“Steffany was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away for 5 days. She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was very clear that our cat trusted her very quickly, (she even slept next to her at night) 🥹 They played together a lot, and I’m sure she truly loved being around her. She also sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We are so happy we found her, and now we feel completely at ease about our future trips knowing our cat is in such loving and responsible hands. We highly recommend her 🤍🐱”
“Gabrielle is wonderful! She is wonderfully responsive, kind and caring. She took great care of my precious pets and sent wonderful updates throughout the time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Jennifer is a gem and we are so lucky to have found her. She walks our GSD every day and sends the pics and updates the Rover Card, which I love. She is caring and our Best Boy loves her!”
“Setareh, thank you so much for looking after Cora and Cheri while we were away. You were so kind and thoughtful to them and even though we were away only for a couple of nights, you kept us updated throughout and it was easy to see why the girls loved you so much 💕”
About: I’m reliable, gentle, and attentive. I make sure every pet receives the care they need while keeping their routine consistent. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for the pets of friends and family, learning how important it is to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. During summers in New York, I also began pet sitting for people outside my immediate circle, which gave me experience caring for pets in different homes and following each owner’s specific routines and instructions. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s usual routine and schedule to help them feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I want pets to feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’ll be caring for them in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and always make sure everything is left clean and secure.
About: I have been a cat owner all of my life. I don't actually remember not having cats around. I am very natural with cats, in the prime of their lives and also in the last years of their lives. I have experience administering medication to cats. I have also done dog sitting in the past and enjoy taking care of small to medium sized dogs. I am working part-time, but my shifts are never later than 5:30 PM. I have no other obligations outside of work, and can easily stop by before or after my shifts. I would even be able to stop by before AND after, if necessary! My Sundays are always off from that job so I have full availability on Sundays for pet care! I am not available for caring for pets inside my own home. However, I am more than happy to go to your home to take care of your cat. I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I understand that I am a visitor, but this is where your cat is the most comfortable, because it's their own space. It is not my job to disrupt their comfort and routine. Instead, I will follow any and all instructions given to me to ensure that the visit is a positive one. I believe in communicating very clearly, letting clients know when I've arrived and left, ensuring that the door has been locked. I will always send photos because I know when I am away, I like when sitters send me photos of my cat. You never need to wonder how your cat is doing. I am there to make you feel comfortable and to make your cat comfortable as well.
“Prerna went above and beyond in her help with our cats. She stayed longer than agreed time, provided us very detailed reports and had been super helpful and responsive. We will definitely work with her in the future and will recommend her to anyone.”
“Nathaly is excellent!! We've hired her several times now to look after our energetic indoor cat Milo, and she is so communicative, friendly, and attentive to ours and Milo's needs. She always leaves our apartment clean and tidy, and offers to go above and beyond by watering our plants, cleaning our bedsheets, etc. We look forward to working with Nathaly many more times in the future!”
About: I have had dogs and puppies as my own pets back in my home country years back that some were senior dogs too. In the years, I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies from my neighbors and family friends. I’ve always loved dogs and are my weakness of how adorable and playful they are. As well as, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe their pets. I’ve had really good relationships with any age type of the pup. As therefore, one of my neighbor’s dog gets always excited when she sees me. I’m currently in a gap year of college for this year, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits and walking the dogs out. Therefore, I am available from Monday to Friday at 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment for your pups. I follow their routines, provide fresh water and food, taking them on walks to explore and make news friends at dog parks, give them attention, and always treat them with patience, respect, kindness, and care.
About: I have had dogs since I was young, with 15 years of dog experience. I have experience fostering dogs with anxiety and senior dogs who needed extra attention for medical care and attentiveness. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority! I currently have a beautiful big cat that I love, and have experience with kittens and seniors alike. Big on communication with owners, and am a very reliable and caring pet carer. I would be thrilled to host your pet! I work from home four days a week, and am incredibly flexible in terms of timing and availability. Free most evenings and weekends as well! Comfort of the pet is the most important! Making sure a pet feels comfortable and safe is the highest priority, and I aim to ensure that in every visit.
“Maya was wonderful! Very good with contacting me and sending updates and answering my needy questions. My home was clean and my kitty was very happy when I came home. Would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those pet-parents with anxiety about leaving their kids at home”
About: Our late yorkie Tilah recently had to be put down due to her age (16) and while I'm not ready for another pet of my own, I absolutely adore dogs and cats and would love very much to have some temporary companions....especially dogs that like to walk and cats that like to cuddle ❤️ I used to take my small dog lots of places including to friends', family homes and even work when necessary. I will be sure to make it a priority to devote much of my time to your pet while I care for it. I am very prudent regarding special instructions while pet-sitting in other people's homes. If for instance a pet is normally not allowed in a certain room, upstairs, etc., I will ensure those instructions are carefully followed. I will also treat your home like it's my own and be very clean and respectful.
About: Apart from having pets all my life, I’ve spent years rescuing animals in need. From cats to dogs to birds, you name it. Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and patience I have for my own. I'm currently in between switching jobs hence timing will not be much of a problem. I'm available for pet sitting from 10 am to 8 pm throughout the week. My pet Freya, is mainly an indoor cat but is also leash trained for walks in the park she sometimes accompanies me on. She's on a wet food diet (fancy feast pate) with freeze dried chicken as a topper. She has a steel litter box that helps keep it odour free and fresh. My home is also cat proofed in every way.
About: I have worked with dogs for years. i have worked in rescue centers, and volunteered my time to loveones who need my help while they are away or if they need help with other things. Whether it's walking, medicine giving, or basic grooming, i have the skills you need for you pet. I also have a large amount of experience with rodents (rabbits, rats, guinea pigs) so if you have other pets that are in need of assistances like out time, cage cleaning/maintenance, or play time. I am also well skilled in at I work part-time and from home. I work as a freelance artist, and so i can easily shift around my schedule to whatever you could possibly need at my home my pets are on a feeding schedule, we don't do open bowl. I make my pets there treats, and i also make them their toys. For our overweight rescue we have her on a diet, we also have exercise hour where we play and stretch for an hour using toys and scratch posts
About: I've been loving, training and caring for dogs for 12 years. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and pets with special needs. I love dogs and they love me! I have a flexible schedule and a vehicle. I am out and about often anyway, so slipping in visits and walks is easy for me.

I called Erin when I was suddenly admitted to hospital. She was incredibly responsive and over the following days gave my kitties wonderful care, send me great reports and loads of photos, was reliable, punctual and very understanding of my situation and the uncertainty of when I might be going home. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Sam and Matt have looked after my cats twice and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. My cats warmed up to them super quickly and got lots of love from them while I was out. They send regular updates and photos so I’m always at ease knowing my kitties are happy and taken care of. I’ll continue using their services and would recommend them to anyone that is looking for professional, caring sitters for their pets.
We were nervous about leaving our 7-month old kittens alone for the first time. We chose Naveen as a sitter because he was highly recommended by a friend and we’re so happy we did! The kittens were well cared for and got lots of pets and playtime. We appreciated the photos and videos Naveen sent. He’s super thorough and kind. We’d absolutely choose him again!
Sylvain was a remarkable sitter for our cat. He was caring and attentive from day one, and he kept us updated constantly — photos, little notes, and honest reports on how our baby was doing. That meant the world to us while we were away. Our cat was happy and playful the whole time, clearly comfortable and well looked after, and honestly, Sylvain kept *us* calm too. You can tell he genuinely loves animals. We would trust him with our baby again in a heartbeat — highly recommended.
Karen was an incredible cat sitter. Incredibly attentive and diligent, I could tell she cared about the cats greatly. She sent tons of amazing photos and spent treasured time with my cats. They both looked happy and healthy upon my return and the apartment was in great condition.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Hoora and Mehrdad gave to our 2 cats while we were away! During each visit they provided us with so many cute (and high quality) photos and videos to keep us up to date. You can tell how much they love cats in how they interact and play with them during the visit. The litter box was kept clean and tidy and our cats dietary instructions were followed perfectly. They were so respectful of our space and we couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you guys, we will reach out again for more cat sitting in the future! ☺️

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.
