“Abby was such an incredible help! She was able to step in last minute and eased all of my anxiety as I was on vacation. She was so incredibly loving with both of my cats, the pictures spoke for themselves, and her communication throughout was top tier. Would absolutely book with Abby again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily feeding routines, fresh water, walks and playtime, basic grooming, litter box and kennel cleaning, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets as well as seniors who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure they receive consistent, reliable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, health, and well-being at all times. I work 7am–3pm most days, which gives me flexible afternoon and evening availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive attentive, unhurried care and consistent routines. When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any house rules. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of affection and attention. I treat every home with respect and keep things clean and secure. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners confidence that their home and pet are in good hands.

I was nervous being away from them for the first time, but I was so impressed with the care Chelsea gave them, they looked so happy in the pictures playing with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Jaxx and Cheerio, that means the world to me.”

“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for a Golden Retriever, a Husky, and a Jackapoo, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently have four cats of my own, so I am also very comfortable caring for cats and understanding their unique needs and behaviors. Through the years, I have gained experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, and providing pets with a safe and loving environment. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they were away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or simply someone reliable to check in on them, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. On Fridays, I work from home and have flexibility throughout the day, including my lunch hour. I am available for evening walks and drop-in visits during the week, and I have open availability on weekends. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and providing pets with the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and will treat them as if they were my own.

Anytime or anyplace, I am here for you and your babies! By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾

“Courtney did a great job taking care of my cats. I have one cat who is an escape artist, so I was very nervous he might get out. But Courtney was very careful, and there were no issues. I have been searching for a cat sitter that I can trust and feel comfortable with. I can say, I will definitely hire Courtney for our next vacation.”

“Steph is the perfect pet sitter for my Gracie. She has a border collie just like mine so she is well aware of their energy levels and high sensitivity. You can tell Gracie loves when Steph comes over to visit her. Steph gets a lot of that energy out that is getting built up while Gracie is home alone and shows a lot of love for her. I know I can trust her while I’m away.”

About: I’m a ceramic artist, art teacher, and passionate animal lover. I have two wonderful dogs, Chispa and Puggy, who love meeting new furry friends. With years of experience caring for my own pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s a walk, a playdate, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets like part of the family! Pets always come first in my home. I love taking my dogs on hikes, walks, and puppy playdates. I live in a dog friendly complex with a park and have a small, private fenced yard and terrace, perfect for sunbathing pups! If your dog needs a bath, I’m happy to give them a scrub in the tub. I’m also known for making homemade dog treats. Let me spoil your dog with lots of love and care! I work from home full time, so your dog will receive constant attention and care throughout their stay. We only board small to medium sized dogs (under 40 pounds), but I’m happy to discuss any special exceptions. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for almost my entire life this including dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with raw feeding, as my family and I do the same for our dogs and cats at home. I addition to both dogs and cats, I have hands on experience caring for different exotic pets such as snakes, tarantulas, frogs and other invertebrates, along with small animals like rats and guinea pigs as well. My dad and I breed snakes and rats, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, habitat care, and handling animals that require specific environments and attention. Because of this background, I’m confident managing different temperaments, routines, and care needs. I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. Whether your pet is covered in scales or furr, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I’m currently a student at Wayne State and also work for a catering company, which allows me to maintain a pretty flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets get plenty of time, attention, and care while you’re away. I know every pet has their own routine, so I’m always willing to work around what makes them most comfortable! I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow any instructions and routines provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has different boundaries, so I’ll give them as much attention or space as they need.

“This is our second time I’m using Madalyne to watch our three kitties. She watched them for three weeks while we went out of the country. Even our shy kitties warmed up to her and allowed her to actually pet them, which was amazing. She did a great job and we will definitely use her again.”

About: In my circle of family and friends, I’m known as the “resident pet sitter.” I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’m comfortable administering medications (I give my own cat medicine daily!) and have experience helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m very attentive to routines and always follow feeding schedules and instructions carefully. When I care for your pets, I treat them like my own and how I hope someone would treat my pets. I am patient and understanding and would love to get to know your furry friend’s quirks! Since I work from home, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I enjoy building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care requests. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. I also treat every home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“We have used Rover a few times before to find a sitter for our cat and have never been disappointed but Keana is definitely going to be my first choice if we're in need of a cat sitter again. It's always good to find a reliable sitter you trust. It's even greater if you feel your pet feels comfortable with said sitter as well. Our cat usually doesn't easily warm up to new people so it means a lot when she lets herself petted and feels comfortable enough to 'complain' or 'chat' with someone other than us. Well, our cat certainly felt comfortable around Keana as some of the videos she send us clearly show. Also, Keana is super nice and easy to communicate with. And, I appreciate that she brought in the mail and checked on my kitchen herbs without having asked to do so. Thank you so much.”

Rhonda was absolutely the best. She made our cat, Leo feel safe and cared for while we were gone for two weeks. She kept us updated after each visit and sent pictures to show us how well he was cared for while she was there. Thanks again Rhonda! We will use you again in the future. Loved the pictures ❤️

Sarah took excellent care of my girls. This was my first time leaving them. They are independent young cats, but have not been left alone. Sarah came before for a meet and greet and to explain what she does during her visits. I received updates and photos as well. We will definitely be requesting Sarah in the future. ❤️

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 .

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.

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.
