“We booked Alexis for drop in visits for our 13 year old cat Chloe for a week. This is the first time we’ve booked outside of family or friends so we were a little nervous. After meeting Alexis I immediately felt comfortable. Her daily updates with pictures were great! And looking at the pictures, I could tell Chloe was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Alexis again,”
“Caitlyn watched our two cats while we were out of town. As it was the first time we’ve left our cats, we were nervous about them being alone for extended periods of time and overnight, but Caitlyn gave us so much peace of mind. She provided them with exceptional care and documented her visits with photos of them each day (which we looked forward to seeing in the mornings and evenings). Both of our cats have specific dietary requirements for their health, and she carefully followed them. They were very happy and healthy when we returned. We will absolutely be hiring Caitlyn the next time we are away, and if you’re looking for a pet sitter, look no further!”
“Very kind and loving to our cats. She is a conscientious, communicative, and collaborative sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Nicole's care over the Labor Day weekend AND she made sure I was informed and updated on their care as well. Will book again if the opportunity arises!”
“Lauren was an absolute rockstar and I will 100% be hiring her again to look after my cat! I felt very comfortable with her from the beginning and appreciated that she came to the house for a meet and greet before I booked. Lauren sent me updates and pictures every day while we were away and even watered our plants. If you need a trustworthy and kind sitter, Lauren is the one to book.”
“Hanna was amazing. I have neuropathy in my hands and it is hard for me to give my cat medicine without help. Hanna was willing to modify how she usually watches cats and assist me while my wife was out of town. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”
About: Hello! I’ve always had a dog or multiple dogs around in my home since I was very little and we have always considered them a part of our family. I have volunteered at shelters and have fostered dogs before. On facebook recently, I raised almost $500 towards helping dogs in shelters. They have always had a special place in my heart. Dogs are such pure and friendly animals and any chance I have to spend more time with them, I would love! I love all kinds of dogs. I am able to administer medications as my dog had Diabetes. I am currently working full time Monday thru Friday but would be able to provide care in the mornings and evenings, along with any time on the weekends. I have always owned animals and have watched many dogs and cats before. I have my own pets as well and know how important it is to be able to have someone trustworthy to watch your precious pet(s)!
“Kelsey was wonderful! From our initial consultation, I knew she was the perfect person to care for our snuggly kitty, Biscuit. While we were on vacation, she was incredibly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos. I felt completely secure, happy, and relieved knowing Biscuit was in such caring hands. It was clear Kelsey genuinely cared about her and made sure she got plenty of attention and love. I would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely book her again!”
“Theresa was a great sitter! Reliable, communicative, observant, experienced, friendly, and kind. Theresa went above and beyond to ensure that my elderly spoiled cats were healthy and comfortable, even being sure that they had squirrels (their favorite) to watch on cat tv. Since one of my cats is insulin dependent diabetic, I always worry about leaving them but felt very confident that they were in great care with Theresa, and it was quite clear from the pictures and videos that they were also very happy and comfortable with her visits.”
About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.
About: **My Dog Care Experience 🐶🐾** Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! My love for dogs began in second grade when I got my first dog, and that love has continued to grow ever since. I’m now the proud pet parent of my own dog of 7 years, who is very loved, spoiled, and pampered! I know firsthand that dogs are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for and watching multiple dogs at a time. I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and timely care while making sure each dog receives the attention they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or sticking to a specific routine, I understand how important consistency and individualized care are for keeping dogs happy and comfortable. I know that leaving your furry family member with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing with their favorite toys, getting endless belly rubs, or simply relaxing with some company, I’m happy to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible! Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care! ❤️🐕 **Pet Care That Fits My Schedule 🐾** I currently have a busy weekday schedule, but I’m happy to dedicate my available time to caring for your furry family members! I’m available on weekends, Tuesdays after 6:00 PM, and Fridays after 5:00 PM. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for both of us. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while ensuring your pet’s routine and comfort remain a priority! I provide attentive, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other agreed-upon care needs. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family! I have my own dog of seven years who is very loved and pampered, and I treat every pet in my care with that same level of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, patience, and communication with pet parents, including updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make sure every pet receives reliable, individualized care and plenty of love while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine.
“Good communication, kind, considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my "non-traditional" pets also had water in addition to my cat. She was respectful of my house, and I will be requesting her services again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.
“We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.”
“Becca did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was away! Booking was such a smooth process. She was on time every day, and she sent daily photos and videos. Would definitely book again.”
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and over the years I've had the chance to care for both dogs and cats for family. I've watched my girlfriend's family's three senior cats (now 15, 14, and 21 years old) several times while they've been out of town, making sure they're fed, have fresh water, and keeping their litter boxes clean. Caring for a 21-year-old cat has taught me how important patience and consistency are with senior pets. I've also cared for my brothers' dogs—a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix—sometimes for several days at a time. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as older cats and always treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time student finishing my last semester of college while working part time as a digital forensics intern. During the summer, my internship is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and I'm available for pet care anytime after my internship each day. Once the fall semester begins, my internship is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 p.m. I'm also available most evenings and weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around you and your pet's needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I never force attention or affection if they are not comfortable. I believe pets should be able to approach and interact on their own terms. I make sure their needs are met through feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I always follow the owner's instructions and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life between cats and dogs. I’m currently a cat mama to a Maine Coone. I absolutely adore animals and have had much experience house sitting/walking/day trips in the past. I am a social worker full time, however my schedule is flexible as I travel and see patients in their homes. I can work my schedule around the pets needs. I have many past references for pet care if needed. I am responsible, timely, and professional and can be trusted 100% with your loved one’s care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ben Avon Heights
Jessica's daily drop-ins were just what our orange boy needed while we were away. Her updates were great, we could tell from the photos that he appreciated not just the food (I mean, he LOVES food), but the company and the attention as well. If we take another long trip like this, we'll definitely be looking to bring her back to take care of him again.
Letting a stranger into your home is always unnerving, and trusting them with your fur babies can be genuinely scary. When you combine the two, it can feel like a recipe for disaster. However, Cara completely put our minds at ease. She provided daily drop-in visits for our two senior boys, Ezekiel and Garoche, and our young girl, Molly. Cara was meticulous, she kept Ezekiel’s medication on a strict schedule and ensured the litter boxes were scooped daily. The highlight for us, though, were the daily photos; seeing those happy faces was the perfect reassurance while we were away. When we returned from our two-week cruise, we were greeted by happy cats rather than 'grumpy' ones who felt neglected! We knew from our initial meet-and-greet that Cara was the right choice for our little treasures. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!
We booked Alexis for drop in visits for our 13 year old cat Chloe for a week. This is the first time we’ve booked outside of family or friends so we were a little nervous. After meeting Alexis I immediately felt comfortable. Her daily updates with pictures were great! And looking at the pictures, I could tell Chloe was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Alexis again,
Lindsay was able to come feed our cats and fix our auto-feeder on extremely short notice while we were away. The cats loved her, including our little black cat who is usually afraid of strangers. She was super nice and very communicative. Thank you Lindsay!
It was so nice to have Jennifer looking after our cat. She showed up every day with pictures and commentary on hour things were going at home. This was our first time using Rover but we'll be using it again in the future. It provided us so much peace of mind during our travels.

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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
