“Kelly took such great care of my kitties and was so thorough with each visit! She made sure to provide updates and photos the entire time. I can’t speak highly enough and will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Michelle did a great job keeping us updated on our cat during her drop in visits and was had a quick response time to messages. Despite our cat working hard on creating chaos in the house she left our house clean.”
About: While newer to professional pet care, I have been around animals my entire life. I am comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m a responsible, patient person who understands that every dog is different. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their usual routine, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your dog company while you’re out of town. I’m looking forward to meeting new dogs, getting some fresh air, and helping make your life a little easier! I work from 7:30-4pm Monday-Friday so my main availability is weeknights and weekends. I have some flexibility for lunch time drop ins depending on location and my schedule. Let me know what you are looking for and we can hopefully make it work! When caring for your pet in your home, you can trust that I’ll be respectful of both your pet and your space. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also send you a detailed update and a few photos so you know how things are going!
“Abigail was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. It was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable which is all I could ask for. Highly recommend! 🐱💕”
“It was my first time leaving my kittens and the pictures she sent were very reassuring. My kittens looked very comfortable in the pictures she sent me. Everything seems to have been done as expected.”
“Alexandria was very reliable and loving to my cats , Cornelius and Charlotte. I will definitely re-book with her in the future. She also sent nice photos of my cats with each visit .”
“Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter! She sent us pictures every day, gave our cats so much love and attention, and made sure they had plenty of fun and playtime. She even bought them a new toy, which was such a thoughtful surprise! Her communication was excellent, and she always responded promptly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy, loved, and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a young girl. As a child we had cats. As a young adult I worked for a grooming, daycare, and boarding facility for 16 years. The only reason I stopped working was because of the birth of might twins.I also volunteered for a pet rescue, a pet shelter, and of course owned my own dogs, cats, and hamster. I’m a mom of 7! Some grown , some in college, and my youngest 2 are 9 year old twins. I have plenty of time during the days to walk, spend time, cuddle, and love on your furry family members. My specialty is mid day breaks/walks or check ins while you’re away or have a long day at work. I am aware of the tremendous responsibility it is caring for your pet. I have my own pups and kitties and will give the same love, care, and respect my babies receive.
“Angela is reliable, cat friendly and makes you feel at ease knowing she drops in. She made friends with my unsocial cat. That has made us especially glad we had her services.”
“We had a great experience with John. Not only was he able to help us out in a pinch, (just before a holiday weekend with meet and greet promptly scheduled) our dog loved him and he executed care instructions as planned. He exceeded our expectations of a drop-in sitter. John was a great communicator, giving us daily updates about our dog, sending pictures, and reaching out with major things of notice (nothing bad, but our cat was up to no good). We plan to book John again the next time we need some help with our dog!”
“After a meet and greet last week, Morgan dropped in this weekend to see Luna, our 8 yr old Lab. She arrived right on time, fed her, and took her outside. Morgan texted when she got there, when she left and also to tell us how Luna did - along with a picture. When we got home Luna was very happy. Luna is blind and Morgan did great with her. I’m looking forward to having Morgan back again.”
“Emily took great care of my corgi through drop-in visits while I was away for the weekend, helping me out with a last-minute request. Her updates were on time with lots of photos, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with Emily.”
“I cannot say enough about how great Sam was with our fur-babies. She really took the time with them and made our going away super stress free for us and them. We don’t go away often but will definitely look to use Sam again and will recommend and sing her praises to whoever will listen. Thank you so much Sam!!! I cannot say enough how much we appreciate you!!!”
“Kaitlyn took such good care of our babies on a last minute booking!! This was our first time using Rover & we are very pleased. She was kind, courteous, & made sure to send lots of photo updates! We would definitely recommend her & will definitely be booking her again😊”
About: Hello owners! I'm Melanie and I've had cats & dogs in my life for well, my entire life! My best friend was a German Shepard I got for Valentines day as a little girl. You'll know I'm the right sitter for you once your dog meets me, and you too of course. Your pet will be beyond comfortable here. There is plenty of space to walk and run around with your dog, or just lounge around cat style with the cats. (Don't worry about their paws being burned on a walk during a hot day! On days too hot I wouldn't want my bare feet on the pavement either so of course I wouldn't allow your dog to do that. There's grass here for a reason!) Your pet is allowed all over the house and even allowed to sit on the couch and enjoy some snuggle time, or if they're tired take a nap on the other end of the couch snuggled up with their favorite toy. Need to take certain medication? Certain walk schedule, a bath maybe? Anything and everything I will do to make your pet feel as comfortable as if they were home and to give you peace of mind. I respect animals greatly and am not one to judge for any breed, looks, injury, ect. Since I was recently laid off I have all the time in the world to give to your furry companion. They will fit into my routine perfectly. Wake up, bathroom, wash up and eat breakfast. Then it's hours of play time! Going for walks, playing fetch or tug of war. Whatever they like to do the most, we'll do it! Of course having water throughout the day. We have to stay hydrated!). Have dinner and start to unwind and settle down as the day comes to an end. There are three doors that need to be opened for anyone to even get out of the house, so no escapes are happening here! I have a very large backyard that is secluded from the road and any other neighbors. We live in a smoke free home. Your pet undoubtedly will feel safe and secure here. No matter what I have to do, I will do it to help ease the stress of being away from mom or dad.

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.
