“Sarah was very reliable and responsible and took very good care of my two cats. They were happy and relaxed when I returned home, and the house was nice and clean. I'd recommend her highly for anyone with cats.”
“I was very lucky to have found Robert when I did. He was a wonderful sitter and even my little spicy Miku seem to warm to him. She can be afraid of strangers, yet Robert was gentle and patient. Could not have asked for a better sitter.”
About: I've had a dog since I was ten, and today three cats and a dog share my home right alongside me. Living with four animals under one roof means I know their routines, their moods, and their quirks by heart, and I understand exactly how much it matters to trust the right person with something that personal. That same instinct shows up in how I work. I'm a checklist person by nature: feeding times, routines, and quirks followed exactly as given, and you'll get daily photos and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student with mostly online classes, so my schedule bends around your pet instead of the other way around. I'm free for house sitting stays and drop in visits any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I confirm bookings a few days ahead so you know I'm locked in well before you leave. No shift to clock into, no class to rush home for, just consistent, dependable time for whatever your pet actually needs. 👉I offer house sitting and drop in visits, which means your pet never has to leave home, no new house, no new animals, nothing unfamiliar on top of you already being away. I stick to their existing feeding, walk, and routine schedule exactly as you've set it, and keep the house locked up and lived in while you're gone. I come to your pet's world instead of asking your pet to adjust to mine, giving them my full, undivided attention until you're back😊. Services Defined: House sitting is an overnight stay: I arrive at 6pm and leave at 7am. Need daytime care? Please book drop ins. If you need me at your home for a longer stretch during the day, message me first and I’ll quote it separately. Drop ins: Drop ins are 30 minute visits during the day, with 60 minutes available. I take care of feeding, fresh water, litter, and playtime, and send you an update after every visit. Need something longer? Message me and I’ll quote it.
“Theo had a great weekend! I really appreciated the care, attention, and time spent with him. She kept me updated, made sure he got plenty of walks and playtime, and followed his routine with feeding and everything else. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for Theo, which is always the best feeling. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Theo again!”
“Dakota was a great sitter! They were extremely responsive bud easy to communicate with. Dakota always uploaded pics of my pet and provided detailed updates. I would definitely book them again.”
“Kailyn was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute pet sitter. She was very responsive, sent detailed updates and pictures, and had no problem handling my cat's different foods and medications. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Kyle & Meagan are great! I had to book last minute while out of the country and they made me feel very at ease and comfortable about the care our pets were receiving ;) They’re very communicative, responsive, and thorough. I would 💯 recommend them and will book again.”
“Virginia is a gem! She didn’t just take care of Mack, she genuinely cared for him! The way he was so calm and happy when we got home told me he wasn’t stressing at all when we were gone. 5 stars for Virginia.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve had big and small dogs. I currently have two small Morkies, Pickle and Penny. Pickle requires a special diet and pills to be given daily. Penny loves to be close and cuddle. My parents dogs is a black lab who over the past few years I’ve helped take care of. She has Addison disease and requires medication daily. She also needs a special routine to help keep her from getting overwhelmed. I’ve also had cats throughout my whole life and frequently had to give medications to my last cat Tilly. I really am looking forward to an opportunity to help be involved in your pets life. Whether it’s for a short walk, a play in the park, or just cuddles. I can’t have cats or other dogs because my wife is allergic to them. I’ve recently moved away from my family and looking to be able to still be able help other animals. That’s why I know getting on Rover is a great choice for me!! A little about me is I have been a nurse for ten years, and currently am a charge nurse. I love caring and helping people but I also love caring for animals. My schedule is different every week but I am able to visit anytime I am off. I have two dogs of my own at home. We have a dog park in the neighborhood that is fenced. I am able to be flexible with your animal needs. I can walk and play or just hang out with them. I can crate them before I leave, or give medications. I am overall very flexible and willing to meet your animals needs!
About: I’m a long-time pet sitter who took care of my neighbors’ dogs, cats, hermit crabs, birds, and fish growing up. As a child, I took attentive care of my hamster, betta fish, and snail and loved growing up with cats. In 2020, I fostered and then adopted my cat, Cruz, from the SPCA. We lived with two humans, two dogs, and three rats. Cruz and I now live with my partner and her cat, Moo Moo, in Belmont. I regularly commute through Rio Road and can easily spend time with your pets on my way to and from my part-time job at the library. I live in Belmont and regularly commute through town and Rio Road. I work part-time, allowing me to spend time getting to know your pets during visits. I notice and respect the boundaries that nervous cats and dogs lay out. The patient and calm energy I bring minimizes stress to anxious animals.
About: My family had labradors from the time I was an infant. All of ours were raised as puppies, well behaved and successfully potty trained. I also had a French bulldog raised from a puppy as an adult. In recent years I have learned love cats through my wife, and we now have 4 lovely adult indoor cats who we rescued all as kittens. I work from home 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can be flexible for mid-day visits, although mornings and afternoons/evenings are more reliable. I am generally available at all times of day on weekends. I have my own transportation and I’m happy to accommodate your needs. My own pets mean the world to me, I strive to be the person they see me as. I treat all animals the same way: with kindness, respect, and love, especially for rescues who may not have had the easiest lives. I have a white collar job where I’m expected to have high professionalism and customer service standards, and I bring that ethos to my work with animals as well.

Danielle took amazing care of my kitten while I was away for a few days! She had great communication and made sure my high energy kitten got plenty of time to play. I was pretty anxious leaving my kitten for the first time but Danielle ensured she was cared for and I couldn’t be more appreciative.
Rhiana is such a professional sitter and caretaker that I have nothing to worry every time I travel. She doesn't miss a detail and is agile in unforeseen circumstances like when my cats can't be found because of cleaners or lawnmowers. She's one of the best pet sitters I've found on Rover.
Sarah was great with our two cats! She was communicative and truly went above and beyond. She made sure to play with them the entire time she was there and give them her undivided attention. One of my cats has a sensitive stomach and threw up but she cleaned it right up. Would 100% book with her again.
Carolyn was absolutely fantastic. Not only did she take excellent care of our kitties during the original planned sit while we were on vacation, but agreed to extend the sit twice when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and we were stranded away from home for an additional 5 days. She was quick to respond to all of my anxious cat-mom questions about how my boys were doing, sent great pictures at every visit, and took care of our boys like they were her own. We were so incredibly grateful to have booked with her during this trip, and it meant the world to have one piece of our unexpected travel delays be taken care of.
Katherine did an AMAZING job taking care of our old kitty Puszkin when we were away for the weekend. She gave him medicine twice a day with no issues, followed all our instructions very thoroughly and provided lots of attention, pets, cuddles and scritches 😻 She sent very detailed messages to keep us updated on Puszkin’s wellbeing and shared lots of great pictures and videos. Highly recommend Katherine and I’m sure we will reach out to her again at some point!!
Samantha takes excellent care of our animals. She took the time to stop by before the visit, learn all of the idiosyncrasies of our furry companions, and she is very personable. We feel very comfortable trusting our animals with her and already plan to use her again.
Kelsie developed a great relationship with our cat and helped him feel safe and loved while we were away for longer than we’ve ever been. We always looked forward to our pictures and report card. She’s a great communicator and even kindly brought in packages, which is never expected but always greatly appreciated!

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.
