About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I regularly help take care of my neighbor’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I also volunteer with animal shelters whenever I can because I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m very patient, energetic, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I love spending time outdoors on walks and keeping pets active and happy. As a student who also works, I often have gaps in my schedule during the early mornings and midday. I usually spend that time going on long walks or being active, so I thought, why not have a furry friend join me? I enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need, and I’m happy to fit their routines into my day whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following your instructions carefully and paying close attention to their needs. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Rhonda was excellent at taking care of Winston and Reina and went above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies 😊”
“Wonderful!! My pets and I, loved Sheila!! She is trustworthy, and conscientious, and took excellent care of my pets!! She sent me updates, and pictures, was very attentive and my pets loved her, So grateful for getting her for my sitter when the first one cancelled! I am relieved that I now have someone I can trust 100% when I need a pet sitter?????????”
“Sarah always goes above and beyond for my cat and myself. She is always looking out for my senior furbaby's wellbeing. I can tell that she is kind, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I am so grateful to have found her.”
“Elizabeth was an absolute joy for my animals. She is also incredibly punctual and always on time. She went above and beyond everything! She took the liberty of picking up after my dog outside and scooped/changed my cats litter [both of those were not expected]. She also went out of her way to bring my trash and recycling to the curb realizing it was trash day! On our meet and greet my large German Shepherd and 2 cats immediately bonded with her, Elizabeth has a gift with animals. I have also used her in the past to stay with my animals for a few days while im out of town. She sends pictures and updates often and I truly felt at ease knowing she was there with them. Elizabeth takes her job very seriously and made sure to really stimulate and play with all of my animals. Whether you need someone to drop by, take your animals for a walk or stay with them for a few days, Elizabeth will absolutely get the job done and more. I will be using her services often!”
About: I’ve been taking care of me own dog for 8 years she’s a pit-bull mix terrier and I’ve also had experience in administering medication with different animals as long as there not aggressive and I’ve also had experiences dealing with different dog breads as a former employee at pet land and a summer job at an animal pet spa as a bather. I have lots of time to take care of your family I call animals family because that’s what my dog means to me and I’m also trying to make this into a living and a career. I’ll provide a nurturing environment and try to avoid all dangers while your animals are in my care. And will follow instructions that you have regarding your animal to the best of my ability.
“Ray is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)”
“Shaune took very good care of my dog and cat! She was very thorough and spent lots of time with them. She also communicated with me frequently and sent lots of photos. I highly recommend Shaune!”
“Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.”
“Alyson is truly a dog person. She was awesome with Missy. She followed my instructions for her and went above and beyond caring for her. I ran out of her premium dog food, and Alyson brought some to replace it while I was gone, which was so thoughtful of her and Missy was so grateful for that. I am looking forward to having Alyson back to care from Missy again. I feel very comfortable, leaving her in her care.”
“Lauren did an amazing job pet sitting while we were on vacation. The app was so easy to use; Lauren was so responsive, friendly and we didn’t have to worry once about our furry babies. Lauren allowed us to focus on our vacation and have fun. Lauren sent photos of our fur babies every day, which really made us feel comfortable and at ease. You could tell that Lauren genuinely enjoyed spending time with our children and they felt comfortable enough around her to come out and get love (cats). We will definitely reach out to Lauren for future trips and vacations. We highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs, your fur babies will thank you!”

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.
