“Rebecca did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! She left detailed updates with lots of photos. She was prompt in her responses and completed a last-minute meet-up to meet the dogs before our trip. We really appreciated her help! The dogs were very content when we arrived home.”
About: Like many people here, I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have helped train both family/friends pets with patience or redirecting behavior rather than relying on punishment. I am a treat heavy household so please let me know of any dietary restrictions! As for why I want help take care of your fur babies, iv promised myself to keep my menagerie at a minimum. I would love to incorporate some new fur friends into my daily routine. I'm more that happy to schedule meet and greets to see if I'm a good fir for you and your family! I'm usually free all day Sunday through Wednesday with the occasional errand runs throughout the day. I'm more than willing to work my schedule around your needs. As for Thursday through Saturday, I will be at work in the afternoons and evenings with fur babys being alone for about 7-8 hours (if they are staying with me or need drop by visits) In my home visits: I will provide walks, outside time in the back yard, and dog park excursions (if permitted). I will also incorporate feeding schedules, medication and any other personal requirements that are needed. Communication is key! In your home visits: I will provided walks on each visit (unless otherwise discussed) scheduled feedings and play/snuggle time. I would prefer not to do overnights unless I can bring my dog with me and all pets get along with in your home.
About: I have been dog, cat, and even plant sitting since I was 14. I have over 500 hours of experience working as a veterinary assistant at small animal and exotic animal clinics! I’ve had 12 pets over the years and I currently live just with my cat meatloaf! I am currently job hunting, so I am free all day right now (other than visiting my own cat at home). I am happy to walk/ cycle to take care of your animal! I prioritize building a friendship with your pets, as I believe it helps me to provide the best level of care and trust. I am more than happy to play and/ or give them their space need be. You can be put at ease as I am open to paid cleaning agreements. Finally, it is my privilege to send a billion photos of your pets when I’m with them!
About: 4th year zoology student: I have been caring for pets in homes since I was 15 years old. From 2019-2024 I volunteered with Paws of Central Texas. This included various trainings. I am currently a volunteer at the Reptile and Amphibian Center of the Rockies. I have performed drop in pet care as well as in home pet care for many years. I am a 4th year zoology student on break for summer. I am volunteering at the Reptile and Amphibian Center of the Rockies. My shifts are usually 2-3 hours so I am very flexible to drop in or stay with your pet. I will treat your pet as my own. I will communicate as much as necessary. I am able to give my full attention to your pets!
“Isabella is great. She’s a great communicator, flexible and reliable. Bowie got a little bit of a sinus infection going on and she was willing to help administer his medication during her drop-in. I will definitely book again!”
“Deirdre is great with our miniature schnauzer puppy! They play and go on walks and Pepper loves it! It’s such a relief to be able to leave our puppy for a few hours and have Deirdre stop by for a visit with Pepper. Thanks for taking such great care of our fur baby!”
“Hailey was great! She didn’t hesitate to reach out when I gave her the wrong garage code (whoops), she sent a ton of pictures and videos every day (and included pictures of packages that got delivered and a picture of some throw up from one of my kitties). My cats can be a bit shy and not want to come out around strangers, but they seemed comfortable and social with her. She also brought her own laser pointer to play which was a hit. I get anxious leaving my pets behind, but she really put my mind at ease while we were away :-)”
“Sam was very prompt and asked great questions about Penelope during our meet n greet. We were not worried about our very shy cat while she was in Sam's care. We would book with Sam again.”
“Nell is someone I would highly recommend to care for your furry companion. She took excellent care of my cat Luka while I was away on vacation. She dropped in twice daily to feed, clean Luka's litter boxes, and interact with him. I appreciated her photos that she sent after each visit. Nell definitely has a special talent in interacting with domesticated animals. I would highly recommend Nell to care for your cat or dog while you're away from home. Thank you Nell.”
“Kaya was SOOO amazing with our little senior man!! He can take a bit to warm up to people and she was so patient with him. She was such an attentive, communicative, and timely sitter - I would highly recommend her for drop ins and overnights!”
“Haley did a phenomenal job watching my two pups! She sent plenty of updates, very detailed report card, was responsive and I loved all the photos she took! I’d definitely rebook with her”
“She took great care of my dogs and I really appreciate her coming all the way out to my house in the country to check on them. It helped me a lot! Will definitely use her again when needed!”
“Madeline is a pro! She was great at communicating, here when she promised and took good care of our Spooky. So grateful that we can leave for a day or two and be comfortable that all is well with our older cat!”
“Lacey took such good care of our senior bull dog while we were away from the holidays! She’s very dependable, communicative, professional and will treat your pup like her own.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Collins
Jesse was truly a wonderful cat sitter! We changed around our trip dates multiple times because our baby was sick and she totally rolled with the punches which just allowed us to make the best decision on when to leave for our vacation without worrying about losing our cat sitter too. She also was very kind and left her contact info with a contractor working in our home while we were gone just in case anything came up with the kitty that she should know. Her care of Lucy was truly 20/10, as was her communication! We loved getting so many details and photos and knew that our kitty was in good hands the whole time. Excellent experience overall.
Abigail was INCREDIBLE. She was reliable, responsive, communicative, and flexible. I truly could not have asked for a better sitter for my cats. When I got home, I could tell the cats had been so happy to have her around, and it made every penny feel worth spending. Thank you so much, Abigail! 🫶🏻
Julie was great with our 4 somewhat high maintenance cats! She went out of her way to play with them, spend time with them, sent us photos of each cat from every visit. She had to clean up throw up from our cat that eats too fast sometimes and didn’t have an issue doing so. She reached out to inform us of any issues that came up and asked if she wasn’t certain about something. She also had to make a decision when I didn’t respond in a timely manner and she made a well informed decision with evidently good judgment and understanding of what would be best for our cat. For the first time since getting cats, we felt like we could actually enjoy a vacation without constant worry about the care of our cats. Overall, Julie is very competent, trustworthy, and clearly cares about following instructions properly (even when high maintenance and obsessive lol). Julie will 100% be our go-to sitter for our cats in the future :)
Becca took wonderful care of our cat, Piper, while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease knowing Piper was in such good hands. She kept the litter box clean, made sure Piper had everything she needed, and spent quality time giving her the attention and affection she loves. It was clear that Becca genuinely cared for Piper’s well-being. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her to watch Piper again. Highly recommend Becca to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
She was incredibly thorough, attentive, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent lots of photos and updates every visit, which made it so much easier to relax knowing our cat was happy and well cared for. It was obvious she genuinely cared and took the time to make sure everything was perfect. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
