“Jordana is so wonderful! She is a great communicator and sent lots of pictures of our cats. One of our cats is very shy so we didn’t think he would hang out with her, but he went up to her almost immediately! Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have about 8 years of hands on pet care experience! I have three dogs of my own and have cared for pets belonging to family and friends, as well as other families. I have experience mainly caring for dogs but also experience with cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, including feeding, bathing, grooming, administering medication, cleaning cages and litter boxes, walking, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for both young and senior animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get all the care, attention, and cuddles they deserve! I’m currently a college student and am not working another job, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I have classes on Mondays from 9:05–11:30 AM, Wednesdays from 9:05 AM–12:00 PM, and Fridays from 9:05 AM–2:15 PM. I’m available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as outside of my class hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (and weekends). I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I always follow each owner’s instructions and make sure every pet receives plenty of love and supervision. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, giving medications, and caring for pets of different ages and needs. I’m happy to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide updates and photos, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is in responsible and loving hands!
About: I’ve grown up on a farm loving animals. I currently have two dogs myself and just love the opportunity to make a pet’s day part of my day. I do work a full time job currently but have plenty of time in the evening to drop in on your pet. Eventually, I’m hoping to make this more of a full time schedule. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to let them out, take them for walks, spend time for snuggles or play and even feed them a meal if necessary.
“Allison took such great care of my elder ladies! They were happy and calm when I returned home. Older cats do not always handle a change in routine well, so their relaxed state told me a lot about the attention she gave them. I would book Allison again, and I recommend her to anyone who needs a careful sitter for senior pets.”
“Noel did a great job and followed all the instructions for our little old man cat and was very respectful of his shyness. We greatly appreciate the care towards our senior cat.”
“Charisse has been a pleasure to work with! She is prompt, friendly, thorough, and has a way of putting your pet at ease immediately. I can tell she really cares. I will definitely utilize for services again!!!”
“Michelle did an outstanding job with my cat during my recent out-of-town trip. She was extremely professional and sent great photos of every visit. I highly recommend Michelle and I will definitely be using her to care for my cat during my upcoming trips.”
“My booking was very last minute and she was wonderful to work with! My cat had to take a few different medications and was able to give them to her while we were gone. Nala had a great time with them and we will book with them next time we need to.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them in different settings. I grew up with dogs and have been pet sitting for both dogs and cats for many years. I have also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience working with a variety of different breeds and temperaments, as well as managing group play. Beyond companion animals, I have professional experience as a zoo keeper and animal behavior researcher. I have worked at the Cincinnati Zoo and currently work at the Ape Initiative, where I am responsible for the daily husbandry of six bonobos. I also have animal training experience and once trained a goat to complete an obstacle course! Locally, I also worked with Drake University’s Live Mascot Program caring for Griff II, our live bulldog mascot. I helped with his day-to-day care, attended events with him, and administered allergy shots. I’m really excited to bring this experience to Rover and to get to know and care for your pets as if they were my own. I currently work part-time as a zoo keeper at the Ape Initiative, which allows me flexibility in my schedule to provide pet care services. I am available for drop-in visits on Saturdays, and on weekdays at any time except Wednesdays and Thursdays before 2:30 PM. I provide all care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their normal, comfortable environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and any instructions given, including feeding, litter box care, enrichment, and companionship during visits. I always prioritize a calm, low-stress approach and pay attention to each pet’s body language so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also treat every home with respect and make sure everything is clean and tidy after each visit. I will also send plenty of updates and photos so you can see all the fun we’re having together!
“I asked Ashely to care for my cats while I was away, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She arrived right on time, which gave me total peace of mind before my trip. Her communication was excellent — she sent regular updates, photos, and even let me know little details about how my cats were doing each day. Most importantly, my cats absolutely adored her! They’re usually a tiny bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to her immediately and seemed happy and relaxed the whole time. Knowing they were in such caring hands made my trip so much less stressful. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello! I have been raised with animals all my life and I have experience providing basic care for cats and dogs! I love animals and I would love to help your furry creature out! I am free early morning and evenings. I can drive to your place to care for your furry animals! I work a typical 8-5 so I am available before or after for care. I’m use to watching large dogs in un-fenced yards and having to crate one of them when I leave. Also use to either just taking them out to go or taking them on long 20-30 minute walks so they can get their exercise.
“Jen took very good care of our 2 cats with her drop in visits twice a day. One of our cats is diabetic so she has to be fed 12 hours a part and given an injection after the feedings each time. We asked her with very short lead time and she took the time to come to our house so we could meet her and she could meet our cats before the booking. We appreciated this very much.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life, and now I have a little crew of my own that I absolutely adore. I’m happy to reinforce the training and commands you’re already working on, and I believe in keeping pets not just cared for, but engaged. Mental stimulation is just as important as meeting their basic needs, so I aim to make every visit enriching, fun, and comforting for both dogs and cats alike. My schedule is very flexible. Your pet is my priority! I am available for home visits and walks, morning, daytime and evening. I am not currently boarding. I am happy to play with, walk, work on training, or just snuggle with your pal. From meds at lunch to just breaking up the day with a visit, your pet is in great hands.
“Jenevieve was fantastic and helped on short notice and did a fabulous job. She helped reassure that Albert was taken care of! I’d highly recommend her.”
“5 stars - thank you so much! Zoe was very friendly and communicative throughout, gave photo updates on schedule, and followed all instructions for taking care of our 2 cats perfectly. We are very thankful!!”

Thank you for taking care of our babies!! You did a great job and a fantastic job keeping us up to date hiw Daisy and Kimo was doing!!! They were happy to see us back home. Daisy quickly came to the garage door when she heard us!! And yes you forgot the lunch bag. If you want you can still stop by and pick it up. The alligator Daisy had in the middle of the floor, we don’t recognize it. Where did it come from?
Monica did a great job taking care of my 3 kitties while I was away for a week. This was only my second time using a pet sitter and I am always nervous to leave my babies. Monica sent updates and pictures every day so I was reassured they were alright. I’ve already requested another booking with her.
We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Ashly was so kind & caring towards our elderly kitties while we were away. She stopped in twice a day to visit and give medications - they were definitely spoiled by the special attention! She let me know when one wasn’t acting normally and checked in an extra visit just to make sure all was well. Can’t wait to have her care for them again. 💕
Arielle was great! I felt so reassured that my cat was being well taken care of in my absence. She sent me daily update pics of my cat too. Found everything to be in order when I came back and she also helped fix my litter robot when it went offline unexpectedly!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
