“Olivia was very personable. She did 2 drop in visits a day for my cat Gracie, who took to her right away. Gracie is on a raw food diet which required fresh food twice a day. Gracie ate well, not losing any weight, which meant she felt very comfortable with Olivia. I recommend her completely. She was wonderful.”
“Meaghan was absolutely amazing with our kitties! We have a spicy gal who doesn't tolerate strangers well, and she waltzed right up to Meaghan and rubbed on her! Meaghan is the cat whisperer, and takes great photos! Would highly recommend!”
“We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.”

“Isabella came through for us last-minute and provided great care for our two pups daily for a busy weekend! Appreciated her great, ongoing communication and will definitely seek her help again in the future!”
“Spencer took great care of my two kittens during his drop-in visits and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with cats. He even scooped the litter box twice because one of my kittens likes to use it right after it’s cleaned. I would definitely trust Spencer to watch my cats again and highly recommend him.”
About: All 3 of my animals I've owned throughout my life have lived full, happy lives. They also, however, required close supervision. Both cats were outdoor cats which required consistent grooming, tick repellant, and even medicine administration for when they ate something they shouldn't have, or developed infections (administering pills to a cat is a skill I'm proud to put on my resume.) My dog Connor developed an autoimmune disease, and required prednisone administration daily. He was also a very reactive dog to other dogs, so those behaviors I am very well-versed in handling. The same can be said for my partner's family's two dogs (black lab mix and white Dogo Argentino), and my sister's pug mix. Dogs are reactive for a reason and I do not judge them for it, I'm happy to accommodate their predispositions. I work completely remote (and to be truthful it's a pretty chill job day to day) so I'd consider myself the best option as someone who has a full time job outside of Rover! Plus, I love the company of pet sitting during the week. I'm of the belief that cats and dogs belong on the couch and the bed, so in my home they are allowed wherever they please. That being said, if you have more strict rules for your animals either inside my home or yours, I completely understand and have no problem carrying out your wishes (obviously.) My care style is attentive. I know that's another obvious answer, but I've always loved interacting with animals, playing with them, etc. It makes me happy.
“Natalie has been an amazing help for me and my wife whenever we go out of town. She is super caring and takes the time to make sure everything is well taken care. Our two cats love her and always look forward to it when she comes over to take care of them. Highly recommend Natalie!”
About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.
“Dawn has been a great sitter for my cats. I am so happy that she is willing to spend the nights with them. She also put on Cat TV for them and that has really entertained them. Dawn cuddles with my cats and keeps them content. I will be using Dawn for all my over night get aways.”
“Delen was attentive and affectionate with our sweet kitty. She engaged our Cali in play time and snuggles. Delen also communicated well with us. We recommend her services for your pet too!”
About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs in my life. From big to small, young to old. I get along with all animals I come in contact to, I have a lot of free time and would love to take care and give love. I have a lot of free time after work. I am also open to staying over night or them staying over night at my house with my two cats. I’m very flexible. I would keep an eye on all times and make sure they are loved. Make sure that everything the owner wants, I’m able to give!
About: Throughout the years I have dogsat/pet sat for numerous family members and various other individuals. I am experienced in dogs of old age, puppies (and their shark phase lol), dogs with dementia, smaller dogs (yorkies, etc). For my current boss, I have watched her pitbull puppy numerous times whilst multitasking and watching a toddler. Also, a fun fact is I adopted a dog of my own from nickel city canine rescue. His name is bluey and he is just over a year old. I know the challenges that come with dogs, due to the when I got him he was reserved, untrained, and very scared of people walking up to him. Now after many training sessions and lots of patience and love me and him have become social butterflies. To summarize; I have skills in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with dementia/disabilities, a variety of puppy ages, and training puppies basic commands (sit, wait for food, ring potty bells, etc). I hope to hear from you soon !! I currently work part time (Wednesday and Thursday) as a nanny, and I am in school to receive my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. So on my free days I’d love to take care of your pets :) I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I make sure to walk my dog two times a day ( weather permitting) and to do lots of brain enrichments. If you need, in my time in your home I can clean bowls, set up enrichment toys, or take your babies for a nice walk.
About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.
About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
