“Kathy is a dream to work with. Goes the extra mile to make sure all your pet's needs are met. Keeps you well informed on the status of their care and gets in touch with you right away if there are any issues.”
“10/10 recommend! Nikki took care of our cats (and outdoor wild bunnies) while we were away for 12 days. Came home to happy pets and a tidy home. Nikki went above and beyond to make sure the pets and our house were taken care of and ready for our return. Thank you!”
About: I have grown up around dogs and used to own a German shepherd that I held primary responsibility for. I have also helped friends with dog walking and have cared for dogs of almost all ages. I am a full time student at a community college. My classes are short and only Monday through Wednesday. I also work a part-time job currently but I only work short hours.This mean I have almost full availability all week to care for your pet. I am easily able to follow instructions if they are given and I am able to recognize animal behavior for both dogs and cats as well as being flexible to provide for their needs.
“Yuexuan is simply outstanding! When an emergency came up and we reached out, she returned to our place without further delay. That moment said everything. She’s responsive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals in her charge, tuning in to each pet’s personality and rhythm rather than just going through the motions. We felt at ease the entire time, and our pet clearly did too. We’ve already rebooked, and we’d recommend her without a second thought. Thank you, Yuexuan!”
About: I am a stay-at-home mom who understands how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your cat while you are away. I have transformed my entire basement into a safe, peaceful, loving retreat where your cat can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. Every cat in my care receives their own personal Kitty Cabana or Glamping Tent experience, complete with individual indoor play in our Playroom and open air lounging on our outdoor Cat Patio. Whether your kitty loves cuddles and playtime or a quiet space to settle in at their own pace, I'll make sure your little camper is comfortable and cared for. You will receive lots of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. I specialize exclusively in long-term cat boarding, which allows me the opportunity to give each cat the time and consistency they need to truly settle in and feel relaxed. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine is centered around being present and attentive, so your cat will receive constant care, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay. Because I only accept long-term stays, I'm able to build a real bond with each cat and maintain a calm, consistent routine and environment that helps them feel truly at ease. Throughout their entire stay, your cat will be safely and securely contained in their own private Kitty Cabana or Glamping Tent, our enclosed Playroom, and the secure Cat Patio. Campers are carefully rotated and never allowed to interact with other household pets or campers. This allows your cat their own peaceful retreat, while giving you the comfort of knowing your cat is safe, secure, and lovingly supervised throughout their stay.
“This is my second time using Chloe, and as long as she’s available she’ll be my go to for looking after my cats. She’s very communicative & so kind! I really appreciate how well she takes care of them & makes sure to give lots of play time & cuddles.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about nine or 10 years old, less in the caregiver since until I was an adult, I now have two dogs and love them dearly. I also enjoy working for Wag!, which I have worked for almost 10 years on and off with a perfect five star rating in many many great reviews. my daily routine includes taking care of a my older dogs, and my cat. I include them in all my plans to make sure they are always taken care of. I always consider them as an extension of the family and their needs are always my priority. I tried to tackle things head on and make sure that their needs are met before my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats for over 12 years. Dog whisperer and cat whisperer that wins them over every time. Love animals! I work remote and have plenty of time to take care of animals during my breaks. I’m available at any given time working from home. I take dogs on 15- 30 minutes, play, and cuddle. Cats love me because I love all their different personalities and know how to act accordingly
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my entire life at home and for family/friends. During college, I worked as a pet expert at Pet Supermarket and have a wide variety of knowledge about pets. I currently work in Woodstock, and have a schedule that allows me to accommodate various needs and preferences, making me available for check-ins during both morning and evening hours. I currently live with my furry friend, Theo, who loves to lay in the sunshine out on the porch. I ensure daily playtime with a variety of active toys for exercise and a healthy vet-recommended diet.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and have had dogs basically my whole life. I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs, from tiny, super energetic puppies to bigger dogs who love to pull on the leash lol, so I’m pretty comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I also currently have a cat, so I’m definitely comfortable with cats too! I genuinely just love being around animals and getting to know their little personalities. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine, instructions, or preferences your pet is used to. I’d love to be someone you can trust to take care of your pets and give them lots of attention and love while you’re away! 🐾 I am currently working for myself, so my schedule is super flexible! I would love to accommodate to you and your baby’s needs. I am typically available on Monday-Sunday from 8am-10pm. I love a good hike! :) I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified and will treat your pets as if they are my own! I am open to communication on how YOU would love for me to care for your pet!
About: I love getting to know new animals! Ive had many years of experience with communication between animals and have come to understand that animals reflect the mood of those around them. Staying calm, loving, and respecting their space will go along way and by doing so I’ve been able to conquer any pet sitting task with happy critters :) I’ve loved animals my whole life Monday-Saturday I’m available to pet sit! I normally go to the gym around 2pm and normally like to stop at the clients house on the way to or from the gym! I am flexible and can also accommodate for different time schedules. I treat my animals as if they were family. My Lab was practically my brother and we were inseparable. We played like littermates and loved each other every step of the way. I believe this to be a big reason for him being such a good calm loving dog. Animals are often just looked at as animals and not realizing they too have a heart and soul.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
“Jessica is such a professional and loving sitter. My cats adored her and vice versa. I loved her detailed manner and she did exactly what we instructed. We told her how we put the cat food out and how to wash the bowels etc. She cleaned up the manual and litter robot area. Love that she gave such detailed accounts and the pics were so awesome. She is wonderful to work with and we highly recommend her for your cats or dogs. She treated them like family.”
About: I have done petsitting since I was 12 for family members and looking to grow my experience. I have also pet-sat for families I nanny for. Currently, I am a student at KSU studying English. I have plenty of time for more work and I miss being around animals! I don’t have any right now. I prefer not to care for pets in my home but it is a quality house for pet-siting and it is very safe for pets
About: Hi, In a little background about me: I've primarily been a contractual house manager/ nanny for over 5 years. And for the past 5 years living in Atlanta, alongside my boyfriend, we've been pursuing a dream of working alongside the Film Industry. Most Importantly, what you should know about me is that I've had pets and animals my entire life. Cat's hold a special place in my heart, however, at least 1 if not 2 dog(s) have been by my side since I was a baby. Special animal training/ experience includes: * Precise medication administering * Walking/ Running with animals on a leash * Senior animal care * Vet visits * Groomer visits Specials for home use: * After a night stay, washing sheets and clearing the room back to normal! If kitchen was used, it will be returned back to normal condition! My daily habitual routines look like daily exercise in the mornings (sometimes at home, sometimes at a gym nearby) and at home scene acting work/vocal practice. In-between all of this, I am at home often, as that is one of my favorite places to be. If you are curious, I am truly an ambivert. Daily love and care for your animal as they roam will be provided safely and lovingly. Clear communication is very important to me, so videos and pictures of your pets will be provided daily unless a different preference is expressed otherwise!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Buffington
Taylor did a fantastic job watching my two cats! They are afraid of everything and everyone they aren’t familiar with. She was able to get one to come out from under the bed and even get close to her! Pictures and videos were sent daily. I cannot recommend her enough, and I will definitely ask for her again!
Taylor was incredibly professional from start to finish. She even jumped on a FaceTime call with me beforehand and asked thoughtful questions about Merlin’s allergies and the details of each visit to make sure everything was done perfectly. It was very clear she took the time to really know Merlin, including his behavior, personality, and specific needs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. During the visit, she was extremely attentive and kept me informed about how Merlin was doing. She cleaned up any messes he made and sent me a ton of photos along with a video, which I really appreciated. I felt completely confident knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Taylor and will definitely be having her come by again.

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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
