“Matthew did a wonderful job with my cat Porch. He is a good communicator and contacted me daily with a photo and a written update on how Porch was doing. Porch is not an easy cat to watch. He’s not been around a lot of people and he’s very spooky. He also takes medication for epilepsy. Matthew was not intimidated by any of this, and was attentive to Porch. His medication was given on time and reported to me. I would use Matthew again anytime. He is very accommodating.”
About: I’ve had many years of experience with all kinds of animals. I truly love hanging out with them even if it’s a short amount of time! I’m a college student so I have classes in the morning but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays and only for a short amount of time. I also have a part time job but my shifts average 4-5.5 hours. I’ve really dealt with everything so I’m quite comfortable with different situations. I personally have a fenced in yard and I crate my puppy since she’s still training.
About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. My sister also works from home, so there is typically another responsible adult available to provide additional support and supervision when needed. I also share my home with my friendly cat, Michu, who is accustomed to living with both cats and dogs. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, secure, and truly at home while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and attentive care throughout the day. My sister also works from home, so there is typically another responsible adult in the home to provide additional supervision and companionship. Because of this, pets receive frequent potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. If I need to step out for errands, it’s typically for no more than 3–4 hours. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly home where every pet is treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and personality so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I closely supervise all interactions between pets and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. I’ll also keep you updated throughout your pet’s stay with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Collinsville
My cat is a very skittish cat. He is very loving around the people he accepts. Taylor does an exceptional job taking care of my cat. From my first time using Rover Taylor was able to get him to interact with her. I don’t travel a lot and she is able to get Buddy to come out for her with her even after not seeing her for months. I have friends and family visit, that he has been around a lot, where he will hide and never show himself. .i will definitely keep using her as my pet sitter and recommend 100%.

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.

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.
