“She was great, our dog is always a little skeptical of new people and she was willing to come over ahead of time to meet him and see how he would react. She knew how to approach him and by the end of the first day, he was opening up to her. I would 100% book with her every time we need a dog sitter”
“Samantha is the best. She is so caring to our babies and detail-oriented. Our family is so happy to have found her and plan on utilizing her drop in services as much as she allows us to!”
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Mary as our pet-sitter for the past five years. During that time, Mary has provided drop-in visits during the day and home stays when we’re away. She takes amazing care of our golden retriever and three outdoor cats. Mary is incredibly reliable, flexible with our sometimes last-minute scheduling needs, and has a natural understanding of animals. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our pets (and home) are in such capable hands while we're away. She's not only great with animals—calm, confident, and clearly experienced—but also reliable and easy to work with. We highly recommend her as a pet-sitter.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my cats, sending me plenty of updates, and leaving the cat areas and dishes cleaner than they had been when I left. I can recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Abigail was super great with our two dogs! They are both high energy and can be a lot at times. She was very patient and took excellent care of them, going above and beyond to make sure they had what they needed while we were away.”
About: I will always go above & beyond to care for your pet. You will get updates and pictures whenever they are with me. I have experience in senior care as my girl is a little over 16 I have a pretty flexible schedule with work so can *generally* do most times needed. I am a CrossFit coach and as long as you don't need me during a class, I can stop by and take care/walk your pet =) I follow rules to the T when in other's homes. I cannot watch animals in my home unfortunately. I will send lots of updates to the parents and pictures!
About: I am comfortable and well versed in caring for dogs, cats, and any other pets you may have! I have been a pet owner since childhood and have advanced experience with dogs and cats of all ages! I also have some experience with reptiles, hamsters, and bunnies! I am a proud cat mama x 2 now, Ham and Mo! I strive to lovingly care for your pets, just like you do, to keep routines the same and stress minimal on you and your pets while you’re away! Compassionate, loving, and extra spoiling pet care! I am available for drop in visits Monday through Friday before 8am, and after 4:30pm, with the exception of holidays! I am available for drop in visits at anytime during the weekends. I believe in keeping our furbabies as safe and happy as possible while they’re in our homes. It’s important to keep them fed, watered, plenty of toys, hazards out of sight out of mind, and plenty of outside stretch and sun time! Plus all of the lovings and pets possible!
“Ashley is great! This was our first time leaving our kitten for a short weekend. She was patient and flexible with him, even when he was stubborn about where he wanted to eat. Thank you!”
About: I currently have four cats and two dogs of my own. I truly enjoy caring for both cats and dogs. I love spending time with them, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playing with a playful pup or relaxing with a cuddly cat, I enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they receive the care they deserve. Although I work full time, I am committed to making pet care a priority and fitting it into my daily schedule. I am dependable and organized, and I plan my days carefully to make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and care they need. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for someone’s cats or dogs, and I will always make sure their needs are taken care of. I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I’ll follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I spent a lot of time with pets( mostly dogs) from taking care of close friends pets. With dogs I found better ways to behave them when they were with me, and considering I would take care of them a lot I managed to teach them tricks. I love spending time with animals of any kind. I had a cat when I was 13 and it was tricky because I got Lenny as an adult I would say. I learned how to manage litter boxes and the right food for both cat and dog. I do a lot of research when it comes to food so I know they have the right nutritions and I’m also skeptical when if comes or bagged food, so I do make my Own at times. I own 2 dogs now, one is a puppy and the other about a year and a half old. I’m also trying to save to go into MTC to study as a veterinarian to spend more time with animals. Taking care of pets fits in just perfectly. I currently have a part time job, but doing pet care on the side definitely helps balance my routine out and get some fresh air from working. In both client/my home, since I’m an early bird, I take them on walks to get them moving and give them time to potty, as I do with my dogs as well. I give them water and food, of course this varies on any directions given by the owner. They do get a lot of playtime and treats for good behavior. I make sure to let them potty at least every 2-3 hours out of habit from my pets.

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.
