“Amber and her family are wonderful! We are so grateful to have found her to help with our kitties when we are away. She is very communicative, and I always know my babies are in excellent hands.”
“Kim was wonderful with my kitties, I will absolutely be using her again. You know its a good sign when KJ comes out of hiding to see her. 😊 Wonderful communication and so good to my babies, thank you again Kim!”
“Ashlee took great care of my dog and was communicative. She made me feel at ease using a pet sitter for the first time. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others. Experienced with small to large breeds dogs with elder care experience including walking/standing restrictions, special diet needs, and medication distribution. I'm currently studying online courses and can be available most hours and days for pet care with little restrictions. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, treating them as if they were my own. My main goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize anxiety while you are away. I strictly follow all feeding, medication, and exercise guidelines, and I provide photo updates after each visit for your total peace of mind.
“if i could give adelynn more than 5 stars i would. from the moment we had the meet and greet it was a immediate yes to let her drop in on the kitties. she left photos on rover and send videos to my number to put my mind at ease. adelynn was extremely responsive, polite, and kind. i recommend her to anyone who needs a little extra help when leaving town!”
“She is a godsend! I have an older very timid dog that really struggles with new people. I honestly was worried that she wouldn’t go outside with the first visit when I wasn’t home. Within two days she she was totally OK with being around Jennie! Jennie has also been so kind to her and mindful, for instance, it was really hot today so she kept her in the grass instead of the pavement. She sits with her even when she’s done with the walk. I could not have asked for a better human to watch my pup! I have her on repeat for drop ins 3x every week while I’m at work and will continue to do so!”
“Kayla was everything we could hope for in a petsitter! She communicated quickly and effectively, she was flexible, and she showered our kitties with love from the first meet and greet. With her extensive background with animals, we were reassured that our kitties were in good hands. She provided pictures and a great written summary of each visit. She even proactively left our faucet with a drip when we got those unexpectedly cold nights while out of town and brought in our mail! On top of all that, she left our kitties a Christmas gift and a sweet card. Seriously, what more could I ask for? We will continue to utilize Kayla as long as she's available. It's so nice to have a reliable pet sitter again!! Definitely give her a shot.”
“Christen (who works with Ryan) took care of our two old cats as a last minute booking while we were away for a family emergency. She provided updates/pictures at every visit which allowed me to worry less about my furbabies so I was able to focus on my family. When we returned home, the cat’s water bowls were full, their litter box was clean, and there was no food dishes in the sink. I can’t recommend her enough and will continue to request her to cat sit when we leave town. Thanks Christen!”
“Alexis is a good communicator and spent time brushing and loving on our kitties in addition to tidying things we left less than perfect in our rush out during this tough post-hurricane time. Much appreciated & will definitely book her again if she’ll have us! Came home to calm, happy, cats and no surprises on the carpet! Thank you!”

About: I have had dogs, fish, and rodents all my life. I volunteered at the Asheville Humane Society early into my teenage years. My previous job was at a dog daycare, which I worked at for one year. After I left that job I began working as a pet bather at a grooming salon. I recently left that job as I wanted to go back to school, and now started volunteering for the Asheville Humane Society again. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, fish, rabbits, pretty much anything. I am happy do feed, walk, play with, or just snuggle with any critter you might have! Beginning in August I will be in school and will not be able to do any services until 1:00 or later on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also go to church Sunday mornings and also cannot do any services before 1:00. However I do not have a job at the moment so other than those two things my schedule is pretty open! *Because of school if you are wanting to book me for house sitting longer than two nights you MUST have WiFi* I am more than happy to provide any service you would like me to do for your fur baby in your home. I do not mind long walks/hikes, preparing complicated meals, playing, whatever you need. I never raise my voice or get physical with animals. I will care for them with love and care!

I am very pleased with Ryan taking care of my 2 cats, Kate and Jenna. Jenna has always been stand offish and skittish around people outside of our family, this time Ryan won her over. I got multiple pictures of Jenna asking for pets and playtime. Knowing bit my girls were being not only well cared for but getting personal playtime in as well was very comforting.
Mallory was amazing! Super friendly and so great with our kitties. We had a special circumstance with having to keep them separated and she was a pro! Lots of great communication and cute pics daily. She really went above and beyond. We will most definitely call her again and highly recommend booking her services. Thank you Mallory!
Jennifer did a great job this time taking care of Madeleine the kitten and also Caly, the dog. She had to walk Caly this time and she sent photos and notes. I will definitely be using her again as she follows all directions and seems to love all animals. What a jewel!!!!
My cat decided to become an escape artist right as I left for my vacation. These guys went above and beyond looking for her. They spent a long time looking on the first day when we confirmed that she was missing and continued combing the bushes and roads daily until I returned home. Excellent sitters who will love your pet as you do!

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
