“Leeann was a great caregiver who arrived right on time for two visits per day with my cat. She showed genuine warmth, and followed all of his feeding and care routines precisely. She also administered his daily oral medication and sent me a daily update and picture. Thank you!”
“Sherry is the absolute sweetest. She was amazing with Tino, and great to be in contact with. I would recommend her to anyone, and I'll surely use her services again. 💗 Thank you”
About: I've grown up around cats, and my dad used to raise and breed Persians, but I was a full time cat-mom from 2009 until my babies passed away in 2020 and 2024. My cats definitely ran the show in my house. They got fed before I did, and also dictated when I slept and studied. I currently work full-time office hours, so I can drop in for visits after 5pm. I am hoping to reduce my daily hour soon though once the boss hires a helper for me. I can also come by on the weekends, or stay overnight any night. I will generally let the cats and their parents tell me what they want me to do. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but I can also leave them alone if they don't feel like playing and just give them food. And I can do some basic grooming too.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Pets have always been an important part of my life, and I treat them like family members. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and want to provide reliable, compassionate care when their owners can't be there. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I also have experience with shy and anxious pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and earning an animal's trust. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand how important trust and communication are. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they're happy, safe, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own senior cat and understand the importance of consistency, reliability, and attention to detail when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to rather than simply another task on my schedule. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs and preferences. During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Madison was wonderful with our cats while we were gone! It was obvious they were well cared for and loved while we were away. Will definitely be asking for her again! 🥰”
About: I grew up on an acreage and have cared for animals my entire life. I began pet sitting for others early on, including for a veterinarian family, caring for dogs, cats, horses, fish, and a variety of other animals. I am currently a student at the U of A where I am studying Animal Health with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I offer pet sitting, dog-walking, feeding/watering, exercise and daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I currently work part-time and attend University classes at the UofA for Animal Health. However this still allows me lots of free time to direct towards pet sitting and with communication I am very open to discussing scheduling. Whenever I pet/house sit at a clients home, I maintain and clean and organized environment. I prioritize cleaning up after not just the pets but myself included. I always follow rules and instructions for certain things as well in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
“Belle was great at check-ins with our dogs - she came with treats, had outside time with them, and was able to handle their personalities well!! Our dogs were well cared for by her!”
“Hannah is the best, and takes great care of my guy Chips! Hannah is the only reason I feel comfortable when I have to leave my best friend! Hannah takes care of him like I do! Thank you so much!!”
About: I’ve never shied away from any animal! I absolutely love every breed, and I love getting to know every animals unique personality and basing their needs around it :) I’m currently a full time student in university with a silly schedule, but plenty of free time! On Monday Wednesday and Fridays I’m available from 10:30am to 2:30pm, and then again after 4pm! I am able to spend nights on any of those days as well:) On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have an evening class from 4pm-7pm, so any other times I’m available! Weekends I’m totally free! As long as you communicate your pets needs, I will gladly comply! If they need a continuation on training I will do my absolute best to help out in any way! Letting me know their routine will help me familiarize myself with the animal, and I will follow any instructions to a T. Let me know any concerns you may have and we can figure them out together :)
“Jasmine was great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to me leaving town and show her the routine. Met all my expectations as requested and the cats seemed to love her, even Delilah let her pet her which isn’t an easy task for most people as she’s quite shy and skittish around new comers. I appreciate her punctuality as well. If ever in the future I need this type of service, Jasmine will be first choice. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Brooklynn, I’ve been helping to take care of animals my whole life. I have experience in pet and house sitting. I also have experience working in an animal shelter. I will make sure that your pet(s) needs are fulfilled and make sure that they are happy and loved. I can handle dogs with high energy and make sure that they get the exercise then need to feel good. I’m a huge supporter of communication, after all I will be taking care of your fantastic pet. I will update you with how they are doing and will listen for advice to give them the best time ever! I am reliable, responsible and resourceful, and I cannot wait to make a new fur friend. I work week days however the days and times fluctuate. During the week I have open availability after 6 pm. Weekends I have open availability. For overnight care I make sure to leave the home how the owners left it. I make sure that the animals have been fed and let outside before my day is done.
“Our cats had previously experienced separation anxiety with drop-in visits, so we decided to go the boarding route and we are so glad that we did. Sydney was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was incredibly reliable and responsive. She gave our furry family members so much love and made sure that all of their needs were met. Sydney is a kind and caring human with a passion for animals and expertise in caring for them. We can't recommend her services enough! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our loved ones. We are so grateful that we found you!”
“Isabella was absolutely incredible! Prompt, communicative, and very responsible. She charmed both my cats extremely quickly, and was both confident and kind. We had an extremely relaxed trip knowing she was looking after our cats, and received many regular pictures and updates. 10/10 a glowing review from us, and we'll look forward to having her back again!”
“This was the first time I've left Bee all by herself and she was well loved and content when I returned. David sent me photos for every check-in and took time to play with her and talk to her. I highly recommend him; he put my mind at ease and I could enjoy my vacation.”
About: An animal lover through and through, I grew up around animals from a very young age; owning my own dogs as well as spending every summer of my youth at my godmothers’ farm rounding up cows, turkeys, chickens and yes, farm dogs and cats too. Professionally I’ve been employed as a groomer and a doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. With me as your second in care, I can promise your domesticated babies will be well loved and taken care of! After putting my safety before the needs of a corporation that employed me for four years, I’ve found myself with plenty of free time on my hands. If you need someone to keep your pets company, you should reach out! I’ve always made a point to get out and move my body everyday which helps me be prepared to take your pups along for the journey! Overnight house sitting will always come with lots of attention and outdoor time on my part. Dog needs a more relaxing time? Absolutely not a problem. I harbour a natural balance between active and lazy, having no issue with chillin and watching some tv. You can count on me to pay attention and take action if any type of emergency were to arise. Integrity is as important to me as your pets’ safety is to you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience with Madison as my cat sitter. She followed all the instructions I left, arrived on time, made sure my cat had her food and treats, kept her litter clean, and spent quality time with her. It was reassuring knowing my cat was being well looked after while I was away. I really appreciate her care, reliability, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book her again! Thanks for your service Madison !!!!!!!!
Thank you, Karen, for going above and beyond and for being so supportive and understanding while caring for Sophia. I truly appreciate the dedication, compassion, and care you provided, as well as your regular updates and excellent communication throughout the process. It gave me peace of mind knowing Sophia was in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend booking with Karen, as she provides exceptional, high-quality care and genuinely goes the extra mile for the pets she looks after!
Kitty came to take care of Tiia while I was away for a short trip. Tiia was well taken care of. She was happy enjoying some play and brushing. Kitty kept me updated with photos and videos each day. You can tell that Tiia was progressively getting more comfortable with Kitty each day.
Kelly was fantastic! Came to meet Soup before hand to make sure they'd be a good match and asked lots of questions to make sure she could provide the best care. She showed up as scheduled every day and gave me plenty of updates. I was apprehensive leaving my cat for a week but Kelly made sure he and I were well taken care of.
This was my third time having Melissa check in on my kitties while I was out of town and she again was great! She follows instructions (they love to try and escape), sends updates every day and makes sure they are happy and fed. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks Melissa!!
Sherry provided excellent care for my cat and I always felt that she was being well loved in my absence. Sherry always sent lots of photos and videos with her updates. I wholeheartedly recommend Sherry if you're looking for someone to love your fur babies when you're away. 5 stars all the way!
We’ve had Miranda and Aaron as cat sitters a few times now, and they are always great—thoughtful and reliable, with cute updates and pics. They pay attention to the small details and personal preferences of our cats, and go above and beyond to take good care of them. We’ll definitely contact them again the next time we need a cat sitter. Thanks Miranda and Aaron!
Leeann was a great caregiver who arrived right on time for two visits per day with my cat. She showed genuine warmth, and followed all of his feeding and care routines precisely. She also administered his daily oral medication and sent me a daily update and picture. Thank you!

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.

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.
