“Katilyn was absolutely wonderful with our Millie girl! Our door was acting up and wouldn’t unlock, but Katilyn remained so professional, communicative, and kind throughout the whole situation. She even stayed longer than she needed to so she could check in on Millie and spend some extra time with her. We are so grateful for the care she showed our pup and for going above and beyond to put our minds at ease. We would absolutely recommend Katilyn and will definitely be using her again!”
“Dixie was great! She played frisbee with my obsessive yorkie each time she visited. She also sent me lots of pictures each time she visited. Will definitely book again!”
“Savanna is amazing! We have 4 animals and she met with us before our trip to give us peace of mind and she worked with us when our flights got changed and we needed to come back at a different time. All the while she sent pictures and updates of our animals. I highly recommend her!”
About: Every dog I meet is my new best friend, and I truly mean that! Whether I’m out for a walk, at a gathering, or preparing to care for a pup, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets, including a beagle, two Great Danes, and several collies. I’ve also pet-sat for friends with golden retrievers, huskies, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, a long walk, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away! I am a freelance musician and teacher in the Colorado Springs area. My flexible hours allow me to focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m also available at all times of the day, though my schedule varies from week to week—feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to work out a time that fits your needs! I understand how important routine is for pets, and I am dedicated to keeping them on a schedule that feels familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime, I do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and ensures your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute with high honors as a Veterinary Assistant. I have hands-on experience working in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescues, caring for pets of all ages and needs. I'm passionate about providing safe, reliable, and loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind when they're away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home most of the time and able to provide consistent supervision and care for pets. My goal is to provide reliable, dependable care and maintain open communication with pet owners so they always feel confident their pets are being well cared for. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During each visit, I ensure pets have fresh water, meals as instructed, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow each pet owner's care instructions, including medication schedules, feeding requirements, and any special needs. Safety is my top priority. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, monitor pets for signs of illness or distress, and provide updates to owners during their time away. I treat every home with respect and strive to create a trustworthy, stress-free experience for both pets and their families.
“Hannah was amazing and took great care of our girl. Dixie is skeptical of strangers but it did not take long for her to warm up to Hannah. It snowed while we were away and Hannah wiped Dixie’s paws so our floors weren’t a mess. She even offered to vacuum Dixie’s hair from all the shedding she’s doing. Hannah was thoughtful and went above and beyond what I asked of her. If you are looking for someone who is reliable and who would take care of your fur baby like their own, Hannah is your person! I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve loved taking care of friends and families animals since I was a child, and have always felt honored when entrusted to do so. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats in pill form and also eye drop medication, some minor experience in training dogs (would just need clarification on their command words), love giving them all the cuddles and scritches and pets they want, and helping them get out those zoomies! Whether your need is drop in check ins for food replenishment and company, outings like walks or dogs parks, or transportation to appointments, I can do it all! Dependable animal care is so important to be able to relax on vacation or to focus when taking care of important business, and I hope you choose me to make it easier for both you and your furry friends!! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time dedicated to your pets! My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to work with you for the times that suit you best! I know the importance of keeping a close eye on pets and keeping them on leash unless in the dedicated areas of the home and a fenced in yard! I will also have a plan of care in place in case of emergencies, with location on carriers and crates, and the emergency vet clinic of your choice! Your babies will be safe and cared for with me, and this plan ensures that I can get them emergency care should a medical emergency happen!
“Kessandra was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dogs. There was significant snowfall while we were out of town and Kessandra was able to still reach our home and care for the dogs. Highly recommend her.”
“I am definitely a worry wort cat mom and Michelle was the first person I really felt comfortable with having check on our cat Taco. From the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with her and she did an amazing job checking in on him during drop in visits. I couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our pet and will absolutely book Michelle for any future car sitting needs. 10 out of 10 Can't say enough good things!”
“Riley was a very communicative and excellent sitter for my senior cat. She always sent pictures from her visits and did a wonderful job caring for my cat as well as keeping her engaged with brushing and play. I really appreciated her promptness with communication over the rover app. Would definitely recommend Riley’s care!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised around dogs and have always had a special love for animals, including the many cats who have been part of my life over the years. My experience goes beyond simply loving pets. As a teenager, I worked in a grooming environment, and later worked within multiple animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’ve also raised my own three dogs from puppies, giving me plenty of experience with everything from puppy antics to the unique needs of adult dogs. I’m also certified in dog training knowledge and behavior, so I understand that every dog is different and deserves care that fits their individual personality and comfort level. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. They’re family, and finding someone you genuinely trust with them is a big deal. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for in their own routine. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needing some patience, or happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you—and they—can count on! I am a stay a home mom, so I am pretty much available whenever you need. Just give me a few hours notice if possible! I have a fenced in yard and pet crates if needed. I am a helicopter mom to my own personal dogs to ensure they do not get into mischief, and I am extra careful with other dogs as well.
“Cami did a great job taking care of our two Soft Coated Wheatens while we were on vacation. She’s an excellent communicator, punctual, and truly cared for their well being. We recommend her to the Rover community and will definitely hire her to watch our fur babies again.”
About: I am a pet parent of an 8 year old Boston Terrier, a re-homed Chihuahua, a 3 years old kitty and a new kitten. Previously I raised three other Boston Terriers from puppyhood until each of their passing and a cat with FIV. I am experienced with puppies & kittens, adult dogs & cats, and senior pets as well as pets with illnesses. I have had kitty training as well as dog handling training through the Denver Dumb Friends League. I believe pets are family members and are to be treated with love and respect. Wheather your pet is at my house or I am at yours, you'll never have to worry about their well-being and will always know your pet is safe. This is my promise to you!
About: Hi, I'm Heather! I absolutely love animals of all kinds! I currently have three dogs of my own, and if my husband would let me, I’d probably have a whole house full of them. 😂 My current pups are all Boston Terriers, but I’ve had experience with many different breeds over the years, including a Mastiff/Pit Bull mix, Husky/German Shepherd mix, Border Collie, and Blue Heelers. I love that every dog has their own unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. I have experience caring for both young, energetic dogs and seniors who need a little extra help. I’m comfortable giving medications, changing diapers, and helping older dogs with mobility issues—including helping them get outside safely for bathroom breaks. I already regularly watch my dad’s and friends’ dogs when they go out of town because they know I’ll treat their pets like they’re part of my own family. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re getting lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or someone to stay with them while you’re out of town, I’d love to help. ❤️ I promise to love your pets like they’re my own! 🐶🐾 I’m currently working on phasing out of a full time position but I work a split shift so I either get off at 5 or go in at noon. Soon I will be available around the clock. I have a fully fenced front and back yard and my house has a doggy door so they can always access the outside for a potty break. My house is my dogs house. They can be on the couch or bed I have no issues w them doing whatever to be comfortable.
“Leah is a wonderful pet sitter- Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our cats! We even had an incident with one of them but Leah handled it with grace, love and compassion towards our animals. We recommend Leah!”
About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask. I have a dog and cat of my own, your pup will be treated like they are part of the family. The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.

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.
