“Khylei was wonderful with our cats and rats! She was quick to respond to messages, took excellent care of our critters, and even went above and beyond with cleaning up the messes they made while we were away. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring as well. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs!”
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
“Kristen went above and beyond with my dog, Belle! She took her potty even in the rain, played with her, very considerately kept me updated, and was very professional during a tricky moment on a walk. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone!”
“Lindsey and her family are awesome. I’m so happy I found her on Rover. My cat Olivia loves them! I hate leaving her but she’s always in a much better mood when I get home so I know she loves their company!”
“We used this app for the first time and got so lucky to find Patti! She immediately made us feel at ease upon our first meeting and our dog loved her right away. She even was able to eventually pet our 12 year old cat who is a really big scaredy cat with new people. She was able to do exactly what we needed with our pets while we were away and we did not have to worry one bit. Loved all the pics and comments every day as well. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur babies! ??”
About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have three puppers I’m currently living with as well as my kitty! For Example: • 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exer fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime + and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I work a full time job but I’m off at 3:30pm everyday I’m available almost every weekend and available on holidays as well! I won’t be able to do in home care for your pet, my pups aren’t as friendly and wouldn’t be comfortable bringing any other dogs home.
About: With over 13 years of experience caring for other people’s furbabies, plus a lifetime of my own dogs and cats, I bring genuine, hands on comfort to every visit. I’m confident administering oral medication, trimming nails, brushing coats, and walking dogs of any size or energy level, from a calm senior stroll to a fullon zoomie session. Whatever your pup needs, I’ll treat them like family. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening visits after 5pm on weeknights, giving your pet consistent, reliable care even on busy days. Weekends open up more with time for longer visits, extra playtime, and one-on-one attention. Whenever I’m with your pet, I’m fully present and focused on them and their care and happiness. I provide all my care in clients’ homes so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine and comforts. Safety is a top priority on every visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, and follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly as given. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own: keeping it secure, respecting your privacy, and leaving everything just as I found it.
About: When I was younger my family always had dogs that we cared and loved like apart of the family. As an adult nothing has changed but I now have experience with newborn puppies and dogs with medical needs and regular love and responsibilities that come with caring for a pet I do work full time but I am free on the weekends and my spouse works from home caring for our own pets so we always have someone home and attentive Our yard is very accommodating to dogs of any size which is nice for play time or just lounging out in the sun. Potty and food are typically on a set time and water and cuddles all around.
About: I've taken care of my own pets as well ask friends and family's pets. They're part of the family and need to be treated as so. I recently moved back here. Looking for some fun and exploring with dog walking and owt sitting. I can be called last minute or scheduled out 6+ months. I have a fenced yard at my house. I will provide the top care for your animal in my home or your and follow your routines to the best of my ability
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and being around animals has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond my love for animals, I’ve spent nearly 30 years working in clients’ homes as a remodeling contractor, which has taught me the importance of reliability, respect, and treating every home with care. When you leave your pet with me, you’re choosing someone who will care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own family. I’ve also cared for chickens and am comfortable with backyard flocks, so if you have feathered family members, they’re in good hands too. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and maintain your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, along with regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Khylei was wonderful with our cats and rats! She was quick to respond to messages, took excellent care of our critters, and even went above and beyond with cleaning up the messes they made while we were away. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring as well. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs!
Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!
Our regular Rover person was ready booked so I contacted Anna just a few days before we needed drop ins for our kitty and she stepped up and took great care of our fur-baby. Lots of great pictures on Rover cards came through from her visits to let us know our Roady was in great hands.
We had the pleasure of having Kendra do drop in visits for our cat, who requires multiple medications, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She went above and beyond in ensuring our cat’s needs were met, was incredibly responsive, and followed all the instructions to a T. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!

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.

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.
