“Samantha was great! Very prompt and thorough with communication. Sent lots of pictures and videos of my kitties and went above and beyond when they had an accident on the carpet.”
“Adrianna has done one extended stay and one drop in with our 3 dogs- plus our foster dog. We do not have easy dogs. She has been great. Definitely understands how to work with dogs of different temperaments. She is quick to respond and has always followed through and been on time.”
About: I grew up with both cats and small/medium/large dogs. I have pet sit a couple different times outside of this app. I don’t currently have pets myself and looking for some new furry friends 😻 I currently own my own online business that allows me a lot of downtime. I’ve recently been on a fitness kick and looking to walk some pups and meet some new kitty friends! I have a small, fenced-in dog park at my apartment and easy access to large grassy areas and many walking paths. My apartment is large, spacious, and animal friendly! I have no pets myself so no distractions or issues like that. I like to run around Lebanon Hills and other parks which I’d be happy to bring a fur baby along. 🐕 I am equipped to travel to the homes of those with cats, and to you for pet sitting/dog walking.
“Lucy did an amazing job checking in on our two cats! She was very responsive and communicative, and helped us feel so reassured leaving our cats at home while on vacation. Highly recommend! :)”
About: I am a recent graduate from St. Olaf College, and plan to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine after a gap year or two. I've taken care of pets of all sorts for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10, and cared for my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked in a humane society and am comfortable working with all sorts of pets, of all shapes, sizes and ages. I have also worked in commercial kennel settings, with dogs with behavioral issues. I have experience cleaning up messes, providing enrichment, and administering medications, as well as caring for newborn and young puppies. I'm a full time college student who loves to spend my free time with all sorts of animals! I can visit during the day or stay overnights; feel free to reach out to hear more about my availability. I'm happy to keep your pets company in the comfort of their own homes, as well as taking them on any outings they usually enjoy!
“Eden was fantastic taking care of my furballs while I was gone! They loved him and came out to visit every time which is very rare for one of my kitties. I felt great relief knowing they were being taken care of everyday.”
About: I've spent my entire life taking care of pets. I come from a family animal lovers, so I've spent a lot of time around animals. Although I love pets of all kinds, shapes and ages, I find I have special bonds with older dogs and snuggly cats. I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats and they were my constant companions. I'm comfortable giving medications as long as I am provided with detailed instructions. I appreciate detailed notes about how to care for your pet when more then the basics are needed. I look forward to taking care of your pet and loving them as much as you do. I work my regular job from 6am to 3pm, but when i come home i love to play with my little boy, Meeko. Meeko is a 13 year old Bengal that we rescued in 2014. He was abandoned and we spent a lot of time making him comfortable with us. Now he's the most loving boy. Meeko gets dry food throughout the day and wet food for dinner. He requires his water getting changed out multiple times a day, which we provide from his favorite source, the shower. For now, I am only offering to go to the clients house and not taking them into my home. My cat has some health issues and I don't like to cause him stress by inviting other pets into our home. but I do live next to a very nice park for walking around and I live near a dog park. i love going on walks with dogs and playing fetch. Running around them them and getting out their energy is definitely a goal i reach for.
“We absolutely love having Jessica care for our puppy! She is attentive, reliable, always on time, and has great communication. She makes sure Sully gets plenty of playtime, is fed, and receives his medications as needed. We especially appreciate the photo updates and knowing he is in such good hands while we’re away. Most importantly, Sully absolutely loves Jessica! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable for their pets!”
About: Our family has been dog crazy every since I can remember. I've pet sit since I was a child and have had family dogs my whole life, both big and small, and love the individualness of every breed. I believe it's important to know about each breed I care for as well as each dog's personality and temperament. I am looking forward to doting on yours! I'm an early riser, so your dog's day starts bright and early with me. I work full time, but my schedule has real flexibility in it, which means I'm around for midday potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins rather than being gone for one long stretch. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I'm lucky to live near a dog park and plenty of green spaces, so there's always somewhere good to explore. Your dog's health and comfort come first with me. I'm experienced with dogs who need daily or as-needed medications and I'm careful about following your instructions exactly as you give them. Walks are always matched to your dog — a senior who prefers a slow stroll gets a slow stroll, and an energetic pup gets to burn off that energy. My home is a safe place where visiting dogs can relax and feel at ease.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Rob is a great cat sitter, he follows directions well and always attends to my Stella. They made friends right away. Ssure hope he’s available when I need cat sitting again! Thx, Rob😸”
“Grace was fantastic! She went above and beyond, sent photos and communicated daily, and she even brought my packages inside when I forgot to hold the mail. I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jade was dependable and pleasant to work with. She was so great with our kitties which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. I will definitely be asking her to sit for us again. Thank you, Jade!”
“Lauren did drop in visits for my three kitties while I was out of state and she really helped relieve the anxiety that can come with leaving your fur babies. She gave updates every day with pictures which made me smile every time. I was very happy to see that all the kitties felt comfortable enough to come out while she was there.”
About: I have had experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and absolutely love working with animals and will treat them with the utmost love and care. I’ve just moved to the area from Florida where I was working full time in pet care, so I’m looking to build back up my clientele and do what I love the most which is helping others take care of their pets! I’m in an apartment so I don’t currently offer any boarding services. However, I’m happy to provide exercise and play time with your animals and give them all my love and care!
“Nina is the best 🫶 My boys love to see her. Nina takes the time to give them love and attention while with them. She has proven to be trustworthy while on my home. I would highly recommend Nina to care for your pets.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, adopted dogs and am an all around animal person. Looking to help care for your fur baby after my dog has recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I currently have three cats; ranging from 2 years old to 11 years old I work 2 days a week from home and have flexible weekend schedules both during summer and winter. I am happy to drop in for a play date, afternoon walk or spend the weekend at the dog park! When dog sitting for friends, I like to find a close dog park or park trails for walks, plenty of toy time, lots of cuddles etc. When I’m watching friends cats, I like to make sure they receive play time as well.
“It’s been several weeks since Sydney started watching our pups and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! She takes the absolute best care of our pups, is so sweet, and makes sure she shares the best photos. She always leaves the leashes and collars nice and neat when she is done for the day. She is the best!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with two cats and a dog who needed special care in her later years. I adopted 2 cats with FeLV, both having to eventually be put down after years of vet visits and medications. I am comfortable with higher maintenance pets, administering medication, and monitoring their well being. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for neighbors, helped potty train and puppy train my parents’ dog, and even fostered a very sick kitten who couldn’t stay at the shelter. I’ve fostered 2 cats in total, and I’ve had 3 cats in my adult life. These experiences have deepened my love for animals of all kinds and given me the skills to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently volunteer at pet haven weekly and plan to continue fostering cats with them. At the shelter I administer many different medications and help cats be comfortable in a not so comfortable setting. I am working full time 7-3:30 but it is flexible and can adjust a little if needed! I don’t have many extracurricular things going on so other than work I am 100% free. I keep an extremely clean environment and am very respectful when I am in a home that is not mine. I have been trusted by many to house and pet sit in the past.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burnsville
I had a great experience with Julia! She provided wonderful updates about how my cat was doing and sent photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She did a great job making my cat feel comfortable and less stressed. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him and would happily recommend Julia!
Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Pickles was well cared for by Stephanie. She let my cat be comfortable with interactions, using treats to reassure her. I received updates each day on her food intake and litter box usage. I will be booking Stephanie again. Stephanie was understanding and flexible with my weather delayed departure.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

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 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.
