“Julia was amazing!! It was the first time we were leaving our babies and for over a week too so we were super nervous but she came over twice before we left and we felt really good about it. The cats liked her too which really eased our fears. She made sure to send updates multiple times a day and with pictures. She kept me updating on how and what they were doing and how much they were eating etc. Excellent communication, very respectful and super nice. We will 100% be booking with her next time we need a sitter!”
About: Throughout my teen years, I’ve taken care of many pets; from training my puppies to caring for relatives’ pets. No matter the circumstances, I always have a fun time caring for these pets. I’m on the hunt for a part time job so I’m available all the time to care for pets! What better to do than doing something I love? I have three dogs at home and big yard but as we warm my dogs up to playing with others as part of their puppy training, we’ll keep your pets in your home.
“Thank you so much to Joanna for taking such wonderful care of our cat. He became very attached to her and clearly liked her a lot. Joanna did her job very responsibly and on time, listened carefully to all our wishes, and always sent us photos of our cat. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend Joanna to everyone. We will definitely reach out to her again if needed.”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for my own pets along with pets for friends and family. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am a preschool teacher with a strong love for animals, and I am looking to fill my off-summer hours with pet care. My schedule is flexible during this time, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care throughout the day and week. I am able to plan my time around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs to ensure pets are well cared for and comfortable. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get regular walks, playtime, and attention. I also clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and follow any specific instructions for special diets. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away!

“Kate took great care of our kitties while we were away for a long weekend. She took the time to provide updates throughout the weekend and even took the trash out for us when we didnt ask. She went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: I've taken care of my own pets since middle school, and have always had a passion for animals from even the littlest of betta fish all the way up to dogs and cats. All animals have a place in my heart, from puppies to the older guys that just like to relax. I'll make them feel safe, comfy, and most importantly I'll always make sure they're truly taken care of. As a nursing student, that caring and attentive nature is a huge part of who I am. As a student my schedule is quite flexible! My schedule changes on a week to week basis but always feel free to reach out and ask because I’m usually available for at least a couple hours every day :) I'm a very detail-oriented and attentive person. My top priority is ensuring your pet's routine is maintained perfectly, from their specific feeding schedules to their unique personality quirks. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and will send plenty of photo updates so you can relax, knowing your pet is in great hands.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! I used to work for a pet store but I now work at a veterinary office! I’m currently working full time at a veterinary office but I am free most weekends to stop by and check on your fur babies! 🐾🩷 I love my cats as if they are my own children, so I will make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own!
“Alyssa was very thoughtful and took great care of our cats. They were immediately comfortable with her and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with animals. She also managed our older cat’s multiple medications very well!”
“Lillian was communicative, responsive, and professional. Our dogs accepted her as their own very quickly, and she seemed happy to supply the necessary pets and adoration required. Great pics that caught our dogs personalities and quirks she did multiple drop in visits, was usually a few minutes early. Always on time and stayed the full hour requested. 11/10 would recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is my background in veterinary medicine and animal care. I have over five years of experience working with animals and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant and Customer Service Representative at an animal hospital. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medications or extra attention. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for potential health concerns, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine due to having a structured schedule that allows me to reliably plan around animal care. I work Monday through Friday from 3–9 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–1 PM, which leaves me available in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays for consistent pet visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m very organized with scheduling, allowing me to ensure each pet receives care on time and maintains their normal routine. In my client’s home, I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided, and I pay close attention to each pet’s normal behaviors so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or energy. Creating a calm, familiar environment by respecting the pet’s space and allowing them to interact on their own terms is my priority, especially for more shy or anxious animals. Communication is important to me when it comes to my own animals, so I provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they’re away.

My goal is to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable based on your routine!

“I used Rover as a last minute decision to board my cat while we moved from one home to another. Stephen(and his fiancé) were awesome! They answered questions i had prior without any delay. When i arrived to drop my cat they gave him his own space. They loved on him like he was their own so much that I’m not sure he wanted to leave with me. I was updated with pictures daily and I knew he was in good hands! We will definitely reach out in the future for vacations or whatever comes along!”
About: Hi, we’re Bree (22) and Nick (23)! We have loved and cared for animals our entire lives. Growing up, our homes were always filled with pets, ranging from dogs and cats to hedgehogs and lizards! Because of this, we are incredibly comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and unique care needs. We absolutely love all animals and will do everything to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home when you’re away. When your pet is with us, they will get lots of attention, plenty of playtime, and a schedule that follows your requests. We promise to send you daily photo updates so you never have to worry.

I have class Wednesday and sometimes work weekdays depending on my course load. Fridays-Sundays I always have full availability! Nick: Nick has a full time job, so he will be available to help out when not working! Safety is my absolute top priority. I always ensure that doors, gates, and windows are closed before letting any animal roam. When we go for walks, pets are securely leashed at all times, and I am always aware of my surroundings. I ensure all hazardous items and human foods are stored far out of reach. For peace of mind, I provide clear communication and send regular photo and text updates throughout the day!
““I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! My cat sitter was incredibly loving and attentive, making my cat feel completely safe and welcome during her stay.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
It was our first time leaving Vinny and Gatsby for an entire week, so we were definitely anxious about leaving our boys. Before our trip, Julia stopped by to meet them and go over all the little details of their care. She was incredibly attentive and made sure she understood everything they needed. By our first night away, all of my anxiety was gone. Julia sent us photos and updates about the boys, and I immediately knew they were in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our honeymoon knowing Vinny and Gatsby were being well taken care of, with updates throughout the day that gave us so much peace of mind. Our boys absolutely loved her, and she took such amazing care of them! She even helped us fill up our bird feeder, so literally everyone was taken care of. 😂 We will 100000000% book Julia again! ❤️

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. 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.
