“Laura did an amazing job checking in on our cats! She maintained excellent communication with us & the cats loved her calm demeanour, even our shy cat warmed up to her instantly!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, family friends, and neighbors for over 10 years. I have a family dog that I primarily took care of from 8 weeks old to one year old. I’ve taken care of my neighbors cats multiple times and I currently have two of my own. I currently have a part-time job that I work Monday-Friday. This still leaves plenty of time for me to provide care for your animals in the morning, at night, and during the day. I would be able to adjust to each clients home according to how they specifically take care of their pets. My first priority would be the pets safety. I would provide regular food according to their feeding schedule and make sure they always have fresh water. I would learn about their specific needs and take note of changes in behavior. They would receive plenty of attention and affection in my care. A clean living space and regular exercise would be a priority. I am responsible with every pet I care for and clients can always depend on me to show up and put in time and effort with their pets.
“I contacted Maria late on the evening before we were leaving for a last minute weekend away. This was our first time to use her. She responded and was so sweet to come for a quick meet and greet before we left. We knew right away that she had a special love for cats. She and our Mac connected right away. We loved that she shared many photos with us and let us know what she did on each visit. Maria gave us peace of mind that our boy was being well cared for while we were gone. She also kindly watered my flower pots for me. We highly recommend Maria.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since childhood, so taking care of animals has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe great pet care starts with taking the time to understand those individual needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t see pet sitting as simply stopping by to feed an animal—I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, giving them extra playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable care, communication, and regular updates. Your pets will be treated like family while they’re with me I currently work full time at home. My schedule is very flexible and can accomomdate your pet's needs whether it is drop-in care or walks! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet receives their regular meals, fresh water, medications if needed, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to spend quality time with them, whether that means going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, giving them cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also take pride in being respectful of your home. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet’s space is cared for, and provide regular updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own
“She took great care and had patience with my kitten. Even when I made a mistake with scheduling, she was flexible and able to help me. I would definitely use Sabrina again!”
About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have open scheduling times besides holidays and personal appointments. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”

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.
