“Great sitter for our cat Harley. Felt like she knew Harley after just the meet and greet. Regan took special care to make Harley feel comfortable with her and brought his food to him when he was feeling anxious about her arrival on the first day. Will be rebooking Regan if we need another sitter.”

“10/10 Will recommend Anikka to anyone who needs pet sitting! She takes special care and consideration for your pet and will make sure she treats them as her own. She will go above and beyond, making sure they are well taken care of but that their behavioral needs are also met. My cat is very social and Anikka made sure to spend a lot of quality time with her. The pictures were great too! You can tell Anikka also has an animal care and behavior background, as she really understands your pet’s needs while you are gone. She’s great and everyone should hire her!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have always had a genuine love for pets. Over the years, I’ve helped care for a variety of animals, including cats, ferrets, and dogs through pet sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family friends. I also have a 9 year old Border Collie/Lab mix of my own, who I’ve cared for and grown up with. Pet care is something I do on the side because I truly enjoy being around animals and building bonds with them. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Since caring for animals is something I genuinely love, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m open and adaptable to different pet care needs and always happy to help however I can! House sitting and overnight stays are available on a case by case basis depending on each pet’s needs, routine, and care requirements. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care while making sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by being patient and understanding with their individual personalities and needs. With my own dog and other pets I’ve cared for, I’ve learned that building trust takes time, so I never force interaction. I let pets come to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Creating a calm, loving, and stress free atmosphere is always my priority.

About: At a young age of 5, I grew up loving and caring for a German Shepherd. Now, I have 3 dogs of my own. Outside of my dogs at home, I work at a Doggy Daycare. I am responsible for feeding, loving, entertaining, and sometimes bathing dogs. I am currently working part-time at a Doggy Daycare will being a student at Ohio State. I am able to take care of the dogs in my time between both. If your dog is able, I can also take them to work with me. At my home, two of my three dogs are able to go out in the yard unleashed, the other on a lead. For your dogs, I am able to walk them daily if needed, I can also crate them if necessary. I can do anything needed for your dog to be happy.

About: Hi! I'm Abby, a registered nurse who knows how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet family member. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I'm committed to providing attentive, compassionate care. I've cared for animals my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medications, burning off energy with play, or offering extra patience to shy or anxious pets. My nursing background has strengthened my attention to detail, communication, and ability to stay calm in unexpected situations. I work three 12-hour overnight shifts each week as a registered nurse, which gives me several full days off for pet care. My work schedule is set in advance, so I always know my availability and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. As a cat owner myself, caring for my pet is part of my daily routine. Before every shift, I make sure she's fed, has fresh water, clean litter, and plenty of enrichment. When I get home, I spend quality time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll follow your pet's routine just as carefully as I do my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, litter box care, and any special preferences. In my home, boarded cats will have a clean, calm environment with plenty of toys, fresh water, cozy places to relax, and lots of attention. I do have a friendly resident cat, so I only accept boarding for cats that are comfortable being around other cats. I introduce pets thoughtfully and always prioritize everyone's safety and well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure doors and windows are secure, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have taken care of coaches dogs, teachers dogs, and neighbors animals too. I have supplement and medication experience for dogs and especially coaxing them to take it. :) Having 7 dogs teaches you some stuff. I take care of animals everyday due to the fact that I have so many dogs. It’s daily for me so it comes naturally to take care of a dog. Additionally I have had cats so I do know how to take care of cats. I make sure when in my clients home that the dogs or cats are well played with, exercised, and fed. My main goal is to make sure that the pet is okay and no accidents or pieces of special items to you don’t get eaten or chewed on. ;)

About: I currently have one dog, two cats, and one bunny so I have experience with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs my whole life and did a lot of house sitting/dog sitting throughout high school. I absolutely love playing, walking, and spending time with animals. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician because of my passion for animals! I’ve dealt with every age before from puppies to senior dogs, so I’m no stranger to clean up and administering medication. I guarantee I will treat your animals with the love and care they deserve! I work part time currently but will be having a lot more availability as I go back to school. I should be available everyday as times may vary. I always take proper precautions when taking care of animals, especially outside. Depending on owners preference, I will always make sure they are with me in the safety of a yard or on a leash. They will always remain with me and in my sight.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 18 years and truly love spending time with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work full-time in the Genetics Lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. My schedule allows me to provide pet care after work on weekdays and with flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I love all types of animals! I've had a myriad of animals throughout my life: dogs, cats, fish, and more. I also helped watch my friends' animals and farms whenever they went on vacation. I ready to help provide whatever care your animal(s) require. I work 2nd shift Monday through Thursday, with flexible hours. I'm able to walk and care for animals before work and during my dinner break, as needed. I'm able to maintain whatever routine your animal is accustomed to (walkings, feedings, medication, etc). I know that change and owners being out of town can be hard on many animals, so I try to maintain that level of consistency. I know many good parks and dog parks throughout the Columbus, and surrounding areas that I can take dogs to to enjoy exercise and play.

Kayla did an amazing job dropping in to take care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation. One cat had specific diet needs and med administrations twice a day, and she handled it like a champ! She even vacuumed my floors before I came home, which was an added bonus. Would definitely book her again and highly recommend!

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.

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.
