“Victoria has been my best cat sitter by far. I used her for drop-in visits and she kept me well informed on how Rascal was doing and his catitude for that day. She let me know the one day she found some puke and watched him the rest of the week for any new occurrences and let me know that his litter box looked normal on his sickish day as well. I'm hoping she's available for any future vacations I take as she will be my go-to catsitter.”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I regularly do weekend babysitting for a German shepherd and Australian shepherd. I also do drop-in visits for my friends cats when they are gone on vacations. I work full-time from home with the ability to bring my work laptop with me. I have meetings throughout the week but my schedule is pretty flexible. Most weekends I have availability to do walks or visits, though I am sometimes out of town to pet sit. During the week, I can do 1 morning walk before 8AM every day. Some days I have availability at noon for 1 walk as well. Those days will have an extra booking available! For drop-in visits, your pet will be in their own home where they are used to the environment, and I require an introductory visit before taking on new clients. This way we can guarantee a good match for your pet and I. For dog walking, I will provide the safest experience possible for your pet. I can even take them to dog parks if that is allowed. I also require an introductory meeting before taking new clients.
“We recently moved to Eau Claire and we don’t have many friends or family in the area yet and we decided to try out Rover. We found Korah and decided to give it a try. She almost immediately responded to being able to watch Bentley and she was more than willing to come meet in person before she was going to check in on him later. She made us feel very comfortable leaving Bentley with her. I 100% recommend her and we will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you Korah for taking care of our baby Bentley ❤️”
“Bailey was AWESOME!! It's nice to have someone who will treat my fur baby the same way I do. You can tell Bailey loves animals by the way she interacts with your pet. Bailey is definitely not your average pet sitter but rises above the rest. Thank you for taking this on last minute. We appreciate you!”
“Excellent care giver. Provided all cares that were needed. Had an issue with a leash and she was able to locate a different leash and assist my dog anyway. She also gave my dog a walk when it wasn’t asked.”
About: I have always taken care of many different types of pets in my home. I have helped with senior dogs who need medicine or insulin shots. I have also fostered and have experience with all types of animals, such as; a full litter of kittens, bunnies, and dogs of all sizes. I work until 4pm every day and have random weekdays off and I always have Sundays off. I am very flexible and can adapt to your schedules needs. I have a fenced in backyard and have lots of friendly animals. They also all have their own specific areas if they need to be quarantined for any reason. I can also read animals body languages for when they may need some space or more direct attention.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Whether that was our family pets, random stray cats, family/friend’s/neighbor’s cats & dogs, or lost or dumped pets, I was always the one to help. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Schnauzers, Beagles, Australian Shepards, to King German Shepards, including senior dogs as well. Two years ago I also adopted my dog, Eugene, who is a mix of Australian Shepard, Cattle Dog, Border Collie, & Collie. Being those breeds he is a very high energy guy so I am constantly taking him on walks, hikes, swims, and working on training him on the agility course. Adopting him has given me a lot more insight on the different ways dogs express themselves and how to work with them based on their own personalities and triggers. Not only have I taken care of various dogs and cats, I have also cared for fish, crabs, geckos, a ferret, hamsters, and even sea turtles! I am currently taking a break from my job to focus on my health so I will have availability most days. If there are any days that show unavailable that you need pet care just send me a message and I will see what I can do :) I have always treated every animal as if it were my own, following the exact care instructions, and ensuring they are happy and well taken care of. Having a dog myself I know how much they mean to you so it is my goal to treat them with the utmost care and love.
“Our family highly recommends Emma! She did really well and beyond our expectations with our big dogs. She responds very quickly and sends updates during the day. Which were really important for us. We felt really at ease knowing that she was the one watching our dogs and staying at our house. We actually booked her for another sitting schedule! :)”
About: What sets me apart is my experience, compassion, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. As a nurse, I’m also comfortable being attentive to changes in behavior and following detailed care instructions. I have experience caring for diabetic cats, special diets, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy getting to spend time with animals in my free time! I make sure each animal gets the attention and time they deserve. I provide in-home pet care by visiting clients’ homes and caring for their pets in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding instructions and caring for pets with special diets or additional needs. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
About: I have a flexible work schedule Monday - Friday and also an empty nester so lots of free time. I have been around dogs my entire life both large and small. I like to walk and would enjoy a walking buddy! Both long and short walks are ok with me... I have a flexible work schedule Monday - Friday and off on the weekend. I am a empty nester so lots of free time to spend with your pet. Having an initial meet and greet would be great for you to get to know me and for us both to ask those initial questions and address your pets needs to ensure safety.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and grew up in a home where animals were always part of the family. Throughout my childhood, we always had both a dog and a cat, which gave me the opportunity to understand and support pets through all stages of their lives. Being raised around animals has brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, going for walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. In addition, I have three years of experience walking dogs, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of different temperaments and needs. If you choose me to care for your pet, I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own, and to care for them to the very best of my abilities. I'm currently a student and work a part-time job; however, I usually have 2-hour gaps in my day. This is to accommodate time to take your pet out to potty, go for walks, or just have some playtime. Then after 3 pm I am free during the evenings. I’m unable to host pets in my own home; however, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and ensure your pet receives the same love, care, and attention I would give my own.
About: I want to help parents feel at ease if they have to be away from their fur babies. Let me make your away from home less stressful. I am available everyday for drop in visits, playtime or daily walks. I am available all weekend for extended visits and have reliable vehicle for travel or car rides I have a spare bedroom available as a doggie room or cat room if your pet would like more privacy and a fenced in back yard for safety but extra play space to exercise your pet.
“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”
“Cortlyn was awesome! She was so comfortable with Zeke! With him being reactive I always get a little nervous with leaving him with other people but I felt he was in the best of hands!! Thank you for taking care of our boy!!”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for my whole life. I often took care of neighbors animals when they would go out of town and always enjoyed it! Can’t wait to walk some dogs and cuddle some cats I am working part time and only work a few hours a week so I will have plenty of time to walk dogs or take care of animals! I am totally willing to do whatever needed for your animals! I am great at following directions and loving animals like they are my own!

This was my first time booking through Rover. Rae Ann was amazing! She took such great care of my pets and kept me updated every day with photos and messages about how things were going. It made me feel much better knowing they were in very good hands. My pets looked happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely book with Rae Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
