“Mara was awesome!! The cats seemed to be comfortable with her immediately -- even our shy girl. Her drop-in pics made us smile everyday and she followed instructions perfectly as far as we could tell! Thank you Mara! You rock :)”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life and love a snuggle with a dog or cat! I have my own cat at home and am often taking care of friends' dogs. I work as a teacher, and would be available to check in or house sit on evenings after 4pm, weekends, or other regular school breaks. While my cat will not take kindly to strangers, I will happily follow your routine while in your home! We can play, cuddle, or go on walks, whatever you need.
About: I have 4 cats of my own. Experience with small and medium dogs. Open to medical care, pet-related chores (litter box & poop scoopin), and especially cuddles! Love to give treats & play! I am a nurse who works night shifts, I have my schedule at the hospital 6-8weeks in advance usually! On days I’m working I would drop in the morning and the evening. I’m wide open on my days off! I’d like to recreate your own routine with your pets while you’re away! Comfortable with crates, walks, playing, feeding, cuddling, cleaning, sending updates via photo/video!
“Lindsey went way above and beyond for us when we had a medical emergency with our rescued feral cat. She dropped everything to come and help us get him to the vet and then stayed throughout his treatment and care, providing helpful information and giving us emotional support. We can’t express enough how grateful we are to her. Exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and kind.”
About: Lifelong Care You Can Trust I may not have a corporate resume in pet care, but I have a lifetime of hands-on experience loving and caring for animals. Growing up, my family raised an Old English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Today, my home is shared with two short-hair cats and my two children. My entire daily life is centered around routine, safety, and animal happiness. have a highly flexible schedule that revolves perfectly around your cat's/dog’sneeds. As a full-time online business student and dad, my days are structured but completely open for pet care.Once I finish the morning school and work drop-off at 7:30 AM, my day is yours. I am fully available for drop-ins, feedings, and playtime all morning and afternoon. I just step away briefly for family pickups at 2:15 PM and 3:45 PM, but otherwise, I am studying from home and ready to provide your cat/dog with constant companionship, monitoring, and love. Your home is your cat’s castle, and I treat it with total respect and military-grade reliability. Because my own cat, Nova, suffers from severe anxiety, I am a master at reading feline body language and handling sensitive cats. I know exactly how to walk into a house gently, build trust on their terms, and sneak medication seamlessly into wet food without making it a stressful event. If your cat is more like my other cat, Stella—vocal and demanding—I speak fluent "meow" and know exactly when they are asking for attention, food, or space. When I visit your home for feedings, walks, or check-ins, you can expect:Flawless Routines: Exact adherence to your feeding schedules, water fountain/bowl top-offs, and meticulous litter box scooping (yes, I even know how to maintain and troubleshoot specialized tech like Litter-Robots).High-Level Security: I double-check that doors are locked, windows are secure, and no toxic house hazards are left within reach before I leave.TLC & Play: High-energy toy sessions for the active kitties, or calm, quiet companionship for the introverts.
About: I’ve been helping take care of the pets of friends and family since I was in middle school. I mainly specialize in dog, cat, and rodent care. For the past 7 years I’ve worked in positions helping to care for animals in research settings, mainly rodents, rabbits, and pigs. However my biggest love is caring for our furry and not so furry pets at home. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare and always look to ensure any critter under my care has all it needs to live a healthy, fulfilled life. I currently work M-F 7-3:30. I am able to do afternoon/evening walks or house drop/ins if need be. I am free most weekends as well for walks or drop-ins or if necessary overnight care. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare. I always want to see pets and all animals really live long, healthy lives. I’m willing to follow any guidelines a pet owner has regarding their pet(s) and will always be respectful of an owner’s wishes. If I were to stay in a client’s home for an overnight visit I would be respectful of the client’s space and would be as neat and tidy with my stay there as possible.
“Hannah house sat and watched our two cats while we were on a 10-day trip to Alaska. She took the time to do a meet and greet before our trip, and her passion for animals was apparent from the moment we met her. She was so attentive and communicative, and we felt confident both our home and our two kitties were very well cared for while we were away. She even sent pics and video updates. When we got home, she had left a list of everything she had completed prior to our return (when plants were last watered, when cats were last fed, when/what house cleaning tasks completed, etc). She was so professional and went above and beyond to make our first Rover experience a positive one. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a house and/or pet sitter! Thank you, Hannah! :)”
“Jade took great care of Luna and Casper Kitty while they boarded with her. Both cats were comfortable and well looked after the entire time. She communicated with me daily and sent photos, which was so reassuring. I felt very confident leaving them in her care and would happily book Jade again!”

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
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 cancellation policy, 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.
