“Hayley was fantastic, she took very good care of our Roxy while we were on vacation, sent pictures every day twice a day, could not ask for a better carrying person, treated Roxy as her own, highly recommend Hayley for the job, we will be using her again for sure!!”
“Lydia was great with our three senior dogs and our four cats. The dogs have a variety of supplements they receive and Lydia had no troubles administering those with meals. I could tell the dogs were comfortable and relaxed every time Lydia stopped by the house. She did a great job of sending us pictures and updates, so we never had to worry our babies!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs and our cat while our family was away for a week. She was incredibly reliable, kept us updated with messages and photos, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that was just as we left it. We are so grateful for the extra care and attention she gave them and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing sitter! She was kind and considerate and most important, she was consistent. The details matter and Brianna paid attention to them. I would highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!”
“Kerri has been amazing both times we’ve had to go out of town. She goes above and beyond the extra mile! Her and her family make sure to love on our kitties and give them lots of treats and petting. I definitely would recommend her, and 100% plan to book her next time.”
“Kaylee was a great choice! She went above and beyond what was required and we 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We have two dogs with big personalities and she managed them with no issues. We will be rebooking with her for future events!”

About: I have 2 large breed dogs and 3 cats. I can administer meds and be patient with those who are shy. Rest assured your babies will be loved on while you’re away! I am a hairstylist building clientele, I can make my own schedule and ensure your pet gets the exact care it requires, and then some! Although I have personally not have much luck with crate training in my home, I can adhere to any routine your pet is used to in yours!
“Jennifer is a great pet sitter. I had her sit my 2 cats and 2 chickens. The cats were in the process of being toilet trained. Jennifer went beyond expectations and encouraged them like I do. They were so comfortable with her even my one picky cat that hides from strangers. I couldn't have lucked out any better than finding her to take care of my babies!”
“Allison agreed on short notice to watch my cats this past week and did a super job. She did exactly what I asked her to and I am very pleased. I would hire her again anytime or recommend her to anyone.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I grew up in a home where we always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I became interested in positive reinforcement training and have followed Zack George’s training methods with my own dog. I value building trust, encouraging good behavior through patience and consistency, and creating a calm, positive environment. My goal is to be as much of a companion for pets as they are for us. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to make them feel safe and relaxed, I will treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work in education, which allows me to be available before school, during my lunch break, and after school to check in on pets, take them for walks, feed them, or spend time with them. On weekends, I enjoy having more flexibility to dedicate extra time to getting to know each pet, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I strive to provide consistent, reliable care while giving each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for your pet. Being away from their owner can already create some anxiety, so I believe it’s important to keep them in the comfort of their familiar environment whenever possible. Before you leave, I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I work closely with each owner to maintain as much consistency as possible, helping pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide plenty of companionship, attention, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! I’m a junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for dogs of all ages. I’m experienced with energetic puppies who are still learning the ropes, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I will keep your routines consistent, making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, calm companionship, or gentle care. You’ll always get updates, and you can relax knowing your dog is treated like family! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time, and my schedule changes day to day, but it’s very flexible. That flexibility allows me to plan my day around pet care and give dogs the time and attention they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or check-ins. I’m able to adjust my schedule to match each dog’s routine and make sure they’re never rushed or overlooked. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow all care instructions carefully and always send updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.
“She was great with Jaxx and kept him good company. Nicole is so sweet, accommodating and caring. Very patient and takes her time with Jaxx to make sure he was doing good on each check in. Jaxx is already looking forward to the next time he gets to see Nicole 🤍”
About: I have 5 years of being a dog sitter/ walker, working with numerous breeds and personalities. My main duties were feeding, walking, potty breaks, bathing, and I have experience with administering medications as I’ve worked with dogs with epilepsy. I’m currently in the air national guard so I do work one week in the month but besides that I have an open schedule Monday through Sunday whatever times work best for the client and their pet. I will care for your pets like they were my own. Safety of the pet is my #1 priority. I will adhere to any special instructions about the pet.
“Ensley was very easy to work with, and our dog Chonk seemed to like her as soon as she came in! She sent several pictures during both drop-in visits, listened to our instructions and seemed to remember everything just fine, and even stayed for longer than she had to which we really appreciated! Overall, we have no complains and would recommend her”
“Morgan was great! She helped us out really last minute and over a Holiday weekend. Could not have been more thankful for that. Our cat Bug definitely enjoyed her company! We loved the regular check ins and photos. Would absolutely recommend!”

Emma did awesome with strawberry and kept me up to date with everything and was responsive on any questions and concerns I had. She did things like opening my balcony for my cat strawberry to get some outdoor time and relax for the little time she was with her and I believe it helped considerably. I never used this app or service before but I know anytime I have future trips I will be booking with Emma, she was great and gave me ease of mind while focusing on visiting family.
Tiphaney did an excellent job while we were away!!! We were so pleased with the care that did gave our two cats and we would recommend her to everyone who is looking to book a sitter. This was a repeat booking for us and we will definitely be calling on her again.

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.
