“Kaitlyn was exceptional and went above and beyond to care for my kitty while I was away. Kaitlyn is very friendly and great with animals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter 😊”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 weeks at a time. I've trained dogs basic skills like sit, down, roll over, turn around, leave it, and sit and stay. I've had many dogs of my own and 2 cats I'm available to watch animals before and after work and I can also attend to them in between 12 and 1 on my lunch break. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I'm early riser. I Love to keep them happy while their owners are away. When I'm caring for animals, I spend time with them I make sure they're well fed and have plenty of water. What makes me happy is having your baby happy while you are away. I love taking them for walks or even going to the park. I do like cuddling. I have no problem with your fur baby sleeping with me at night.
“Eva was amazing with our cat. She was attentive and very communicative which was great for nervous pet parents leaving their cat for the first time. Eva has a wonderful temperament with cats and a calm energy that I think works well for any animal that is shy around new people. I will definitely be booking Eva again for our next trip.”
About: Ever since I was little I had always animals near me whether that be dogs, cats or even farm animals, I knew/know how to take care of them! I love teaching dogs treats, my fav ones are speak and play dead!! I’m currently working part-time as a server, so when I get off around 2/3 I will have plenty of time to run and play or even cuddle with your pets! My attention will always be your pet at times to ensure their safety and well being in my care! I will always message you if I notice something off and even a quick picture of what we’re doing!:)
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since a child. As an adult I’ve fostered several dogs to help find them homes. Big animal lover who likes structure. I don’t let my pets in the kitchen and try to teach them not to beg. I currently have open availability, so plenty of time to help play with your pups and care for them while you’re gone. Whether it just be for a few hours, or overnight. I have a smaller backyard, but it fenced, and available for pets to use. I live close by a gorgeous park, so love heading for walks, & playing catch somewhere nearby.
“Alessandra was great. It was my first time trusting a stranger with my dogs AND to enter my home while I was away--both things that made me very nervous. However, the meet and greet made me feel very comfortable with Alessandra. Her concern for my dogs' safety and well-being felt 100% genuine, and put me at ease instantly. The dogs seemed to sense the good-person vibes too :)”
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: All throughout my childhood we had at least 1 or more dogs in our home. I'm very experienced with their care needs and have just completed my A.S. at mjc minoring in veterinary technology. I'm currently job hunting as I just finished up schooling so I have a lot of free time that I would like to spend with some furry friends. I have four cats so they own the place, I just live there. I have experience with animal handling in both dogs and cats. No issues with putting them in crates or making sure they don't escape. I'm very quick and know how to approach with caution.
“My 2 cats were taken care of with kindness, attention and in a timely manner. I hadn't had to hire a pet sitter before and it was great have the confidence in a sitter so I could enjoy my time away.”
About: I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for dogs, and from a young age, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about their well-being. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and understand the extra attention and patience they require. Additionally, I have some experience training dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding canine behavior and using positive reinforcement. My priority is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and am fully capable of administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to the unique behaviors and preferences of each dog and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. During each visit, I approach every task with calmness, patience, and consistency—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I also ensure your dog’s environment is clean and comfortable, as I believe in creating a space where both you and your dog feel at ease. Since I'm currently taking my college classes online and am looking for a job, I have a flexible and free schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day for your dog. Whether it's taking them for walks, providing playtime, or checking in on thrm regularly, I'm able to accommodate your dog's needs at any time that works best for you! While caring for pets in a client's home I will go the extra mile to ensure safety and security of both the pet and the home. I will give detailed pre-visit communication, making sure to speak about the pets routines, health, and any specific needs. I will also ask about home security details, emergency contacts, and preferences regarding care of the home. I will do safety checks for any potential hazard such as open windows or gates, making sure everything is secure. I will monitor any areas that you'd like off-limits to the pet. I will pay close attention to the pets behavior and their interactions with the environment. I will always lock up after each visit and always be prepared with emergency contact information and knowing where the nearest vet is.

About: I have formal training as a veterinary assistant (6 years) and am currently in school to become a Veterinarian so I do have a lot of hands-on with animals and how to take care of them, administer medication’s, and injections. Currently I am available full time until school starts back up in February. Throughout the week, I am able to drop in on your pet and check in. . I will be updating my schedule every week so that you guys know . I am able to provide frequent potty breaks when I take care of your pets on the weekends that does not go to say that on other days, they won’t get taken out to use the restroom haha. All the pets I’ve had in the past were given the best care from making sure all their needs were met and ensuring they weren’t put in harms way . When I walk my pets I am vigilant of other people and their dogs incase of an incident were to occur . If it is a hot day I ensure to walk them in a cool environment if feasible and always bring water incase the heat is too much . I do pay close attention to detail when it comes to my pets and your pets. I am able to trim nails and to bathe if needed. Of course, making sure water and food is available at all times and cleaning up in the case of an accident.
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have had many dogs with different personalities and preferences. One of my dogs requires special care so I am very patient and understanding! My cat is also the most spoiled guy you will ever meet so trust me I understand all the little important details that these guys and girls need! I work part time and my schedule varies. I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays. I cannot currently board animals at my home due to various reasons. I will be sure to offer that if I can in the future. Thank you.
About: I strive to respect every individual's needs and preferences while also prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Whether they are a dog, cat, reptile, bird, or bug. During overnight stays I ensure pets feel comfortable and content, while also respecting their space and boundaries. Especially for those who prefer to be left alone. Some of my prior experiences with pet sitting involved caring for four senior dogs and a kitten. I made sure they received meticulous care. Some of my tasks included administering medications and providing engaging activities. My devotion to animals of all kinds sets me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. Being unemployed allows me to prioritize pet care, ensuring reliable and attentive service tailored to your pets needs. I am committed to giving the best possible care for your pets! In both my home and my clients home, I dedicate myself to making sure that every pet is content and comfortable. During my overnight stays, I prioritize the pets safety and well-being by following their feeding schedules, administer medication as needed, and offer constant supervision.
About: Growing up with many types of pets, I know how important our little animals are to us! If you entrust me with your pet I promise to love them as my own and return them to you happy and healthy :) I’m currently coaching for a boys club team which is only a few hours out of the week. This leaves me with plenty of time to invest into your pets! I’ve experienced many different pets and many different stages. I know the struggles of potty training and the long nights of barks or meows! I am ready for whatever your pets need:)
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small. My background working in senior care and being a big sister to two younger siblings has given me a natural instinct for patience, attention to detail, and safety. Whether your furry family member needs gentle company, active play, or meticulous daily care, you can rest easy knowing they are in gentle, experienced hands! I’m available mornings 7:30am until 10:30am and late afternoon/nights 7:30pm-10:00pm and all day Tuesday/Wednesday , we can work on your time ! I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Empire
Leslie is truly phenomenal. She goes far beyond basic house sitting, and the cats absolutely adore her. She keeps me updated on everything happening at the house, from dealing with ants to bringing in the garbage cans. The best part is her daily updates with commentary and photos, which I genuinely look forward to every morning.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
