“Kayla accepted my last minute booking and helped take great care of my cat Tilly while I was away! She was very responsive and sent updates/pictures. I would recommend her”
“Rachel's initial meeting went great. She was perfectly on time (actually early) and got to meet my cat. I know this will be a good choice for me in trusting her to take care of Chitty.”
“We needed someone to keep an eye on our kitties on sort of last minute notice and Olivia was so accommodating to meet us just as we were departing for the airport. She sent very cute daily photos and notes about her drop-in visits with them. Definitely felt they were in good care under Olivia’s watch!”
“Patti took great care of our kitty Lychee! He needs medication every 12h and he’s pretty skittish. She was very patient chasing him to grab him and gently giving him his oral meds. She also got along super well with our other kitty Mochi who is very shy, she was even able to pet both of them. We’ll definitely book her again when we’re out of town to check on them or to give meds!!”
“Kyla always goes above and beyond to accommodate us. She is careful with the cats, replies quickly and is trustworthy. We have been hiring her for the last year and we never had any issue. It`s clear that the cats love her.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and currently have two dogs of my own. I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, where I cared for and spent time with animals of different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Your pets will be treated with the same love, kindness, and care that I give my own! In my photos you will be my two dogs and many other dogs I have helped care for. I am currently a college student and am looking for ways to help out in my free time! I will mainly be available on the weekends and some weekends. I promise to treat your animals just a well as I treat my own. I have two dogs and two cats so I have lots of experience caring for animals. I know how stressful it can be to trust others with your animals so any list given will be followed exactly.
“I highly recommend her, she is very responsible, she arrives on time and takes good care of your pet, she sends you photos of the moment, which I thought was very nice of her”
About: I've had many pets all my life, multiple dogs and cats. I've dealt with all different personalities with our cats. I love animals and have always had a soft spot for them. I'm currently a Sophomore at UT Tyler, and have two classes in person and the rest online. My week is pretty clear, my cat is self sufficient with her automatic feeder and litter box. I would take the dogs on walks, care for them throughout the day, feed when needed. For cats, I would make sure they are drinking enough water and well stimulated.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
About: I have been around animals all my life! I currently have 5 babies! My little boy, 2 dogs (a lab mix & a chi-weenie) and 2 cats (a tortie queen & a maine-coon mix). From the time I was a young girl through my college years I helped my grandparents take care of cows and chickens. I currently work part time and I'm a delivery driver as well so it fits perfectly into my schedule! Currently I am able to look after pets on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but I'm hoping to expand into the work week soon. I'll look after your babies as if they were my own! I have a fenced in inner back yard as well as a fenced in outer yard. Inside I have two litter boxes for the kitties.
About: I’ve always had a love for taking care of animals and I got to pursue my passion in high school by taking the Whitehouse Vet Med program to become a certified Vet assistant. I’m currently working on getting into the tjc Vet program they have as well. I have plenty of animals at home as well as many of my friends. They would sometimes ask me questions about their pets regarding their health or they would ask me to care for them while they’re gone. I’m almost always surrounded by pets. For house sitting services: Text me for pricing arrangements! I am negotiable depending on where you live, your ideal budget, and all! I have two dogs at home so if they were coming to my home with me, I’d first put them up or take them somewhere else so the pet I’m caring for can get comfortable and used to the new setting. Then I will do all that is instructed by the owner whether that be following their food schedule, walking, or letting them use the restroom outside.
“Both of our cats loved her, she even managed to win over our not as friendly cat. Kendra gave great updates the whole time we were gone which made me feel a lot better about leaving them at home. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’m an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I’ve taken care of and owned both cats and dogs of all sizes. I understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, extra health needs or just giving lots of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I have a flexible schedule and can be made available if allocated enough time to arrange my schedule! Please try and give 3 days in advance if possible! I do live in an apartment complex, I have access to Dog parks and lots of grass and free space for them to wander and go on walks! I am a relaxed dog sitter, they are allowed to sit on my couch and bed with me! I have hardwood floors and puppies or seniors who are not pee trained are not an issue.
“Rachel was very responsive any time I needed to update something. She came twice a day to care for my cats while I was gone. Each visit she sent me a text and pictures, which is what I like. Litter boxes were clean and cats were calm when I returned. I will definitely use Rachel again.”
About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I have one golden retriever who loves to play and make new friends. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. We love walking around our neighborhood and going to the park! I am currently a stay at home mom to my 10 month old daughter. I am available throughout the day and weekends and can definitely work with a flexible schedule to accommodate. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up. I have pets of my own I love and care for, but I absolutely adore meeting a new face and a new personality! My boss and her peers have relied on me before to house sit for them while they are away or even just to stop by and let them out on a treat and potty break while they’re off running errands or working. I have a pretty open schedule as I am a Licensed Esthetician I am able to adjust my schedule accordingly most times. That being said as a young Esthetician I do have set hours on somedays. Which are usually: Mondays, Tuesdays, and sometimes Saturdays. 8am-10pm If you have any questions about my schedule don’t be afraid to ask. There sometimes is room for adjustments on those days as well. I have a fenced backyard your fur baby can enjoy with many trees for shade in this hot weather! Almost any accommodations can be made if needed.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bascom
10/10!!! Best sitter I could ask for! I’ve always worried about leaving my babies with someone else, but not with Jessica! She ensure my babies received some love when she came by, fed and gave them water, noted their litter boxes were being used, and even sent photos of how they were doing. The ease I felt to be able to be okay knowing they were well taken care of was much needed and secured Jessica as my sitter for all future needs! Thank you so much for caring for my littles!!!

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.
