“Colin always does a great job! Very reliable and very good with the cats; he really has a way with them and they’re always content and well cared for when we get home. He really cares about the animals and always goes above and beyond for us. I’d highly recommend him!”
About: I am a life-long animal lover. I have been mother to my three sweet cats George, Winnifred, and Maia for 9 years. My cats have had ups and downs and I have stood by my cats and administered medicine, cleaned up their messes, taken them to surgeries, and held their paws the whole time. I am excited to meet your pets and help them out! I am currently unemployed and happy to provide drop in services from 6 am to 3 pm. Additional times for drop ins can be discussed on a case by case basis. Happy to take pets for walks, play, feed, sift litter boxes, and clean up accidents. Administering medication can also be done, but after an initial drop in for consultation.
“Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!”
About: I have 28 years of experience taking care of pets and many more taking care of my own family pets. My first job at 13 was at a kennel. I can administer all types of medications, I've had sick and elderly pets that needed shots, fluids and pills. I also was a wildlife rehabilitator and have experience with bottle feeding and wound care. I am skilled with senior pets, exotics and livestock. I live in Lunenburg MA with my husband surrounded by a variety of different pets from dogs and cats to reptiles to parrots to livestock. I am comfortable around any size pet and with aggressive moody pets. I'm currently working full time Monday -Friday but am available weekends all day and mornings/ afternoons during the week for drop ins. I cannot do overnight stays or boarding. I will do whatever to mimic how you care for your own pets in your home. Any schedule or routine you do I will follow. I will allow dogs outside at your own home off leash, but if you would like walks/ hiking off your property dogs must be leashed for their safety.
“Elizabeth was wonderful, kind, reliable, and very responsive. She was available on short notice, which was a huge help for us. She took great care of not only our cat, Nuggets, but also our 4 chickens! We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We were so happy with her care that we have already hired her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”

About: early years, my family were training Morgans for the Kentucky Derby. It had been an exhilarating journey, one that beautifully intertwined skill, patience, and a profound bond with these majestic horses. Each horse is unique, deserving of personalized training that not only harnesses their incredible speed and agility but also fosters a deep connection between horse and trainer. As l've grown, my focus has shifted from merely training to cherishing those heartfelt connections, as they truly enrich my life. Alongside my passion for equine training, I find immense joy in the companionship of dogs and cats, nurturing their spirits It’s all I do - besides writing. I chose to step Away from The chaos of the world to care for my own well being by taking care of animals. With respect, kindness and love as I would expect in my own home and with my own pets. Pets bring joy and peace to my life.
About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years, I board and do in home visits, I sit for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and even fish!

About: I just left my job after many many years. I worked in the addiction recovery sector. I have found myself still having so much in my heart to give I am retired and home so while I am babysitting your fur baby I will be sure to schedule things remotely. That way he or she will get the attention they need while you are away I take dogs on a walk regularly on a leash. Also, there is lots and lots of love to go around here for your fur baby while yo are away.
“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”
“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
“Raul has stayed with our cat, Flopsi, twice now. I can happily say my cat and I were comforted by the care and attention Raul showed him over both visits. Raul has a gentle, calm nature that helps put even a nervous boy like my Flops at ease. Raul also took great care of our home, keeping it clean and tidy. We’re so happy we found such a reliable, responsible sitter for Flops. We already plan to have Raul back for a longer stay during an upcoming trip.”

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.
