“Thank you again for watching our cats while we were on vacation! You make leaving our furrbabies much less stressful and it’s greatly appreciated knowing they are in good hands. We will be reaching out to book again :)”
“Lucy was wonderful as always. She was able to do a last minute check in on my pups, and they adore her. She’s wonderful at communication and is a very patient person with both dogs and me!”
“Samantha was great! Very prompt and thorough with communication. Sent lots of pictures and videos of my kitties and went above and beyond when they had an accident on the carpet.”
“We were very nervous to hire anyone to stop in on our 2 dogs as they have only been cared for by family in the past. Also one is very anxious when people come over and the other is a senior with arthritis. Chris came over for a meet and greet, and we were relieved that our anxious dog warmed up to her quickly. We had Chris stop in this week and everything went great. Our dogs lived having a chance to play a bit and get an extra piddy break. Thanks to Chris we feel a bit more comfortable about having an”
About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!
“Stephanie was so wonderful with our two kitties! She gave them the attention they each wanted (one likes more than the other), made them their special wet food & spoiled them with treats while we were away. She is so kind & patient…don’t hesitate to book her for your fur babies!”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!
About: I love running and enjoy it better with a running buddy! If you have a doggo that needs to release extra energy and enjoys running, let me know! I am working two part time jobs at the moment, but would love to build a weekly fitness routine that would also benefit a four-legged friend or two. Pets come first. I would make sure to respect their boundaries and pay attention details and to their personalities to ensure mutual respect and comfort.
“Claire was super awesome for dropping in and hanging with our families cat and dog. Our dog has some separation anxiety but warmed up to Claire immediately and made us feel super comfortable knowing we had her to walk and hang with Zoe. Great communication and prompt visits! Definitely recommend!”
“Allison was so patient with my very timid cat. Everyday she talked with her and was so kind. Her updates and photos were always timely. Can’t thank you enough Allison!”
“It was a pleasure to have Patricia take care of my cat again. She was up for whatever my cat was in the mood for whether it was playtime, pets, or treats. Patricia followed all instructions and went above and beyond for my cat. I highly recommend her and plan on rebooking in the future.”
“Beth has been very helpful and friendly, so nice to work with. We adopted a new dog from the Humane Society, who needs some TLC right now in her strange, new environment. Beth has been doing drop-in visits while we are at work. And our dog couldn’t be happier about that extra attention, and chance to romp in the back yard! We are very pleased to have met someone who understands, and loves dogs as much as we do. Thank you, Beth!”
“Kristen is super kind and great with both of our cats! She was flexible and left great updates! Made us feel so comfortable having to leave town for an unexpected family emergency. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi, I'm Bryanna! Animals have always been at the heart of my life. My journey into the pet world began through my day job, where I work with a company dedicated to supporting positive reinforcement (R+) pet professionals. Through that work, I've learned from some of the best trainers and behavior consultants in the industry, and it's shaped how I care for every animal I meet. My philosophy is simple: I will never use force, fear, intimidation, or pain. Every animal deserves to be treated with patience, compassion, and respect. I believe trust is something we earn—not demand. My greatest teacher was my late dog, Alfie. He battled a serious autoimmune disease (ITP), and caring for him taught me how to confidently administer medications, recognize subtle changes in health and behavior, and stay calm through medical challenges. More than anything, it gave me a deep appreciation for the trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else's care. I've also shared my life with reactive dogs, so I understand that every animal has different comfort levels, communication styles, and needs. Whether your companion is outgoing, shy, anxious, elderly, energetic, or requires a little extra patience, I'm happy to meet them exactly where they are—without judgment or unrealistic expectations. At home, I'm now happily ruled by cats, who remind me every day that every animal is an individual with their own personality, preferences, and boundaries. **And if you're a fellow multi-pet parent, I get it! Those "just one more pet" fees can add up quickly. That's why I offer a very low rate for additional pets—because I know your whole crew deserves great care without the price tag piling up for every extra set of paws.** When you trust me with your companion, my goal is simple: to provide the same thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own. I'll care for them as the unique individuals they are, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I work full-time from home Thursday - Monday, so my pet care schedule is built around providing dependable visits before and after work, with evenings (after 4:00 PM) being my most flexible availability. Many weekdays also offer some flexibility for midday visits when planned in advance. My weekends fall on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which means I'm often available for additional visits, longer drop-ins, meet-and-greets, or last-minute requests on those days. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and upfront about my availability. If your pet has a specific routine or timing needs, just let me know—I'll always do my best to accommodate them and will be honest if I'm not the right fit. My goal is to provide care that's consistent, dependable, and tailored to your pet's needs. When I'm caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine feeling as normal as possible. I'll follow your care instructions closely—from meals and medications to playtime, enrichment, litter box care, or simply spending quiet time together if that's what your companion prefers. I believe every pet is an individual, so I let them set the pace. Whether they're outgoing and ready to play or prefer to observe me from across the room for a while, I'll respect their boundaries and earn their trust through patience and positive interactions. You'll receive regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll let you know right away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would expect for mine—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
We always have a wonderful experience with Claire! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of both babies while we were away. She went above and beyond—even cleaning up some cat puke, which was definitely not expected or required, but was so appreciated! 😂 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two happy kitties and everything well taken care of. We would absolutely book with Claire again and highly recommend her!
Lucy was wonderful with our cat. This was the first time we used Rover and I was a bit anxious. She was great at helping me to navigate the app and keeping us updated while we were away. She was on-time, provided updates as well as pictures daily. It was so helpful to know our cat was loved and taken care of while we were away. We have another upcoming trip and will be looking to book with Lucy again.
Kris did an awesome job taking care of my kitties! She came for two meet and greets to make sure they were comfortable with her and to make sure she understood how to administer their medications. She was on time each drop in and was able to get both cats their medications each time. One of my cats is very shy and nervous so it was a big relief to know she was able to handle him. She was great with sending updates with photos as well! My kitties were in good hands and we would definitely hire Kris again!
Tim is a contentious cat sitter. My cats look forward to getting treats and wet food when he visits. He brushes them and plays with them in addition to the liter box duties. He checks the fountain for fresh water and makes sure the auto feeder has food. He lets me know if they have left hairballs, etc. he also turns on different lights every day. I recommended him to my sister. He spends about a half hour with them each visit so all the boxes are checked.
Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Allison took great care of our 3 senior cats while we were on vacation. They each have unique quirks and needs and she took it all in stride which I am grateful for! I was able to relax while away knowing Allison was checking in on them everyday. I will definitely be reaching out to her for any future 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.

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.
