“Toni is always great with my doggies. I always appreciate the pics she sends, the love she gives them, the walks, and her commitment and communication. She is trustworthy , timely and follows my list of requirements/requests with my fur babies.”


“Wow! Roxanne was terrific with my "particular princess" dog. She was on time, great with communication, extremely helpful and flexible (we were packing up things to go set up a party and she helped load, find things, keep the pup out of the way and tolerated all the ins and outs of people during the day). I had updates and pictures, which I love. Roxanne is a keeper! Much gratitude for making our day wonderful.”

“Tonya took excellent care of our two elderly dogs. I think they barely missed us when we were gone because they got all of the pets and cuddles they could ask for. She took excellent care of the house and handled our excessive amount of deliveries with care. She kept us regularly updated with status updates and photos. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, birds and insects over the years. I’ve been a volunteer at pet rescues over the years and have an extra-special fondness for pets in their golden years. I’ve done a lot of pet sitting over the years, which has included everything from walks, baths and play to administering medication and cleaning up accidents - there isn’t a lot that phases me. I treat each pet like I would my own, giving them the same love, care and attention they get from their family. I look forward to doing the same for yours 😊 I work from home during the week with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to care for pets during the day - whether it’s for a walk, a check-in for a potty break, or even just for some cuddles and play. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible, which means I’m happy to follow whatever routine it is that you have set. Does Max need their food heated up to a specific temperature so they’ll eat it? Done. Does Gabby need to be crated? No problem. All pets are unique, so their needs can be too. I always go over routines and preferences with parents to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I know when I have entrusted my pet to someone else I love getting pictures, so you can rest assured if you do too I will send them as much as you want! You are also always welcome to ask for them anytime, no matter how often. As your pets wellbeing is my priority, I can ensure my focus is 100% on them when we’re together.

“Trisha was a great dog and house sitter. Our two young dogs were happy to see us come home but it was clear that they had been well taken care of. They ate well, which shows that they weren't stressed about our absence. They had obviously had a lot of attention. I recommend Trish wholeheartedly for anyone else. Karen”

About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve owned and cared for many cats and dogs over the years, giving plenty of hands on experience with pets of different ages, sizes and personalities. I currently have 1 cat named Salem, who keeps life entertaining and reminds me everyday how important patience, love and good care are for our furry family members. I recently moved back from Florida after 10 years and I am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy, caring for animals. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles and or just having a calm and reliable companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️ Pet care is already a part of my daily routine as a cat owner. Caring for Salem includes feeding, playtime, cleaning, and making sure he gets plenty of attention and affection. Adding pet care into my schedule comes naturally. I treat every pet like they’re my own by providing plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Jordan watched our fur babies in our home for 11 days. She did an amazing job. The babies were well taken care of as was our home. She returned the home to ready status by doing the bed laundry and leaving no trace. But, the most important was the care and love our wee ones received. I can tell they took to her and were comfortable and at peace while we were away. Knowing that brought great comfort. Thank you Jordan. We really appreciate you.”

Pet care fits very well into my schedule. I have a flexible routine and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends.

With my veterinary background, I monitor for any health or behavioral changes and communicate updates clearly with owners.

“Lindsay was a great sitter for us! We had been having a rough go finding a good sitter for us since moving to the area. But Lindsay was able to ease any worries we'd had from the first meet and greet. She took good care of our pup and our home. Providing pics and we even missed a flight on the way home and Lindsay was able to stay later than anticipated, which really helped us manage that mess! Thank you again Lindsay, you were great! We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I've been a Veterinary Assistant for 3 years and have been involved with animals for even longer. I have extensive experience in all sizes of dogs, from Chiweenies to Mastiffs. And experience from rasing puppies and kittens to caring for my cutie geriatric patients. . I also have experience caring for reptiles, small(er) mammals, birds, and even horses! . I am very confident in my ability to read your animals behavior and translate it into the words they can't say. My hours are pretty flexible at the moment as I work from 10-6 and am free on weekends! I'd love to squeeze in some time with some cuddly faces before and after that! I can medicate your babies as needed and make sure they're getting enriched while their parents are away! Can walk and play and ensure their food is fresh for the picking!
“Phenomenal! Best dog sitter we've had. Our pup is 18 and needs some tender loving care with full-time attention. Bridgette understood exactly what we we wanted. Took great notes. Reiterated what we asked so she had clarity. While we were gone she checked in regularly and shared pics of our pup. The small details, like cleaning the main area, washing sheets and remaking bed, and the note were top-notch.”

“Baylee made our sensitive boy feel so safe and loved. We got lots of updates with pictures and knew he was having the best time, which allowed us to have the best time while away! We are grateful to have her as a part of our support for him. Thank you, Baylee!”
About: Animals are my entire life. I am a big softie, and I've taken care of them since I was a child! I've taken care of pets in my neighborhood, worked in shelters, and I'm ready to care for your fur children. I've worked with pets of all kinds of temperament! :) I only work part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet's needs!

“Holly’s amazing! We’re so grateful to be able to travel and know our dogs are being cared for by a genuine animal lover. Our dogs are big bodies with bigger personalities, and Holly takes them and their needs in stride. Holly’s also a great communicator, which is so helpful when life gets hectic 😅”

“Amy was nothing short of amazing! She took such great care of our home and our pups! We came back to happy tails and a spotless house. She even left us a sweet note, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands while we were away. Highly recommend Amy, we’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Amy!”


“I was a little anxious about leaving our mini zoo (2 dogs and 3 cats) with someone while we were out of town for a few days—but turns out I didn’t need to worry at all. Jacob was awesome. He kept us in the loop every day with updates and pics of the crew. When we got back, the animals were totally chill and happy, just like usual. And as a super thoughtful bonus, Jacob even tossed the guest bed sheets in the wash before he left. Such a nice touch. Would highly recommend.”

Kenzie did a wonderful job house/pet sitting for me. My dog is very precious to me and I am highly selective about who watches her when I am out of town. Kenzie was professional and communicative prior to the stay and throughout my trip. She sent regular updates and provided true peace of mind that my Rottweiler was being taken care of while I was away. She was also very respectful of my home. I would highly recommend!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cathan walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cathan maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cathan choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

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 .
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.
