“Evelyn watched our cats for 14 days while also giving medicine, playing with them and giving them lovings. We were so stressed about leaving our cats with a stranger, but she made the process so unbelievably easy, on top of the fact we have a diabetic cat and she went above and beyond ensuring nothing went wrong. So responsive to messages, sends noted and pictures daily and clearly made sure the litter didnt get out of hand -- absolutely no gross smells or messed by the time we came home. We will be looking for her on our next trip, especially considering how fast our cats took to her and how relaxed they were during the trip and when we came home. Thank you Evelyn so much for all that you do and for being you, you will be contacted again for our next trip, as said.”

Most mornings I am busy with school but I willing to work with you I have plenty of room for all your animals! And can do what is needed based on your request, they will be so happy and loved with me
“Thanks to Katy for watching my girl Rue. It was a last minute request and she had super fast response times. Always sent pics and even got some pets in on my very particular cat 🤗”
“Spencer took great care of my animals and was very good about sending me updates, and also made sure to always include a ton of details, which helped me so much when leaving them with a rover sitter for the first time!”
“Jessica was so great at taking care of Luka. The updates that she sent with pictures were reassuring that Luka was in great care. I was thankful for her bringing in an unexpected package that was delivered. I appreciated her schedule flexibility as I arrived home earlier than expected. I would recommend Jessica in caring for your loved one.”
About: I grew up on a small farm so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small pets. All of my pets have been rescues and truly are my children. I focus on personalized care, enrichment, socialization, adventures and not just feeding and potty breaks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine while giving them the same patience, attention and love I give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of outdoor adventures. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around the animals in my care, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, longer adventures or overnight stays. My home is pet-friendly with a doggy door and secure 6-foot vinyl-fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. My neighborhood has lots of walking paths and parks. There is a small dog park within walking distance.
About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have ecpericance watching all different kinds of pups, I've worked with different ages, sizes, breeds, abilities, and needs. I have had practice admistering medication at feeding times, as well as watching up to 4 medium dogs at a time. I am a flexable college student that attends CSU, each of my days look a little different, although I can gaurentee the availibility to check up on your dog at least once every 3.5-4 hours! I can watch them for long or short periods of time, whatever works for you and the puppy! I care for my clients pets as I would care for my own. I work around the schedule that they are used to, aswell as keep up with their physical needs. I care for pets in a loving manner and with as much attention as possible
About: I go the extra mile because I care. I love anyone’s animal like it’s my own. I've had animals since I was born. Dogs, cats, horses etc. Anyone who's ever seen me work with animals says how naturally it comes and sees the genuine love I have for them. Whether you have a senior pet who needs extra TLC, a youngin whose hobby is testing patience, or anything in between, I'd love to give them the best care possible while making your life easier. I train horses and dogs (hopefully for a living one day) so any challenge or task brought up, I can handle. Neighbors and friends are always asking me to take care of their pets and I'm excited to help every time. I love communicating and connecting with owners and I do art & photography as well so making pet art pieces/photos are something that brings me joy. I currently work a flexible part time gig, approx. 9am- 12pm daily except Monday & Thursday. My schedule is ideal to work around you and your pets' needs! I have plenty of space for your fur baby to get comfortable in my home along with a big fenced in yard, a safe pet abundant neighborhood to walk in, and park right down the street. I do not have a crate available but could transport yours if need be. A shih tzu and a dachshund live here as well but can be separate from your pet. In your home, I'm extremely flexible and would love to cater to your pets needs and routine in the comfort of its own home!
About: Throughout my childhood, I grew up with dogs. While I do not currently have a dog, I take care of my parents’ dog and three cats when they are out of town. I am also a cat mom to a lil kitten named Merlin. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! Whether it’s taking them on walks, feeding them, or just hanging out with them while you are gone. I love animals so much, I decided to get a degree in the conservation of them! I am currently in between jobs meaning that I can care for your pets anytime! Whether you need me weekdays, weekends or even if you are going on a trip, I am very flexible! While I am not comfortable hosting pets in my home at this time with a kitten, I am more than happy to walk dogs, do day visits or pet sitting while you are gone on a trip.
“Hanna did a wonderful job caring for my elderly cat. She sent sweet pictures and thorough am/pm updates. Hanna is warm, outgoing, engaged, enthusiastic, caring, sincere and confident. My cat takes several meds- topical, injection, and oral and she was able to administer successfully. Not only that but she went above and beyond loving on him and giving him quality time. I highly recommend Hanna.”
“We had Mickayla check in on our cat Gumbo several times while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was easy to work with in setting up both a meet and greet, and regular visits, flexible with our schedule, and happy to give him affection in addition to cleaning out his box and refilling his food and water. She did a great job taking care of Gumbo while we were out (and even kept a couple of tropical plants in our house alive)! We would definitely use her again to watch Gumbo.”
About: I have been around many different kinds of pets all of my life! I am excited to take care of your babies! I have a dog and two cats myself. I am currently working full time, but I am available on the weekends. I can potentially be available the weekdays after 6pm if needed. :) I can easily make an animal feel comfortable and confident in any environment, I don’t offer at home pet care, so they will be safe!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have one dog of my own. She is my world. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. At 42 y/o I am going back to school! Working full time doesn't work with my schedule. Gigging does, plus I can do what actually love! Hang out with animals! In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client especially when it comes to pet care. Overarching, is love. I provide calm and loving care. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting, or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Asjah was great! She was super communicative even when her visit timing had to be adjusted because of work. She followed our instructions perfectly and most importantly our animals were happy, healthy and well cared for upon our return. I would absolutely recommend her!
Salamae is the best! My cat is very reticent, but at their first meeting, my cat came right up to Salamae to be petted. Salamae proved herself to be reliable, followed all of my instructions, and showed sensitivity and care for my cat. Booking with Salamae gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of state dealing with a stressful family emergency.

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.
