“Pamela is great! She is punctual and our kitty loves her! She communicates regularly. She even went the extra mile and replaced the batteries in our touch-activated faucet. Thanks Pamela!”
“Another great sit with Chris! We really appreciated his flexibility when we had to return home a day early due to bad weather. Vittles was happy, healthy, and completely content when we got here - it was as if we’d never left. We feel very comfortable leaving Vittles in Chris’s care and hope to continue having him as our go-to sitter.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and cared for them for the last 4 years. I am 19 years old and extremely active, I love runs and long walks and playing with all types of pets. I’m responsible and will take very good care of your pets. Im currently working part time and have plenty of time to check in and stay over to care for pets. I work some nights and am usually back home before 8. I live and work by two simple rules, treat your house as if it were my own and to leave everything better than I found it.
“Thomas was AMAZING with our two kitties! He kept us updated and sent the funniest, cutest pics! Thomas is very professional, kind, and an expert with animals. He made the entire process easy and I felt lessed stress knowing our babies were in his care. I think our cats like him better than us! 😂”
About: My friends tell me I treat their pets like my own when I watch them! People have told me that they appreciate that I pay attention to details and send lots of updates. I have an elderly dog myself with special needs, have taken dog training classes and genuinely love animals! I am excited to learn about what care your dog needs and help them feel safe and cared for! I can do recurring drop ins once we have had our first sitting to make sure it’s a good fit! I have my calendar blocked off Tuesdays and Thursdays but feel free to reach out about one-offs! I work remotely, so I’d like to make myself available to help you out during the day with quick drop ins, short walks and potty breaks! My currently availability says the morning but I do have some availability in the afternoons at times. My dog is trained with positive reinforcement based methods. She is an older dog with medication requirements and I understand the extra care and play restrictions they can have! Whether it’s creating a quick interactive puzzle game or playing gently in the backyard, happy to help your dog get some attention during the day!
“Caitlin is the best sitter! She took care of our cat and was so thoughtful, attentive and sweet. We were so grateful for all the updates and pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Brittney was a godsend when we went out of town last minute. She was communicative from the jump and able to do a drop-in last minute to meet the cats and get to know our home. Her updates were extremely thorough and thoughtful, and she sent us lots of pictures. Not only is she competent, she clearly loves animals and spent time to gain the trust of our two cats, both with very different personalities. Would absolutely trust Brittney to watch our cats again.”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away visiting family. She played with them and loved on them and kept everything very clean! Would recommend and would use her services again!”
“Cera is amazing! She is kind, very responsive, and flexible. My mind was at ease knowing my cat was in the best hands while I was gone. She kept me updated with lots of adorable pictures and was happy to accommodate a couple other household tasks I asked her to do. I’m so glad to have found her and look forward to using her services in the future.”
About: I can handle any dog (or cat!) big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, counter surfers, etc. I have 8 years of pet and house sitting experience, as well as 8 years with my adorable pittie, Mushu. I’m able to cater to a wide variety of pet needs, and I’m level-headed and competent in emergencies. I’m a college student with a pretty spread out schedule, so I never have more that 3 hours blocked out at a time. Most of all, I love playing with furry friends - and I’m quite adept with a frisbee. I’m a student, so my schedule is fixed but leaves plenty of time for some W-A-L-K action. Daily Availability: 8:30AM-9:30AM 12:00PM-1:00PM 4:00PM-8:30PM Additional Availability: Monday, Wednesday: 1:00PM-2:30PM Tuesday, Thursday: 2:30PM-4:00PM Friday: 1:00PM-4:00PM Weekends: All Day I have experience house and pet sitting for 6 different families. I always make sure to leave with laundry done and everything very clean, and I can take care of household tasks (watering plants, taking in mail, etc.). I have a car that is welcome to all varieties of furry friends, in case of a requested dog park visit or an emergency. I’m great at keeping routines in place and making sure that nothing is out of the ordinary while you’re away. Lots of cuddles, walks, scritches, treats, and playtime!
About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.
“Indigo was absolutely amazing! I had daily updates about how my sweet bunny was doing and was sent multiple pictures each day. Indigo gave me updates about how my bunny was getting more comfortable and when I came home he did zoomies around the room letting me know how happy he was this week. I felt so safe and comforted knowing he was so well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future for my bunny as well as my dog if I leave her next time!!”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful! He came out to meet the cats beforehand and really listened to all of the information and spent time getting to know the kitties. He also read through and followed my written directions which are pretty extensive. He has top notch written communication skills. I generally got a several paragraph update on the cats each day, long with lots of daily pictures, and the info he sent was always very understandable and thorough. Alex couldn’t do mornings, so I had other people filling in. One of them accidentally locked the cat in a room that was supposed to be kept closed. Alex noticed, even though this particular cat will not come out to see anyone ever, and expressed his concern to me That he didn’t notice her food was being eaten. He then spent quite a while searching for the cat and managed to find her, and carry her out, even though she was really scared. He cleaned up the mess she made, and she must’ve been pretty happy with him because he saw her every day after that. He even left notes for the other sitters as needed if things were not going well. He took care of plants and many other things on top of that, and the house was clean and spotless, with pictures of the water bowl, litter boxes, and food dishes every day. I feel totally comfortable leaving my cats in his care anytime!”
“My cat (Blair) and I had an excellent experience with Alexis. She was excellent with communication and provided detailed daily updates about each visit. Alexis was attentive to Blair’s needs, ensuring she was well-fed, hydrated, and entertained. Blair was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. I appreciated the peace of mind knowing that Blair was in good hands. I will definitely try to book Alexis again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Heather visited my house twice a day for 9 days and was wonderful with my 2 recently captured feral kittens. She has a calming presence and was patient and understanding with the kitties. She is a good communicator, too. I highl6 recommend her.”

Lilac Rain was absolutely amazing with my two cats! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I loved all the pictures and updates she sent during each drop-in. You could really tell how much care, positive energy, and attention she gave them. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend Lilac Rain and will definitely book with her again!!
Tresalyn did a wonderful job looking after my two kitties, especially with one being extremely shy! She made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care by sending photos, reassuring they have food, water, clean litter, etc. I highly recommend Tresalyn to watch your fur babies!!!

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.

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 .

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.
