About: My family and I have fostered cats and dogs and provided hospice care for a dog with cancer (1 year) until she passed. I understand all breeds and their unique energy needs and activity levels. Medical care and aging limitations would be understood and can be tended to with your pet care needs. I work full time M, T, Th, F, Sa 8am until the deliveries are complete (can range from 2pm to 6pm). When I am not home, there are other family members present (spouse works, dad is retired). In the afternoon and evenings, my children will be attentive to any animals kept at my home. I enjoy connecting with all animals. Our weekends are more hectic with soccer season in full swing. Some weekends we may be elsewhere in Virginia with limited care depending on the weekend, April through June. We have a small fenced in yard with the ability to take your pet out for long, short, or frequent walks. My kids would provide any extra loving and attention while your pet is in my care. I kept a friend's cat for a week. When that week was up, her cat didn't want to leave. Whenever I visit them, the cat finds me to snuggle while I am around. Animals can sense the love and kindness within our family.
“Always wonderful with Fenway and me!!! We will be sad and miss her!! She is a wonderful person and anyone who is books her will be blessed!! Thanks Stephanie ❤️”
“Jessica is amazing. I have used her several times when away and she is consistent and thorough. I was gone during the snowstorm and she (with my neighbor) shoveled the walkway and stayed on schedule seeing the cats. It was so comforting knowing they were taken care of during the storm when I was gone.”
“Exceptional Pet Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and highly responsive. Her communication was perfect throughout the entire stay—she kept me constantly updated, asked great questions to ensure Winnie had everything she needed, and went above and beyond by asking if there was anything else she could help with around the house. The photos she sent on a regular basis brought so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda! Highly recommended!”
About: I have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds, young and mature. I am thrilled to care for the smallest and the largest animals. I have flexible hours and am willing to meet your and your pet's needs. I am also available to support your short or pop-up requests. In your home, I will provide attentive care to ensure your pet or pets are happy, healthy, and secure. I will send videos, and I am available if you want to FaceTime with your pet.
“Katie was very attentive and caring to our two cats while we were away. She made sure they were given attention and love and sent us details on how they were doing as well as adorable photos ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing! So happy to have found Mary, one week before my trip to FL. She gave our two dogs so much love and attention over four days. She will be the first person we reach out to whenever we are looking for someone to walk our dogs in the future. I’d highly recommend her!”
“We've booked Sara four times so far. She is consistently thorough, flexible, and responsive. I have peace of mind during a trip, knowing that Sara is taking care of our pets.”
“Paige dropped in on my dog Jax and everything went great!! She was very friendly and informative! She went above and beyond for Jax while I was gone and I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Paige ????”
“Normally after a long day away I'd come home to hyper dogs and at least one destroyed pillow. Well, they must have had a great time with Holli because all was calm at our house. The photos she sent of the pups were adorable and a great way to let us know she'd gotten in with no issues. Will absolutely be calling her again to play with the pups!”
“Cheyenne was super professional caring and looking after our orange cat Cheeto! She visited him everyday we were out of town and gave us updates on what he’d been up to. She even cleaned up an unexpected mess and left our house in better condition. Cheeto seemed to enjoy her visits and I would definitely hire Cheyenne again for all my future pet-sitting needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“We loved working with Erika! She was kind and gentle with our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Erika came early to learn their routine, including how we prepare their food and where we walk them, and she kept us updated after each drop-in visit. She was a terrific help, and we’re so grateful for the great care she provided!”
About: Hi there! I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 15 years. I have 2 working breed dogs of my own, so I am very adept to a high energy dog! I have a mini poodle as well if that’s more your dogs speed. I work from home so your pet will never be left alone for more than a hour! I provide excellent care to animals of all ages with frequent snack times, potty breaks, and play sessions! I can not wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home full time, but don’t fret. All doggos in this house get lengthy breaks from being inside by going on walks and play sessions throughout the day! I have 3 pups of my own that love to play… or sleep… or just sit outside. Whatever your dog wants to do they’re pretty easy going.
“My cat was very happy to spend time and play with Svetlana during my 3-week vacation. Svetlana visited him daily and managed all of the necessities plus play time with my cat. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her services.”

Rachel is exactly what I always wanted in a pet sitter. She likes cats, she's responsive, and she is dependable. After another great 2026 experience with her dropping in on my cats, I'm confident she'll be the first person I contact next time we need someone we can trust with our furry friends. Thanks so much, Rachel!
Extenuating circumstances left our dog with diarrhea while we were gone :( Erin not only staying in close contact with us, answering our questions about what she saw and requests for pictures to see if he had other symptoms that meant we should get him to the vet for the rest of our vacation, but she took the time to clean the accidents he did have between the 2 daily visits we booked. She went above and beyond in a really "shitty" situation, and we are SO thankful.
We had a fantastic first experience using Rover thanks to Lucy! As first-time users, we were a little nervous about having someone come into our home while we were out of town, but Lucy made the entire process feel easy and reassuring from the start. She responded to our request almost immediately and scheduled a meet & greet within just a few days, which really helped put us at ease. While we were away, Lucy came by daily to take care of our cat, and she did an excellent job. It was clear our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Knowing that Lucy has cats of her own and also works at an animal hospital gave us an extra level of confidence that our pet was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with Lucy again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring pet sitter!
Paige did a great job taking care of the cats. She surprisingly made a connection with them on their first meeting, despite their shyness. She is truly a cat whisperer! Bonus: she got a photo of one of my shyer ones that is my current favorite pic of them. Thank you Paige!
Selby responded to my request within minutes whichwas great because I had to leave immediately for an emergency trip and leave my fur babies behind. She took excellent care of them and even got my 4 feral cats to become friendlier and more receptive to human contact. I had to trust her with my home and my special fur babies without meeting her in person. She came to my home and did her job well and efficiently. She even brought my numerous packages in they were piling up at my door. She can be trusted in your home alone. And she left my cat area cleaner than when I left them. Good job Selby!
Emma was so great! This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and was kind of nervous about it, but she made me so comfortable and she gave me great updates about how my cats were doing. I appreciated the photos and detailed summaries after her visits. She also cat sit over Christmas and was able to do it last minute, so I feel very lucky.

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.
