“Stefanie always provides great, consistent care for our two kitties and goes above and beyond with her communication which is amazing to have while away from home! We definitely recommend her!”
“Samantha is absolutely amazing; she did much more than the bare minimum and made sure to give my cat some playtime and affection while I was gone. She's very good with communication and sending photos — highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Alexandra was awesome! My kitties looked happy and healthy when we returned. I received regular reports and updates. She even went above and beyond and brought in our mail and packages, some of which were very heavy. I will most definitely be using her services again!”
“Amanda is wonderful! She took great care of our kitties & our apartment (the kitties knocked over a plant and she cleaned everything up so nicely). This was our 2nd time booking with her and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Pamela did a great job taking care of my cat, WiFi. She was responsive, reliable, and sent me really detailed updates while I was away. WiFi is pretty shy with new people, and I gave Pamela a few suggestions for trying to make friends with him. She was happy to humor me and actually managed to win him over by the end of the stay. He was coming out to see her, accepting pets, and generally getting much more comfortable around her. She had no problems giving him his medication or taking care of everything else he needed, and I came home to everything in good shape. She even put up with the less-than-ideal guest parking situation at my building with grace. I’d absolutely book Pamela again and would especially recommend her to anyone with a shy or cautious cat. WiFi can be a tough customer, so the fact that she got him to warm up to her says a lot.”
“Grace did a stellar job taking care of my cat, B, while we were on vacation for a week. She played with her and loved on her during every visit, gave her fresh water, cleaned her cat box, made sure her automatic feeder was working properly, filled the bird feeder outside her window bed, and checked our mail. If there were questions, she asked me. She took great pictures of B. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone who needs a pet sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
“End your search for the perfect pet sitter—Melissa is simply wonderful. Our cats are typically skittish and hide from strangers, but Melissa took the time to understand them and earn their trust. She even managed to give our 17-year-old cat oral medication without any trouble and completely won over our 3-year-old’s heart. We never thought we’d find a sitter our cats would be comfortable with, and Melissa has far surpassed our expectations.”
“Taylor has been our sitter for a while and she I trustworthy, cares for our pets like they are her own and always give her all while caring for our pets even when we had a tiny emergency. I highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“I highly recommend Clara for your pet sitting needs. We have a cat with epilepsy who requires medicine 3x a day, which makes traveling even more complicated. However, Clara was consistent, on time and even sent us multiple updates and photos while we were gone. Our kitties really seemed to enjoy her company! Thanks again, Clara!”
“Ty took great care of my three cats. Was on time for visits, administered medicine, cleaned litter, and played with them. All three cats, who are normally being skittish, warmed up to them right away. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Willow is amazing, very passionate about animals and it shows with each visit. The pics she sent shows how happy my pets are to see her with every time she drops in! I will certainly have her watch them again!”
About: I have been pet and house sitting since 2022. So far I have been pet sitting for friends and their friends, but I wanted to extend my services to the lovely people in my area. I grew up with a big dog as our family pet. Though he is no longer with us he was the perfect sassy addition to our family. Since I have started pet sitting I have had 4-legged clients of ALL sizes, we are talking teacup pup to 100+ lbs. I also have experience with all ages ranging from ~6months to senior and I understand their different needs and energy levels. I love to run and walk especially when a doggy friend tags along. I DO have experiment giving oral medications. I am an engineering student at GMU and my schedule can be a little funky compared to a typical 9-5. Please reach out to check my specific daily and long term availability! I take very great care for the safety of the animals that I watch over. I take special care when unleashing dogs to make sure that we are in a secure location (ex. Closed garage/door or fence). While on walks, even with friendly dogs, I try to stay away from others to prevent any potential incidents from happening. I also have experience with giving animals oral medication. I take close care to keep the medications on schedule and triple check that the medication was taken and not spit out (they can be sneaky sometimes).
“William started weekly stop ins for my dog Dakota and working with him has been fantastic. He’s responsive and professional and very sweet with my dog. Dakota looks forward to her walks.”

Clara was absolutely fantastic! From the time she came for a meet and greet, the pets just adored her. She was so kind and loving with them. She was a wonderful communicator and was in touch with us throughout our time away. When she took care of them, she took her time, met each of their needs and shared thorough summaries that included multiple photos each visit. She was terrific and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Clara!
Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!

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.

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 .

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.
