“Madison is terrific! We highly recommend her for anyone in need of excellent care for their furry family members. We have two cats, including a very high-energy kitten who can get herself in trouble with zoomies. Madison was great with her, even rescuing her from the Christmas tree! When we got home, both were chill and happy. That hasn’t always been the case with other sitters. We’re grateful we found Madison!”
“Super kind and very efficient care taker. Even got our skittish cat to come out of hiding. Will definitely use services again from Josie and highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Kristina, a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 9 years of experience caring for animals in general practice, emergency medicine, and beyond. 🐾 I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and needs, including seniors and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. Your pets will be treated like family and cared for with the same compassion and attention I give my own. ❤️ Pet care is my full-time profession, which means your pets receive my dedicated time, attention, and reliability—not just care squeezed in around another job. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I’ve built my career around caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I’m able to provide dependable scheduling, attentive care, and the peace of mind that comes from leaving your pets with an experienced veterinary professional. 🐾 My home is set up with pet safety and supervision in mind. 🏡🐾 I have a gate separating the front and back areas of the house, which helps me safely manage pets and keep a close eye on everyone in my care. I have a small, unfenced yard, so pets are always supervised and leashed while outside. My neighborhood is quiet and safe, making it great for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. I also have crates available when needed or if your pet is most comfortable having their own secure space. There are other pets in my home, so I take introductions and individual personalities seriously. My veterinary background helps me closely monitor behavior, comfort, and interactions to create a safe and positive environment for every pet staying with me. ❤️
“Ms. Lauren seems to be new to Rover, but is destined for top billing in Michiana. She was chosen for the convenience of proximity to our drop-in visit home, and turned out to be as outstanding and conscientious as it's possible to be. We've had four Rover visitors over 4 years and two homes, and we say without hesitation that Lauren is the best. Better snap her up before her schedule fills!”
“Raquel was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring with our cats. She communicated with us very well throughout and sent great photos that gave us total peace of mind. She took excellent care of them, and we truly appreciated the love and attention she gave. We’d happily book with her again! Thank so much for everything Raquel!”
“Mya was great! My cats are somewhat shy but came out for feedings and pets when she did drop ins. She provided pictures and updates each day. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Erilyn watched my two cats for almost 2-weeks while I was overseas! Although my scaredy cats wouldn’t come out to play, she took good care of their needs! We had regular communication and photos. I will definitely use her again, even if the kitties hide 😂 Thanks for scouring the house trying to find them 😂🤣😆”
“Absolutely Fantastic!!!! I can’t say enough about the professionalism, sincerity, and care this father daughter team gave out Jack. He is older and always has issues (separation anxiety). He was so happy and energetic when we got home. Usually takes days for him to recover! Highly Recommend!!! Will be a return customer next time we need a sitter for our buddy.”
“Victoria was very attentive to all of Peaches’ needs, even though Peaches never showed her mouthy, fuzzy face. My home was very respected and was as if we hadn’t been gone. Victoria went above and beyond by even bringing in our mail and packages. The comfort level and communication was stellar.”
“Valeria did great letting my dogs out during the week. She was especially patient with my anxious dog that is scared of strangers. She was very communicative and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Nannette did a great job with my cats! They are very shy but were comfortable with her and came out each time she visited. She was consistent in her visits and sent great pics so I knew all was well. Thank you!”
“Mateo was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I am very anxious leaving my babies alone, especially because I just moved to the area not too long ago, and I absolutely trusted him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! 🥹”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole lives but my aunt loves it when I take care of her dog and says I’m so good with him. I’m not currently working so I will have plenty of time to love on animals while you are away like they are my own animal. I play with them and make sure I’m around them at all times to make sure nothing gets broken or destroyed or they get hurt.
About: Hi my name is Johanzy and I was born into a pet loving family ! A good amount of my childhood included taking care of my cockapoo, Scooby. I am very attentive, driven, and determined. I will make sure that your pets will be in the safest environment possible. I have a very keen eye to watch for any and everything. As a dedicated pet parent to my own cat, Sam, I know firsthand how important it is to find a reliable, loving caregiver when you're away. I take daily pet care seriously—from sticking strictly to feeding schedules to keeping spaces fresh and tidy—and I treat every pet I care for with that same level of attentive, hands-on love. My home is completely cat-proofed and secure, creating a calm, safe sanctuary for your feline friend. During visits to your home, I strictly follow your household security rules, lock up securely, and keep all entry points safe to ensure your pets remains happy, comfortable, and protected in their familiar environment.
“This is the second time we have used Lindsay to do drop-in visits for our cat. We highly recommend using her for all your animal needs! She makes us feel comfortable with her pictures and updates each day. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Emma did an amazing job, taking care of my cats and keeping my home safe while I was out of town. She kept me updated and kept my cats fed and happy. I would definitely rebook with her.”
About: Rya & I just move to Elkhart in October. Allow me to take care of your four legged friend. Your dog will enjoy running and lounging in the open areas. After plenty of fresh air and outdoor exercise he will enjoy a sleepy snooze on one of the many cozy spots that he will find in a quiet home. Take the stress away from leaving your loving pet and let me take care of him while you are away.I like to do a " meet and greet" to see how the dog gets along with me and my own dogs. I do not have a breed preference. Of course I would like to know if the dog has any health concerns or behaviors I should know about, the dog's. My daily routine is wake up let animals outside. Then feed. Then I take care of myself. Relax, go for a long walk with them or run. I am free most days and weeks. I have 30 acres of fence in yard. I have a horse pasture I made it where the dogs can't get out they also have a indoor area where they can relax in shade. And water 24/7.

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.
