“We’ve used Siobhan a few times now to watch our cat. She is always helpful with the house as well as the cat’s direct care. She is very easy to communicate with. We appreciate that she always goes above and beyond.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had my dog for 12 years now who I trained myself and have been the primary care taker for. I’ve also had years of experience taking care of other people’s pets around the neighborhood and also for friends. I’ve had experiencing ranging from one day care to two weeks of care whether it be letting the dog out while the owners are away for the day or visiting a dog multiple times a day for two weeks to feed, walk, and give her love while her owners were on vacation. I currently work from home so i’m able to visit a pet before work and after work and am also able to stop in during the day as long as you’re not too far away from me! I can adapt to what your dog is used to and try to operate in your home the same way that you would by keeping the dog on the same schedule that they’re used to, walking them in a familiar area or letting them out in your yard.
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, providing feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box care, affection, and plenty of attention while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I plan visits around my work schedule and maintain consistent feeding, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable about keeping scheduled visits and communicating with pet parents. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow their usual routines, pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and make sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean space. I treat each home with care and respect and communicate with pet parents so they feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!”

About: Hi my name is Saige, and I’m a college student and have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a senior dog with diabetes who I help care for, including giving his insulin, keeping up with his feeding schedule, and making sure he gets the extra attention he needs as he gets older. I also have two cats and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, and other pets. I’m also an equestrian and have been riding and caring for horses for years, so I’m very comfortable handling animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether your pet is young and energetic, older and needs a little extra care, or just wants lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I’m used to balancing school with caring for my own pets, so pet care is already a normal part of my everyday routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with each owner to find times that fit their pet’s normal schedule and routine. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always try to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you leave for me, whether that includes feeding, walks, medications, playtime, litter boxes, or just spending some time with them and keeping them company. I’m comfortable with pets that need lots of attention and activity as well as those that would rather relax or have their own space. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can check in and know your pet is doing well!

“Jenine was absolutely wonderful. We couldn't ask for a better sitter. Our two female cats loved her and the male cat of the house didn't want to see her go. Jenine is reliable, follows directions and is so full of love for furbabies. She also sends great photos too.”
“Caroline stepped right in as a wonderful help to our Scottish terrier puppy Daisy! My mom in law had needed to cut back on the days she watches Daisy while I am teaching Art. Luckily I found Caroline quickly and her great reviews surely are correct :)! Daisy is already happily warming up to Caroline as Daisy is working on getting used to new people. Caroline already has been working in ways to get Daisy comfortable and calmer :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Farmingdale
I am a senior living with my 5 senior cats. They are my family and their happiness is my happiness. Although I like to travel, I hesitate to ask my son and daughter-in-law to take care of them over and over again while I am out of town. I was planning to visit my other son and his family to see my grandkids in NC. I decided to give a try to drop-in care. After checking all the options, I decided on SARAH based on her background and reviews. What a choice I made; she was excellent, deserving more than 5 stars. First of all, she is an animal lover. My cats have a strong sense if a person likes them or not. They will either come to great that person or totally disappear. Looking at the pictures Sarah provided, they are all around her. Even on her shoulder, hugging. Yes, she sent me plenty of pictures every day, including before and after pictures of their plates, litter boxes, She let me know every detail about their wellbeing even sent me the pictures of throw ups, if she found one. When I was back, I found the house clean and in order. She even took all the garbage out with her. Well, I couldn’t ask anything more from her. I feel very comfortable leaving my cats with her again.
Stephanie once again cared for my four cats -- this time for 10 days. She is so great to work with. Responsive and responsible. She sent pictures daily, spent time giving my curmudgeonly kitties love and play time, and ultimately allowed me to enjoy my vacation without a single worry. She is just a wonderful.
Victoria took care of my fur baby for 10days while I was away. She was responsive, reliable, and very flexible as my travel plans kept changing. Even during a snowstorm, she showed up as scheduled. I really appreciate her clear communication and reliability. Thank you for making my trip stress-free!

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 .

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 , 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.
