Brian is wonderful. My dogs love him. He gave them walks and sweet attention including wiping their little paws after walks. He was communicative throughout. I appreciate his care for my girls greatly.

Justin was great with our dog! He quickly became familiar with his activity levels and he took him on walks and jogs, and gave him stimulating treats to keep him busy during the day/while we were gone. Justin took wonderful pictures to include in the daily check-ins, and when we checked our house camera we could see our dog laying by the door hoping for Justin's return, or he would lay at Justin's.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care our dogs received while we were away! From the very start, it was clear that Alayna truly loves animals and understands how to connect with them on an individual level. One of our dogs—a senior corgi-beagle mix—is very slow to warm up to new people and requires a lot of patience, gentleness, and understanding. Alayna gave him just that, never rushing him and always respecting his boundaries, which earned her trust in a way that truly warmed my heart. Throughout our trip, we received thoughtful updates and photos that clearly showed how comfortable and well-cared-for all our fur babies were. It brought such peace of mind knowing they were not only being looked after, but loved. Alayna went above and beyond with the little things—sticking to their routines, paying attention to their moods, and even picking up on quirks that only someone who truly cares would notice. We came home to happy, relaxed pups—and that says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone who cares for our dogs as if they were her own. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alayna again. If you’re looking for someone who brings empathy, attentiveness, and genuine love to pet care, look no further.

About: I grew up with large dogs, rodents, and have owned many scaly friends. I befriend every stray cat I meet and I stop to help whenever I see a dog that's escaped their home and its safe to do so. I also used to ride horses when I lived in the country. Currently I take care of my thumbnail dart frogs and wish for more animal friends. I am currently unemployed but work on developing my own video game at home. When I am employed my jobs are exclusively remote. I like to go on an evening walk and sometimes I will be out of the house for a few hours at a time. Occasionally I might be out for the night but its generally about once a week or less. My home has a fenced yard, an atrium, 3 bedrooms and 2 living spaces. I also have an alarm system that is armed at night. I am happy to let dogs out in the yard and take them on walks. At my clients home I am happy to sit with your pets to keep them company and read a comic book, draw on my tablet, or play a game on my Switch.

About: Hi I'm Jess! I'm a dog lover with experience caring for dogs with seperation anxiety, dogs who need medication, reactive, and deaf dogs! Personally, a year ago I adopted a problem child dog from a local shelter and am currently trying to make more money to pay for his medical bills! I used to care for a deaf dog and am familiar with basic signs. Also, I worked as a professional dog walker for summers during college with a dog walking service called Sniff Seattle! Let me know if you'd like to chat about how I could best meet your pet care needs. I will note that I would need to bring my 2 year old basset lab mix with me for overnight stays. He is dog and human friendly, doesn't chew, or have accidents. He also has lived with a cat before and is not aggressive. Hello! I work from home so I am almost completely available to stay with your pet at all times. I walk Bartleby 3 times a day with one bonus potty break. I'm happy to play fetch or even run with your dog as needed. I am respectful of house rules and privacy. I do my best to leave the house cleaner than I found it while providing the best possible care for your pup or kitty! Be assured I'm an animal lover and will give your good boi or girl all the attention they need.

Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈

About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!

I am so happy I found Jenna. My dog, Olive, absolutely loves her and she takes such good care of her, going way above and beyond. Olive is a sensitive dog and I worry about her all the time, but when I know Jenna will be visiting I have complete peace of mind. I will continue to book with Jenna as long as she’ll have me!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,878 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Central. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Central. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
