“Nat was the absolute best. She showed up on time, and took the absolute best care of my kitties. She seemed to have liked them too so it was a win win! I would not hesitate to hire her services again. She also left my apartment in better condition than when I left for my vacation lol”
“We have used Morgan for a while now and feel like we can completely trust her with our babies. She always flexible and does a great job updating us on how the babes are doing. Thank you, Morgan!”
“Lisa is a godsend! I have a cat with diabetes that requires shots twice a day which makes it difficult to leave town without having someone to administer the shots. My cat took to her right away and I was able to enjoy a weekend out of town knowing he was being taken care of!”
“Theresa was so great with our two cats, one being a new kitten. She was incredibly responsive and even came over a few days before she was scheduled to walk around the house and let me show her where things were. Will definitely be using Theresa again if needed!”
“I appreciate the responsiveness and attention to my kitties who ate not used to their owner being away! I will use her for a pet sitting service again!! She played with them and cared for them- thank you Alexis!”
About: I have experience in the animal field. I have pets of my own. I have 2 dogs 2 cats and 3 snakes. I have experience in some vet tech care and vet clinic experience such as restraint, pill giving, injections if needed. I know dog/cat body language. I am skilled in reptiles and exotics as well. Please reach out! I would LOVE to do a drop in visit or stay at your home with your pet. I am flexible with the services I offer. I care for your pets in your home the way you would. With love, care and all the snuggles. For drop in visits I would take them on a longer walk and hangout with them.
About: I’ve always had pets in my home, whether they’re cats, dogs, or even guinea pigs! I’ve always had a love for pets and animals and it has progressed even more into adulthood! I’m currently doing online for college, and I work part time as a server at nights 3-5 times a week. So I will have plenty of time to stop by for your pets! At my house I have a fenced in yard because we have a dog. I also have a crate in my home and lots of toys for cats and dogs!
“Jennifer and her family did a great job taking care of my senior cat. I was apprehensive about leaving him in an unfamiliar environment, but my mind was put at ease right away by Jennifer’s kind and calm demeanor. She kept me updated on how Snowy was doing (including pics!) and asked any questions she had as the week progressed for clarification on how to best meet his needs. Snowy had a great experience and I would happily have him stay with her again, and recommend her to other cat parents!”
“Linda was great with Scout. She arrived on time and sent a picture every day..she managed food and treats and was a great companion for my girl. I hope to have her come again in November.”
“Lorren was truly amazing! She was so patient and took time to get to know my pet and allow her to get comfortable. During the visits she left in detail notes about what occurred during the visit and tons of pictures and videos! In the future I will definitely be hiring her again!!”
About: As a pet owner of 28 years, I know how stressful it is to leave your fur babies behind for hours on end, and my goal is to relieve you and your pet of any worries! I love taking dogs for walks for stimulation and activity. Your dog will receive my care with attention to pacing, any health concerns, and lots of fun! My schedule changes weekly, meaning I am very flexible for your needs. Generally weekdays during normal working hours is when I am the most free! As a walker, I don’t offer services from my own home but would love to keep pet parents updated with photos of my walks with your pets!
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I grew up with small dogs under 20lbs and now have my own Blue Heeler, Ollie. My cattle dog has given me lots of experience with high-energy pups. I’ve also been fostering with the Nebraska Humane Society for the last three years. This has given me experience with many different breeds, ages, and behaviors. I’ve taken several training classes through GoDogs as well. This has helped me to prepare for many different behaviors using positive reinforcement and redirection. I currently only work 3pm-9pm Monday thru Friday and I have a partner at home while I’m working so the pets will have very minimal time alone or kennel time. I also take my other dog on many walks throughout the day and we average about two hours of dog park time a day as well and we’d be more than happy to bring your pup along if you would like. I have a small fenced yard outside my apartment or a dog park that’s a ten minute walk away for lots of outside play time. I also have a dog and cat of my own so your pet will never be lonely!
About: Having a border collie as a family dog, I’m very knowledgeable in the importance of enrichment for certain breeds. Having just lost our family dog, I know very well the impact our pets have, they’re family and not just pets. I am currently self employed as an licensed esthetician and nail technician. I can make time when needed almost always. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to deliver! I am very familiar with kenneling, big on environmental safety checks, as we know it only takes a few seconds or a minute for something to go unseen!
About: Having two cats myself, I understand the need and want for someone you deeply trust to take care of your animals and that’s the person I want to be for someone who might need it. I work early mornings at a coffee shop, normally get off at the latest 3pm, depending on the week! I am able to drop by or stay before and after work! I always have to give them love whenever I see them, and I make sure everyone has food and fresh water available. One of my cats is a free feeder and the other one get wet food twice a day so I am familiar with different feeding habits. Very experienced in giving cats medicine as I have taken care of both my cat and friends cats.
About: My grandma owns her own dog rescue and I am always helping out. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I dog sit for lots of people even outside of the rover app! I’m am comfortable with gives medications or other things that animals need. I am available whenever you need me! Mornings, afternoons, and evenings whatever you need I can do for you! I can stay overnight at your house! If there will be dogs I am able to take them out whenever they need but mostly make sure they go out every hour. I love being outdoors so going on walks is a plus.
About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.
“Kai was a great sitter for our baby Pebble (cat)! We came back home after a 6ish day trip and everything felt even more in order than we had left it. Pebble had an upset stomach and Kai was great about communicating how he was doing and making sure Pebble was well cared for when he was here as well as recommending remedies and health care we could try when we got back from our trip. When our automatic litter box got jammed, Kai was proactive about noticing that and even replaced the whole litter bag for us. Offers great communication such as photos and a summary of how each visit went. We will be thrilled going forward to use Kai if we ever need to go out of town.”

Natalie was an amazing cat sitter overall. Consistent updates and managed to give both of my cats the attention they deserved. Natalie was amazing on making sure she kept my cat's water, foods and litter boxes refreshed. Her pictures were beautiful too, capturing different angles and having certain themes which made each update an exciting thing to look forward to. Will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend!
Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
