“Brooke was absolutely fantastic! 🤩 We had to find a sitter last-minute, but we needed someone who would be understanding and attentive as a couple of our pets are special needs and/or require daily medication and injections: Brooke checked all the boxes and our pets all loved her immediately. 😻 She not only followed all instructions to a T, but she provided thorough check-in reports and a host of photos, plus she went above and beyond by cleaning around the house before we got home, scooping our litter boxes, and gifting our cat with a big comfy bed (which he has been loving)! Highly recommend, especially if your pets have anxiety or other health conditions that require special care!”
“Rachel is fantastic with our older Lab, she asks great questions and monitors and alerts us to anything out of the ordinary. Super dependable and professional.”
“Kathleen did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. She performed everything we asked, and went above and beyond to vacuum our floor without being asked to. I would be very comfortable to have Kathleen take care of our cat again.”
“Andi, has been an excellent caregiver for Cakes. She went above and beyond to interact with Cakes who is very shy and hides from strangers. Andi also followed our instructions well and checked in each day writing about her visit with Cakes. I hope she will be available next time we need a caregiver for Cakes. We can highly recommend her! I would like to give Andi a $50 tip for her excellent work. SWC”
“We are so happy with Lorie's help! When we were gone our plans had changed the last minute and we we were in a pinch finding someone. Lorie has agreed to help us right away, and she did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She had to learn what to do over the phone and did exactly what we had asked her. We have a turtle who needs to be fed in a separate water tank, and he tends to bite when someone sticks their hands in his water. However, that didn't seem to scare Lorie, and she took on the job very bravely. We were very pleased to return to a clean house and happy pets. We highly recommend Lorie to anyone who is looking for a trusted and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have five years of experience dog sitting and house sitting for friends and family. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m responsible, reliable, and respectful of clients’ homes, and I make sure to follow instructions carefully. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience house sitting and caring for pets while owners are away, and I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal schedule. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I communicate regularly and can provide updates and photos throughout my visits or stay. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I always follow care instructions carefully and make sure pets remain safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine. While house sitting, I keep homes clean, secure, and well cared for, and I treat both pets and property with respect. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and you feel that your house safe and secure while away.
“We highly recommend Juniper. She has been communicative and doing drop ins on our cat when we are working out of town. We plan to continue using her as our sitter. She sends photos and updates. Our cat is pretty anti social, but Juniper seems to have a way with her.”
About: I’ve wanted a dog ever since I was little so when my nana got puppies I was at her door every day I could to play with them walk them help feed them and even help her train them on the farm she has. The love has never gone away and I want to extend my love for caring for these animals to others. And use my experience with different diets, routines and even medication distribution I’ve learned from dog sitting over my life time to help other dogs. I’m currently on my summer before I go to school to be a PA, I am working as a nurseing assistant so I will often have work, I am free every morning and evening after 2pm. And am able to stop in on lunch break if needed. I have grown up pet sitting and babysitting, I am trustworthy when it comes to being in someone else’s home and will follow any rules or instructions needed for me to enter and exit your home. I also work as a nurseing assistant caring for ten diffrent patients for hours and am great at caretaking following instructions and keeping calm under pressure. I’m open to any specific instructions needed and will go above and beyond when it comes to cleaning and catering for your pets and home.
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
About: I had a corgi until I was 12 years old who I fed, walked, and played with for much of my childhood. I also have frequently walked my neighbors’ dogs and gone over to feed/watch them when they aren’t at home, including when my neighbor’s golden retriever was still a puppy, although I am also capable of handling big dogs too. I have always loved animals and, especially as an introvert, getting to hang out with them all summer is something I am more than happy to do! I am currently back home for the summer until around mid August, and this is the only form of work I’ll be doing while I’m here. Any activity I want to do is something that can be done at more or less any time, meaning my schedule will be very flexible and able to cater to what you need. I make sure to give the animal as much space as needed before jumping straight in. Some pets are more reserved and it can be tough for them to get used to a new person in their space, so I like to make sure I meet them where they’re at. I ask the owner any questions I have both in advance and also while they’re gone if something comes up. I like to be prepared and know where everything is and how to deal with any situation that might occur, so open communication is something I really strive for.
“Cortney helped me out in a pinch and am so grateful for her ability to check on my girl while I was at work and send photos too. Easy to communicate with and updated me with all the information I would want to know. Thank you Courtney!”
“We have 2 senior cats that need specific food and medication. Amy was very responsive from the get-go and was very attentive to the cats! She did a great job with keeping us updated and sent us pictures of our kitties every visit. Our cats can be wary of strangers but they were clearly happy and comfortable with Amy!”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was a child and grew up caring for them. My family fostered dogs and cats for about five years, which gave me hands-on experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. During that time, I handled daily care like feeding, walking, and helping them adjust to new environments. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time remotely and can mostly set my own hours, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure your dog gets the attention and care they need throughout the day. As a pet owner, I know how important trust is. I’ll treat your pet like my own, follow your instructions carefully, and ensure they stay safe, happy, and cared for.
“Jessica was wonderful! She graciously did drop ins and walks with our energetic Aussie for 7 days, with less than a week’s notice. She is very communicative, sent several photos per visit with a little blurb of what they did. Jessica asked good questions, followed up, and paid close attention to Biscuit and his needs. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Miranda was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to get to know our dogs before we left on our trip. During our trip, she sent updates that made us feel much more at ease knowing that our dogs, who are a large part of our family, were well taken care of. After we got home, I think they were a little sad that she wasn't there to hang out with them some more. We would absolutely go with her in the future and we're so thankful that she took such amazing care of our dogs.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Lake
This was our first time having Brenda check in on our kitty and she was the most conscientious sitter that we have used to date. She showed up right on time, gave lots of love and play time and sent many photos each day. She was very proactive about asking questions about medication and our cats preferred interactions. She also went the extra mile to look after our plants and stay with our kitty for a couple of extra hours during the 4th of July fireworks. I highly recommend her!
I had such a wonderful experience with my Rover sitter, Qin! She took amazing care of my cat Mimi while I was away. Every single day, she arrived right on time, made sure Mimi was well-fed, spent quality time with him, and kept everything clean—including his litter box and any little messes. What really stood out to me was how thoughtful and helpful she was beyond just pet care. She even helped bring back my trash can and kept an eye on the yard, which I truly appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Mimi was in such caring and reliable hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and that means everything to me. I absolutely loved her service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter!
Lorie is fabulous and our pets love her! She is extra communicative and truly cares for the pets she’s sitting. She went above and beyond cleaning bowls, vacuuming, and picking up after the pets—truly a dream to come home to after a vacation. We typically board our deaf dog, but are so glad we didn’t. Biscuit got the extra love, care, and attention she deserved while we were away. We highly recommend Lorie!
Amy took care of my 20 year old cat for 9 days and was wonderful! Amy loves animals and it shows in her caring nature and attention to details. Annie needs medication twice a day and lots of love and Amy provided this and more. She kept me up to date with pictures and texts and even a video with a speaking part for Annie. Annie looked great and no signs of stress when we returned. I will use Amy for any future travel plans as she is the best!

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.
