“Aliyah took such great care of Pebbles! She had great communication, was punctual, and even called me every day so I could talk to Pebbles on the phone. It was my first time being away from my fur baby since I adopted her so I was a bit worried about how she would react. Aliyah took such great care of her for me which relieved my anxiety and Pebbles’ anxiety too! I am so grateful.”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
“Amanda was heaven sent! I requested last minute care for my cat Cashmere, and she delivered. She's great with communication and a joy to work with. Cashmere was happy, and so was I.”

“Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!”
“Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!”

About: I’ve worked many professional jobs that have allowed me the opportunity to work with cats and dogs from all ranges of breeds and ages. I have my own dog as well as 5 household cats! I love the joy pets bring into our lives and I enjoy caring for them. I’m flexible with most schedules and can incorporate them into my schedule. As long as I know of any changes ahead of time, I will always try my best to meet your needs. I respect others’ homes with the upmost regard and strictly follow instructions given i.e., “walk dog, ensure they have clean water, feed kibble” etc. Any specifics can be discussed and mutually agreed upon.
About: I lived with and took care of my sisters 2 dogs (1 husky puppy and 1 adult husky/german mix). I then moved to Austin and wanted to continue having dogs in my life, so started up a Rover account! I continued sitting through Rover during my two years as a Masters Student at Georgetown, and am glad to be able to continue sitting after graduating! I just graduated from my Masters program, so am very available as I continue to job hunt! My weekends are very busy due to weddings out-of-state, but during the weekdays I am available! Before confirming on a booking I go through an extensive list of questions regarding anything from leash reactiveness and appropriate ways to approach your dog, to walk routes that are familiar and comfortable for your dog. I always want to ensure my sitting periods are as stress-free and “normal” as I can make them.
“Elizabeth took great care of my cats. She fed and cleaned litter boxes daily. According to the cats, she gave out treats and pets as they demanded. I definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”
About: I always loved pets growing up and would cat sit for friends nearby. I was living with my sister when we got a German Shephard puppy. I lived with her until she was 2.5 years old. So I have a lot of experience with high- energy intelligent dogs. I know quite a bit of training but don’t have any formal certifications. Love visiting with her and friends pets as well,❤️ Thank you for considering me! I am working full time (M-F 9-5) but am a morning person so I'm happy to stop by before work or in the evening. My weekends are also open. I will care for your home and pets like my own and leave it better than I found it. I also am excited to find new parks or trails to walk depending on what is near your home.
About: I am a big advocate for animals especially around the subject that animals are family. I view the pets in my life as my family. I will treat your pet as if they were a part of my family and shower them with love! I currently work full time but I work a hybrid schedule during the week and I am in school for my masters. This will not impact my care for your pets I have a 5 year old cat and she has all of the toys she needs and I can get toys for animals I sit as well.
“Kriss was amazing with my 12 year old feline, Catalina, She was well cared for while I was away on a business trip I highly recommend using Kriss again for drop in visits.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Friendly
I’m so grateful I found Melissa on Rover! My original sitter ended up going out of town, so I needed someone to take care of Iggy while I was away. She was incredibly helpful and made the whole process so easy, especially as someone who is new to Rover! She was amazing about sending pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Iggy is normally super shy and loves to hide, but he was SO happy and welcoming with Melissa, which made me feel even better knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive 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 .
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 .

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.
