“I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Qiting was so amazing and our pup loved her so much! Qiting went above and beyond and was extremely helpful to our high energy and fearful pup. She sent lots of heartwarming photos and handled our puppy’s lunchtime perfectly! 12/10 couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Qiting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jacqueline did a great job with Xena. She walked her and took photos and even hung out with my kitties. She is very reliable and caring. I look forward to booking her again. Thank you Jac!!! ♡”
About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.
About: I have owned chickens, cats, parakeets, and dogs in the past. Pets are my life. My boy Kenny (a Goldendoodle), whom I recently got, I consider my son. Because of my PTA program, I'm only available during the mornings on Mon/Wed/Thu. On all other days, I have open availability to stay as long as your pets need! While I cannot take pets to my own home, I can take care of pets in other settings so long as the owner is comfortable and aware of where I am with their pet.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 12 and grew up with dogs since I was a baby. I enjoy all animals, so am happy to be of service to any pets! I helped potty train the dog we got when I was 12 and also taught him all of his tricks. I love being around animals so please reach out if you need any services! I will be home from college toward the end of May until he middle of August and am available Monday through Saturday at any time. I will always keep my eyes on your pet when they’re outside and will make sure that they obey house rules if they are indoors.
“Cristina did an amazing job taking care of my kitty for 2 weeks while we were traveling! She followed all instructions meticulously and communication was top notch. I highly recommend her!”
“Zoey was dealing with 5 cats, one who has a urinary issue. She did a great job. She stayed in touch with me & sent pics, she asked questions as needed, and everything was great when we got back.”
“Justin was a great sitter for our two doggies! He played with them, fed them, and gave them water just as we asked. He also even picked up their poop which was a nice touch! He made it very easy for us to enjoy our getaway without needing to worry about our dogs. They were in great hands while we were gone!”
About: Your dog’s home-away-from-home—where they feel safe and loved. I offer small-scale boarding (not a kennel). This is a great option for pet parents seeking a safer alternative to kennels. Training-informed, positive-reinforcement environment. Deep experience with rescue, reactive, separation anxiety and other special-needs dogs who require a calm home environment. Home atmosphere + constant human presence. My home is quiet with a front yard that feels like you're in a small forest. Good vibes all around. I'm truly an all-around dog lover, and I and have a passion for saving, fostering, and boarding if it means a happier life for a dog and his/her human. I've had a passion for caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I've rescued several dogs from a high-kill shelter and fostered them until we found a forever home. I currently work closely with a couple of dog rescues that help find fosters or adopters for high-energy dogs in overcrowded shelters, once they've gone through an evaluation stage and the necessary training. I have dog training knowledge, and I'm also trained in dog psychology. My goal is to work with service dogs and get them ready for their new human. I have experience working with extra large breeds as well as the cute, tiny ones. I also have experience with special need dogs who require medication, If you have a special needs dog, I have experience in: Oral medication administration Injected medication administration Senior dog experience Special needs dog experience I currently work part time from my home office and tend to my plants which allows me plenty of time to devote to your furry family member. I enjoy time at home, painting, reading, cooking, gardening, playing my congas or simply relaxing in front of the television. I enjoy caring for pets as if they were my own, which means getting to know their personalities and what they like to do for fun. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. A possible daily routine: A morning walk or let them roam the yard (depends on the owners choice), followed by breakfast and some loving. Afternoon time consists of potty breaks and some play time in the yard or indoors and some afternoon treats for everyone before they nap. I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or just lounge. I don't have any pets (as I have been fostering) or children, and there's very little to nothing that your pet could get into. My house is secured and all the windowns and doors will remain secured while your pet is visiting. My yard has a five and a half foot fence and it's secured all the way around. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. If I'm pet sitting at your location, I will follow the list of do's and don't and will always treat your home with respect.
“Hi Alex! Happy holidays to you! Thank you so much for looking after Jack while we are away. I can see that he is very happy and in good health as always! Our pup loves you and we really appreciate your hard work and dedication.”
About: I had a doggy for 19 years. My senior baby had arthritis and has needed timed medication and care so I am very familiar with the extra love these fur babies need in times of need or missing their parents. I also have over 5+ years of guinea pig care and love experience. I am able to house sit or provide services on the weekends. I work full time from Monday- Thursday. I am available all day Friday - Sunday + Holidays (: I have a small but efficient backyard for small dogs. It has a tree for shade, and I also have a doggy house/blankets in case needed.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, dog walking, playtime, and routine medication support. I also have experience with senior pets, shy cats, anxious dogs, and pets that need a calmer, more patient approach. I understand the importance of following instructions closely, watching for changes in behavior, and keeping owners updated during each visit. For medication care, I can assist with routine owner-directed medication such as pills, liquid medication, eye drops, ear drops, and topical medication. Written instructions are required so I can follow your pet’s normal care routine accurately. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking by appointment. My schedule may vary depending on location and existing bookings, but I do my best to keep visits consistent with your pet’s normal routine. For first-time clients, I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming the booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, medication needs, behavior notes, and home access instructions. For pets with medication needs, please provide clear written instructions in advance, including medication name, dosage, timing, and what to do if your pet refuses the medication. Safety and trust are very important to me. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep dogs leashed during walks, use your preferred walking route when provided, check doors and gates before leaving, and provide clear visit updates with photos. During each visit, I make sure food and water are refreshed, potty or litter box needs are handled, and your pet’s area is left clean and secure. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything that seems unusual, and I will update you right away if I notice a concern. I only provide drop-in visits and dog walking at the pet owner’s home. I do not offer boarding or daycare, so pets remain in their own familiar environment.

I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️
Jessie was amazing with my cat. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with my cat. Even during the meet and greet, my cat warmed up to her right away with no adjustment period at all. By the end, my cat absolutely adored her. Super grateful for the thoughtful care and attention during the drop-in visits.
Chu Hua was absolutely amazing with my kitties!! She clearly has a ton of experience with cats, and asked great questions when she came beforehand to check everything out and get the run down! She came every day, did what was needed, and played with them! Got so many photos and videos too! Will definitely be using her again in the future!!

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.
