About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression. I have experience with heartworm positive dogs as well as dogs who experience seizures. I am a current college student living at home with my family so I am available with lots of free time for your furry friend! I will occasionally have my partner over for meals or to just hang out if I am house sitting, depending on the distance and length of the booking. I believe that keeping an animal clean and safe is the best way to ensure health, as well as making sure the animal is comfortable with me. If I am watching someone who is shy, I am more than happy to give them their space (while ensuring they are safe).
“Madison took care of our cat Sasha when we had to go out of town. She was punctual and did exactly what we asked. We will definitely get her help next time we have the need.”
“Liz was wonderful with our babies. They loved having her visit with them each day. She is very caring and thoughtful. Thank you so much for taking care of our family.”
“This was the best experience. She was so great with my two cats, made me really comfortable first time booking with rover and would 10/10 recommend her, and will book again in the future !”
“Absolutely the best! Whitney was so kind and patient when my schedule changed due to work. She sent me pictures and updates every visit and even took time to learn what Kali liked (treats, brushing) to make her visits even better. I cannot thank her enough for taking such amazing care of my girl while I was gone - She will definitely be my first call any time I need Kali looked after again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs both big and small/young and old, I’ll always send you updates on your pets to let you know how our walk went without being asked, and I’ll treat your babies as if they were my own. I work an office job Monday to Friday from 8-4. I am free for walks in late afternoons/evenings during the weekdays, and have full availability on the weekend. I have two cats and they are very spoiled. I ensure that they always have fresh water, daily. I make sure they are given good food. And I play and cuddle with them all the time.
“Brittany took exceptional care of Miso! Being that he is still a curious little kitten, she went above and beyond to ensure his environment was safe and kitten-proofed, keeping anything that could potentially harm him out of reach. She followed his care instructions to a T and even offered a helpful feeding suggestion to ensure he was getting enough to eat. She also provided him with his own safe and comfortable space. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated daily with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Miso appeared happy, playful, and completely comfortable with her. I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness and attention she put into his care and would absolutely recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“It’s been a crazy summer but Autumn has helped to make sure I don’t have to worry about whose going to take care of my cat, Ana. She’s always ready to help, even though sometimes I give short notice she always comes through. I still have 4 more trips this summer and I wouldn’t even think about booking anyone else. Thanks again Autumn!”

About: I have spent nearly my entire life surrounded by and caring for animals. My hands-on pet care journey started when I was just 8 years old when I got my first dog, and I welcomed my very first cat a year later at age 9. Over the last several years, I have successfully managed feeding schedules, playtime, and daily exercises for a wide variety of dog breeds and feline personalities.Currently, I am the proud pet parent of a beautiful chocolate British Shorthair, so I completely understand how important specific grooming, dietary routines, and environmental comforts are to keeping a pet happy. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood or your cat requires a gentle, patient companion to check in on them, I provide trustworthy, dedicated care tailored entirely to your pet's unique personality and needs. - Full-Week Availability: I am available Monday through Sunday to care for your beloved cats. - Early Birds Welcome: Monday through Friday, my best times are early mornings before 7:00 AM. This is perfect for kitties who love an early breakfast or morning playtime! -Open Weekends: On Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule is completely open, and I am available at any time of day. - Dedicated Routines: Because my own daily routine already revolves around feeding, playing with, and caring for my kitten from the moment I wake up, I am always reliable and on time. - Earning Their Trust: I know that cats can be shy, but I have a gentle touch. My own 9-month-old kitten trusts me completely to brush her and clip her nails. - Experienced Family: My entire family owns both dogs and cats. I have spent years learning how to keep home environments completely safe, hazard-free, and secure for animals. - Home Security: When doing drop-in visits or house sitting, I double-check that all doors and windows are securely closed so your cat stays safely inside. - Peace of Mind: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, treats, and litter box cleaning. I will send you regular updates and photos so you know your cat is happy.

I can’t wait to offer my services to make your life or vacation a little less stressful.
“Sydney was fantastic with our cat, Axel! He had recently had a urinary blockage that was luckily caught in time but we were nervous about leaving him for a planned trip. Sydney put us at ease by taking great care of him and sending plenty of updates. He can be a more timid cat but seemed to warm up to Sydney right away! I would mostly definitely book with her again!”
“Kaylee was wonderful! She was so patient with all my needs as it was my first time leaving my baby girl. She sent me pictures and videos and left my place spotless. I’m definitely using her again!”
“Thank you very much Brittny. It was so nice to travel and not worry. You were detailed and lovely with our cats. We can always travel and count on you (hopefully you’ll be available) knowing that you’ll love on our fur babies. Great and pleasant service!”

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.

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.
