“Mak was amazing with our cat, Benji. She was very responsive and communicative from the start, which really helped ease our stress during the holidays. Benji is very shy, but by the end he was getting close to her—a great sign. We’re very happy to have found someone as attentive and responsible as Mak and will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you a lot!!”
“My two dogs loved their drop in visits from Kinsley so much! She did great with them and was very good at communicating with me. We would definitely book her again in the future”
“She was incredible! We had never used Rover but we were so thankful Jade could watch Willie for us when we were gone. If you want someone who is responsible and does a great job Jade is your person.”
“I highly recommend Kathleen M.! We used her for home visits over a weekend out of town. She came by for each visit as scheduled, spent quality/focus time with our puppies, and communicated exceptionally well with us as required. We enjoyed meeting her a few days before the scheduled visits which was very comforting before we left. She takes this work very seriously and has a great love for puppies. We will use her services again.”

We were worried to go out of town for a wedding since one of our cats was a little ill, but after meeting Sage and seeing how knowledgeable and confident she was in assisting in our cats’ care (special foods, medicines) the doubts in our minds began to fade away.

About: As an experienced pet sitter trusted by family and friends, I provide attentive care for cats and dogs. With a natural bond that animals love, I bring the same affection to my two pets at home. I have plenty of time. Available 3 to 4 days a week and weekends. Opportunities for overnight, evening and mornings are open. Walking and play time. I can come to your home for your loved ones can feel comfortable and safe. I do have a dog that’s very friendly and loves visitors if that works for you too.
About: I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I also have experience caring for geriatric pets and animals that need medication, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to detail. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, basic reinforcement of good habits, or extra care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am already used to being responsible, organized, and consistent with my time. I make sure pets receive dependable care, attention, walks, feeding, medication if needed, and companionship without feeling rushed. I understand that animals do best with routine, so I work hard to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s schedule as normal and comfortable as possible. I focus on keeping their routine as normal, safe, and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication, potty breaks, crate use, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have a clean, calm environment, fresh water, regular attention, and plenty of patience. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy level, appetite, and comfort so I can quickly notice if something seems off. My goal is to give each pet dependable care while giving the owner peace of mind.
About: I am home most days of the week, and will gladly be flexible to any schedule you have! I enjoy caring for all types of animals as my family has had a wide range of pets my entire life, such as dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, and many other interesting fur babies. In my pet care experience, I have been an owner of a dachshund that had an arthritic spine and I had to take special note of what could aggravate her condition, so I had to work with her and her needs. I also had a dog with a history of seizures, and had to monitor him closely for his medication needs as well as watch for triggers in his surroundings. My entire family loves animals and we have been pet owners my entire life. I am home with my dogs most days and try to find fun activities to keep them entertained, and I’d be more than happy to do the same for your babies! I have a large fenced backyard and two friendly pups that can keep your fur baby company. I can always separate them if needed, though, should any of them show signs of stress or aggravation.
“Madison came by for a meet and greet for our cat but we ended up needing her for the dogs instead. She was great about adjusting to our need. She played with them and they seemed to love loved her. Would use again!”
“Cassidy took care of our dog while I was away for an evening. I found Cassidy to be flexible, professional, and communicative. Other than Carolina being perfectly cared for, I couldn't tell Cassidy was in my home- meaning everything was done exactly as I would have done it.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dothan
This is the second time Kinsley has watched our cats for us. We are very happy with everything she does and our kitties are very well-cared for! Care included feeding/water, litter cleaning, and some love/attention. She is very responsive and kept us abreast of everything, including each visit, when some decor fell off a mirror (probably cats), when there was vomit (and cleaned it up), and even noticed our cat's over-grown dew claws and trimmed them! She also took in the mail and a few packages, as well as ran the garbage can out for pick up and back. It was comforting to know everything was fine at home while we were gone. We will definitely ask her again in the future!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She was incredibly accommodating with our unique situation involving Penny and took the time to follow all of our care instructions exactly. She was also so patient and understanding with our shy cat, Lucy, and made sure all three of our cats were well cared for while we were away. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties and had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Mak was amazing with our cat, Benji. She was very responsive and communicative from the start, which really helped ease our stress during the holidays.

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.

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.
