“Makayla has been really helpful and understanding with Mili. We had to hire her for mid day visits during the time I had to be away from the country for more than two months. Mili wasn’t coping very well with it as she was being left alone in the house for prolonged hours! Makayla managed her energy and took care of her during her visits and was very understanding and flexible with everything. She once had to deal with the mess caused my mili tearing up a stuffed toy. She picked it all up and let us know that one part of the toy was missing which helped us take action on time and make sure my pup was safe. I really appreciate her being proactive in difficult situations and would definitely trust her and recommend her.”
About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring medication and extra attention. My approach is always patient, dependable, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality. With a background in psychology, I understand the importance of reading behavior, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I know how important consistency is when caring for someone’s best friend. What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I treat every dog as if they were my own, follow their routine closely, and always go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. Along the way, you’ll receive thoughtful updates, beautiful high-quality photos and videos, and the peace of mind of knowing your pup is in caring, dependable hands 🐾

Leo took wonderful care of Socrates while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. When I came home, Socrates looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leo was kind, reliable, and clearly gave him lots of attention and care. I truly appreciated the updates and pictures received and would absolutely trust Leo to watch Socrates again. Highly recommend! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do so without hesitation.
Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.
Nicke has been great taking care of our three kitties and our home. He has been incredibly reliable and responsible, left the home clean and tidy, and the three cats loved him and felt comfortable with him right away. Cannot recommend Nick enough and will definitely work with him again soon!
Michelle is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and my fur babies could not have been taken better care of. She's very responsive, took the time to get my one sick baby to eat when he was NOT into it, and she sent me frame worthy pictures daily. Michelle, you're a freaking ROCK STAR 😻
Jennifer was amazing! She was able to help out last minute when my plans fell through. She was professional, prompt, and sent me many photo and video updates of my cat to make me feel at ease. I returned home to a clean apartment and a very happy kitty. I will definitely book with Jennifer again!
Jen was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my cats, kept me consistently informed, and sent plenty of photos that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% book with Jen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
