“Falecia is responsible and great with my cat. She’s watched him a couple times and I would book her again. She communicates well and takes care of issues if they arise.”
“Tess is the most professional & compassionate caregiver we’ve ever met (or had the pleasure to hire). She is so experienced, intuitive and proactive - providing amazing car and even managing a trip to the vet when Luna didn’t seem herself. The absolute BEST!”
About: I pet-sit frequently for family and neighbors and it brings be joy that they entrust me with there pets. I grew up with two large dogs, a family cat, and eventually a cat to care for on my own. I learned to care for elderly dogs when mine grew old as well as knowing the discipline of a cat for myself. I am a college student. Over the summer I have a morning class from 9-10am Monday through Friday, but besides that my days are open. I hace a fenced in back yard from my previous dogs as well as a friendly neighbor dog who likes to run alongside the fence (on the other side) when there is a dog in our yard. I live in a one story home which gave easier access to elderly pets.
“Wenqi took great care of Kitty, provided very helpful updates and pictures, and even played with her for extended periods of time. Thanks for much for taking care of her!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.
About: although i don’t currently have any pups, i grew up with dogs in the home and frequently assist my mom with her four hounds 🦴 i’ve worked as a vet assistant in a hospital with dogs; which means happy to help administer meds if kiddo tolerates it well! happy and looking forward to taking your pup on a walk, out to play, and most importantly provide care while you are away! 🩶 i work monday - friday typically with the exception of tuesdays. happy to offer dog walks and cat care in the evening depending on the other days of the week! my own cats are spoiled, but i like to say there’s never such thing as a spoiled pet; only a very well loved and taken care of one 🤍
About: Hello fellow pet lovers!! My name is Natalia, I am a college student in psychology looking for some quality time taking care of whatever furry (or not furry) companion you have! I am originally from mexico so I am fluent in both English and Spanish in case you have a Hispanic fella :) I have experience babysitting with families with dogs, and grew up with a big dog of my own so I know all about what it takes to properly care for the big guys too. I can administer medication and also go take the really active fellas on runs. I’m a college student but I don’t currently have a job so the only thing on my schedule are my classes. I’m available all throughout weekends and in the evenings most weekdays, but I can also be very flexible and tweak my schedule to accommodate yours I am very aware of what happens around me so I can react quickly to anything that happens. Grew up with a big dog so I’ll be able to handle any size of dog.
“Sofia did a great job of taking care of my two cats. She followed all of my instructions and even went beyond what I asked. She kept me updated and my cats looked perfectly happy in all the pictures she sent. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first experience leaving our dog home with a sitter/walker to care for him. Donovan came to our house for a Meet-and-Greet, answered all of our questions, met our animals, and addressed our concerns. Donovan was a prompt communicator, provided feedback and pictures at each visit, and made it easier for us to trust that the pets were okay. We would recommend Donovan as a sitter/walker to others, and will hire him again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
“Victoria is responsive and dependable whenever we need her, even in last minute situations. She is great with our dog who requires a bit more care then most and we will absolutely continue to use her!”
“Kate was fantastic! I had zero worries during my trip. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she went above and beyond taking care of my cat. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was so easy-going and communicative. It’s really nice to receive all the updates so we know everything’s going as planned. She was really sweet with our big dog Otis”
“Amelia was fantastic. Very flexible, super responsive and thoughtful, great energy. Perfect for our anxious rescue dog (and also slightly anxious dog parents). She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent lots of photos which put our minds at ease.”
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life and have now adopted a Labrador puppy of my own. He’s a crazy little guy so I feel like it’s qualified me to work with dogs that have all types of personalities. I’ve recently graduated and am looking for jobs, so I am completely flexible with my time. Besides caring for my own pup, I can be right there for your pets whenever you need! I have a small fenced yard that’s made life easier with my puppy, but I also take him on frequent walks. He eats well and has too many toys to count. He gets treated like a king! If I were trying to find someone on Rover to care for him, I would want the same treatment – and that is what you’ll get from me!
“Had a great experience with Crystal! She is a cat whisperer! We have a very finicky cat that just started on Prozac and Crystal was able to successfully give him his pill each day. She really remembered everything I told her about our pets, and took the time to update me each day on how each pet was doing. We are very excited to have crystal take care of our pets again in the future!”

Tess was wonderful with our kitties! One of our cats can be skittish but she warmed right up to Tess and both were happy and relaxed. Tess played with them a lot and petted them and really engaged them. Tess sent fantastic photos and kept us updated throughout our trip. She is very responsive and organized and conscientious.
Juliana was a great sitter! I'll definitely have her watch my two cats again. My cats have very different personalities but both of them loved her after a week of drop ins. One of them even laid on her chest when she has only ever laid on my chest. I came home from my trip to two happy cats.
Hanna is an incredible petsitter. Her care, photos, and thoughtful notes put my mind at ease while on a two week trip. Most importantly, she connected with my cat in a personal way from their first meeting, and I could tell Sundance felt at ease with her. I couldn’t recommend Hanna more.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
