âBreanna was amazing! She left adorable and complete notes, and the pictures showed how comfortable my dog was with her. She is very professional, and will definitely use her services in the future.â


âEileen was great: reliable, responsive, and sent lovely photos after each visit - even of our skittish kitty under the bed. Very grateful for the stress-free pet care while we were away! Would definitely ask Eileen to take care of the kitties again next time.â
âJacqueline was great with my three cats, checking in on them twice a day while I was away. They were shy with her at first but she played with them a bunch and they warmed up to her. My cats were fed and cared for, she sent pictures every day and the timing of her visits was consistent.â

âBrielle took great care of my 3 cats. She took the time to make sure she knew how to give an inhaler medication to one of my cats, reaching out during her first visit for clarification. I appreciated the descriptions of how the cats were each visit, as well as the photos. I will definitely request Brielle for future kitty care!â

About: I've owned multiple small breeds in my life (mainly Chihuahuas), as well as pet sitting for large breeds like Boxers, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. I regularly take care of my friends cat in their home during vacations, as well as taking care of her medications. I'm available for walking and drop-in visits weekdays after 4:30 pm and pet-sitting in home on Friday nights and weekends! I cannot accommodate boarding currently. I will always follow client instruction on how they'd prefer their pets to be taken care of and am very attentive, and I'm ready to be active, chill, playful, whatever suits the needs of your pet.

About: Hello! My nameâs Selena, and Iâm a medical student who genuinely loves animals. Iâll care for your pet like my own and always provide reliable, attentive care. I will also keep you updated periodically with messages and send you detailed Rover cards! (: I offer flexible dog walks and drop-in visits before or after class and on every other weekends. Iâll make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. Iâll follow their routine carefully and send updates with photos after every visit so you always know how theyâre doing.
âAnthony sent pictures every day and was extremely flexible when our trip was cut short due to inclement weather. He brought in some mail and the cat's spaces were tidy. Thank you!â

âThank you for loving our energetic dog while we were away!!! Lindsey was amazing and Bruno was so well taken care of. She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos! đśâ

About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. Once the school year begins I am available for housesitting for pets that can be left alone for a workday. I can offer drop ins and walks after 3:30 pm on school days. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.

About: As an attorney, I am both loving and responsible. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since highschool. I have experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I recently trained a rescue puppy who my family now calls our own! He is very energetic and reactive, so I know how to handle dogs who can be challenging. I grew up in a home with a dog and three cats and spent lots of time volunteering at an animal shelter. Animal care comes naturally to me! I am a professional, but I have a flexible schedule! I love taking a break from all the reading to play, walk, and care for your family member with fur. I truly value your trust and privacy. I am very accommodating to any preferences you have for your home or pet care. I will follow routines or schedules, remember instructions, and send updates or photos as often as you like!
âTara was wonderful and I recommend her. We were fortunate to find her. She took care of Sozin so well and she put my fears to rest. I was worried at first because I had scheduled time away, and he had been placed with us for only a few months. I could not bear to take him out of our home so soon after his arrival. Thank you Tara and Rover. It was great service.â

âSirJahad was an incredible cat sitter for us! With this being our first time having someone not family watch our girl, she was attached to him from the meet and greet. We received videos and photos with daily updates throughout the day. I would highly recommend using SirJahad! We will in the future for sure!â

About: I have been a pet owner to most animals over 30 years. I have experience in all breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I love to play with them in the yard, I make sure they have water at all times and I stick with their schedule for eating. Animals are like my children though I do have human older children too. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have had many dogs over the years and even a few cats. When my children were young they each had their own guinea pig and chicken. Yes I said chicken.!! I recently bought an alpaca who lives on a beautiful farm and I go and visit him often. My main job I work from home but my pets are never by themselves for longer than 4-5 hours. I have owned pets my whole adult life and could never see myself not having this wonderful responsibility! I make sure when arriving at a clients house that I greet each pet. Then we got outside for potty break and playtime. I normally stay about 30 minutes. I make sure they have fresh water and give them a treat if allowed.

About: Reliable, calm, and attentive pet sitting for when you canât be there. I treat every pet like theyâre my own, keeping their routines consistent, their environment comfortable, and their stress low. I focus on more than just feeding and check-insâI take time to connect, play, and make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for. Youâll always get clear, consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether itâs walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I show up with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals so you can have peace of mind while youâre away. As a photographer, my schedule is structured and flexible, which allows me to give your cat consistent, intentional care throughout the day. I typically book photo sessions only from 5â7 PM, Thursday through Sunday, which means my mornings, afternoons, and most of my weekdays are wide open for pet sitting, visits, and quality time with your cat. Outside of those short evening sessions, Iâm fully available to focus on pet care. whether thatâs morning feedings, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. I donât have kids or outside obligations pulling me away, so my time and attention can stay centered on your pets. I prioritize safety respect and trust in every home I enter I treat each space with care and responsibility making sure everything is left exactly as I found it or better I follow instructions closely keep routines consistent for your pet and am mindful of both their comfort and your homes security I was raised by my grandparents so showing deep respect for other peoples things and their pets was ingrained in me from a young age You can feel confident knowing I am attentive reliable and intentional in everything I do creating a calm and safe environment where your cat can stay relaxed and you can feel at ease while you are away
âNever before has anyone exceeded my expectations in as glowing a manner at a time when I needed it most like Lauren! My cat Rosieâs tendency is to usually shy under the bed but this heaven-sent petsitter was able to coax her out and send me the pictures and even videos I needed so badly to see during my vacation amidst my separation anxiety from Rosie! For this, I continue to be grateful to Lauren. In the past, Rosie would be very upset when I returned from my vacations but when I came back from having had Lauren pet sit, Rosie greeted me very happily! I have nothing but glowing things to say about Lauren yet as I fear writing all my praises would be too long a review, I will conclude by saying that if you are looking for a petsitter that is professional, reliable, responsible and not only loves animals but has a way with them, look no further than Lauren!â
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life but I truly started caring for dogs when I was 11 years old. My family adopted an Akita who was 100lbs+ and I helped care and train him from ages 3 months to 8 years. I have experience with medium and very large dogs, specifically reactive dogs. I am very big on maintaining healthy boundaries and gaining the trust of your dog, especially on walks. I also am experienced in bathing dogs with different fur/hair types as I have also worked with doodles. I hope to another person your dog can trust. I am an early bird and have no problem with early morning walks and care. I am currently studying as well so my schedule varies throughout the year. I am always free on Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 12:00 pm or before 9:30 am. I like to be familiar with the outdoor space your dog spends the most time in and other dogs (if known) that live on the street. It is also very important to me to be aware of any allergies or sensitivities your pet might have as I want them to be safe inside and outside. Whenever I leave a clients home I always make sure I spot all the animals I am caring for before I leave, making sure they arenât stuck in places they shouldnât be.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
This is the first time I used Rover, and I chose Mary to take care of my three cats Chai, Serena, and Yasmina. During the introduction, I was impressed with Mary's love of animals and her friendly nature. I felt that I could trust her with my babies as well as my house. During my time away, Mary communicated in a timely manner and share photos of her drop in visits. She even managed to give medicine to Serena, who is not easy to give medicine to! I would absolutely ask Mary to take care of my pets again. She is reliable, kind-hearted, and trustworthy. Thank you so much, Mary!!!

We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Megan took care of our cat family of 5 plus 2 outdoor feral cats. The responsibilities included giving one of the cats two medications daily, multiple instructions for feeding wet/dry food based on individual preferences, and litter box maintenance. Megan did a great job by providing pictures and updates on all the entire crew on a daily basis. Additionally, she genuinely appeared to enjoy their company and I am sure the feeling was mutual. We would definitely use Megan again for future needs.
Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away. We really appreciated Juliaâs warmth, professionalism, and communicativeness. The updates she sent throughout our trip were very reliable and reassuring. She was very easy to connect with and our cats seemed happy and healthy upon our return. We hope to book with Julia again!

Hunter is a conscientious, loving and professional person. She cared for my diabetic cat for two weeks and I received glowing reviews from him lol. I very much appreciate Hunterâs style as well. She was relaxed and confident around Mick. Hunter is and will be on Team Mick for future trips!!!!

Melissa was fabulous. She was reliable and friendly and conscientious. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I needed to extend her visits she did so without hesitation. She spent time with my cats and sent great updates and photos throughout.

Margot took very good care of firefly! She even took the time to play with him which we really appreciate! Firefly seemed to warm right up to her which speaks volumes to her natural love and attentiveness for cats! Also , she was very adaptable when we had a little key /lock mishap (my fault). thanks again ! Definitely will book again

Alexis was amazing with my cat! đ I was really nervous about leaving my cat with a new person, but Alexis completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind, attentive, and communicative. She sent me so many pictures and videos of Taco looking happy and cared for. Iâm so grateful she took such great care of my kitty and I would absolutely book her again! Thank you Alexis!

We booked Brielle to do daily check ins on our cat, Roxy, while away on our wedding and honeymoon. Working with Brielle was easy and stress free. Brielle gave us daily updates that made us feel confident and comfortable that Roxy was well cared for while we were away! Roxy who is shy at first warmed up to Brielle quickly again making us feel good. We would recommend Brielle and will book again in the future!

Emma arrived for drop-ins as scheduled, had excellent communication, and was very patient and understanding as my old man cat was having a particularly difficult time when I was away for a weekend. She tracked him down wherever he was squeezed under sleeping, took care of his symptoms that had flared up from some chronic conditions, and was very communicative about how to provide the best care (including decisions around his insulin injections) given the situation. I'd be happy to book her again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
