“Amazing!!! First experience with Rover and Mallory was amazing!!! From my first impression at the meet n’ greet to the very end of our vacation I felt confident and assured that my baby would be taken care of. Mallory is warm and bright. I loved all the pictures and videos of my Tank Tank while I was away from him. 5 stars!! Very happy, will hire again and highly reccomend!!”

About: Experienced with pets of all ages and species from reptiles and rodents to cats and dogs. Growing up around diverse animals built my confidence, patience, and ability to handle different temperaments. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I wake up at 6:30am and go to the gym until 8:40am and then I make breakfast around 9am and feed my cats and take out their litter boxes and make sure their waters full. Then I make lunch at 11:30am-12:00pm and go on a walk sometimes after. Around 5-6pm I make dinner for me and my cats then I usually watch tv after. I do have a job but it’s a 8am-5pm so I’m able to tend for animals morning and nights! I care for my own 2 cats at my house. I change their litter boxes everyday and feed them at 9am and at 5pm whenever I eat breakfast and dinner, and they have a running water bowl that I clean weekly! I have an all pet friendly, 2-story home with a fenced in backyard and a calm neighborhood to walk around in. I can assure that I would treat, care, and love for your pets as my own!

Mallory did another great job for us. The cats were well cared for and their quirks accommodated. She sent photos of the 3 cats at each visit.

Jessica did a fantastic job. She came by to take care of my cat each day I was away. She followed all the instructions, and the cat enjoyed her company.

Mallory was the most incredible cat sitter! She managed to medicate our old, ornery hat twice a day! Mallory was responsive, sent lots of photos, and gave updates regularly. Thank you Mallory!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
