“Two of my cats have special care needs that make them more complicated than the typical cat, and everything went smoothly! Really appreciated the updates too. Thank you for taking care of my cats!”
About: I have been an animal owner and lover my entire life. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I am to keep your fur babies, happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am practically free in the mornings and anytime after 7 most days. Weekends are also free so call me up for some last minute help! I love my animals and have them around all the time. We take them on walks frequently, let them run outdoors, have plenty of play time and don’t forget snuggles!
About: Hi! I’m Aubrey, a lifelong dog lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pit/staffy mixes and senior dogs. My journey started at 16 with my first dog, Diesel, a pit/lab mix who is now a happy senior. When I moved into my own place, I welcomed Crowley, a staffy/pit mix. Caring for two dogs over the age of 10 has taught me the perfect balance of keeping up with active play, enjoying brisk walks, and providing plenty of cozy cuddle time. What I offer your dog: Bully Breed & Senior Care Experience: Experienced with big dogs, strong pullers, and the gentle patience senior pups need. Active & Affectionate: Plenty of walks, playtime, and lap-snuggles tailored to your dog's energy levels. Attentive & Reliable: Deeply familiar with dietary routines, health needs, and safety. Daily Updates: Clear communication and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! As of right now I’m on disability from work so I have a lot of time during the day! I go to PT once or twice a week, work on schoolwork, walk my own dog typical 2x a day. If I house sit I’d have to come to your home as my dog is not friendly. I can be highly accommodating to your and your pets needs
“We ended up having to go out of town for two weeks, and Grace was more than willing to help us out with the cats! Our cats are pretty independent, but every now and then they decide they actually like humans 😂. We really appreciated Grace stopping by to check on them and making sure they were doing okay while we were gone. We loved getting the photos and little updates from Grace, too! It gave us peace of mind knowing they were being checked on and taken care of. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely have her watch our cats again!”
“I could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Bethany. I had never used Rover before or had anyone other than my sister usually watch my cats. My sister moved out of state so I booked Bethany and she surpassed all expectations. The updates, photos, videos, and messages gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond. I will definitely book with her again.”
“This is the first time I’ve used a pet sitter instead of boarding my cat Cali as I felt she would be more comfortable in her own home. I came across the Rover website and booked a sitter close to my home. My cat has an automatic feeder for dry food as well as a water fountain. So, the only “services” I needed were to feed her wet food in the evening and clean the litter box. I met with my sitter, Amy, and explained how to access my home, where to dispose of litter etc. Amy did an excellent job and even went above and beyond to try and get a photo of Cali, who hides from strangers. Thai has been a great experience and I will definitely use Rover and Amy again.”
“Suzanna continue to be flexible and accommodating. She's also a great communicator. We have booked with her a couple times now. We'll continue to have her take care of our two kitties.”
About: Hi! I’m Taylor. I have been a pet lover my entire life and have had pets in the home since I was a baby. Growing up I watched many neighborhood pets and volunteered at the local animal shelter. As an adult I continued my volunteer work and became a pet foster. I just adopted my first fur baby in December. I am a teacher with summers off and would love to spend my days walking, playing and loving on your fur baby. With summer just a few short weeks away I will have a ton of available time and flexibility. I am happy to work with your schedule to plan what works best for you and your fur baby. I have been around animals since the time I was little. When I care for your pet I will give it all of the love and attention I would give my own. I also have had a range of experiences from working at the animal shelter so I have experience with all sizes of pets and a variety of temperaments.
“Lauren is a top notch pet sitter. We used her again while on a trip to Jamaica. She always post an update and sends pictures of our kitties. Feel very fortunate to have such wonderful sitter for our two kitties. We never worry knowing they are under great care. Linda O.”

I worked at a Vets office for 3 years so I am experienced with all kinds of situations including medication.

“Nina did a great job with my little one. She asked so many questions that I honestly hadn't even given a ton of thought to during her first visit! Seemed like that had a great visit and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Sandy was wonderful with our kitties. She kept them well fed and gave them plenty of snuggles. They appreciated her also keeping their litter boxes clean. She was a breeze to communicate with and sent lots of pics while we were away. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.

This was my first time using Elisabeth and I am very satisfied with her services! She was very attentive and informative in the notes and made me feel calm and at ease when she cared for my fur babies. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others.
One of my three cats needed medical attention during my absence and Payton got her promptly to the vet. Thanks to Payton, the cat's back to her "normal" self. She kept me well informed of what was happening and followed up with feedback from the vet and her own observations. Definitely giving Payton a solid 10, and I am about to book her again for my next trip.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
