“Kelly was super helpful and patient with my cat (who is very anxious and spicy when frightened). This was the first time I had left my cat completely alone so I was nervous at first. But Kelly took very good care of her and reassured me with photos/ details during the visits. It was a relief to know my kitty was in such good hands!! 🙂”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.
“Kathryn was absolutely amazing for our little grumbly girl, Kora. We were going to book with Kathryn back when our cat Dannica was still with us. I was always so anxious to leave her especially when she started having her health problems. Kathryn is the only new person that was not only able to see Dannica, but she was able to pet her. There was no other choice once I saw that. Kathryn is communicative, friendly, and thorough when it comes to caring for animals. Kora loved her, and I absolutely recommend booking with her.”
“Whenever we have to go out of town, Argie is the sitter I go for first! She takes wonderful care of my trio of chaos! I don't have to worry if they'll be ok if she's watching them.”
“Leigh was absolutely wonderful! She did drop-in visits for my adult cat and kitten and took excellent care of both them and the house. She is professional, knowledgeable, and warm, and her love for animals really shows. I appreciated her consistent communication, detailed visit notes, and how she stayed in touch throughout. She is trustworthy, reliable, and made me feel at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality care for their animals!”
“So glad we found Nazeeya! She was professional and thorough from start to finish. She was intuitive to our pet’s needs and communicated any irregularities she saw that may be cause for concern. She followed their care plan precisely and bonded quickly with our boy Wolfy. She went above and beyond to see that their needs were met and even brought in a huge house-plant package that was delivered while we were away. She did an excellent job and will definitely book with her the next time we travel.”
“This was our first time booking with Selina. We had a meet and greet prior to the sitting time. And, we knew at that time that she was the sitter for us. During our time away, Selina kept us informed and sent pictures. She even had a sighting or two of one of our kitties who normally hides from the world when we are away. Selina cleaned up after the cats eating sessions and kept our flowers alive. All of our cats were very happy in Selina's care and we will be booking again. Thank you Selina!”
“Skylar was amazing with our 2 cats! She was very patient and let them warm up at their own pace. Both cats were very relaxed and comfortable our entire time away thanks to Skylar. We couldn't recommend Skylar highly enough.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs and 5 cats - a true crazy cat (& dog!) lady! Out four legged friends are not pets, they’re family and I treat them as such! I am currently available on weekends and some evenings during the weekday to do drop-ins, playtime, snuggle time, or walks with your dogs or cats! I am available to come let your pups out, keep them company, play with them and take them on walks! I will treat your furry family member with love, care, and respect.
About: I have been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I have always loved animals with my whole heart. My family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of, feed, walk, and bathe their pets while they are away. I am especially praised for the amount of time I spend hanging out with the pets. I like I hang out with them as much as I can and get in all the cuddles so they know they are safe with me and feel all of my love while their owners are away! This works with my schedules perfectly! I typically work 8 hour days, so mid day check ins, and evening care work perfectly for me since I am available to stay at the pets house with them! I spend a lot of time with the animals when I am there. I always allow cuddles and honestly it is my favorite part of the job. Coming back to a pet that is excited to see you is the best feeling in the world. I make sure the dogs get plenty of time outside, and long walks if the weather permits. I love playing with the animals. Cats or dogs! I love seeing the pets be comfortable with me and building that bond between the animals and myself!

About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my entire life. In the past, I have owned and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Dalmatians down to a 8 pound Frenchie. With all my past experience, I am excited to care for your pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I currently care for my mini best friend, aka my cat Oreo, and have been caring for her for the past 8 years. I have experience with all kinds of pets and am excited to be able to watch your sweet pets! I am (typically) home and finished with work on weekdays after 3:00pm and I am available most weekends at any time to watch your pets. I currently have an indoor cat and help take care of all her needs ranging from trimming her nails, playing with her, and keeping her litter box clean. In the past, I have owned many dogs and always make sure to put their needs first. Depending on what my dog needs, I can spend the day playing with them, walking them, or just cuddling on the couch.
About: I’ve been a pet owner and animal lover for as long as I can remember. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my three senior pups, Molly, Kodi and Abby over the last year. It’s been too quiet without them and I miss having them around to love and care for. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide your pets with plenty of attention, affection, and dependable care while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate your schedule and your pet(s) needs. I’m happy to welcome your pets into my home or make visits to your home so they can remain in their familiar surroundings. I have a big fenced-in back yard if you choose the boarding option. I can also bring them over to my house for the day as well. I’ll care for your pets with the same kindness and attention I’ve always given my own. I do have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide for your pet(s) needs in your home or mine. Transportation available upon request. I have a safe and private fenced-in back yard in a cul de sac. I also have experience with senior dogs who might need medications.
“Wow!!! Let me say, I've never been so pleased and impressed with a dog walker like I am with Lashawn. He takes such good care of my babies and when I come home, I legit have zero concerns. House clean, exactly the way I left it. Dogs fed and walked. Lots of photos which I personally appreciate. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I can really see that he loves what he does. Not letting this gem go! Thank you sir”
About: I have taken care of dogs since 2021, from working at Dogtopia for 6 months to walking dogs and pet sitting cats.

I am working part time this summer with a constantly changing schedule, but am normally available in mornings and afternoons. the schedule does vary at times but I am very flexible! When taking care of your pets I will ensure that the environment in which your pet is in is clean sanitary and organized. When doing drop in visits and walks I will make sure that your house is clean and there is nothing they can get into that could possibly harm them in any way!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Catharpin
Vanasia did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She was prompt, reliable, and provided great updates throughout her visits, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me informed about how the cats were doing and even notified me about a few accidents and took the time to clean them up. I really appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile. I would definitely recommend Vanasia to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

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.

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.
