“Amber P. provided the most wonderful care for our cat, Prissy. Amber is very communicative and worked with me on the schedule to meet both of our needs. I enjoyed viewing the photos of Prissy and feedback Amber provided. Prissy was happy to see us when we arrived home. Her behavior lets me know that she was taken care of in the most gentle way. I am so very grateful for Amber's care of our cat.”
“Alex was great! She gave updates on how her interaction with my cattos went. She also went above and beyond when l asked if she could return to my home to turn the heat on after her visit had ended meant everything. 🥹 Very quick responses and cared for my cattos as if they were hers. Thank you!”
“Ansley is a great sitter and a kind and sweet person. She has taken care of our pets a few times now and each time she has shown excellent service, flexibility, and respect to us, our pets, and our home. We appreciate her help and continue to look forward to her service to our furbabies.”
“LeeAnna was a Godsend for our family as we just moved to the area 8 days before our scheduled vacation. She was quick to respond to our request. She came over to meet us and our pups before our vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of our pups, and sent pictures and updates at each drop in visit. Her sweet boys also came along to love on our pups which was great since they are used to having our kids around. She even brought our trash out and checked our mail for us. Knowing that LeeAnna was checking in twice a day gave us so much peace of mind. She even gave us weather updates and went back to let our pups inside on stormy days. We cannot say enough about how wonderful LeeAnna was. We will definitely book with her again for future vacations!!”
“Alexis was amazing! We had her do drop in visits for our three pups while we were out of town. She was super friendly and very timely with all of her visits. She took great care of our pups and we were so happy they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely rebook her services in the future!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 16 years old. I have experience caring for many of my mom’s friends’ pets, including staying in their homes and making sure their pets are well taken care of. I usually stay anywhere from 3 to 14 days, depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I currently work part-time at a barber shop while attending college. Even with my busy schedule, I will always make time for your babies and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pets like they are my own! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I also give pets plenty of attention and make sure they get the care they need throughout the day.

About: I have grown up taking care of numerous animals, including inside dogs and hunting dogs, bearded dragons, fish, cats, birds, etc. I also frequently pet sit for friends and family when needed, and have been doing so for years! ❤️ I am currently working part time, usually from 4:30-9:30 throughout the week and on Saturdays (besides Mondays). I am also in school at CSU, but classes are over for the Summer 😊 I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run and play as well as a friendly poodle to keep your babies company (they can be easily separated if needed) !! At clients homes, it varies depending on the client’s request. However, I do love going outside with the dogs as well as being cuddled up watching tv with them☺️
About: Hi! My name is Whitley and I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. Now at nearly 25, I still have a profound love for pets big or small. I have a feisty senior Australian Shepherd with medical issues and two cats. I know how difficult leaving your pet behind can be. Rest assured that when you leave your fur baby with me, they receive the utmost care and are treated like my own. I am currently a part-time student and have a small job working at daycares in the community. With that being said, I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I try to be available for any last minute bookings, including weekends. Due to my senior dog's medical issues, I unfortunately cannot house sit at this time. However, I am available most hours of the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and playtime. I provide plenty of love for your pet, and if your pet is shy, plenty of space. With my high energy australian shepherd, I have become accustomed to long play sessions indoors and outdoors. I provide photo updates and communicate regularly.

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.
