care on many occasions while they are away. I love sending my clients pictures of their pets while they are away to keep them updated and have them see their furry little friend. Care under my supervision always ensures your pets are in good hands! I am a full-time law student which typically allows me have some flexibility and open weekends and afternoons. My husband, Eddy, will also typically help out from time to time. I will have a lot of time to be able to care and play with your animals! I am reliable and trustworthy and have the best interest at heart for your pet. I find caring for other’s pets as a great way to help out and destress! When visiting my client’s home I always greet the pets and ensure they are comfortable. I look around and clean up any accidents and let them out for a quick potty break. Depending on the service, I will then either take them out for a walk or stay in the home and stimulate them with some play time. Play time can consist of a game of fetch, running, tug of war, and my favorite, hide-and-seek. For walks, I allow dogs to take all the time they need to get acquainted with the area and sniff out new smells. Allowing them extra time to look and sniff around boosts their mood and stimulates their minds. For either service, it is extremely important for me to always have the pet’s best interest in mind and provide a service that is focused on their needs at that time.

Theresa was great with my 2 kitties. She was so sweet when she came over for the meet and greet, I can see why she has a lot of repeat business. She went above and beyond while sitting by helping me out with a package I received and also watering some plants. She also sent me plenty of photos of my fur babies which is really important to me. I will definitely use her again when I am out of town.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Danielle took such wonderful care of Hazel and Earl, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We loved the daily updates, thoughtful notes, and cute photos that really showed how happy and comfortable our cats were. Highly recommend!

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
