“Booked Lilla for cat care while I was away for the week and she went above and beyond to give my kitty the special attention he needed. She also provided detailed reports during her visits so I knew he was doing well!”
About: Hi! I'm a vet tech student and frequent foster parent for anything from kittens to reptiles and bunnies. I've had experience with many different dog breeds since I was young and handle walking large dogs well. Actively looking for walks, sittings, and check ins! I treat any client as if they were my own pet! Boardings are context dependent since I have two cats! I’m currently in school full time but my courses are online and self paced so I create my own schedule! Available anytime (early morning and late night walks included) I have a fenced patio and live near a park with a long trail. I have two cats (fixed male and female), they’ll pretty much ignore any small dogs but they are easily spooked by big dogs. I can adhere to any feeding schedule, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate that.
About: I have taken care of cats for over 10 years and am familiar with all their different and fun ways of being. I can adjust to just about every type of cat purr-sonality! I have a flexible working schedule that allows me to give plenty of attention to any cats in my care. For drop-ins, I'm happy to stay a little longer after feeding/cleaning to give them some extra love, whether it is brushing, playing, etc. I have enough space in my home to keep your cat separate from mine in case they don't get along! I am happy to discuss accommodating any non-traditional pet care schedules. As a drop-in cat sitter, I will respect your home and follow whatever rules you prefer (such as removing shoes at the door, etc.). I can also help with things like watering plants (I have a huge green thumb), checking mail, and bringing in packages.
“Jose cared for our two cats while we were away for two weeks. He was very professional, put in the extra mile, and made sure to stay in close contact along the way. It was clear our cats were well taken care of, which was a great relief and gave peace of mind. Overall, Jose was wonderful, and we will definitely be reaching out to him again next time we are away!”
“Alexandra was great for our stop-in visits with the catboys while we were out of the country. She communicated well and took great care of them. Will reach out to her again in the future when we are out of town.”
“Matthew was always quick to respond and took great care of our pets while we were gone. He sent multiple pictures and a nice summary each visit. Would highly recommend and will definitely book him again!”
“Landy was fantastic! She is very attentive and communicative, giving us detailed daily reports and lots of pics, which gained our trust knowing our cat was in great care. We definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and we look forward to booking her in the future to take care of ours.”
About: Hi there! Looking for someone who will treat your fur babies like family? I'd love to help! I've been walking dogs for over a year and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm naturally active and love being outdoors, so whether your pup enjoys a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I also enjoy caring for cats, whether that means playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routines. I take the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give your pets the same love and attention I'd want for my own. I'm always happy to share photos and updates, and I look forward to getting to know you and your furry family members! I'm fully available on Saturdays and Sundays for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. During the week, I'm available in the evenings and for overnight stays in your home. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I'm happy to discuss your schedule and their usual routines to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to feel confident about who you're leaving them with. I prefer to connect with pet owners beforehand to learn about their pet's personality, routines, preferences, and any special care instructions. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, making sure they get enough exercise, or giving them a little extra attention, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for. I also respect your home and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!
“Hazel was amazing great sitter for my two cats! She went above and beyond what she had to do - checked in with me often, took great photos, and kept my place tidy. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica took excellent care of my cat, who takes daily medication and has special separation anxiety needs. I was very happy to see my cat was at ease while I was away. Jessica took great care tending to my cat's food and litter boxes, and was consistently on time for daily visits.”
“When our other sitter dropped last minute, Camille jumped right in. She was so patient with our grumpy old cat and didn't push her, but let her come to her. Great experience! Highly recommend!”

I always show up on time and keep owners updated though out the walk I’m working a summer job on weekdays from 9:30 am to 3pm so I’m available for walks early morning before 9 or evening after 3:30.

“Very thorough and thoughtful. Extremely kind to us and our fur baby! Definitely recommend to everyone looking for a great, responsible, well-communicated person.”
“Ziiomi did an excellent job taking care of my pug. I was really in need of a last minute drop in visit and they not only replied promptly but also had time for a meet and greet to make sure we communicated everything my Eva would need. She was on time each and sent me multiple pictures of my pets as well as the additional care they provided which wasn't even required. 10/10 and I will be booking with her again!”
About: Option 2 (more professional): I have six years of hands-on experience caring for my own two cats, one female and one male. I’m experienced with daily feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and always prioritize patience, safety, and plenty of affection. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available in the evenings, on weekends, and for drop-in visits. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Both of my cats are super friendly. I’ll also provide regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.
About: I have experience caring for my family pets in my hometown in California as well as experience caring for pets of other family members, friends, and acquaintances. I am a lover of animals and treat pets with kindness and patience. I am also respectful of owners’ homes and belongings and always do my best to leave the Home looking the same or better than it did when I arrived. My new job does not begin until the new year, so I have plenty of flexibility for the months of November and December. While my preference is to work on weekdays, I can be flexible with weekends as well. I will care for your pet according to your preferences as the owner. I will respect the limits you set for your pet (e.g., providing the appropriate amount of treats, certain areas being off-limits) and protect them from hazards. I like to make sure animals feel safe, secure, and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and some of my neighbors too. I have plenty of experience with animals. I also work at an ER animal hospital. I care for every pet as they were my own. I do work full time and a student as well. My schedule changes but I do have weeks where I am flexible. I set time aside for those in need! . I have my own three dogs, so unfortunately I cannot take care of pets in my own house. But I am more than willing to care for pets in their own environments!

Jose cared for our two cats while we were away for two weeks. He was very professional, put in the extra mile, and made sure to stay in close contact along the way. It was clear our cats were well taken care of, which was a great relief and gave peace of mind. Overall, Jose was wonderful, and we will definitely be reaching out to him again next time we are away!
Coral took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. It was clear from the meet and greet that she's a seasoned cat sitter, and she shared thorough updates for each drop in visit. We'd be very happy to have her care for our cats in the future and highly recommend her!
Abigail is hands down the best pet-sitter that we've ever had. We have three cats, two of which I'd describe as being skittish (though non-harmful). By day two, both of those cats were comfortable with Abby! Typically, I tell pet-sitters that those cats may hide the entire time, but that was not the case this time--both cats seemed to hang around her, actively and happily anticipating her visit. When we arrived home, my cats were none the wiser of and clearly had not experienced any anxiety in our absence. It is an immense relief to experience that as a pet-owner and can say that I will continue to book Abby as long as she's available!
Elise is a treasure. She took great care of my cats (and home). She was super diligent in taking care of my cat’s daily med and really helped relieve a lot of my anxiety about traveling (first time since my cat started this med). I’ll definitely book Elise again!
Emma was punctual, communicative, and wonderful with my three cats. She cleaned the litter and ensured that everything was completed according to the instructions I gave her. My cats were all happy to get their treats and sat on her lap while she was there. I would not hesitate to use her services again!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
