“Rachelle was a great sitter! This was our first time using Rover for our two cats, who are quarantine cats, so I was very worried about how they would be without someone with them all day, but Rachelle did a great job of making our cats feel comfortable and happy. We got lots of pictures and updates during her visits. It was reassuring knowing I left them in good hands!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life and try my best to create an stress-free and healthy environment for your pets and your peace of mind! I’m currently on a sporadic schedule which leaves me with a lot of time to take care of your pet and all their needs as well as give the support they deserve. I will make sure the environment is very stress-free and calm along with the potential need for discipline (which I will do as your directed desires.)

“I recently had the pleasure of using Jeanette for my diabetic kitty, Stella, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the start, Jeanette was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that she understood Stella's special needs and medication schedule. During my time away, Jeanette kept me updated with regular photos and detailed messages about how Stella was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Stella requires precise insulin administration and a strict feeding routine, and Jeanette handled everything perfectly. It's clear that Jeanette has a genuine love for animals and a solid understanding of how to care for pets with special medical needs. When I returned, I took solace knowing Stella had been well-cared for. I highly recommend Jeanette for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. Thank you, Jeanette, for your exceptional service!”

About: I'd love to help care for pets while you’re away! I’m happy to look after cats and small-medium sized dogs. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make time for play and affection, and give them space when they need it. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind. I'm happy to provide weekend hours and then some depending on what is needed. I do work a full time job Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:30. I will happily follow guides and routines set for your pet(s). I only offer to pet sit at the owners home. I do have 5 cats of my own at home and that would stress all parties out.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether they love to play, go for walks, or just relax and cuddle. I provide a safe, loving environment and will treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾🐶 As a college student and part-time worker on the weekends, I have a flexible schedule during the week and enjoy spending my free time caring for pets. I do best with laid-back pets and can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care that fits both their routine and mine. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I always make sure pets have a clean, safe environment and receive plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to provide care that keeps both pets and their owners happy and at ease.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I used to be certified in Veterinary Assisting when I lived out of state and worked at a dog day care and boarding facility for many years. I do work a full time job at a bank, so I have availability every afternoon to help fit in evening walks. With that being said, most of my weekends are also free. I have a fenced in yard that keeps my dogs contained while they are out and provides ample amount of running space. I have experience and knowledge in group play.

I asked Ashely to care for my cats while I was away, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She arrived right on time, which gave me total peace of mind before my trip. Her communication was excellent — she sent regular updates, photos, and even let me know little details about how my cats were doing each day. Most importantly, my cats absolutely adored her! They’re usually a tiny bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to her immediately and seemed happy and relaxed the whole time. Knowing they were in such caring hands made my trip so much less stressful. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
