“Nicolle was incredibly friendly and took the best care of my kitties! I’ve boarded my cats at the kennel before but they had an awful time, I was nervous to let a “stranger” into their space, but it was much more stress-free for them! Nicolle is quick to respond and asks great questions to make sure all of your pets’ needs are met. She also updated after every visit with fun notes and pictures of my girls! I will definitely be booking again! :)”
“Amy is wonderful !! This was my first time using this service . My dog is a 15-year-old Chihuahua and i was very nervous that my dog would be scared, but Amy was wonderful with her. There is nothing like peace of mind while you were on a trip, knowing that your animal is being well taken care of . She also kept me updated with pictures and texts of my dog. I will absolutely be calling on Amy in the future!!”
“Glen did an excellent job taking care of Coco. He gave her a walk, made lunch and all the required water and bathroom breaks. We will leave coco again under the excellent care of Glen.”

“Bonnie is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of my little puppy that I needed to be checked on since he’s so small. And my other two dogs loved her as well! Highly recommend 😊”
About: As a devoted dog mom to Milo, my pup I raised and trained from puppyhood, I know exactly what dogs need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have hands-on experience teaching dogs essential commands, including leash walking, leave it, and stay, building the good habits and confidence every dog needs. I also have real experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, helping them feel calm, secure, and comfortable when their favorite human isn't around. Beyond my own dog, I have experience caring for and training friends' and family's adult dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take time to learn your dog's personality, routine, and preferences before every visit. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, playtime, or just calm companionship, I give every dog the same patience, consistency, and love I give Milo every single day. Pet care fits naturally and consistently into my daily routine. I am available every morning starting at 6:30 AM for early walks, drop-ins, and check-ins — perfect for pets who need care before their owners head to work. I continue availability through 4:30 PM, covering midday walks, afternoon drop-ins, and extended care throughout the day. I also offer evening availability from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM for end-of-day walks, feeding check-ins, and bedtime drop-ins. Your pet will always receive timely, reliable care on a consistent daily schedule — no last-minute scrambling or uncertainty. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I always respect your home and your pet's space. During walks, I keep your dog safely on leash at all times and wipe down their paws and bottom before re-entering your home — keeping your floors and furniture clean and fresh. For cat drop-in visits, I make sure your cat is fed according to your exact instructions, clean the litter box thoroughly including the surrounding area, and ensure the space is left tidy and exactly as I found it. I stay within the areas of your home you designate — your space and privacy are always respected. I follow your instructions carefully every single visit, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, clean, and well cared for."
“We were very happy with Sandra taking care of our pet. She was a perfect, kind and efficient pet sitter. I highly recommend Sandra. While away from our fur baby, we felt very comfortable knowing he was being lovingly cared for by Sandra.”
“Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.”
“Could not have asked for a better first time experience with Erin. Super communicative. Was willing to adjust to changing pet care instructions and visitation schedules. And reasonable value for what we needed (bearded dragon care). All in all, I would highly recommend Erin and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for around 8 years. My experience includes tasks such as, walking, feeding, playing, and even administering insulin shots for various cats. Friends and family have trusted and relied on me to keep their pets safe, happy, and healthy while away. Currently I do not have any other employments, so all my time will be devoted to caring for your pets! This allows me schedule to be extremely flexible to fit your pet's needs. I have 1/4th an acre of fenced in yard with plenty of toys and my own dog (Libby, a Saint Bernard) to keep your dog company and entertained. Your pets would have full access to upstairs, entry, and basement levels.
“Absolutely thrilled with Katies care for my cats. She spent extra time then expected, she went above and beyond doing things she didn’t even need to, she took the best pictures of my pets and her comments she left about the visit was well thought out and gave me a good chuckle. I have used several other Rover sitters and she is my favorite! I highly recommend her!”
“I cannot express how wonderful it is to have Heather watch our 4 boys while we are away. She is easy to communicate with and takes great photos of our boys. I love that we have someone we can trust check in on them. 100 % will book her again and would recommend her to anyone !”
About: I’ve pet been a pet sitter, babysitter, and dog walker while growing up for numerous years. I have grown up with animals all my life and have helped raised them from a puppy to a senior dog. Now I would love to do you the favor of watching yours. I am currently looking for a job for the summer but I also love animals and want to spend time with them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Valley
Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!

Sarah is absolutely the best pet sitter there is. She is reliable, very caring and extremely responsible in taking care of my cat. She goes out of her way to spend extra time with your pet, as well as taking care of the normal tasks of checking their food, water, etc. Once you have her as your pet sitter, you won't want anyone else, trust me!
Nina did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats and fish. Both of our cats are on medications with one getting daily injections, and she handled those with no issues. She also looked after my fish, in a high tech aquarium, providing daily video clips so I could monitor things while away. We definitely recommend Nina and will use her again.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
