“Aubrie was great with our kitties while we were gone. She met them first, which gave us an idea how she interacted with them and gave us a chance to show her where supplies were. She was great about sharing 3 to 4 pictures every visit of them playing, eating, and just being cute. She made sure to send a good note each visit with the Rover Card and pictures. We would definitely use Aubrie again to take care of our cats when we leave town!!”
“Pamela did a great job checking on Chloe every day while we were on vacation. Chloe really seemed to bond with her. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and taking our trash to the curb. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We have always had dogs, ever since I was a baby, and then got cats when I was in elementary school. I’ve taken care of both kinds of animals my entire life. I currently own two cats, a tortie and a Siamese, and enjoy my time with all the dogs in my family, as well. I don’t have any special training, but I have compassion for all animals and love spending time with pets and getting to know them. I am available Wednesday and Friday 5p-5a, and Saturday and Sunday anytime. Any prior obligations will be explained ahead of time. Pets will be fed, watered, cleaned up, exercised and loved on. I treat all pets like my own: they are well fed, well watered, and well loved. I always give animals time to adjust, make sure they have all the basics, and will follow their human’s requests to the best of my abilities. All messes will be cleaned up, meds given (as best as possible), and exercise provided where requested.
“Ava was such a great sitter for my 3 kitties. I was on vacation for 9 days and it was such an ease off my mind knowing that my babies were being well taken care of. I am so grateful to her.”
“Jenevieve and her family became home away from home for our fur babies. She was in contact with me very often giving me updates. I hated leaving them for so long but I’m lucky that Jenevieve was able to take care of them.”
About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 12 years old. For several years my friends and family have always reached out to have me help walk, feed, and dog sit their animals. I always care for them and treat them as if they are my own. I love to be active but also love to relax and cuddle with animals. I am flexible with any timing of daily or weekly pet care. Whenever your pet needs taken care of, I will be there! Lots of options. I can spend quality time with your pet in the house and give them all the attention they deserve. I will also be sure they stay active and get outside for walks.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. I’ve had cats, dogs, and small animals like guinea pigs and mice. I competed in 4H with horses and I’ve also worked on horse ranches. I’m a certified dog groomer and even went to vet tech school for a semester. I have worked at 2 different vet clinics. I’m always looking to advance in my career with animals I’m currently a full time dog groomer in Ames! My shifts vary but I’m always off work by 6 at the very latest. I have Tuesdays and Sundays completely open usually. Mondays and Thursdays I start work very early but the other days of the week I can stop in very early in the morning if needed for potty breaks. I can just walk them, drop in to visit, or stay for part of a day. I’m even willing to take your pets places in my car if that’s wanted. I’m very experienced with animals and their needs are very important to me.
About: My friends, family and neighbors have come to me when they need someone to look after their pets. I’ve pet sit for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, fish and reptiles. During the week, I have veterinary school with breaks between classes. I was a vet assistant for 5 years so I gained plenty of experience with a variety of animals. Animal care is one of my passions so walking and sitting in my free time is something I enjoy! I’m am a veterinary student during the week so I’m looking to help walk dogs or pet sit on the weekends and days I get off. I have breaks between classes that I can utilize as well I live in an apartment with lots of trails and parks nearby. I hope to get them outside and walking especially during nice days. I’m more than happy to go to the pet to stay/check on them when you’re away
“Stacey took such good care of my senior cat and was perfectly comfortable giving her insulin shots. She sent me pictures of she and my cat cuddling and it made me so happy 😊 I would hire Stacey again in a heartbeat!”
About: I currently work at Banfield Pet Hospital in Clive as a Registered Veterinary Technician! I have lots of experience with animals of all kinds. I have owned animals my whole life and they are a big part of my life. I can help keep up with training as well as take care of your pets special needs. I am fear free certified and cat friendly certified. I also can trim nails and more for additions charges. I know emergency CPR and more. I am so EXCITED to meet your babies❤️ I can usually accommodate to your schedule. I work 10-11 hour days 4 days a week. I work with animals daily whether it’s my job or my own pets so I am around them 24/7! I can maybe stop by to do potty breaks on my lunch breaks depending on how far it is. I have demanding hours but will stop in before and after work. My first priority would be to make sure your pet(s) are comfortable with me! I want to make sure they feel as that i am not an intruder. I don’t want them to get nervous or anxious! I would be doing lots of cuddling, playtime, naps, and of course…treats (if allowed) with your fur baby(s)! I can help train your pets as well as provide enrichment.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
