“Alyssa was amazing in taking care of our two girls. I had no stress while away, since I knew they were well taken care of. One of our girls needs medication and she had no issues with that. I definitely will come to them again if we need another sitter!”
“My cat is high maintenance and a bit of a pain. Cam was incredibly patient and clever in terms of getting my cat his medicine. After a few days the cat finally trusted him to deliver the meds orally. Cam was great throughout the process. 5/5 Would recommend!”
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Eric was fantastic to work with. He was professional, personable, and prompt in providing pictures and videos after he visited Opal. He made us feel comfortable, and built a relationship with our pet. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate sitter on Rover.”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. Friends and neighbors often trust me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. At home, I'm the proud owner of a mini poodle, so I understand the daily needs, routines and personalities of small breeds. I'm patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. Also I love running and often take dogs with me for safe, fun jogs, which keeps them happy and healthy. I care for my own mini poodle every day, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine. This makes it easy and natural for me to care other dogs at the same time. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood that's very safe for daily walk. Our home is just a short walk from Nara Park and Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. My friendly mini poodle helps new pups feel welcome, and I always supervise playtime to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for.
“Skylar has been phenomenal with my puppy! She is patient, kind and really loves animas. She even made an adorable drawing of him. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby!”
About: As a dog owner my whole life I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, From senior dogs who need that little bit of extra care to young puppies who need that extra exercise and training, I will be your furry friends new bestie ! I am a stay at home mom and have lots of time to take care and play with All the animals. I like to go out for morning and afternoon walks and lots of play time. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room for running and playing . I also have a 3 year old miniature dauchand who loves to run and play with new friends .
“Eden is awesome, she was great with Lily, our cat and I felt totally at ease being away from home with her check-ins. I loved the updates and the photos she provided-she was incredibly reliable with her visits and just great to book with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter, your pet is in great hands!!”
“Lucy was very kind and was easy to communicate with. We haven’t left our cats alone for very long at a time but Lucy made it easy with her thorough check-ins and updates. The cats seem very content and normal when returning home.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My family has two large labs (13 years old and 6 years old) that I helped train since they were puppies. I often watch them for my parents when they go on vacation, so I am very comfortable with overnight care and love taking my pups for long walks. I also had a cat for 3 years in college. I love spending time with all animals!! I graduated college with my Bachelor’s degree and am currently living at home with my family. My days are filled with applying for jobs, going to the gym, making sourdough bread, spending time outdoors, and caring for my dogs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I do not offer care in my own home because I want to keep my dogs’ environment comfortable and stress-free. However, I am happy to provide care in your home, where your pet will feel most secure and comfortable. I have a spacious SUV equipped with dog beds and a ramp for my older dog, allowing me to safely transport pets for walks when needed. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have been a cat owner since i was 10, and adore all animals! I volunteered at the MSPCA, where I adopted our family cat who lived to be 18, and took care of dogs of all ages and sizes-puppies too! I work remotely, and part time right now, so I can easily add pet care to my routine. I am looking forward to spending more time with furry friends! I am careful to follow any special instructions for your pet, as well as ensure any outside spaces are secure if your pup has one for playtime

“Sara was an outstanding sitter.She took such care with our geriatric cat, spending quality time with him and making sure he had plenty of attention while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and thorough and sent such beautiful photos of our cat! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“Xiaoxue is always wonderful with the cats! Her pictures are the best and she spends a lot of quality time with them. They even shoveled the porch when it snowed while we were away. Thank you so much!”
“Anindita did a wonderful job ensuring our dog was relieved and comfortable while we were away. The photos she sent were fun and made our separation much easier. Paisley was energetic & cheerful when we returned. She obviously had a relaxing staycation.”

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.
