“Erica and Christopher were amazing and extremely professional! My usual sitter had cancelled on me last minute and they were able to fill in for them. They made sure to feed my kitties the correct diets and gave them some playtime, and it was almost like no one had ever left home! I highly recommend their services”

“We connected with Dorian for the first time recently, and are delighted to report that everything worked out well. Dorian stayed at our house for a week while taking care of our 2 kitties. He met both cats prior to our trip, and they (the cats) approved. All indications are that he was able to make friends with them despite the fact that they have been leary of strangers. They enjoy a catdoor, which they use extensively, and he was here for them even when they weren't around. Communiation with Dorian was strong and the house was left in very good condition Although our cats were very happy to have us back, they didn't appear to be stressed, as opposed to their reaction to some other sitters we have had. We will definitely contact Dorian again when the occasion arises. Hopefully he'll still be available.”
About: I really care about animals and making sure their needs are being met. Also, enjoy spending time and meeting new animals and take the time to learn about them. I am a full time college student looking to gain extra money on the side while also spending time with other new animals around the town. I have three dogs at home and a cat and enjoy spending time with them and playing with them. I feed my own animals regularly and make sure they are in a safe environment.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them when I was just a kid. Over the years, I’ve become the person friends, family, and neighbors trust to look after their pets. Whether it’s walking energetic puppies, feeding senior dogs, or comforting anxious rescues, I always show up with patience and care. I also work with dogs and cats in my current job, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of needs and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and a focus on making them feel safe and happy. I work part time so I have a pretty flexible schedule currently! I’m able to do walks, check ins, or extended stays for the more anxious pets. I don’t care for pets in my own home, but when I’m in someone else’s, I treat it like my own and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I have two cats who are spoiled in the best way—they get time outside, lots of love, and all the attention they need. That same care carries over into how I treat every animal I look after. I’ll always follow your routine and make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease while you’re away.
About: I love animals! I am able to walk far distances and care for specific needs. I have a cat of my own and can drive to your house. I am currently working as a barista downtown and own a car. I am able to drive to your location no matter the day and feed/ care for your animal. I am not able to house pets at my own house but feel absolutely fine going to your location. I am able to spend overnights there as well.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely love both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, giving belly rubs, or spending quiet time cuddling on the couch, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to senior cats who just want companionship, I enjoy caring for them all as if they were my own. I work a full-time job, but my hours very sometimes only four days a week sometimes five days a week I’m available to stay the night and home so that your animals feel loved and cared for I’m typically off by 5 PM and I love to go outside so would be super interested and bringing your dogs on walks or the dog parks or even just playing with them in the backyard I wake up early enough to play with your pets. Feed them make sure they go potty outside and I’m also available to go and check on them in the middle of the day on my lunch and then I would stay for dinner time and throughout the night playing with your pets taking them outside going and doing activities.

Lexi is great at communication and my pets really enjoyed the quality time with her while we were on vacation. We received photos from each visit and our cat and dog loved having her come by and just spend time with them daily helped so much while we were gone.

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 .
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 .
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 , 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.
