“Jamie was incredible! She took care of our cat Socks for a few days while we were out of town and met with us beforehand so we would feel comfortable with her. Socks loved having a friend visit, and Jamie was professional, sweet, and communicative through the whole process! She even traversed a snow storm to take care of our girl! We’ll definitely be asking for her to come back in the future :)”
About: I’ve interacted with all types of animals and shadowed at veterinary clinics since I was a child. In the past few years, I’ve startedi helping pet sit for friends and family for periods ranging from a couple of days to a few weeks. I work 8:30-5 M-F, but have an hour lunch everyday. I have availability and reliable transportation before and after work hours as well. I make sure to follow owner preferences and safety precautions. This can mean making sure a dog stays away from other animals during walks, or making sure there is no trash around the house that the pet could easily get into.
About: I’ve been taking care of and loving my own animals and my family’s animals since I was young and they’ve trusted me since I was a teenager to help take care of their animals and walk them when they are gone I take care of my own pets daily and make sure they get lots of enrichment. I love any and all animals and have always wanted to help other people take care of their animals when they need it I have a very friendly dog of my own but not a friendly cat so I will have to pet sit in your home for your pets safety and my cats safety. I make sure my animals are fed and taken care of properly and I’m not afraid to clean up messes when needed
“Taylor took such great care of Fay and Jill the cats while I was traveling. They are often a little shy but they clearly loved her visits and their time together. Taylor sent detailed updates and multiple photos every time. I have already booked Taylor again next time when I'm out of town!”
About: I grew up with a family dog for 15 years and I adopted my own cat 4 years ago! I am currently a nurse so reach out to me for any possible changes in my schedule I am currently living in Iowa City as a nursing student so please reach out to me to discuss my availability as it may change! Some of my unavailable days may become available!! I can care for pets in the clients home as long as they provide instructions on pet care they will need. I hope trust can go both ways!
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. I am available all times on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I am also available Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
“Patti took fantastic care or our two cats while we were away- super personable, excellent knowledge about cat care, and very professional. Our cats were comfortable with her on the first visit- she has great animal rapport! She really put us at ease, and made our trip guilt and worry free. Even thought of things we didn’t. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many friends animals. I love sending photos of your animal to you and giving details about the day and their personalities . I tend to love spending time with them and get distracted into the pet trance! I work full time from 8:30 to 4:30ish everyday. Weekends are basically open if needed. I wake up early and go to bed early. Love a schedule with clear details to help my day go smooth! I cannot have animals in my own space sadly. I am happy to bring them in walks or hangout in your space. Your space is sacred and very respected by me.
About: Growing up, my parents ensured I was surrounded by animals as much as possible! We always had dogs growing up. Since I was an out-of-state student in college, I began Rover to be able to connect with pets near me. I now live in Iowa City, as I attend Graduate School at the University of Iowa. My girlfriend and I just adopted a cat, so I am also gaining experience with cats!! I am a graduate student at the University of Iowa studying School Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis. I work at the UIowa Children’a Hospital Center for Disabilities and Development a couple of days a week- but my hours are flexible. I do have classes all day on Tuesdays, Thursday nights, and Friday mornings. In my home I have a very big backyard where we can go out and play and I have a fenced in patio where we can hang out at outdoors. We can always go inside as well as my house is spacious.
About: Growing up with dogs and cats, animals have always been the light of my life. I know how much being away from your fur babies (unexpectedly or planned in advance) can induce anxiety and additional stress. The hardest part of leaving is ensuring you get to come home to your pets being well-cared for, healthy, and excited to see you. Whether it be how I enter the home, how your pet is fed, or oddly time potty breaks, I understand that pet has unique needs, and I am completely open to adjusting my care to meet your pet’s needs. You can fully trust me to take care of your other family members that may not be able to travel with you. I’ll even send regular updates and photos, if you would like (I know I do). I’m looking to fill some extra time. I have a partner who can care for my 2 fur babies while I’m providing service, so I’m extremely flexible with timing and scheduling. I am open to drop-in visits, spending the night, or any other arrangement you prefer. I am okay with cameras in or outside the home, given I’m aware of them. I want you to trust that I will provide the utmost quality of care, but I also understand that is earned rather than given. I can send regular updates at your request, and provide personal contact information for extended trips.
“Matt did a fabulous job watching our kitty. I could tell by the photos that Alfie loved having him visit and would wait by the door for his arrival and tummy pets. I highly recommend him!”
About: Paid through ISU business school by being a Live-In Dog "Manny" in exchange for free rent, took care of 5 dogs daily, and rotating foster pups through college. Very clean, responsible, punctual, and trustworthy, have been walking neighborhood pups daily for over 5 years, specializing in walks, feeding, check-in/drop-ins for all furry animals big or small. References available upon request. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, making it easy to run out and check in on your furry member of the family, whether in event of an emergency or daily scheduled visits or walks, whatever fits your needs I am here to help! I have a 6ft fenced in back yard filled with toys and an outdoor dog house for some shade during outdoor play time if your pup needs to stay over, plenty of food and fresh water available at all times, and a camera in the backyard if you wanted to check in on your furry best friend.
About: I have owned pets for the last 20 years. I work in two respectable and reliable professional fields. If you would like to know just reach out! I work a pretty flexible job. I'm able to stop in and take care of your pets needs as needed. I would like to adjust my schedule as needed to best support you and your pet if able. You and I would have a open and clear communication on how you care for your pet and their routines. This will ensure i can safely and care for your pet/home while you are away.

Destiny is wonderful! She took great care of my kitty when I am out of town and made a good friend with him. I got updates and pictures every day, making me feel at ease. I am so glad I found such a nice cat lover in my community. Will definitely need her help regularly.
Amanda was wonderful with my cat! She happily agreed to help even though our request was last minute, and she was so easygoing about it. She took great care of Sara, played with her, sang songs to her, and even sent lovely pictures. She was understanding and accommodating throughout, and thanks to her we didn't have to stress about our cat at all. It made our whole experience so peaceful. Highly recommend! 🐱❤️
Amelia did such a great job! 10/10 would recommend her for all your pet sitting needs. I booked her with not much notice for an entire week, and she was extremely accommodating! My girls loved her and were clearly well looked after, her photos and updates were great, and she left my place spotless. I will absolutely be asking her to come back 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 .
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 .

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.

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.
