“Solace took great care of our senior cat and his feisty new younger brother. They each received the individual attention they needed. I was extremely happy with the care she gave them and definitely plan to book again when needed!”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic, and the first Rover experience I ever had. She was personable, professional, and clearly interested in the wellbeing of our cat, which put me at ease right away. She sent me photos each time she checked in on him, and texted on top of that to touch base. Will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
“We can't thank Lisa enough for how she took care of our cat. We were away in another country when Dante had a medical emergency, and she took him to the vet and stayed there for as long as they were running the tests. She then went to buy his meds, special food, etc. That's truly going above and beyond, way more than we would expect from a cat sitter. She showed so much genuine care, we are really grateful for what she's done!”
“Cara was a great help with my puppy. Cara was easy to communicate with, willing to lend a hand, kept me updated, and handled my hyper puppy well. Very thankful for her help, will book again!”
About: My family got our first dog when I was 3, I'm now 41, and have been caring for/loving on dogs ever since. My family fostered dogs for our local rescue for 6 years while I was in middle/high school and had about 160 dogs in/out of our house during that time. We specialized in caring for the bigger, older, and abused dogs. One of them that we foster failed with had chronic issues that required daily medicine, so I'm comfortable with administering pills to dogs if it can't just be hidden in their food. I love making friends with all of the dogs that I meet and my neighbors actually joke that I'm their dogs favorite person because of how excited he is to see me. All of the dogs that I've had over the years have been German Shepherd mixes so I'm capable of handling the bigger breeds of dogs on walks. I am a stay at home mom, and my kids are finally at the same school, so I have a ton of time on my hands during the day to help take care of your furbabies. My schedule is open and flexible. All animals are my favorite animals and I love to love on any of them that allow me to. I will provide scratches, belly rubs, kisses, and take them on the best walks

We are a couple that both can share the tasks to help take care of your furry loved ones. We personally have 2 large breed dogs. We prefer to watch pets inside your home and will not be bringing mine along. In the past we have also had a 2 cats, chickens, cows, many dogs and guinea pigs. I can check in on cages small animals. We have our own transportation to your home. As a friendly reminder to not leave your cute puppers in the car. They are wonderful parts of your life and we wouldn’t want anything sad to happen. Alice currently work most hours M-F 9-5 but sometimes can be a little later. I can do check ins and walks before and after work, or stay in your home and include them in my routine. They would need to be okay staying at home for 8-9 hours of the day. Amanda is available during the day while I am at work. I can sit in your home, drop in visits or dog walk. I do not currently offer in home pet stays at my house. Thank you!
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
About: I will start off with saying, I am insured with PCI! I’ve had dogs my whole life, I have 5 at the moment. 2 cats, a (Yearling), tortoise, frog many animals. I have experience with plenty of animals. I have animal sat for multiple families and friends and they have loved me! I work fulltime but can make time for your babies. I treat your babies like mine. I make sure they get the love and care they need. I slowly introduce myself, if you need your dog crated I can do that. If all we need to do for your pet is we meet a few times before petsitting that is okay, or if you need me to bring my dog so your dog can meet mine. Whatever helps with your animal to feel comfortable and safe.
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond with my three cats for my three day trip. Facetime meet and great went great, she was flexible, she asked questions when needed, and kept me updated with my pets’ the entire time with photos. Would recommend to anyone needing an overnight or drop in pet sitter.”
“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”
About: I've taken care of many different pets since I was about 15 years old. Friends and family members have relied on me to feed and walk their pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) Currently I am babysitting kids on occasion, so I have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets. I am able to spend week days/nights and weekends and am super flexible with time! I have a vehicle that is reliable and comfortable for transporting animals. I live in a nice, calm neighborhood and am open to having pets over to my home.
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
“Great pet sitter! She did an amazing job during her drop-in visits with my cats and provided good pictures with her updates. Would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Winnie was a joy! When caring for our cats, she was communicative and friendly and did everything just as we requested. She sent us multiple photos and detailed updates that let us know our babies were well cared for. We can't wait to have her sit with our pets again.”

Sophia came in clutch! Our other sitter got sick and couldn't make it while we were out of town. I sent her a message and she replied within 15 min. I sent pictures with instructions. She asked follow up questions to make sure our animals got the best care! 10/10 would recommend!! Will be using again!
Kaylie is such an attentive sitter! One of my kitties is exceptionally skittish and she was even able to coax her out and even got pets!!!! Highest recommend. This isn’t my first time booking her but I will certainly be booking again for my pet sitting needs. ❤️
Cheyenne was absolutely amazing! She came by daily to take great care of Poppinbeats and kept me updated every day with the cutest photos and helpful messages. She even caught things I wouldn’t have noticed, like when my automatic litter box got stuck. I seriously couldn’t ask for better care. This was hands down one of the best pet-sitting experiences I’ve had, and I’d be more than happy to have her take care of Poppinbeats again. When I got home, Poppinbeats was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. So appreciative of Cheyenne . 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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
