“Kiffin is so sweet to my pups and has taken the time to truly get to know them and their individual needs and personalities. I know my pups are well cared for when she’s with them!”
“As always, Danny and Jennifer go above and beyond. They took care of our boy even when he was freaked out and grumpy! The loved our girl even when she stole ALL the balls. They even checked on our lost Roomba and helped it find its way home. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you!!!”
“Michael & Beth we’re fantastic! They took great care of our boy - taking him on long walks and giving him plenty of attention. They also sent over lots of photos during their time with him, which was appreciated. They communicated well with us and we’ll definitely book with them again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends most of my life, but especially in the last 6 years. I’ve become the go-to person to care for friends’ pets and feel comfortable following detailed care instructions. My aim is to provide peace of mind while you are away from your beloved pet(s). My seasonal job allows me to spend all day with my pets and I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. That means long walks, lots of playtime, and reinforcement of their training. For cats, a routine is key and I love getting to see their personalities come out as I gain their trust. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I enjoy taking my dog for long walks in the neighborhood and bringing him to nearby parks for a change of scenery.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and almost made a career out of it. I currently have a senior dog, but raised her since she was a puppy and loved every minute of it. I’m currently off work for the summer, so me and my two kids are just hanging out and having fun! I have a lot of free time to walk your lovely dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a two story house. I love to play and cuddle and just love on dogs and cats. Whatever their vibe and energy are, I tend to match it.
“Ryan is a breath of fresh air after having several poor pet sitter experiences. We are very thankful to have found her, as we are completely at ease during our trips out of town. She is thoughtful, prompt, and thorough. We love her and so do Bonnie and Panda!”
“Rachel is great! Our two dogs are always excited to see her. We’ve had a couple meet and greets so they could get acclimated with each other. This was the first time she came to our home without us there and everything went well. We are very happy to have found this match!”
“Mason is wonderful! He took great care of my cats while I was out of town and made sure they were loved on. He is transparent, easy to communicate with, and provides great visit reports and photos. You’ll be at ease knowing he is watching your fur babies and they will be well taken care of.”
“Porter took such great care of Lola over Thanksgiving! I am so grateful that he consistently checked in and sent updates/pictures. I will definitely be asking for his help again!”
“My dog LOVES Nicholas. He took the time to bond with her. He is reliable and kind. My mind was at ease knowing Nicholas was there to feed, walk, and comfort my dog.”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat. I loved the daily photos and was pleased to see that Sarah was able to win over our normally standoffish kitty! It gave us great peace of mind to know all was well at home while we were away.”
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years in St. Louis, MO with a variety of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, fish, and more! I love animals with my whole heart and would be more than happy to show them the love I know they’re deserving of! I also worked at a pet store called Treats Unleashed and a cat cafe called Whisker Station in St. Louis, MO where I was trained on behavioral pets and all types of pet supervision. I’m new to Rover but am not new at all to pet sitting! -I also offer plant watering and any other around the house tasks you may need while gone. -Back at home in St. Louis I have an american shorthair cat named Rue and two dogs; a pitbull named Spud and a black lab named Winnie. The thing i’ve missed most about moving away from home is simply being able to hang out with animals. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for you pets like I care for my own. Every animal deserves love, kindness, and lots of pets! I am a full time student at Transylvania University who is able to do check in visits or staying the night with your fur baby’s! My schedule isn’t too packed, just a few classes during the day, so your pets will get all the attention the rest of the day! I am willing to stay at the clients house to ensure comfortability for the pets. I have had four dogs, each with very different needs and differing aggression levels so I am able to handle all types of behavior.
“Alicia was great with my shy and anxious pup. She also agreed to check in on him last minute. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pups and will be using her services again. Thanks so much!”
About: With 20+ years of experience, I bring a passion for providing top-notch care to cats and dogs. I ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and adaptable to each pet’s unique needs—offering personalized attention, engaging playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I'm currently not working, only volunteer. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. We’ll enjoy walks or playtime to keep them engaged. Plenty of affection and relaxation when they need it. I aim to keep their day fun, enriching, and stress-free. I create a safe and welcoming environment for every animal I care for. I follow their established routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and ensure they’re mentally and physically stimulated. Your animal's comfort and trust are always my top priorities.
About: I have had either a dog or a cat in my home since birth! I love taking care of pets and giving them love and attention. I work during the day Monday through Friday, but can stop by in the evenings to take care of your loved pets! I can also do longer stays on weekends to give them some more attention. I love spending time with your pets, making sure they get my full attention. Then I will be thorough with making sure all of their health and nutritional needs are met, so you don’t have to worry!
“I love Kate! Very friendly and her communication is consistent. She constantly sent pictures and Bailey loved her. Definitely helped ease my nerves in leaving her behind. Will be using her again for sure.”

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.
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 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.
