“Always so thankful for Shanna and how well she cares for our cat. It's so comforting having someone you can trust and she always sends excellent pictures and feedback so I never have to worry. ”
“Kim took care of our cat for 2 weeks while we were out of town. After our meet and greet, I was comfortable knowing that she would take great care of our cat and I didn't worry about having her come to my home to do so. She was punctual, honest, efficient, and caring. I enjoyed the pictures and a short note she sent each day letting me know how our kitty was getting along. She was also flexible with times as we had to make changes to our initial schedule. I mistakenly scheduled her for weekly drop in visits rather than a two week period of time, so I had to 'cancel' that type of scheduling when we returned. I highly recommend Kim.”

“Truth - I hired Anne to pet sit two cats. I was out of town for 3 weeks for a major surgery, and worked with Anne to make sure my cats would be cared for. She was excellent! Pet sitting was the only piece of my absence that made me worry, and I felt relieved when I found Anne. She is great, even with just cats!”
“Absolutely great having Kylee take care of our cat. You can tell she really loves and cares for animals and it showed. She went above and beyond in her service and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Cris was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for our kitty. Spent a lot of time with her to try to build a relationship. Asked us if she could diffuse pheromones to help ease her anxiety, and so much more. We will definitely be booking with Cris again for future trips!”
About: I’ve owned a small poodle for 10 years and have extensive experience dog sitting for both small and large breeds. I’m an athlete who loves staying active, so I’m perfect for energetic pups and long walks. I also have professional training in correctional settings, which means I’m observant, patient, and very safety-focused. I treat every dog like family and prioritize consistency, structure, and love I currently work part time as a server and am on the path to graduate with my masters by the end of next year. I love pet sitting because it is a way for me to get out and be active. My house has a backyard with a doggie door and I really take into consideration the personality of the dog when planning my day. Some dogs like to chill and some like to go for runs or hikes, so I am adjustable to their schedules and preferences.

“Wonderful and always communicated and sent pictures. Have already rebooked with her. Cant say thanks enough for her willingness to drive to a decent remote area of Arizona to help with my dog and cat. It takes a lot of stress off regarding my busy schedule.”
“DJ was incredible from the start. He responded quickly and was very accommodating to my ever-changing needs for my cats. He was friendly and took excellent care of them. DJ kept me updated with pictures and kept me informed about how they were doing. I'm so glad I chose DJ to care for my boys. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with watching over my cat!! She is super kind and attentive to everything :) I was able to actually relax while I had to go visit family because I knew that my lil baby was being well taken care of by Sarah! She also sent picture updates with every visit that gave me a lot of peace of mind :)! Would love to rebook with her again!”
About: My empathetic nature and awareness for body language in animals sets me apart from other sitters. I’m able to read potential situations that would be hazardous or dangerous for animals and people. Safety key I’m currently only working early morning shifts. So this gives me opportunity to be able to provide animal services in the early afternoon and evenings. Our home is in a small residential area with a fenced yard. We only have two cats that spend majority of their time outside. This gives both the cats and your animal the space to be stress free.
“Tatum is an extremely responsible and lovely person who cares very much for her furry clients. Always prompt and wants your pups to be happy in addition to being fed and walked. She did a great job for me! I will be using her again for certain.”
“Daniela responded quickly and on short notice to my request. She instantly got along with my pups and gave me unique details of her visit for every check in. She ensured they got play time and brushed them (when they weren't too busy zoomin) even though I hadn't asked her too Overall I'd definitely book her again”
About: As a lifelong dog owner with a genuine passion for canine companions, I offer personalized care that goes beyond the basics.

This schedule allows me to provide attentive care for your dog during weekend getaways, with drop-offs available Thursday evenings through Sunday/Monday mornings. Your pup will receive consistent, dedicated attention throughout their stay." "I offer a secure, fully-fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play under my supervision. My care approach includes regular potty breaks, personalized exercise based on your dog's energy level, fresh water always available, and meals according to your instructions. I'm attentive to your pup's routine and comfort, providing plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and cuddles. Daily photo updates keep you connected to your furry friend's adventures while you're away."

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
