“Michelle is absolutely amazing and has taken amazing care of our fur babies every time we have used her. She lets me know exactly what she does each and every time and sends lots of pictures ...”
“Carla was exceptional with my 2 cats for drop in visits. She is very thorough and communicative. One of my cats takes oral medication and she was able to successfully administer it every day! The cats looked very happy and content in every photo update she provided.”
“I highly recomend LeaAne! She was dependable, caring, and took great care of my cats while I was away. I really appreciated knowing my cats were checked on and cared for every other day. Great communication and very trustworthy. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I'm a certified veterinary technician and have worked in veterinary medicine for almost 20 years. I have dogs and cats of my own and have done pet-sitting since 2009. I'm available daily for drop-in visits and walks. Taking excellent care of pets is my top priority and I provide each of them the time and attention they deserve as beloved family members. I am attentive and detail-oriented, always paying close attention to possible risks in the home that could pose a danger to your pet. I am careful of doors, cleaning products, accessible food and medications, etc.
“Chrystal was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute and she was so flexible with helping us out. Each visit she provided multiple pictures and details about how each kitty was doing. One of my cats is a little shy and salty and Chrystal did a great job tailoring the care to her! We definitely will be using her again!”
About: I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends pets. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine care for every pet I look after. I treat each animal like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and specific needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training like potty routines and leash manners, as well as providing gentle, patient care for older pets who may need a slower pace or extra attention. I’m also very observant when it comes to behavior and health, and I always keep owners updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule, so caring for your pet fits easily into my day. I’m able to plan my time around feedings, walks, and visits, making sure pets stay on their normal routine and feel comfortable. Because of this flexibility, I can give each pet plenty of attention and not rush through my time with them. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them attention, patience, and companionship. I also keep the home clean and tidy—refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining litter boxes or outdoor areas. I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“AMAZING!! It was my first time using Rover due to an emergency housing situation, I was so lucky to have found him! Super quick and responsive and took care of my sweet boy so well with so many updates! He was so kind and attentive to my cat, truly an amazing person! He followed everything to a T, would definitely hire again ❤️❤️”
About: I have 4 years of dog sitting for multiple families of different breeds of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own that I have had since they were puppies. My oldest dog has diabetes, so I have a lot of experience with dogs that require medication and special attention. I have a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs, and love going on walks, playing, and just cuddling with them. My daily schedule is pretty open. I can housesit any day of the week. Most days I can be over to walk, play, and let out animals every 4 hours or more if needed. I will make sure the pets go about their usual schedule and routine as much as possible. I will give them love and attention and ensure they are at ease and comfortable when caring for them.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was in high school, and over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I understand that every pet has their own personality. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others are happiest having their own space, and I’m comfortable with both. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and as happy as possible while you’re away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies with someone else, so I’ll send plenty of updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have a little extra peace of mind. I also have a pet camera available, so if your pet is staying with me, you’ll have the option to check in and see them live while they’re in my care. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being well taken care of. 🐾💕 I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so my weekends are my most flexible! I’m available for evening care during the week and have much more availability for drop-ins, walks, boarding, and house sitting on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and make sure I can give them the time and attention they need. 🐾💕 I have two 8-month-old bunnies of my own who are very loved and definitely a little spoiled! 🐰💕 If I’m caring for your pet in my home, my bunnies will be moved from the living room into my guest room, where they’ll stay completely separate from your pet. This gives everyone their own safe, comfortable space to relax without any direct interaction. Your pet will have plenty of room to get comfortable, along with lots of love, attention, cuddles (if they want them!), playtime, and maybe a treat or two. I’m big on making animals feel at home and keeping their normal routine whenever possible. When I leave for work, I even like to leave the TV on so they have some background noise and don’t feel like the house is completely quiet. Most importantly, I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, treats, medications, routines, boundaries, and anything else that helps your fur baby feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕

“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my new kitten as always! My girl had her spay surgery a few days before Maria watched her, and Maria was very attentive to her needs and watched her stitches for any issues. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time boarding my kittens, and I was very nervous, but Adreana made the entire experience wonderful. She checked in with me daily and sent lots of pictures. I’ll definitely have Adreana care for them again on my next vacation! Thank you :)”

Savannah provided prompt and thoughtful care for my cat. I really just needed someone to check the food and litter box but she went way above that. Giving pets and brushings to her and even going so far as to cleaning up a mess my cat made! I will happily book Savannah again for my next trip!
Monica is a star, I cannot express how much I appreciate all she does for the kitties and for us. We get to enjoy our time away from home so much more just because of her and what she does. I'm not trying to be exaggerated. I'm just saying that I can see the difference when I have tried other sitters and they don't come even close to her. Thanks!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
