About: With over 8 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and comfortable managing everything from playful puppy energy to the gentle care senior pets need. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or relaxing together, I will make sure every moment is tailored to your pet’s comfort and joy. As a college student who misses her own pets, I love spending quality time with furry friends. I can fit walks, playtime, and attention into my daily or weekly routine, making sure each pet gets the care and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and comfort. I treat your home with respect while prioritizing your pet’s well-being, making sure they feel safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar surroundings.
“Calleigh is great! She took great care of my cat while I was out of town. She gave her lots of love and attention and spent a lot of time playing with her! I will definitely book with her again!!”
“Daphne has been amazing each time booking her! She goes out of her way to sweep and take care of the plants without me even asking. She even went to get my sweet kitty more of her favorite treats when I didn’t buy enough! She is great!”
About: Hello! My name is Hailee , I’m 18 years old, and I’m extremely responsible when it comes to caring for animals. I absolutely adore pets of all kinds, and since I plan on becoming a marine biologist in college, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I truly love all animals with no discrimination at all. Over the years I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets including four dogs of all different sizes, rodents, snakes, hermit crabs, fish, and many others, so I’m very comfortable tending to different types of animals and their specific needs. I currently cat sit for my neighbor’s tabby cat who has hyperthyroidism, and I’ve learned how important patience, attentiveness, and consistency are when caring for pets with medical needs. I’m dependable, caring, and would genuinely love the opportunity to help out in any way I can. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a responsibility. I am currently in high school, but I graduate in about two weeks. My daily routine usually starts with waking up and feeding my puppy, then playing ball with him in the backyard. If I am taking care of my neighbor’s cat, I walk over to their house to feed him, refill his water, and clean his litter box. After that, I really enjoy spending quality time with him, as long as he is feeling comfortable and social. Over the summer, I am almost always available except for about one week in July before I head off to college. I really enjoy fitting animal-related activities into my daily life, so I am very excited to have more time to help care for pets and stay active doing something I love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions given to make sure each pet stays comfortable and safe in their normal environment. I start by making sure they are fed on time and always have fresh water available. I also handle cleaning tasks like litter box maintenance or any messes that may come up. If dog walking is part of the service, I make sure to keep the dog safe at all times by avoiding unsafe environments, and being cautious around unfamiliar people, animals, and distractions. I pay close attention to their behavior during walks to ensure they are comfortable and secure. Beyond basic care, I also spend quality time with the pets so they feel comfortable and not lonely while their owners are away. I pay attention to their needs, especially if they have medical conditions or specific routines that need to be followed. I also make sure to respect the client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and exactly as it was left. Overall, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and caring service so both the pets and their owners feel at ease.
“Sara was a phenomenal cat sitter, and we were so grateful that she was able to accept our booking the same day after our original sitter canceled. She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away, they warmed up to her quickly, and we truly appreciate everything she did! Thank you so much, Sara!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats on and off throughout my childhood and adult life. I absolutely love animals and how much joy they bring to our lives! I have ample experience with breeds of all sizes, stubborn (and adorable), and animals with special behavioral needs. I’ve also had experience with medication management. I currently work from home full time, so if I need to pop over for a drop in with your pet, my schedule is flexible for me to do so (or for extended drop-ins, I can bring my laptop for some extra time giving your fur baby more time!) I always encourage a meet & greets to get to know each other, and to get your pet more familiar and comfortable with me. I’m a visual learner, so any opportunity to get a better sense of mannerisms is always appreciated!
“It was our first time leaving our 7.5 month old kitten and Caroline did a wonderful job sending us updates with photos and a video. We could tell Percy was happy and in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Sangram is the best! He always responds immediately, sends tons of photos, and genuinely cared about my three cats while they were in his care for over a week. He even got my super shy cat to come out of hiding and sit with him! My litter robot needed rebooting while I was away and he was happy to help reset it. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone and am so glad to have found a reliable sitter!”
“Kristin was incredible!!! So so sweet to our kitties and sent such great updates while we were away. So grateful for her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Reagan was great with my two kitties! She kept me updated with photos, which I loved. One of my cats is on medication and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Reagan. We look forward to using her again!”
“Catherine was so great! She immediately knew how to befriend my shy kitties and was sure to get all the applicable info before I headed out of town. She even fed the fish and watched out for sad plants!”
About: I am comfortable with all types of animals. I grew up in a household were we were always rescuing dogs and cats, and are proud members of the cat distribution lol! I work full-time with two of those days being remote. I am able to drop in before or after work and during the day when I am working from home. I will always follow the clients preferences. Whether their dog stays in the crate, enjoys walks, goes out in the backyard, or is free to walk around the house!

Adare is absolutely amazing with my stubborn orange cat! She is so reliable, sweet, and caring, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in her care. She goes above and beyond to spend time playing with him, brushing him, and giving him lots of attention. She also always sends me the cutest pictures, which I absolutely love receiving while I’m away! I couldn’t recommend Adare more—she is truly wonderful with my cat! 🧡🐈
Skylar was exceptional cat-sitting our 4.5 month old kitten for us the first time we left him home alone! She took great care in snuggling with him and playing with him to get his kitten energy out, and she sent lots of updates and pictures! She even helped us out with a missing package, which went above and beyond. Will definitely be re-booking! 10/10!
Christina is fabulous!!! She was wonderful with our senior kitty before she passed and equally amazing with our new Maine Coon kitten. Christina has a wonderful spirit, and our pets fell in love with her immediately. It certainly gives us peace of mind to know our kitten is in good hands.
Sara was a phenomenal cat sitter, and we were so grateful that she was able to accept our booking the same day after our original sitter canceled. She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away, they warmed up to her quickly, and we truly appreciate everything she did! Thank you so much, Sara!
Anna is the absolute best pet caretaker ever. She will truly, deeply love your pets as her own, and they will feel the same way about her! She goes the extra mile in every way - love, time, attention, care, advice - I can’t say enough good things. My only fear is that my pets are going to be disappointed when we get back home and they don’t get to be with Anna anymore!
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of Crooks and Piggy while we were away. The house was fresh and clean when we got home, and she sent us pictures every day so we could see how happy and relaxed they were. We truly felt like our cats were in the best possible hands the entire time. Highly recommend, thank you so much!
Harriet did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! I could tell from the many photos so sent that our cat was in kind, caring, safe hands. Harriet followed the feeding and care instructions to a tee and I think our place was even cleaner than how we left it. We will absolutely be booking Harriet to take care of our cat next time we go out of town, highly recommend!!

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.

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.
