“Thanks so much for watching our kittens! They seemed a lot less stressed when we came home! I can tell they loved your attention because they all are demanding to be brushed now! HA!”
“Katie was great! She sent pictures and hung out with my cat while I was gone. I feel like she went above and beyond and even took care of things that I didn’t ask, which I really appreciate! I came home to a clean kitty food area and clean litter! And a happy cat!”
“We loved having Shaniese stop in to care for our kitties . We have a diabetic cat that needs daily insulin and She gave us peace of mind while away. We are already planning to use her again in the future !”
“Madison was great with my cats while I was gone for a long weekend! She was extremely flexible with their specific individual dietary needs and went above and beyond with their care! I will definitely be a returning customer :)”
“The cats are alive. You can't really tell with cats, but Lydia sent pictures every day of them mostly sleeping as again they're cats. They ignored me completely when I got home which was to be expected so Lydia did an excellent job of caring for the cats while I was gone.”
About: I find taking care of pets a therapeutic experience and try to make it the same for them. I treat them with respect they deserve and truly enjoy just hanging out with them. I currently work part-time and know my schedule ahead of time to know whether I can or cannot care for a pet. I will not accept a pet care request. If I do not believe I can fully invest that required time to do so. That is as much for them as it is for me to make it a truly meaningful experience. I have a fenced in backyard for dogs to roam during their potty breaks or to play with them. I also give them free rein in my house to the degree in which they deserve. I can also spend the night with them at their location or at mine. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with me to make it a meaningful experience for both of us.
“Sam is a godsend. Our old man cranky cat loves her and she is always so willing to work with our last minute plans. Family is full of chronic ‘oh by the way!’ Folks and so we don’t get a lot of heads up. She is always fantastic.”
“Sheryl did a great job for us for a last minute trip. She took good care of my cats and left everything just as it should be. We haven’t met in person yet because this was so last minute but she was a delight to speak with on the phone and did a FaceTime visit with me so I could show her around and how to take care of my cats. We will definitely use her again. She has also sat for my Granddog Jax and they loved her as well. She is loving and attentive with the animals.”
“Beau, our GSP, took right to Susie from their first meet and greet! Susie is kind and has a clear love for dogs. She checked in on Beau for us while we were away for a long day - she was punctual and made sure our boy got lots of attention and exercise to hold him over until we got home. If you need someone to care for and love on your fur babies while you’re away, I recommend Susie.”
“Heather was so communicative and I felt like she was fully capable when I met her before she pet sat for us- she took every bit of information for our crazy mini hobby farm and did amazing! Would love to hire her back anytime we have a trip!”
About: I am a recently graduated student that is local to the area. I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and turtles but I'm always looking for something new. The age and weight of animals have I have cared for is varied. I'm used to giving medication if needed. While owners are away they will always know if something is wrong with their house or pets and will not lack on receiving picture updates from their furry babies. I do work full time 4 days a week. If that presents a problem with your dog’s bathroom schedule then I can bring in one of my back up sitters. I do approve the sitter and schedule with you ahead of time to ensure that you know who will be in your house and around your animals. Whatever keeps your pets happy and safe. I like to ensure that pets are exercised and loved thoroughly. Your animals will be nothing short of happy while I’m in your house taking care of them. You will always know if I feel like something may be off with them.
About: I have always had pets in our household. We currently have three large breed dogs and four cats. I have walked beside pets with cancer, needing special attention, all varieties of dogs and cats. I have trained a therapy dog and worked with herding and agility dogs. I love to play ball with dogs or just snuggle with them. I currently work full time but can make arrangements for any time of day to care for your pets. I can be flexible around their needs. Each visit will be filled with love and fun while you are away. I will feed, water, give medicines, and play with your fur baby.
About: I am a Biological Science major currently looking for work! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was child including bigger and smaller breeds of dogs, and a variety in ages/temperament of cats. I also have a good amount of knowledge in caring for fish, reptiles, rodents, and birds. (Not an expert, just well read!) I have also been employed previously as a Senior Caregiver under Senior Helpers Lexington, so I know caring for your fur baby will be a walk in the park (pun intended)! So weekly, I do volunteer at my local high school marching band as a percussion tech, (Go Mustangs!), so afternoons, other than Wednesday, are a no go. I am willing to do overnights (except Friday and Saturday nights) starting at 8:30 pm! Anytime during the weekday between the times of 10 am-3:30 pm are available to me! If there’s an emergency, as long as communicated and I am able, I can be more flexible with these exceptions in my schedule. My own home is not available as of right now, but at a clients home, whatever is asked of me will be completed to highest level of care and consideration. Anything I am unsure about will be communicated as promptly as possible. My main goal for caring for your loved one is that they are safe, happy, and nourishingly enriched ie taking for long walks, eating on their schedule, and giving medication if needed.
About: My family has had big dogs since before I was born. Ive bathed them, walked them, fed them, and loved on them. I also understand dog body language. I will be back for winter break on December 15, and I will not have anything to do for that month, so I can shape my schedule around taking care of your animals. I am good at loving on dogs and I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters walking dogs. I am a good candidate for this job.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, horses, and other farm animals. I am reliable and strive to provide excellent care to your animal and treat them as if they were my own. I have been in the equestrian world for >10 years and am comfortable cleaning stalls, moving horses, and exercising them if needed. I am currently working full-time in an ofice, but I am available in the mornings anytime before 9 AM and evenings anytime after 5 PM for drop-in visits! At this time, I cannot offer overnight stays. At this time, I am not able to care for client's pets as I have cats of my own that do not do well with other animals. In your home, I am happy to care for your animals however you'd like (e.g., out during the day/in at night).
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Balltown
I am delighted with Michelle's help...it was hard for Smokey and Snow with me away and they were worried about me but Michelle really took good care of them....as a pet owner I can't express the delight and excitement in Snows face when I opened the door and returned home...she licked my face and jumped for joy to see me.
Shaniese was excellent and insanely punctual. She made sure to send us plenty of photos and videos of our fur baby, which really gave us some peace of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely be booking her for any future pet sitting we might possibly need.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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 Meet & Greet .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
