“I felt confident that my cats were in good hands when we went away. My girls are older and have medical needs, so finding someone who can handle that is important. My girls also warmed to her immediately on the meet and greet! She is very personable, professional, and great with animals. Will definitely be working with her again!”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. There were always multiple cats and dogs in my home growing up. My husband, three children (15,13,11) and myself love pets and have take care of family and friends' pets quite often, including bunnies and chickens! We had a large labradoodle with special needs in the past and currently have another large labradoodle. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes and with giving meds as needed. My kids are always up for a snuggle also! I am a homeschool, stay at home mom of 3. Now that my children are older and more independent my schedule is rather flexible. We are active and walk often and can do school anywhere! Sometimes it would be just me but at times my children (15,13,11) would accompany me as well. We have a fenced in dog run which is very secure. If I am coming to your home I will follow any and all guidelines you have to make sure your pet is safe and happy and loved while you are away.
“Stephen was absolutely wonderful watching Brick and Odie! He went above and beyond, sending us pictures, taking them on a nice walk, and keeping us updated. His communication was excellent, and we could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and look forward to having him watch them again!”
“Kailyn was very responsive and communicative from the start. She sent lots of great photos of Rex and offered such a great peace of mind knowing that he was in great hands while we were away. I highly recommend her and will book again with her in the future!”
About: I have four dogs at home. I have experience with pet care through drop in visits and home care from puppies to an elderly cat. I am available Monday through Friday after 4pm and anytime on weekends for a drop in visit. I am also willing to walk your dog on my availability. I offer drop in visits to feed and/or let your pet outside mornings and nights. I also offer dog walking services to keep your fur babies active!
“We love Chelsea! She always sends adorable photos and is so detailed on how her visit went. It is so nice to not worry about your fur baby when you are away from home. Chelsea is the best!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is, my enthusiasm to get all of your animals outside having as much fun as we possibly can! I have been taking care of my own dogs for the past 4 years. Including giving medication, nail trimmings and everything else that comes along with being a pet parent! Pet care fits into my everyday routine because, I am currently taking care of 4 puppies for my grandparents. As well as helping my grandparents out with whatever they need assistance on. I will do whatever you ask me to do to care for your animals the right way! I will also make sure they get plenty of outside time to get that energy out!
About: I have pet sit dogs of all sizes over the past 12 years. I am happy to walk your dog or play a game of fetch. I'm also happy to check in on them and spend some time giving belly rubs and cuddles when you can't. I work a flexible part time job. I have time weekdays mornings, afternoons, and evenings to drop in for a walk or give some love to your pet. I will come to your house for walks and play sessions. I can crate your dog when I leave if needed. I can be flexible if you have a special request.
“Alyssa is great! She is friendly and professional and took great care of our dogs. They loved her! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”
“Erin was wonderful! We have an older dog and needed help fairly last minute for a trip. She was so responsive and came to visit before we left. She kept our girl happy and loved! We will definitely reach out to Erin for future needs!”
“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I’m the mother of a grey kitty, named Jameson. I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats of every shape and size for over 12 years. Family, friends, and friends of friends have relied on me to care for their furbabies. I currently work from home. I’m extremely flexible to drop in on your pet at anytime! I’m available 7 days a week from 6 AM to 10 PM. I can come to the pet, ensuring they feel comfortable in their own safe environment.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish through both pet sitting and caring for my own animals. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medications, or additional attention. I always follow owners’ instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, drop in visits, or evening check ins, I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and playtime, and receives lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to administer medications if clear instructions are provided. I keep a clean, safe environment, pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, and can also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for until you return.
About: Hi! My name is Sarah and I adore animals, I have had dogs, cats and horses all my life and I understand the importance of the love and care that they receive. I understand animals need love and affection from their caretakers but they also need structure in their life, and it is our job as their caretakers to give them that! I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes from a litter of kittens, to a 200 lb English Mastiff! I work, go to school full time, and I'm a coach, so my schedule is busy, but I'm willing to work with anyone to prioritize their animal's needs. I like to keep your animals’ daily life as consistent as possible. I try to structure their day so it is consistent with their routines at home, such as walks, medications, meal times, etc. The proper handling and care of animals is important to me, and I strive to meet and exceed your expectations. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I work, go to school full time, and I'm a coach, so my schedule is busy, but I'm willing to work with anyone to prioritize their animal's needs. We have a fenced in yard and we go on regular walks, especially at the nature reserve near our place. We have toys, treats, food & water bowls, crates for smaller dogs, dog beds, leashes, etc in case the dog comes over last minute, but we always encourage owners to bring anything that they like with their animals.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Compass
Maria was terrific! She did everything we'd talked about and sent lots of pictures every day. We were very comfortable knowing she was being so attentive to our two kitties. She even went the extra mile to ask where our vacuume was so she could clean up the tracking around the litter boxes!
Maria is super professional and responsible. I feel so comfortable leaving my older cats with her who need medicine. She took excellent care of my girls and was super responsive to their needs, taking extra steps and time to make sure they were cared for and safe. I am so grateful to have found her on Rover and would absolutely recommend her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,093 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Compass. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Compass. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
