“Katie is one of the sweetest and efficient cat lovers that have ever watched my two goofballs. She was so kind and professional. She sent regular updates with a checklist to let me know she got all the water bowls, food bowls and litter refilled and cleaned. She sent a cute briefing on her time looking for my cats too. When I got home the house and cat areas were left perfect and she even brought in the mail and packages. Definitely my new person.❤”
“Desiré did a huge favor for my husband and I! We needed a dog sitter for our baby boy Kovu last minute and I can’t be more thankful that she was available! Even though it was last minute, she was on time for when Kovu needed to be fed and taken out. She showed him love while we were away and even put calming music for him so he didn’t feel too lonely while we were away. Will definitely hire her again 100%!!”
“Chelsea is great! Hope gets so excited when I tell her Chelsea will be babysitting her. She definitely understands. I love the peace of mind I get knowing my baby is being taken care of. I definitely recommend booking with her.”
“Kristin looked after my 2 dogs for a long weekend and did an amazing job!! The pups had the best time and absolutely loved her! They love playing ball and she made sure to throw the ball with them at every drop in visit. She also gave them lots of pets and snuggles. She updated me about everything and sent the cutest photos at each visit. One of my pups needed an antibiotic and she did great administering her medication. Kristin took the best care of my babies and I will definitely call her again next time I need a pet sitter!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Abby! She took excellent care of our cat and fish while we were away and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Highly recommend! We use Nicole for regular drop in visits and she is wonderful! Always prompt, very accommodating and flexible, professional, and of course great with my pup!”
About: I have never known life without pets! I grew up with both dogs and cars and loved teaching them fun tricks, playing with them, and getting in as much snuggle time as possible. My grandma has always had Great Danes, so I am comfortable caring for extremely large dogs, and my family has always had a special love for Golden Retrievers. My childhood puppy lived to be 18 years old, so I also have experience caring for older animals and taking the extra special care required. I currently have two cats of my own who I have raised since birth. They are happy, healthy babies who love to eat, sleep, play, and even do tricks of their own (my favorite is the fist bump)! I am a lover of all animals and regularly take my Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix on two mile evening walks, which is her favorite part of the day. I love taking the time to get to know each animal individually and care for them according to their own needs and preferences. I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I am currently in a transitional phase of my career and taking time to approach my next steps. Due to this, I have extremely open availability and can be very flexible according to your needs. In my home, I have a dog who loves to play throughout the day and absolutely loves being outside. I make sure that she gets her walks in each day and sufficient outdoor and indoor playtime. I also have two cats, who are 3 and 7 years old, that love to play with each other and snuggle with me. My younger cat adores my dog, and they typically spend the evenings in the living room with me on the couch. My cats don’t miss any opportunity to sleep in my lap or by my side when I am stationary. They each have their own medical histories that require special feeding routines that are meticulously scheduled and followed each day. When I am away, my family cares for my babies.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - from my childhood Akita to my Pom-Poo mix to my current German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix. I trained my current dog (Goose) through an intensive hands-on 6-week obedience course. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I don’t just watch dogs, I treat them like family. I work full-time but my work schedule is pretty flexible. I have a lot of off days during the week (Tuesday through Thursday) to walk pups and make visits! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d expect for my own. I will follow your pet’s routine closely - whether that means morning walks, mealtime rituals, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. I keep your pet comfortable, happy, & safe in their familiar environment. I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and your absence as stress-free as possible - for both of you!
About: I have had experience with dogs since I was very young, and I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies. They are complete opposites from each other in size and temperament and have very different needs, so I feel confident caring for different dogs that may have different needs. Whether you need someone to swing by and give your pup a nice walk, or someone reliable to drop in and let them out, feed them, or just play with your dog while you’re out, I’d love to be that person for you and your dog! I currently work another job 4 days a week, and have the other 3 off. I’m available Sunday, Tuesday & Wednesday 11am- 4:30pm. I have a 6 year old daughter that I pick up from school at 6:30pm so I just want to make sure I have enough time to get back to pick her up also ☺️ I currently have our two dogs crate trained, so I feel comfortable crating your dog/s if needed. I can feed, play, give medicine (if needed) and walk your dog at your home. I would prefer to do a meet and greet with all owners and dogs before hand, so a new person coming into there home isn’t a surprise to the dog and also just to make sure it’s a good match for everyone involved ☺️
“Caroline is an excellent sitter, even in difficult situations! My dogs absolutely love her and we do too! She makes sure to check in, message us for any questions and She's flexible too!”
“Tori was excellent with her in house service of visiting Shadow. She was willing to meet before hand to see Shadow and review Shadow’s needs. I received daily updates and photos assuring me that Shadow was being taken care off. I will definitely have Tori watch Shadow in the future.”
“Gracie was great with my babies. She took great care of them. She Communicated with me through out the process. She was very patient with the dogs which allowed them to warm up to her.”
“Nelly is a wonderful and incredibly thoughtful sitter. She came to our meet-and-greet well prepared with a notebook to make sure she didn’t miss a thing, which immediately put me at ease. She took beautiful photos of my cats — just the right amount — and kept communication clear and reassuring throughout my time away. Nelly was also very flexible and always available when I needed to extend visits. I truly appreciated her care and attention, and I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: Hey, I’m Anthony! and I’ve spent the past 24 years caring for animals from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior, medically complex, and high-maintenance pets. My approach is simple: your pet deserves the same level of attention, patience, and love that you would give them yourself. I provide personalized, luxury-level care built around your pet’s individual personality, routines, needs, and preferences. Over the years, my experience has included dog-walking groups, private clients, boarding, pet sitting, daycare, and veterinary-setting care. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rats, snakes & lizards. I also have experience with senior pets, pets requiring medications and injections, wound care, specialized diets, and animals needing extra patience and attention, including pets in labor through to delivery. I believe luxury pet care isn’t about simply checking a box on a schedule. It’s about creating an environment where your pet feels safe, understood, stimulated, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I customize routines and enrichment around each animal and follow your instructions closely, while maintaining any training or structure you’ve already established. I’m naturally calm, nurturing, playful, energetic, and highly attentive. I’m also experienced at recognizing behavioral cues, including signs of discomfort or potential aggression, so I can respond appropriately and keep everyone safe. I’m currently a proud dog dad to the sweetest Chihuahua you’ll ever meet, and I also volunteer consistently with Planned PEThood of Duluth, supporting community vaccine drives that have helped more than 1000+ pets. In addition to that, my family also supports in caring for your pet, since we all love animals so much. My wife, Léy, will usually partner very close with me to meet your pets needs, so you may very well see her around. She’s a veterinary assistant so she’s very attentive! She has also trained our daughter in animal safety & control, & together caring for animals truly enriches our family experience. Please know that your pet will always be safe & with multiple eyes & experienced, helping hands on them. Whether your pet needs a peaceful stay, an energetic adventure, specialized care, or simply someone who will give them plenty of companionship and cuddles, my goal is for them to come home calm, happy, and well cared for then be genuinely excited to see me again next time. I welcome pet parents who value quality care, communicate openly, and provide detailed instructions so I can give their pets the individualized luxury experience they deserve. 🐾 Pet care is my full-time commitment, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I structure my days around your pet’s individual routine, providing consistent attention, enrichment, exercise, companionship and care. I provide a calm, clean, secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. i have a big fenced in backyard where your pet can play and roam free. I follow your care instructions very closely, maintain established routines and training, monitor behavior and wellbeing, and provide attentive supervision throughout their stay. Truly, our meet & greet is where we make the greatest connection, answer the most important questions, and where I strive to make an initial bond with your pet. I look forward to meeting you! 🐾
“Kasey was absolutely amazing with our 2 dogs!! Both over 40lbs and they adored her! She kept us updated with details and pictures so we never had to stress about what was going on! Couldn’t recommend her enough! Definitely will be asking for her help again!”

I am very happy with the care and attention Maria provided to my indoor and semi feral cats. After our meet and greet I knew she would be perfect for drop in services. She reliably checked in at the beginning of each visit, fed and watered my fur kids and even kept the litter box fresh and clean. At the conclusion of each visit I was assured they were in good hands by the photos she sent each day. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs and will definitely use her again. Thank you Maria Abigail!
Sydney and Yoonho are the best! They take such great care of our babies and are always super responsive, which really puts us at ease whenever we have to leave them. Our cat Mabel is usually shy and nervous around strangers, but she actually comes out to see them. ❤️
Johanna was an amazing sitter for our sweet cat. He was taken care of so well and it was so nice being able to not worry while being out of town. She sent pictures every day and updated us with everything we needed to know. She was punctual and always came at the same time everyday and was always available to chat if I had a question. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again this next weekend!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
