“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
“Ciara is amazing with my dogs. I've booked with her before and each time she leaves not only my dogs happy and comfy, but she's so receptive to making sure the house is neat also. She's very intuitive and listens well. A regular for my dogs!”
“Brian was a great help while I was getting cancer surgery. Brian gave me peace of mind while I was away that my cats were well looked out for and in good hands. Thanks again Brian!”
“Emily was very efficient and went above and beyond to make sure I had peace of mind while away. I will most definitely be requesting her services the next time I go on vacation!”
About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !
“I am very happy and impressed with Ashley. She took great care of my cat and fish. I really appreciate that she also played with my cat and washed his food dishes. I highly recommend Ashley!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of various sizes and age groups since 2012. Teachers, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and comfort their pets. My new schedule means I have plenty of time for active dog walks and quiet, cozy cat cuddles throughout the day. I work as a part-time intern and have flexible weekdays open, so I can offer consistent, reliable availability for walks and drop-in visits. I love building a routine with pets I care for and treat every visit like it matters I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I follow owners' instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and always leave a clear update after each visit.
“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Beth is wonderful! She’s flexible with her schedule and does an excellent job caring for your fuzzy babies! I greatly appreciate her and the care she provides for my pups!”
“Collette is the most kind, caring, attentive, responsible sitter! Both of our cats loved her. She is incredibly patient and our shy & overly cautious kitty even loved her. :) We will be booking her again!”
“Jonie is a true cat whisperer! She immediately connected with my shy girl—had her eating out of the palm of her hand in no time. Punctual, communicative, and caring. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!"”
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own child. I have successfully trained multiple dogs, including two boxers and a black lab, starting from when they were just 8 weeks old. Additionally, I have experience handling and walking excitable dogs that are similar in size to myself. As I am currently taking online courses and on a break from nursing school, pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule. It allows me to enjoy the outdoors while providing a valuable service to pet owners who need their dogs walked regularly. When caring for the dogs, weather permitting, they have access to a half-acre backyard with partial fencing. I utilize a 360-degree swivel and tie-out stake when I'm not outdoors with them. Inside, they have water bowls and food, and they enjoy free roam of the first floor of the house. They are always kept well-hydrated, and many of the pups enjoy finding shade under the trees and bushes after a long day of play. During snow season, dogs will be kept indoors, with the exception of bathroom breaks and exercise

I would highly recommend Jamie! She recently completed a drop in visit for our dog and cat- during the meet and greet my dog was completely OBSESSED with her and based on the updates I received, his love for Jamie was still strong! Jamie followed instructions and left our home in excellent condition. I would gladly use her services again ☺️
Alexa was an exceptional sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and treated my kitty Mango like her own. I really appreciated her frequent updates, her responsiveness, and the genuine care she showed. It’s such a relief knowing I could count on her while I was away! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! She’s the best!

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.
