“Kirsten was amazing! She took great care of my three cats while I was gone for 3.5 weeks. She made sure to send me photos and videos every day, and it was clear in those videos how much the cats adored her! I would absolutely re-hire her to take care of my cats in the future.”

“Gwen was an incredible pet sitter! We left our cat and kitten in her care for a 2 week overseas trip, and when we returned the two of them were so happy and relaxed. She carefully followed all our tips and requests regarding litter & food, and worked seamlessly with the general quirks of our older famhouse-style building (like windows being left open/closed, making sure the cats didn't escape via the front door etc). She also sent us adorable updates about each of the cats every day of our trip, including photos, which were very comforting and cute to receive when we were so far away. We will definitely reach out to Gwen to pet sit again :D”

She made sure to ask me lots of questions so that she could make my cat as comfortable as possible, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book with Ariana again.”

About: Hello! Growing up my family always had dogs and my favorite thing to do is brush them. I’ve been dog sitting consistently since high school. I have experience with large reactive dogs, so whether you have an angel or a problem child Ive got plenty of love and patience for them:) I have one kitty at home and no dogs. I tried walking the cat but she’s determined to stay indoors so here I am! I’m happily self employed! That means my schedule can be whatever it needs to be. No time is off limits. But I do have a special place in my heart for morning walks because they start my day on the right foot. I will follow your instructions to a T! Nobody knows your pet better than you do, so to keep them happy and safe I will defer to your instructions.

About: For the past 10 years, I've cared for my own pets as well as friends' dogs, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of needs. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, administering medication, and managing high-energy puppies, along with dogs of every size. I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I'd give my own! Hi! My name is Elena. I am an undergraduate student at SUNY Cortland studying environmental geoscience. I am currently finalizing my fall schedule and once it’s done, I will update my calendar :) I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I'm comfortable with both species' needs and routines. When caring for clients' pets, I always follow their specific instructions including feeding times, leash habits, crate routines, medications, and any other house rules. Safety and consistency for the pet always come first! :)

About: *Now available for work starting August 2026! Hello there, I'm Rowan! New to Rover, not to animal care- I'm an artist and animator who takes care of animals on the side. I grew up with a flurry of different pets when I was younger which later led me to attain a lot of experience with all types of critters. Previously I studied animal science and also have experience working at a dog daycare/boarding facility in the past. I work with cats, rodents, and other small animals including fish and reptiles! Animal care comes naturally to me and those who know me have commented on my patience and perception to behavior and social signals from all different types of creatures. I am quick to answer texts and questions and have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm working part-time and freelance at the moment, so I have ample time in the week to tend to clients. Look to my current listed schedule for up-to-date details. Cats: I can feed, give medication, and play with them if they're amiable to it. For safety reasons I will not let any cat outside unless you have a trusted, closed in "catio" or the like. Caged small animals: I can feed (legal live food is fine), give medication, clean up enclosures (no deep cleans), and take them out of the cage to play safely. Pets' needs will vary wildly depending on the type of pet you have, so we will work together to figure out what your pet will need while you're away.

“Jenna was fantastic with our cat Astro! She kept us updated with photos and videos. Astro looked so relaxed and comfortable with her. I can tell he really adores her. In addition to playing and being a great companion for Astro, Jenna cleaned the litter, made sure there’s food in the automatic feeder and filled the water bowl as needed. We were so appreciative when we came back to a clean home after Jenna had vacuumed around the litter box and scratch box area. We are so pleased with Jenna that we plan to have her take care of Astro again in a few weeks!”

Gwen is wonderful! It was such a relief to know our cat was in excellent hands while we were out of town for a few days, especially because he receives medication three times daily. Gwen also takes the best pictures and it helped us know everything was going smoothly with these cute updates from each visit.

My cats are super shy and I figured there was no way they would come out for Kirsten when she dropped in to feed them, but by the second visit she was literally feeding them from her hand! First time using a pet sitter and could not have been happier!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
