“Heather was absolutely incredible, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! After some disappointing experiences with other sitters in the past, I was nervous about leaving my cats while I was away, but Heather went way beyond anything I could have hoped for. She checked in on my girls four times a day, which is a lot, and every single time she gave them so much love, attention, and care. She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated throughout the entire trip, so there was never a moment where I had to wonder how they were doing or whether they were being taken care of. Most importantly, it was obvious from the pictures and updates just how comfortable and at ease my girls were with her. Being able to actually relax on vacation and know that they were safe, happy, and in such good hands meant more to me than I can say. Heather truly went above and beyond, and I’ve already recommended her to basically every friend and family member I know who has animals. 😂 Absolutely five stars. If you’re considering Heather to take care of your pets, don’t hesitate. I would trust her with my girls again in a heartbeat! ❤️”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have over the last 8 years been a pet parent myself! I currently have 6 cats and 1 sweet, cat-loving dog which has made me very familiar with different pet personalities, routines, and individual needs. My dog has also struggled with separation anxiety since he was first adopted and I worked patiently with him to help him feel more comfortable and secure. This assured me even more the importance of patience, consistency, understanding, and creating a calm, loving environment for animals who may need a little extra reassurance.

My home has a spacious, open-floor basement and main level, providing lots of room for indoor playtime, toys, and fun! I also live near several parks and in a walkable neighborhood where I enjoy taking my furry friends on walks, exploring, and getting fresh air!

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 .

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.
