“Talia took care of our two cats for a week. She arrived on time every morning as promised. Talia completed all the requested tasks and spent plenty of quality time with our fur babies each day. She also provided detailed updates and lots of pictures, which made us feel as though we had never left them. We truly appreciated her excellent communication and the wonderful care she gave our cats. We would gladly recommend Talia!”
“Michael was an awesome pet sitter for my 2 kitties. Each time Michael visited them, he made sure to spend quality time with them. He even worked himself to get the cats to come to him. My girl cat, it takes patience with her as she is very scared and hides and Michael really wanted her to get some attention. There was a slight break in her when Michael wanted to stop by to feed them dinner with my approval even though he was only instructed to just feed them breakfast. Good job Michael and think you so much for being available to take care of them! I will use you again in the future!”
“Michelle is a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of Ollie and is highly communicative. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for future cat boarding.”
“Hailey did a great job cat-sitting for us for a one-week period. She arrived at the times we agreed upon, took care of the litter box, and stayed the full half hour. With previous sitters, our cat has been absolutely frazzled by the time we returned home but this time he was much more calm (though still excited) when he greeted us upon our arrival. She was respectful of our home and even alerted us when a new car parked in our driveway midway through her visits. I'm very happy with my experience with Hailey and plan to use her going forward.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life and also spent a year early in my career working as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, ages, and needs. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits (dogs and cats) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During drop-ins, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention while you’re away. For walks, I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. A little about me: I live in Crofton, am a mom of three girls, and a pet mom to two boy cats of my own. I also previously worked as a government contractor, where reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail were a big part of my everyday work. I’m currently in school working on my Political Science degree. Between my professional background, veterinary experience, and years of caring for my own pets, I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your animals and entering your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My weekend availability allows me to give each visit the time and attention it deserves, whether your pet needs a walk, a potty break, a meal, or just some company while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide. My previous experience as a veterinary assistant taught me to pay close attention to an animal’s behavior and recognize when something seems out of the ordinary. During walks and drop-ins, I’ll prioritize your pet’s safety, keep you updated, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine.
“John was excellent! Really grateful for the work he did taking care of our two cats. His consistent communication with us throughout was greatly appreciated; it is clear he cares about animals. I would recommend him to anyone!”
About: Since my teenage years, I have taken care of various pets, cats, dogs, fish, turtles, frogs, birds, rabbits, and hamsters. In Denver, Colorado, I was assistant manager for a pet shop. We not only provided retail, but we provided play space washing, and grooming. I am looking forward to working with friendly only pets. I currently work my digital editing business part-time so I have ample time to add a pet in my daily routine. I am available daily from 4:30 AM until 10 PM. My preference would be to pet sit where they reside, but if a pet does need to stay with me overnight, they can expect a friendly, quiet, playful, safe place with three levels. There's also a dog park walking distance.
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've always loved animals. I was gifted my first cat when I moved out at 20. I currently own 3 cats who I love so much. I'd love to care for your fur baby as well! (: My work schedule is the same every week. Please let me know what your pets’ needs are, and I'll be happy to accommodate. If you have any questions about my availability, please message me! I will treat your fur babies the way I'd like someone to treat mine, with love and respect. I've pet-sat friends and family pets, and I can be very trustworthy inside your home and outside when taking care of your pet.
About: I have been dog sitting off n on since I was 13 years old. I have taken care of dogs as young as 1 years old up to 14 years old. I also have experience with giving medication if your doggy needs it! I currently work full time. I work the midnight shift (11pm-7am) So I'm pretty free thru out the day. 🙂 My sleep schedule is crazy so I don't mind coming multiple times a day! So whatever you need me to do in your home for your fur baby! I will do! If that is putting them in a crate, leaving them in a specific spot in the house, playing in the backyard. Whatever routine you have for them I will do!
“Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.”
“Nirvana was very friendly, prompt, and reliable. She provided the feeding and entertainment my cats needed while I was gone. I will be booking with her again when I go out of town. Thanks Nirvana!”
About: What sets me apart is that I bring the knowledge and perspective of a professional trainer and behavior consultant to every visit. Pet care is about much more than feeding, walking, or potty breaks—it is about understanding behavior, recognizing body language, and supporting each animal’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I use modern, science-based, force-free methods and tailor every visit to your pet’s personality, age, health, routine, and preferences. Whether your companion enjoys a neighborhood walk, enrichment activities, training games, sniffing adventures, or quiet companionship, my goal is to create a positive, low-stress experience built on trust, choice, and respect. I am especially dedicated to helping puppies develop positive early experiences through age-appropriate socialization, confidence-building, gentle handling, and foundational life skills. I also enjoy supporting older dogs as they encounter new environments, people, animals, and activities at their own pace. Dogs of any age can benefit from carefully planned experiences that help them feel safer, more confident, and better able to navigate the world around them. A unique aspect of my practice is the integration of therapeutic touch into my work with animals. When appropriate and with your permission, I incorporate gentle, hands-on techniques that may promote relaxation, reduce stress and muscle tension, increase body awareness, and support overall well-being. Therapeutic touch can complement positive reinforcement training by helping an animal feel calmer, more comfortable, and better able to learn and engage. I am professionally insured and bonded, Pet CPR and First Aid Certified through Animal Behavior College, and committed to continued professional education and hands-on learning. I also volunteer with the Behavior Team at Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, where I work with dogs and cats of different ages, backgrounds, temperaments, and behavioral needs. I have a particular interest in puppies, senior pets, fearful and anxious animals, and strengthening the relationship between people and their companion animals through compassionate, individualized care. Pet care isn't something I fit into my schedule—it's what my schedule is built around. I own and operate a force-free training and behavior business, and my days are centered on caring for dogs and cats through training, behavior consultations, therapeutic touch, walks, and drop-in visits. I also volunteer with Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, working hands-on with shelter dogs and cats to support their welfare, confidence, and adoptability. I intentionally schedule appointments to ensure every pet receives dedicated, unhurried, one-on-one attention rather than feeling rushed. I regularly participate in continuing education and professional development to stay current with modern, science-based, force-free training and behavior practices. Because of my background in training and behavior, I pay close attention to each pet's physical and emotional well-being and will let you know if I notice any changes that may be important. Whether your companion needs an enriching walk, a fun and engaging visit, or simply calm companionship and routine care, my goal is for every pet to feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I am professionally insured and bonded, and I am Pet CPR and First Aid Certified through the Animal Behavior College. As a professional trainer and behavior consultant for dogs and cats, I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, and each pet's individual needs, helping them feel safe and comfortable while maintaining their routine and following your instructions carefully. I believe trust is earned through patience, kindness, and respect, and I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet can feel secure while you're away.
About: I have been working in boarding and daycare facilities for many years, as well as having my own foster organization ran out of my home, and I also have two dogs of my own! I work as a babysitter/nanny part-time, but my schedule is very flexible and I am able to change hours and days very frequently or as needed I will treat your home as I would want someone to treat mine, as well as the animals. I will take as best care as I can, and keep everything clean and tidy, as well as following any rules. Instructed.
“Emily did a wonderful job. She took the time to interact with our two cats. She secured the home and communicated regularly on her activities. We were very pleased with this service and the quality of our sitter.”
“I love how conscientious Matilda is with all of our requests and providing feedback to us during her visits. My cat, Milo, is warming up to her and has even spent time on her lap (for my Scardy Cat - that is amazing). I hope to continue to use her during our travels.”
“I had a great experience with Ademide. She agreed to cat-sit on short notice and looked after my Luna for a whole week and some days. Our communication was smooth and reassuring and I received timely updates, cute videos and photos that showed my cat was comfortable and happy. My cat seemed relaxed and well looked after when I returned. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

Talia was amazing! She took the time to meet me and Nugget beforehand. She took good care of my home and Nugget throughout the week. She had good communication and was reliable and trustworthy. She also took the best pictures of Nugget during my time away and I enjoyed looking at all the pictures every day 😊 would definitely rebook with her for my next trip!
Julia is absolutely AWESOME she went above and beyond to make sure our elder cat always received his meds even when he was in hiding 😂 My cats very comfortable with her and always happy to see her! She wasn’t bothered by extra tasks whatsoever she truly is a above and beyond sitter and an absolutely loving and animal loving person 💜
Heather was outstanding watching our two dogs and cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She is reliable, communicates clearly, and is very comfortable handling multiple pets. During our trip, one of our dogs had an unexpected medical issue, and Heather handled everything start to finish. She recognized something wasn’t right, notified us and with our ok took him to the vet, kept us informed the whole time, and took care of the treatment he needed to get better. Her experience working in a veterinary setting really showed, and while we felt completely comfortable trusting her to make the right decisions, she also made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything in great shape. Heather is truly extraordinary and we wouldn’t hesitate to book 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 .
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. 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.
