“Beautiful Soul❤️. Took such good and kind care of our two babies. Communication was always on point! Loved getting to know Christy and vacation was so much better knowing she was keeping them safe. She interacted daily and even brought new toys for them to try. You must give her a try. Your cats will thank you! Mine did🥰”
“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
“Working with Cassandra was a great experience! She took some of the best photos of my cat I’ve ever seen and she was great with communication/updates. I would absolutely work with her again :)”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid —cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own! I work weird hours and days so I’m available at times most people aren’t! If you’re looking for someone that will be in town during holidays, that would be me! I understand every pet is different and might take time to adjust. I care about sticking to a schedule and keeping the pets feeling cared about regarding routine, habits, medications, and whatever else they might need. I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid growing up on a farm- cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own!
“Isabel took wonderful care of our cat Esther while we were on vacation, including cleaning her litter box and sending great photos and videos of her. We came home to a happy healthy feline. Esther recommends Isabel if you are looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter, and we recommend her too.”
About: I had the honor of growing up with dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable with pets regardless of breed and size. My friends’ dogs love when I come visit them because I’m always game for a walk, some socialization, meals, meds, and even the occasional bath (even when they don’t like it) Because I work from home, I have strong flexibility to be able to care for pets. Between meetings, I can attend to their needs, and I welcome the chance to also balance my time away from the computer as well! When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect. After I’ve left, I try to make it appear like I was never there, and I honor that everyone’s space is special to them.
“Great experience with Nathaly! She was sweet and caring to our dogs while we were gone and sent pictures which always makes it easier when we have to leave them for the weekend. Will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need her.”
About: I have been walking dogs for several years now, and love running with dogs who need extra exercise! Love playing with and giving care to pups and cats at home also. Currently going to community college and hoping to spend time making sure animals are well taken care of in my free time! I’m currently going to school and have a lot of free time on Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends to spend time with pets! Other days I am able to stop by for shorter amounts of times but I am available most days for at least a short time. I will be able to watch your pets at your home according to their regular schedule so that they are not too thrown off by their owner being gone! Whatever your pets need to feel more normal and at ease during the time you are away, I am confident I can deliver.
“Marissa was amazing, she is so sweet and our kitty absolutely loved her. She took so many pictures and made sure to update me on how everything was going. Marissa went above and beyond. She gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. I will absolutely be using her again ❤️ I highly recommend Marissa!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family and friends. I like to go on walks and love to take my dog to the park! I’m available 8am-6:30pm daily I’m currently a full time student and have classes online this quarter. So I’m home all day and can work with your schedule I can take your dog to the park or provide a quick walk outside whenever needed and babysit on weekdays and weekends if needed. Let me know!
“Emma was great with our cat! She made sure she always had water and food, cleaned her litter box, and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I've never been without pets in my life, big dogs and small, as well as multiple cats. I have a limited experience with guinea pigs and hamsters. I am currently going through Vet Tech school with Pierce college. I also have been volunteering at the Auburn Valley Humane Society and there cat cafe for some time now. With our 3 pups and 2 cats they get quite a bit of play time in our 5 person household. Cats are my responsibility so every day they get their litter boxes cleaned, water and food is full and clean, and that my older cat got his meds. Our dogs get poop cleaned a few times a week and are fed twice a day. It has blended into my day to day life to make sure they are happy and healthy. Watching body language is key, every animal is different on whether they want to be left alone, approached slowly or are happy as can be. The first part of Vet Tech school was body language and how to approach with everyone's safety in mind.
“This was our second time having Stephanie care for our two young cats in our home, and once again she did an amazing job. I felt completely at ease traveling, knowing our cats were in such good hands. Communication was fantastic — I received lots of photos and updates, which was so reassuring. She also went above and beyond by helping me handle a refrigerator issue while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I’ve always been surrounded by pets through my family and have spent years babysitting dogs and other animals for family members and family friends. I’ve also had a dog of my own and currently have three cats and a ferret. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a full-time college student, but I only have classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1–3:30 PM. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week, and I’d love to use that extra time to help pet parents care for their animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to work around their individual routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s usual routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs are maintained. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of lots of animals since I was little. I have lots of expirence with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, bunnies. I have used pet pads, litter boxes, training tequniques for dogs to sit, shake, lay down and roll over and to wait. I have worked with new born puppies/kittens to elderly animals. 😍 I have worked with really shy doggos to some super cuddly oversize lap dogs with all the energy. 🤪😂🩷 I only work part time, and I have weekends off and afternoon evenings off so I have plenty of time to play with furry friends! I have leashes, and am comfortable going on lots of walks in nearby areas. I can offer treats and some toys if the client would like.
About: I have two big dogs of my own so I have plenty of experience with larger breeds. I’ve had puppies and kittens and grew up with lots of pets! I also cat sit and dog sit on occasion for my family! I work Part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I walk my own animals daily in addition to go to the gym. Stamina won’t be a problem no matter the energy level of your pet. I have two large dogs who run around constantly, I’m very good with clear commands and communication with them. I also take care of my families cats who can be temperamental which taught me a lot of patience when caring for animals as well.

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. 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.
