“Rachel was amazing & very attentive with Pepper. I left Pepper with Rachel for a decent amount of time (9 days), and she was extremely prompt & consistent with the time she came to walk & care for Pepper. He smiled in all of the pictures she sent me while I was away. Would definitely love to get Rachel's help again on my next trip!”
About: I have 2 rescues, both with their own different anxiety triggers and medication needs, that I have had for 9+ years. For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced yard large enough for zoomies and fetch, and safe streets for walks. I am out of the house for no more than 8 hours during the weekdays. Friday-Sunday, the dogs get walks, plenty of outside time if they ask for it, and treats and love. Monday-Thursday, walks are either in AM or PM, or both. Access to fenced yard at all times. Let me know the particulars about your pet's needs/issues and I'll be sure to put away any items (plants, shoes, toys), to stick to only approved treats, and that they get time outdoors.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I also have experience taking care of cats. I take great care in updating my clients on what’s happening with their pets. I am experienced with administering medication to dogs in pill form, with peanut butter or pill pockets. I'm flexible when it comes to my clients' pets needs. In an initial meet and greet I like to ask how long their pets are okay on their own if I have to be away for an extended period of time, then I'll adjust my schedule accordingly. I always ask clients where and when pets are allowed in certain parts of the house and yard. I want to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible.
“Francesca was amazing!! She was very patient and sweet with our shy cat and earned her trust quickly. She provided lots of photo updates and was very responsive throughout the process. We would absolutely rebook with Francesca in the future!”
“Brooklin was absolutely fantastic and so wonderful to work with! We have kitties with special medical needs including oral meds, inhaler treatments and insulin shots every 12 hrs, and she jumped right in and learned their routines/treatments so quickly and easily! We loved reading Brooklin’s fun notes after each visit and the photos & videos she sent. It truly made being away from home so much easier knowing they were in great hands! We appreciate you so much Brooklin!!”
“Lisa did a great job with our cats and accommodating their different needs. Apollo is particularly picky and tricky and she was able to give him insulin. She was lovely and responsive. Would book her again!”
“Our elderly cat warmed right up to Emma who was responsive and communicative, she did a good job following the elderly cat medication plan, We plan to book Emma next time we need a cat sitter.”
About: I love pets and recognize each pet is an individual with unique needs, behaviors, temperaments and interests. I have always had pets including many dogs and cats throughout my life. I have also had guinea pigs, gerbils/hamster's, fish and even a rat! Throughout my life I have studied animal behavior too. I have taken many dog training classes and even pet first aid. My schedule is flexible and I am reliable, organized, and tidy. I also know a lot about greener living because I am an environmental educator. My schedule is flexible and I am available most days including weekends and evenings. I have a lot of time to care for your pets including walks, feeding, activities and lots of pets and lots of love. I have 25+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats and smaller pets too (rabbits, gerbils, and fish). I have lots of experience walking dogs in our local neighborhoods and parks. Your pets safety is my #1 concern and a close second is making sure they are happy and getting the love, attention and exercise they need while in my care.
“You went above and beyond for our babies! We appreciated all that was done to make our little family comfortable and safe! Great communicator! Love, love the picture updates! Thank you!”
“Sarah has now watched our cats twice during a period where they are not getting along. She did a great job with some complicated care instructions and didn't hesitate to ask questions. For our most recent trip she was flexible as the kitty situation evolved prior to us leaving. During both trips we received lots of photos and updates, which helped us with peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean house and happy kitties!”
“Julie is a fantastic cat sitter. We will definitely be using her as our go-to in the future. Our cat is very timid and usually hides from everyone but us, but Julie was able to coax her out immediately. Julie was always on-time and sent us daily updates and pictures. Can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I grew up with cats and have always been a true cat person. I currently have two cats, Tifa and Vincent. Tifa came with me from Thailand, while Vincent was adopted from a shelter. I understand that every cat has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets properly. I can accommodate regular visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the week. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, maintain a clean environment, and give pets the space and attention they are comfortable with. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine.
“Lucas was an amazing sitter! He was easy to communicate with, friendly, and made an effort to come meet our kitty so that we would feel comfortable and so would she while we were gone. He gave great updates and pictures at every check-in that gave me so much piece of mind and helped with missing my girl! We will definitely continue utilizing Lucas’s services whenever we are out of town and feel 1000% comfortable leaving our kitten in his care.”

London is highly dependable. She came twice a day for the last 12days to let my cat out and back in the house while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and questions, and went the extra mile (or couple blocks) to try and find my cat when she hadn’t returned for the day. We really appreciate London and hope she’s available the next time we need someone.
Tyler and Alexis are by far my favorite pet sitters! Tyler went above and beyond taking care of my elderly cat Jazzy. He sent many pictures of her and details of what he did to make sure that she got all of her meds, was kept clean, happy and even played with her-all while keeping her litter boxes clean and followed my detailed instructions. Thank you Tyler for such a great job and peace of mind on my vacation. I will be hiring you again for sure!!
We booked Paul to do drop in visits for my two cats while we were away on a trip. Paul was amazing with our cats! He was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and made sure our cats were happy and well cared for while we were away. Everything was left clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be booking Paul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Ana took incredible care of our girls on short notice! She made sure everything was taken care of and took the time to play and love on them while we were gone. They really seemed to warm up to her quickly and enjoy being around her. She even stayed long one day after one of the girls ate a small piece of string during play time to make sure she was ok. We couldn’t have hoped for someone better!
Jeannie goes above and beyond. I can’t say that enough. She took such good care of our kitty!! She’s played games with her and gave her so much love and attention. She also did extra things while we were away, even asked if she could take the trash out for us on trash day! She’l thinks of everything and is so thoughtful! It didn’t take long for our cat to warm up to her and we feel so much better about leaving knowing our cat is under the care of Jeannie. Thank you Jeannie!!!
Harley was amazing and I definitely would use her again to watch my cat on our next trip. She was always timely in replying to messages and arrived when she said she would. I felt that she took great care of my cat and was able to administer his meds. I appreciated the extra time she spent for a meet and greet. It really help me to feel comfortable leaving my pet in her care

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
