About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriend’s dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow the owner’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.
“Kate was absolutely wonderful ( my cats told me so) . She was a complete professional, always kept daily updates with us, and did more than anticipated. We highly recommend her.”
“Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Marion was so sweet when visiting Luca, and very accommodating with scheduling. She sent lots of pictures and gave my cat love and attention. I look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Mackenzie was an amazing cat sitter! She kept us updated on how Maple was doing, including how she was eating, and sent photos every time she stopped by. She was prompt, friendly, courteous, and incredibly reliable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Maple was in her care. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“I’m very attached to my cat and I get nervous leaving him with people but I’m very Pleased with Donna and Kim’s service! I didn’t have to worry once and receiving photos of my little guy made it even better. Definitely recommend this sweet couple.”
“Our gratitude to Amy is ongoing for her exceptional care of our kitty cat Sayde. Our previous reviews are only strengthened by Amy’s consistent and caring nature not only with Sayde but also with us! Thank you Amy, very much! We look forward to upcoming opportunities to benefit from Amy’s outstanding care.”
“We were traveling for a vacation when our “pet-friendly” hotel informed us that cats weren’t allowed. Paul was quite willing to accept our two kitties in short notice and took excellent care of them while we could continue with our travel plans.”
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
“Yujie was amazing with my two dogs. He was incredibly helpful and always responded very quickly, even last minute. His communication was excellent, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell right away that he is kind, patient, and truly cares about the animals he takes care of. I will absolutely continue to use Yujie for my dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate animal care.”
“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”

Amy once again cared for our kitty cat Sayde, and once again we were delighted! The high level of comfort we receive from Amy’s attentive care of Sayde cannot be overstated. Our enthusiastic feedback last September 2025 when Amy first cared for Sayde stands solid and is reiterated. We extend our sincerest appreciation to Amy; and we continue to strongly recommend her and would feel fortunate to have her first-rate services again in times ahead.

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.
