“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”
“I moved to the area about 3 years ago and Anne has been the go to person when I need someone to look after my cat Leonard. She is good with Leonard who tends to be a bit shy and she’s good at keeping me informed.”
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Siqin once again did a great job with Bhaiya, even when my travel plans were delayed and she had to step in for an extra day. She's patient with Bhaiya so that he becomes comfortable and eases in. She is highly recommended and very good with animals.”
“Su is so wonderful with our girl, Harley! She really cares about Harley and it absolutely shows. We so appreciate her fitting us into her schedule with very short notice for these drop-in visits.”
“This is my second time working with Veronica. She's been excellent at taking care of my dogs, keeping us updated on how my dogs were doing, and addressing needs of our pups. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”
“Eliana took care of my boys as if they were her own! She went above and beyond in their care, even tending to accidents with one of my boys that is a fast eater. She sent quality photos for updates per visit and provided a summary on the last day of her scheduled visits. I will definitely be booking her again - thank you for your exceptional care!”
“Jerri did a great job playing with Kianna while my wife and I were out on a long trip. Jerri provided photos and videos to keep our mind at ease that our little elder cat was have fun and had good company”
About: My job is flexible as I work two different time zones. My service will be 30-60mins per walk. I'll be walking your dog and mine separately and make sure he/she are 100% on-leash but well exercised so you'll come home with a calm baby without having to stress about draining their energy after a long day of work. I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. And now I have a German Shepherd mix I adopted from the shelter 2years ago. A meet and greet before we start would be great, we want your dog and I both comfortable with each other and make sure our energy matches ! I am working remotely and am available mostly in the afternoons during weekdays. Depends on the schedule of the day, last minute requests are acceptable too. I pay attention to details, and will keep you dogs 100% on leash and make sure my eyes are on them at all times. I’m open to discuss any special rules or training methods you have for your fur baby.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brightside
Maryam was incredibly attentive and caring during the holidays. She visited Dora every day, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She even helped groom Dora and brush her fur, which I really appreciated. It was very reassuring to know that Dora was getting not just food and basic care, but also attention and companionship while we were away. I’m very grateful to Maryam for her patience and kindness, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

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.

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 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.
