“Tibbs LOVED his time with Jordan. I hired her for the first time through Rover and couldn't be happier. She was communicative and responsive. She handled everything id asked, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and most importantly made my baby feel loved and cared for while I was away. She is our new cat sitter after this trip! It was so nice to have the reassurance of her drop in visits while I was away for a week. And to see how much my cat loved her!! Highly recommend her as a trustworthy petsitter for your fur babies :)”

“Suzie was absolutely amazing! She always made sure our cats had fresh food, water, and a clean litter box, and she took the extra time to play with them so they felt cared for while we were away. What we especially loved were the thoughtful report cards she sent for each kitty, along with photos that helped us feel connected to them even while traveling. We hadn’t been in North Carolina very long, and Suzie was one of the first people we had the pleasure of getting to know during our brief time there and we are so glad our paths crossed. We are so grateful that she was the one to look after our babies. She is kind, reliable, trustworthy, and considerate—we would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful petsitter.”

About: I’m a Junior at NCSU in the Pre-Vet program! I am a certified vet assistant, worked as a kennel attendant, and I volunteer with a local cat rescue often. I have experience with aggressive, disabled, and high energy animals, as well as all types of species! I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the best care! I am currently taking classes but I am flexible in the mornings and evenings to take care of your pet! I am often free and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I will walk dogs with awareness and attentiveness of your pet, and during house visits I will make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and healthy! I will make sure your pet is active and playing, and I don't mind attending to other requests while you're away.

“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong dog owner and proud cat mom to two kitties, so I understand pets of all kinds (and their quirks). I share my home with my own dog and two cats, so your pet can have friendly animal companionship if that’s a good fit, or my full attention if not. I’m highly detail-oriented, so I take feeding schedules, medication, leash habits, and little personality quirks seriously. I’ll follow your routine exactly and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care, so whatever you need, I’m happy to help. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there’s nothing I love more than spending my days with them. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I’m a classroom teacher, so I’m typically free for drop-ins, walks, and boarding on evenings, weekends, and school breaks. My schedule is consistent and predictable, so you can count on reliable, on-time care every single visit. I’m highly detail-oriented and treat every pet like my own. In my home, your dog or cat will get a calm, attentive environment alongside my own dog and two cats. I follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly as given, and I’m happy to crate or separate animals if needed for everyone’s comfort.

Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: I've been a pet person my whole life; I grew up with a childhood cat I adored, and today I have two cats of my own that I've raised from kittens. For the past 7+ years, I've cared for neighbors' and friends' cats and dogs, ranging from kittens/puppies to senior cats and dogs. I know that pets each have their own personalities and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable so they aren't so scared when you are gone. I am very passionate about giving my cats the best life I can, and I will absolutely do the same for your pet :) I work a remote part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and a lot of availability for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Because I'm home often, I can provide consistent visits, extra playtime, and quick responses if anything comes up while you're away. I make sure to follow your instructions closely especially feeding, medication, routines, and house rules so your cat's day stays as normal as possible while you're away. Every visit I check food, water, and litter, watch for any changes in behavior or appetite, and send updates/photos so you are kept up to date. My goal is for your cat to feel comfortable and well cared for, and for you to feel a little more relaxed.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.

About: I’ve been a lover of pets since I was a child and do my very best to give any and all of them as much love and care as possible. I’ve almost always had an animal in the house since I can remember and they’ve all been special to me in their own ways. While I am new to animal care as something other than just caring for my own furry (and fishy) friends, I do have experience from helping care for strays in my neighborhood, cat sitting for a friend and walking my neighbors dog. I strive to treat any and all animals as I would my own, with gentleness and respect. I am currently enrolled in community college which only demands for me to make time on Mondays in the morning for class. Other than that, my weeks look pretty open. I am flexible with scheduling and will communicate and be very upfront about any conflicts or if a job simply doesn’t fit into whatever plans I might already have. When taking care of another’s pets I will be as respectful as I can of the environment while staying attentive to the animal the full time. I will follow whatever instructions are set and be aware to any behavioral notes or boundaries a pet may have that I am warned about. I will engage the animal as much as possible, wanting to give them enough love and entertainment within the duration I have with them. I might even bring over a toy or treat if permitted.

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet owner with hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, and other small animals. I have my own cat, my rescued baby, Neko, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, trustworthy, and attentive caring for your pet. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and following detailed routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior and always prioritize safety and comfort. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and will happily send photos and updates during every visit so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for. My schedule can vary depending on my RBT work, but I usually have good availability in the mornings and can often accommodate daytime visits as well. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to coordinate care around each pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make safety a priority. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, follow feeding and medication routines exactly, and make sure pets are comfortable before I leave. I also send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.

About: I've had German Shepherds, cats, and horses all my life. I fostered shy, scared cats from a shelter in Prague and got them all adopted, except my foster fail, Pepsi. I know how to coax out a hider and spot when a pet isn't feeling well. I've walked and dogsat large breeds, like huskies, staffies, labs, goldens, shepherds, collies, etc., and I'm comfortable with harnesses, muzzles, and waist leashes. I've given meds to many sick and senior animals (dogs and cats), using pill injectors and pill pockets. I can also do puppy basics like potty schedules and crate routines, if we keep a consistent schedule. I've volunteered at shelters since 2006, competed and been on training staff at horse competitions, farm sat, volunteered with therapeutic horse riding programs, and worked as a horse camp counselor. Taking care of animals has always been a big priority in my life :) My schedule is flexible, so I can fit visits around your day. Drop-ins are my specialty, and I'm available mornings, afternoons, and evenings most days. Overnights can be arranged if you need them. I also have family nearby who help with childcare, so last-minute requests are often doable if communication is clear. I reply fast and will always tell you early if something changes. At my home, my backyard is fully fenced appropriately for all sizes of dogs. Larger dogs get leashed walks (quiet neighborhood with no other dogs off leash) and supervised play. I have two friendly, dog- and cat-social German Shepherds and a cat, so we will have to arrange a meet and greet first. At your home, I'll follow your routines, keep doors and gates secured, and send regular photo updates.

About: I have taken care of the family cat for 8 years, as well as embracing being a cat mom to 3 and welcoming all animals in my life. Although my strongest suit has always been cats, I have walked and fed, and even in some cases, tended to sick dogs throughout my life. After all, for 6 years I had wanted to become a veterinarian for a reason. I will always be a dog person and cat person, instead of rather just choosing one side of the debate. In the coming months, I will also become a dog mom as well! If paying through Rover is also an issue, I have Venmo, PayPal and Zelle if that would provide an easier process for my customers. I work as a freelancer photographer and model. My shifts usually are quite flexible and I would let you know ahead of time if I am available or not due to a potential wedding (I do wedding photography). I tend to my own pet’s needs comfortably while working from home so the more pets around, it honestly is a breeze. Having weekends off, I open the doors for anyone especially needing a house sitter. I am willing to move things around to be more compatible with your schedule. I have dealt with mostly indoor cats, yet it is important to point out that I have been recently training my own cat in outdoor exposure. With dogs, I will gladly take them on outdoor walks or if they prefer playtime indoors, I would happily cheer them up. I have helped care for a special needs dog while being with my partner so I know how to handle all walks of life.

About: I’ve take care of all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles) since I was 10 years old. I have always been a trustworthy person to take care of your beloved family member. I am a teacher, a dog and cat owner myself. I am reliable, honest and kind to every person and animal big or small. I’m a teacher who has open summers. I can come morning, afternoon, or night. I have my own dog and cats that I care for on a daily basis and I would treat your animals just like I would my own. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly, spayed Dalmatian named Blue. I also have 2 very friendly rescue cats, Graham and Mellow. I have a lot of space and experience.

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.

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 .

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
