“Mara was awesome!! The cats seemed to be comfortable with her immediately -- even our shy girl. Her drop-in pics made us smile everyday and she followed instructions perfectly as far as we could tell! Thank you Mara! You rock :)”
“Contacted Matthew somewhat last minute and he did an amazing job watching my two kitties! Very friendly introduction and professional service for my kitties. Would definitely book again in the future.”
About: I have 4 cats of my own. Experience with small and medium dogs. Open to medical care, pet-related chores (litter box & poop scoopin), and especially cuddles! Love to give treats & play! I am a nurse who works night shifts, I have my schedule at the hospital 6-8weeks in advance usually! On days I’m working I would drop in the morning and the evening. I’m wide open on my days off! I’d like to recreate your own routine with your pets while you’re away! Comfortable with crates, walks, playing, feeding, cuddling, cleaning, sending updates via photo/video!
About: Hello! I have had dogs around me all my life. I’m currently a dog parent to two Chihuahua mix dogs, Bennie and Jet. Both are rescued and very sweet. I have assisted in training hunting dogs for my family and friends. I don’t have any professional experience, but I love dogs and I’m very good at making dogs feel safe and loved. I live in Rochester, MN and work a job that is Monday-Friday 8am-5pm in the office. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I would love to get to know you and your four legged family members!!! I typically work 9am-5pm at the office 3-4 days a week. In the mornings, I take my pups out to go potty and then they tend to come in and go back to bed. When I can I like to come home over my lunch to take them out and play a bit. In the evenings, we play outside if it’s nice and inside if not. My pups are free feeders so they eat when they are hungry and I just fill the bowl back up, this is typically 1/2-1 cup per day for my two chihuahuas. I’ve followed more routine feeding with my dogs in the past but this works best for mine now. My pups will cuddle on the couch with me until bedtime then they sleep in bed with me. I have a fenced in yard with trees for the pups to play in. Good side-walked neighborhood for walks. My house has stairs but I use baby gates for when senior or special needs pets visit. Lots of dog beds and blankets, all the blankets in my house belong to the pups lol.
About: I grew up taking care of my family dogs and cats since I can remember! (15+ years) We have had animals of all sizes - small to large! I have cared for senior dogs and cats as well as 9 week old puppies and kittens. I love animals and I am very passionate about ensuring they are treated with love and respect. I am searching for work as I recently graduated from the University of Kansas with my Master of Social work degree! I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your baby(ies)! I live in a townhome with a yard and access to walking trails nearby! There is plenty of space for your dog(s) to play, walk, and get exercise!
About: I grew up surrounded by pets! My family fostered (and adopted) many different dogs and cats for many years! I am a student here in Rochester, so I unfortunately had to leave my pets at home with my mom. That being said, I am looking for any pet-sitting, or dog-walking gigs to spend some time with pets and also help pay for my education! In the past I have helped out watching my neighbors dogs, and also taken care of cats. In addition to this, I take my own dog, as well as my friends dogs on walks whenever I can! I am currently a student working towards my masters degree! Due to this, my schedule is relatively flexible, and allows me to spend a large portion of my days lounging around various places studying. On days I have class, I frequently have breaks throughout the day that would allow me time to walk a pup or check in on any other pets! I am comfortable walking into a house with a dog either in its crate or just roaming the house! I have no issues cleaning up any waste on walks and am happy to make sure pets are comfortable and fed before I leave!
About: I've had pets since I was five years old, and have taken care of dogs for the last six years. I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and miss being around them every day. Growing up, I cared for different pets in my neighborhood, and have been on Rover since 2020, working with pets of all shapes and sizes (but mostly dogs and cats). I have an extremely flexible schedule since I work in a hybrid capacity, and can be available as often as your pet requires me to be. I have availability every day of the week, as well as nights. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person, who wants nothing more than to provide your fur baby with a safe and caring environment. I am also very respectful of others' space.
“We are so happy to have had Shurie come by to visit with our cats this weekend. So nice to be able to get away and know that your family is in good hands. We so appreciate Shurie!! She is so nice, and the cats loved her. Thank you so much Shurie, we thank you very, very much!!”
“Jade took great care of Luna and Casper Kitty while they boarded with her. Both cats were comfortable and well looked after the entire time. She communicated with me daily and sent photos, which was so reassuring. I felt very confident leaving them in her care and would happily book Jade again!”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Douglas
It was the third time we work with Alison, and she took great care of our two cats and fish as always. She spent quality time with our two cats everyday. When she noticed the cats requires more attention than we originally planned, we gald that she can extended her daily stays. Besides that, she helped maintain our place clean and organized when incidents happened, and proactively helped us around our home (put out trash, check on our garden, sprayed an ant nest, etc. ). It was such pleasant experience working with her, and I would recommend her to anyone!
Andria accepted our request immediately, had wonderful communication before meeting, met on time to learn the details of our cat and meet him. During her visits, she would sent pictures and great updates! We highly recommend Andria to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter! 😊

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.
