About: I had a dog, her name was Kenya from 8-15 and she unfortunately passed from health conditions. She was a family dog I’ve known and looked after since I can remembered, my cousin gave her to me and my mother when they moved. As she got older, me and my mother had to give her medication for a couple months before, paying close attention to her habits during her later months :/ . I currently have a small, short-haired grey Cat named Sonny. I visit my cousin frequently throughout the month and I always offer to walk her dog because I enjoy walks! I’m currently working as a full time ortho assistant Mon-Thursday, Usually leaving the office around 4:30 pm. Fri-Sun I’m completely free. For overnight stays during my work days, I am willing to travel from your home to my job, leaving in the early mornings After consulting with future clients, I’ll keep track of any dietary needs, special care instructions and any indicator habits I should know about prior to servicing your fur baby!❤️
“Dee is always communicative and takes the best pictures! We can always trust that our cats and reptiles are well taken care of when we are gone. This is probably like the fourth time asking Dee to drop in and visit/feed our pets and everything is always just right! Dee comes at a good hour and follows instructions exactly! We will continue to request Dee in the future.”
“Cathy was punctual, neat, mindful and a fantastic communicator! She followed our instructions and put in the extra effort to accommodate our shy kitty. 10/10 would recommend! We loved our experience so much that we booked her again :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have also worked as a dog walker, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for Labs for years and have experience with walks, runs, senior dogs, administering medication, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I love getting to know each dog and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m able to work around walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime while still keeping up with my work. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to build visits around each pet’s routine and give them the attention they need while their owners are away. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. I’ll always take the time to understand your instructions, ask questions if anything is unclear, and make sure I have any additional information I need before you leave. I’ll follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Candice did an excellent job! I was especially impressed with how hard she tried (and succeeded!) to get my one cat to eat his medicated food. She genuinely seemed to care about my babies and their wellbeing. She also provided very thorough notes on the visit and lots of good pictures! Would definitely book her again.”
“Excellent service. Warm and friendly cat sitter. My cats loved her and they were well taken care of. I can rest easy knowing I have found someone I can trust to take care of my cats while I’m away.”
“Rene was lovely. She was kind, timely, responsive, and I very much trusted her with my cat. My cat was a brat, and she was very sweet about the situation. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Sandra was awesome. She sent me updates and pictures after every visit. She treated Cleo as she was her own pet. She was a wonderful caretaker. Definitely will have her take care of Cleo again. Thank you, Sandra!”
“Susan was great! I felt safe with her taking care of my cat while I was away overseas. She was communicative the entire time, very responsive, left me daily notes on time, and my cat seemed to have had a great time with her. Would book again :)”
“Dymond was wonderful with my cat! Very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. This was my first time leaving my cat since adopting her and I felt very comfortable doing so knowing Dymond would be checking in on her!”
“Jasmin has been the best sitter for our pets! We have used her multiple times and always feel so relaxed on our trips knowing she’s taking care of our furry family! She truly cares about making sure your pets are as happy as can be and would recommend her 100%!”
About: I grew up with dogs, hamsters and fish so have experience since childhood taking care of pets. More recently I have my own cat and have helped friend/ family take care of their cats, dogs and guinea pigs while away. My full time job is a teacher. I am available after 4pm on weekdays. I am very flexible and open on weekends to help care for your pets. If asked to care for a pet I will follow all requests and treat your pet and home with respect and care. I want to earn you and the pets trust so we can hopefully work together in the future.
“Mary took great care of my cat, Sammie. I received short notice about a work trip, and Mary's care for Sammie gave me great peace of mind during a hectic time. She was kind, reliable, and I really appreciated the daily updates she provided. I definitely recommend booking with her if you're looking for someone to care for your pets!”
“Alyssa is truly the Best! Mia, my English Bulldog, has the attitude of a teenage girl, and isnt a morning pupper, Im positive some days she just doesnt want to move from her fluffy bed! Alyssa is amazing with her!”
“Cristina is very attentive as a dog sitter and communicates very well with you. She will make sure to ask questions about how you care for your dogs, and follow the rules/commands you give your dogs. 10/10”
“Christy was so easy to work with! She took the time to understand my dogs, their habits and their needs. She accommodated my special requests without a second thought. Having her taking care of my fur babies gave me such peace of mind!”
“Stephanie watched my two turtles and cat. She was very professional and friendly with all the animals! I definitely recommend her! I felt very safe and knew my babies were in good hands!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
My family adopted a kitten in July—our very first one—and she quickly became the youngest member of our family, surrounded by lots of love. However, we were scheduled a family trip before the end of summer vacation, Therefore, we needed a pet sitter to take care of little furry one, so we found Julia H. We soon discovered that Julia was much more than just a pet sitter—she was a guardian angel for our kitten. She always arrived on time and cared for her with genuine love and attention. She followed all of our instructions carefully, played with her patiently, and concluded every visit by sending us pictures and updates. It did not take long for Julia to win our kitten’s trust. Our kitten cuddled with her and became noticeably affectionate and clingy around her, which told us everything we needed to know. Knowing that she was in such caring and capable hands allowed us to enjoy our worry-free family trip. Julia is responsible, responsive, and thus reliable. Our kitten’s reaction to her says it all. We would be more than happy to have Julia care for our little furry one again next time we need to be away, and we are pleased to recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone who is accountable.
We’ve been working with Lynnette for several years now, and she has become an absolutely invaluable part of our pets’ lives. She is wonderful with both our cats and our dog — patient, gentle, and genuinely caring. What truly sets her apart is how she goes above and beyond her responsibilities. During one of our trips, we had a small water‑leak issue at home while she was caring for the cats. She notified us immediately, handled the initial cleanup, and made sure everything was safe until we could get back and fix the problem. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism give us complete peace of mind every time we travel. We would hire her again without hesitation.
Dee Dee provided wonderful care for my pets! I travelled for a week and she cared for my three cats. Her communication was perfect and she was able to care for these cats even when they were hiding! Reassured me with pictures that she gave them fresh food and water and even would leave treats for them. We have a hermit crab and hamster and she looked after them as well- refreshing the water and food. I would definitely ask Dee Dee to help us again! Her daily messages and pics were so helpful and my pets were very happy when we got back home (I had another experience where I came home to scratched up things and random pee spots (even on my bed)! I appreciate the time it takes to care for pets when you can’t really interact while they are shy. Dee Dee is a great sitter and I will be rebooking with any future travel!
Candice took excellent care of my cats and sent me a detailed report of how they are doing/what they did, putting my anxieties at ease! She even provided pro-tips on how I could keep my cats from scratching the new carpet. I would (and will!) 100% hire her again.
Shen-Huan was perfect from start to finish for my cat. She communicates quickly, sends adorable pictures and updates on every visit, and also is thoughtful. My cat is elderly and needed meds and twice-a-day visits; Shen-Huan was very kind, very patient, very understanding with Ginger. She got her meds, got lots of love and scritches while I was away, and I came home to a very happy chill cat. Would absolutely request her again for our home, would recommend to yours!
Sandra took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She made sure they were well fed and gave them plenty of love and attention. My cats felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. I knew they were in excellent hands, and she truly went above and beyond. She was on time and followed every single instructions I gave her. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
Jasmin has been the best sitter we’ve had for our drop-in visits. She is incredibly accommodating, even with last-minute reservations, and always makes the process stress-free. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pets are in good hands. We truly appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the care she gives every visit. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable!
We loved having Tim look after our cat for the week! He was so kind and patient with our very senior furball. On top of the time he took to give lots of love and playtime, Tim kept perfect track of meds and food. What’s more—was so nice in managing a few bouts of ‘tummy trouble’. We would totally book him again!
Anna did a drop-in visit for my 4 cats, including administering insulin to my diabetic cat. She was wonderful! Great communication! I had mentioned to her that I feed each cat in a different room, hoping, but from experience with other sitters, not expecting her to actually separate them. She did! I also really appreciate her putting the effort to go above and beyond what I asked. One example: During the meet and great, I fed my kitties, including adding water to their food. I mentioned to her that she didn't need to do that, but when she did the drop-in, she went ahead and did it anyways. :) I'm glad I hired her and highly recommend her!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
