“Great sitter. Flexible with meet and greet. Sent a photo of our cat every day. Even helped reset our robot vacuum while away! Came home to a healthy kitty. Very pleased.”
“Hannah is a rock-star cat caregiver! Hannah has been instrumental in helping my grandmother care for her aging kitties through nail clipping and other grooming. We live out of state but we have had no problems coordinating my grandmother's cats' care with Hannah. For example, when Hannah was clipping the cats' nails, Hannah noticed that the fragile, senior kitty needed help with bathing. Hannah kindly brought this to our attention. Hannah helped us understand the plan for the bath and patiently answered all our myriad of questions about the proper way to bathe a fragile, old cat. My grandmother reports that Hannah was able to bathe the fragile, old kitty exquisitely and that the cat was even purring through much of the process. As a bonus, my grandmother enjoyed Hannah's company as well. Another example of Hannah's expertise, Hannah managed to clip the nails of my grandmother's other kitty despite the fact that she tends to flee from or scratch strangers. What a champion!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. I have the biggest and softest heart towards all kinds and sizes of dogs! I’ve dog sat for multiple family members and friends. After taking a few vet classes and shadowing at some vet clinics, I’m fairly familiar with a dogs different behaviors and needs. I love every one like my own! I typically work 6am-noon every weekday as a barista. This can be super flexible. I’m available to care for pets in the late afternoons, evenings and during the weekends. I cannot get enough of being around them! So caring for dogs is the perfect way for me to make some money to help pay off student debt! I recently adopted my baby boy Max and we’re working on socializing. Bringing him along on walks, long stays and car rides would help tremendously with that.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.
About: I have had animals my entire life, however I am only counting my adult years of caring for animals on my profile. I have a certificate from training our independent husky/shepherd mix both with an E-collar and without. This same dog is also now a senior with greater care needs so my attention to small details and his body language contribute to his quality of care. I bring that same level of care and attention to all animals that spend any time under my care. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and working to gain their trust and mutual respect. It is my goal to provide peace of mind to owners when they are away from their animals. I am available during most of the morning from Monday through Thursday. I am interested in being a regular drop-in caretaker or dog walker to build rapport with the animals and make them feel less stressed about transitions. Depending on the schedule, I am open to doing some weekend drop in visits or dog walks. I am happy to work with your animals' regular routine whether that means they are crate trained, have a special routine, need specific commands to understand, or if they have specific requirements for care, such as the need to be fed separately from other animals or the need for topical/pill medications. I am happy to work with your animals if they need basic training or training-reinforcements during visits.
“Ireland is so sweet and so great with my elderly kitty! My cat is 21 years old and requires ample love and attention, and Ireland was so helpful keeping her company while I was on a camping trip. Definitely a true animal lover!”
About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.
“Atlas was great! We needed someone to spend quality time with our kitties while we were away for 10 days and she took excellent care of the cats and our home. Her communication and pics allowed us to not worry and truly enjoy our trip. We will be using Atlas for future trips for sure!”
“Britany takes such great care of our two cats. She spends quality time with them and communicates as needed. We will continue to use Britany every time we travel. Thank you Britany!!!!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppyhood to senior years! Since age 9, I have been able to be graced with having cats and now have one of my very own who gets whatever she wants. I love pets more than anything and would be honored to take care of yours just as I do mine. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and am looking to add caring for animals into my time off through drop ins and walking! I am an avid explorer so I tend to walk several miles throughout my week and more on the weekends! I would love to drop in and see your pet to ease your worries about leaving them for work! I ensure the utmost care for my pets in my home and in others that I have cared for. I do this by having a watchful eye on them, engage them in enrichment of their choice, and love on them!

About: Years of animal care with dogs and cats. Im an animal lover and will make sure your baby is taken care of. I have a soft spot for seniors of all kinds and experience with animals that require special needs! I am working on building my career, which makes my schedule super flexible! Such a open schedule means that I can take care of your fur-baby at times that are best for you and most convenient for your life. Unfortunately I can not offer boarding in my own home, although I do offer dog walking, drop ins or house sitting services. I pledge to treat your home and little one as if they were my own! I understand the importance of a schedule and a safe environment.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.
About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.
About: I have been pet sitting for my local community for about 4 years. I also volunteer at an organization that raises and trains service dogs, and had a full time foster this past year. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life! Having a foster this past year, I quickly adjusted to making each day around the pup, incorporating his needs into my daily life and ensuring he was happy and healthy! In my home and the clients home, the pets needs come first. If there is a rule to follow or question to ask, I communicate directly to the owner to ensure proper care of their furry friend.
“Lisa did a great job! After meeting Lisa, I felt secure leaving our cat KC in good hands. Communication was excellent. She even made sure we made it home okay and all was good. I will be using Lisa's services again soon!”
“Peanut was a life saver. We have just had the most chaotic and stressful move ever. He took care of our gems for a month instead of the original week. We were so grateful to not have to keep moving them around. Flash has separation anxiety and Gremlin lost his only known "mom" cat in Nov.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fairborn
Erin, as always, went above and beyond. A foot of snow did not stop her, even when our roads didn’t get fully plowed and our snow removal service took extra days to get to our house. All this on top of the fact that all 4 cats took to her right away (unprecedented). Can’t think of anything that could have gone better.

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.
