“Stephanie is the best! She took such good care of our two cats. She was very communicative and was even successful in getting one shy cat out to play. We came home to two healthy cats and an immaculate house, and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Terrific as always! (And I'm so sorry for forgetting to do this until now). I always love getting updates from Jessica, and I always come back to a clean home and a happy kitty.”
“As always Davida does a great job. Lady seems to feel safe with her and is warming up to her. It is reassuring to know that Lady is well cared for when we are out of town.”
“Abbie took such great care of my cats! She followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated with every visit. Knowing my cats were in great hands made it easy to enjoy my trip stress-free. Highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was super helpful in taking care of our cats on short notice. She arrived right on time everyday. They warmed up to her instantly. She paid great attention to detail and even accommodated us when we had a change in plans, which was very kind.”
“This was my first time to have Kenna do drop-in visits with my cat, and she was excellent! Her visits and her communication were both timely and helpful, and she was good with my cat. Her photos really put my mind at ease while being away from home. I highly recommend her!”
“Farheen was so kind to my cats. It was their first time being boarded, and I was really nervous. They were understandably scared, so I picked them up early, but she still checked in afterward to see how they were doing. While they were in her care, she was attentive, communicative, and nurturing. She kept me updated on their eating and drinking habits and made sure they felt comfortable in her home. I highly recommend Farheen for any pet care services!”
“Alice was a lifesaver and was able to dog sit for us last minute. She was attentive to all the details for Stella’s care needs and was respectful to our home. Very responsible and professional! Thank you Alice!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely pay attention to each pet as an individual. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, energy level, and way of communicating, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and cats, including a Labrador mix and an XL American Bully, so I’m comfortable around both smaller pets and large, strong dogs. I understand that bigger dogs can require extra awareness, patience, confidence, and consistency, especially during walks and high-energy moments. I’m attentive to routines such as feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic commands, medication instructions provided by owners, and keeping the home and pet areas clean. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or mood and will communicate with you if I notice something unusual. Most importantly, I treat pets with patience and respect rather than expecting every animal to immediately trust me. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, cuddly, or needs a little extra time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for and loved. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of time and attention. I can plan my day around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and any routines your pet is already comfortable with. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and body language. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others feel safest having their own space, and I respect both. I never force interaction and allow shy or nervous pets time to become comfortable with me. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and other designated areas are secure, keep pet areas clean, and double-check that your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. 🐾
About: We’ve taken care of dogs and cats our entire life, as well as Israel owning exotic animals. We know what it takes to care for puppies and adult dogs Danyelle and israel focus on pet care for most of their days. Israel does have a full time schedule that does shift on occasion. He is completely free of time on the weekends and anytime after 5pm. Danyelle is a stay at home pet parent who 100% focuses on the care and maintenance of the pups. She sometimes does run quick errands but nothing more than 2-3 hours to ensure potty breaks are given in a timely manner. We care for our pets with love. We feed them regularly and make sure they have plenty of water. We also love playing with big dogs. I take my parents dogs to the park to run around and release energy as well as playing fetch. We have a schedule of feeding everyone either together if possible or individually we’ll bring one in at a time to ensure no one is eating each others food and they feel comfortable enough to enjoy the food without issues.
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for most of my life. I previously owned a Pekingese puppy in my early 20s, but cats have always been a big part of my life. I currently have an orange tabby who came to me at just 3 weeks old and is now a healthy, strong 17-year-old senior cat. Having cared for him through every stage of his life, I understand the patience, attention, and extra care that young and senior pets can need. I believe pets deserve more than just the basics—I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the personal experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs and treat them with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available for drop-in visits during the week and can stop by at different times depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I’m off work at 3 PM Monday through Thursday and at 2 PM on Fridays, with my weekends completely free. I’m available all day on weekends and have flexibility during the week for drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule, whether they need a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, walking, litter box care, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their owner’s specific instructions, routines, and preferences. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their normal routine is maintained, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, walking guidelines, medications, litter box care, playtime, and any other instructions provided. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of keeping doors secure, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable throughout each visit. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.
“Sierra was great!! She took great care of my pets and I had no worries leaving them in her care. She was respectful and sent updates every day. I would highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her!”
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She kept us updated, and went above and beyond on taking care of our cats and making sure everything went smoothly. 100% recommend Sydney, she’ll treat your pets like they’re her own!”
About: I love all animals! I volunteer at the Williamson county animal shelter where I am both cat and dog trained. I take dogs from the shelter on doggy day outs and also pet sit for friends and family! I am available to provide drop in visits and walks 3 times a day. I’m also able to stay overnight if your dog needs to feel safe in their own home. I have a kennel at home and a relaxing apartment to pet sit for smaller or medium size dogs. I have a flex/hybrid schedule and I am off on the weekends, and no other obligations, so I have time to take care of your pet! I have a dog park next to my apartment, a nice walking trail, and a comfortable apartment for your pet to relax and feel safe! For check in, I can provide 3-4 check ins per day or how many ever your pet needs. I have a lot of stimulating toys in my car like balls, ropes and a frisbee!
“Oh goodness Annabelle was terrific!! She kept us updated on Chai several times a day. She left the house in better condition than when she got here. She is officially our go-to house sitter!”
“Angel took great care of our two cats! They both really liked her, and everything went smoothly. We’re very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Sarah was absolutely AMAZING!! She took such good care of my kitties. She followed all my instructions, was very attentive, cleaned up after them and was never late!! I will DEFINITELY be booking her services again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dessau
While I was on vacation they were superb at quality and quantity of care. While they made sure to take care of everything you would expect, they went beyond the expected. I felt like my pets were truly cared about. The greatest service was the peace of mind we had while away. This priceless feeling was well worth the booking!
Pressley was amazing with my cats! One is very timid and she was very respectful of his space while ensuring to give my super social cat lots of love and attention! She also did really good following their feeding instructions and made sure that everything was nice and clean when she left :)
I always say this but I am going to say it again Stephanie is a FANTASTIC cat sitter. As someone with cats on meds and are anxious, I am never nervous when I know she is coming. She was even able to get my very skiddish male cat to come out and play, he doesn't like anyone who isnt us :) 100000/10 will book again!
We had a wonderful experience with Alexcymar! She took great care of our kitty Pepper while we were away and gave us such peace of mind. We received updates and pictures/videos after every drop-in visit, which we truly appreciated. After 6 days, we came home to a happy kitty! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful and caring pet sitter.
My cat was in good hands with Jeremy! She seemed to really enjoy his company, and I returned home to a happy healthy kitty. Jeremy also helped monitor a few things around the house which I greatly appreciate, as I would have not been able to relax without him doing so. 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 .
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 .

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.

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.
