About: As a dog and cat mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that transition feel as seamless and stress-free as possible, for both you and your pets. I follow routines closely so they don’t miss a beat while you’re away. I provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care, from ensuring high-energy dogs receive the exercise and engagement they need to maintaining clean, well-kept spaces for cats, including daily litter care and proper feeding hygiene. I focus on the small details that truly make a difference, treating your home and your pets with the same level of care I would my own. My time is truly their time, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply being present for a cozy cuddle. I step in seamlessly so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, including caring for my 15-year-old Maine Coon and raising and training my young Golden Retriever since she was just 10 weeks old. I understand the patience, consistency, and attention required for pets of all ages, energy levels, and temperaments. In addition to over 10 years of pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve worked in animal care at the children’s zoo at the Philadelphia Zoo, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and unique personalities. Like people, every pet is different. I take the time to build trust and create a safe, positive, and personalized experience, whether caring for them in your home or mine. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident, connected, and worry-free while you’re away. • Routine-based care tailored to your pet • Daily updates with photos/videos • Clean, respectful home care • Experience with high-energy and senior pets • Attentive, present, and reliable care I work full-time during the week (9–5) and work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I offer boarding and house sitting Friday–Monday, allowing for consistent, attentive long weekend care. I prioritize routine, enrichment, and calm structure so pets feel secure while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, structured environment. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly one-year-old Golden Retriever and senior Maine Coon who are both well-socialized. I always prioritize safe introductions and ensure every pet feels comfortable. I can accommodate crates if your dog is crate-trained, and I’m happy to maintain your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I respect your space, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Leigh was great and so flexible with my last minutes needs! Every detail was followed and Duch was well taken care of! I definitely recommend Leigh and will be rebooking in the future!!”
“Amberleigh went above and beyond with our two kitties! She was so incredibly communicative, always sending helpful updates each day. I can’t even describe the peace of mind it brought me to have her looking over our boys, I think our cats might even be a little upset to see us back instead of her haha!! I would recommend Amberleigh to anyone and everyone who needs a reliable sitter!”
“Margaret always does a great job when she watches our kitties and we appreciate her so much! Both cats seem well-adjusted and calm in the report card photos (which we love seeing while on vacation!) and when we get home, so I know she has a gentle approach to their daily care that they seem to feel comfortable with.”
“Thanks again for lookin after for my pup. Big thank you for bringing in the packages and alerting me of the pesky neighborhood dog. Also, thanks for loving on my kitties. All things you didn’t sign up for!”
“Victoria watched our cat Theo while we were on vacation and he was very well taken care of! Lots of pictures provided every day and she even stayed extra long some days to give him extra attention”
About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience, including drop ins and overnight stays! I have cared for dogs with anxiety and those with lots of energy! I’ve found I enjoy working with all types of animals because I love to get to know their personalities and spend time with them. I am currently a nursing student which shows my inherent need to help others, including furry friends. I will take care of your pets as well as I do my own! I am currently home from college and working a part-time job. I am available anytime to watch your animals either that is stop by or stay over! I provide services in clients’ homes, where I follow the provided care instructions. I will actively interact with the animals while keeping the place clean.
“I always feel at ease having Sofia check on my pup. She took great care of him as a naughty puppy and now as an adult dog. She’s reliable, caring, and I highly recommend her!”
“My nervous dog was instantly in love with Talia, and it’s easy to see why! Her warmth, affection, and enthusiasm toward animals is palpable, and we are excited to have her take care of our pup many more times in the future!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover who connects with pets quickly and genuinely loves caring for them. Expect lots of affection, detailed updates, and someone who will learn their quirks fast and cater to them accordingly. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priorities! I’m a freelance musician with a flexible schedule and great availability during regular weekday hours. Being my own boss allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, consistency, and care—I love using that flexibility to spend time with all the furry friends I meet 🐾 I respect your home and treat it with the utmost care while I’m there. I only use what’s necessary to care for your pet and always make sure everything is left just as I found it. My focus is on providing attentive, reliable care for your pet while being mindful that I’m a guest in your space.
“We had to travel out of state for a wedding, and this was our first time using the Rover app. Our sitter, Rachel, was absolutely amazing. She took excellent care of our 22-year-old cat and our two birds, following all of our instructions perfectly. Rachel was also a fantastic communicator, keeping us updated on how our pets were doing and even checking in about the house. It gave us real peace of mind knowing we could relax while we were away, confident that everything was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Rachel again in the future.”
“Ariana was so sweet and responsive. She took great care of our big sweet boy. He took some pictures too which is nice. We will definitely keep using Ariana for walking Rio. Thank you so much!”
“It was my first time using Rover for my two cats, and I had a great experience. Kelly sent pictures each visit and even my one scaredy-cat came out from under the bed to see her. I’ll definitely use Rover in the future.”

Katherine was AMAZING!! The photos she sent were so good I think I might hang them on my wall! She was responsive to messages, timely, friendly, and my pets clearly loved her! (And she drew a cool picture of my dog that my kids and I loved! My son attributed it to her and put it on his art wall.)
Both my cat and I loved Isabella. She genuinely cares, and it shows. She provided detailed updates with photos during check in, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was prompt and thorough, answering all our questions. I hope to rebook her soon!
Moon was calm and happy to see me when I got home yesterday. That tells me Hannah took good care of him. I appreciated the detailed daily check-ins and Hannah's positive, caring spirit. I will definitely look for her again when i'm headed out of town. Thank you! ❤️

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.

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 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.
