“I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Madison through Rover! She took care of our three cats—Misty, Grant, and especially our shy little kitten, Maurice—and the experience was above and beyond in every way. Right from the start, Madison’s professionalism and warmth stood out. With her background and experience in animal care and behavior, we felt completely at ease leaving our crew in her hands. Every visit came with incredibly thoughtful, detailed updates—she shared how much they ate, their moods, playtime moments, snuggles, and even any small things she noticed or questions she had. It was clear she was paying close attention to each cat as an individual. But what truly blew us away was the care and patience she showed with Maurice. He’s our shy guy—nervous, unsure, and hesitant around new people. Madison gave him the space he needed, but gently and consistently worked to build trust on his terms. By the end of our trip, we were getting messages about him coming out to play, accepting pets, and even initiating some snuggles (!!). He came out the other side of this experience noticeably more confident and brave—and we truly credit Madison for that transformation. He’s a more courageous little man now, and it means the world to us. We came home to three very happy, relaxed cats and a sense of peace that they had been genuinely cared for. Madison is a gem and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her care for our fur family. We would book her again in a heartbeat—and recommend her to anyone looking for not just a sitter, but someone who will love your pets like their own. 🐱 Hugs from momo binks🖤 + granty boy 🧡+ stinky girl🩶! From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU!! from Cel & Jake🫶🏽”
“I’ve booked with Sherri multiple times, and she’s always been reliable, responsive, and great with my dog. I appreciate the updates and the peace of mind knowing my dog is well cared for when I'm away.”
“AMAZING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! Allison was so thorough during our meet and greet to learn my fur child’s preferences, schedules and quirks. My doggie is a rescue who can be very timid with strangers and has never really taken to a care taker, until now. Allison was so patient with her during her check ins and let her warm up at her own speed, and took fantastic care of her. She is very communicative every step of the way, sends lots of pictures, and gave updates on her meals and potty breaks. Within just a couple days my little doglet warmed up and fell in love! I’m so thrilled to have found such an excellent and reliable care taker to look after my child during my work trips! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend 😊”
“Courtney has been consistently caring for our greyhound for over 2 months, and she's incredible! She's always communicative, respectful, quick with responding to messages and booking requests, follows directions to a "T", and accommodates our needs. Most importantly, our pup loves her! Our normally anxious boy always seems so relaxed and happy after her visits. I can't recommend Courtney enough!”
“Fiona was THE BEST and took great care of our babies! We had a last minute issue and had no one to watch them, she came in and made it work no problem. It was so comforting knowing they were taken care of while we were away. Huge thank you!! 🤍”
“Emilee is fantastic. Our puppy immediately took to her and she has been helping so much with reinforcement of good behaviors during their visits. I highly recommend using her and I know we will be going forward.”
“Kelly went above and beyond for me at very last-minute notice. She made sure my little one was all set and happy, and I cannot recommend her enough. Kelly is the best of the best!”
“Ariana was amazing and communicative! She gave me total peace of mind on my recent trip, went above and beyond helping with things at the house, and took excellent care of my cat. 5 stars. Thank you!!”
“We were in an emergency and reached out to Rover and found Sheridan and Adam P.. So happy we did. They took immediate available care of our critical short term needs then continued super care of our 3 large dogs and cats! Snuggle time, walks, food time all went unbelievably well. And we loved all the pictures. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up around pets taught me that every animal has their own unique personality. Whether your fur baby is super energetic, a couch potato, aloof, or a bit shy, I easily adapt to what makes them feel safe and happy. I'll always treat them like my own! Beyond pet care, I'm a part-time college student working toward my nursing degree, driven by a genuine passion for helping others and making a positive difference in the world. I also work at a daycare in the infant room! My background in childcare has helped me build a deep well of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care qualities that carry over directly to how I look after your beloved pets. 😊 My full-time work schedule leaves my weekday mornings and evenings wide open for your pets! I’m available for daily drop-in visits, plus longer, uninterrupted stays and extra quality time on the weekends. 🥳 I will treat your fur babies like my own and make sure their usual routine is followed! Every animal has such a unique personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special! As I build my presence on this platform, my main priority is giving you total peace of mind and making sure your pets feel completely safe, happy, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your sweet pets! 🩷
About: I have taken care of and owned many types of pets, big and small! I have always been trusted to watch neighbors’ dogs, cats, birds, and even the occasional reptile. I’m currently a college student so early morning and evenings would be my prime time. I have plenty of open evenings to walk dogs, play with pets, and make sure they are getting good care. I will be able to dedicate the necessary amount of time to your pet to make them comfortable! Wether this be walking, playing, or just staying in (for any older dogs) I will be there!
About: Loving, caring home with dogs of my own. I've been a part time pet sitter almost all my life and my passion is dogs but lover of all animals. I can take care of any breed or size dog, no restrictions. There are no children in my home and everyone here loves dogs so them being comfortable here will not be an issue. I always have plenty of different kinds of toys and treats for your specific dogs needs. I can even help teach your loved ones a trick or two, should you be so inclined. My care is top notch and hard to beat! Pet care seamlessly blends into my routine because my daytime job is highly flexible. This open schedule gives me total freedom to dedicate blocks of time to walking dogs, completing drop in visits or checking in on boarding fur babies. While I am starting school in a few weeks, my classes only take up 2.5 hours on two or three evenings per week. This minor commitment ensures I still have maximum availability during high demand daytime hours, plus plenty of completely free nights each week for attentive overnight house sitting! When caring for the animals in your home, my main focus is security, cleanliness, and minimizing separation anxiety. I follow your household rules precisely, ensure all doors and gates are securely locked, and collect your mail or water plants upon request. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a thoroughly scooped litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of one on one attention through focused playtime and comforting belly rubs!
“Jessica was so amazing with our babies, she made them so comfortable and they did great with her! I appreciated her care so much and would definitely use her services again!”
“Kiersten was beyond amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be asking for her help again:) Kiersten went out of her way to set up a meet-and-greet with our two dogs before she started dogsitting. She took great care of them, was always on time, and was extremely responsive to our messages. We felt no stress and knew our pups were in great hands. Thank you, Kiersten! So excited to have you help again soon!”
“Alex was perfect! She followed all instructions perfectly and kept us updated with each visit. We received plenty of pictures of our happy puppy. Would highly recommend!”
“Lindsay takes super good care of my 18.5year old grumpy cat. He doesn't like many people, but she makes him feel comfortable and does a great job of getting him to take his meds without it being a stressful ordeal (very few cat-sitters have been able to gain his trust so well). I recommend her services to anyone nervous about leaving their furbaby alone.”
“This was my first time with Betty and she exceeded my expectations. She was wonderful with my Lucy! Betty is very thoughtful and thorough. I will be rebooking and highly recommend”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. My dog Shea loves Danielle and is always well cared for. We totally trust Danielle with our house and care of our dog with no hesitation. Great - now everyone will book her and I wont get in again 😁”
“Hannah was great! Friendly, nice, and overall very easy to communicate with. We had no worries leaving our fur baby at home while we went on vacation as he was left in good care with Hannah. Definitely would recommend!”
“Celestina was great!! My kitties were very well cared for. She is very professional and detailed with her updates. You can tell she has a passion for animals and your pets are in good hands with her!”

We loved having Kristine & Michael check on our cat. They were very reliable with their drop-in visits, sent daily updates & photos, and made sure our cat was comfortable and happy while we were away. Our cat usually runs and hides when someone new comes into the home, but she actually came out to let them see and pet her. I highly recommend them and would gladly book with them again!!
I have a super chill elderly cat named Layla and a doggy named Penny (Princess Penelope Lane) who is scared of her own shadow, and anyone who's not her family is automatically labeled as "stranger danger." I've never seen Penny take food or pets from someone other than us, but Jessica is a true animal whisperer who's more than able. There's nothing better than receiving consistent pictures and updates while outside of the country and knowing my furry little girls and house are safe in Jessica's capable hands. We plan on looking for a new puppy to bring into the family soon, and I look forward to asking for Jessica's help in caring for them in the future. Thank you so much Jessica 😆
Madison has a very gentle nature that my cats were drawn to immediately. I trusted her because she is a vet assistant and has devoted her life to caring for animals. I was called to go on a business trip for 2.5 weeks, and Madison rose to the occasion and hung in there with daily updates and photos to keep me in touch with them while I was gone. The cats were happy and relaxed when I returned home and I am very grateful for her loving care while I was gone.
Kiersten allowed us to fully enjoy our time away from home! She took such good care of my cats and dog, and went the extra mile to make sure that the home was taken care of while we were not here. We feel very lucky to have had her watch our kids, and can’t wait to have them babysit again!
Kelly has been caring for our two cats when we go on vacation for 7+ years. She is so kind and takes excellent care of them. Each visit she checks their water and food, cleans the litter boxes, and plays with them. The cats know her when she shows up. You can tell she really loves and cares for animals. She is flexible with our scheduling and has accept d last minute requests several times. I highly recommend Kelly!
Leslie took exceptional care of my cat, Sunny, while I was on vacation. From the beginning, she was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. What I appreciated most were the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see that Sunny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for every day. I highly recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Nicholas was awesome with both our dog and cat! We usually have some trouble with our dog getting anxious while we're away, but had no issues this time! He was happy on his walks and well taken care of. Our cat also enjoyed having Nicholas around, which we can't say for everyone. Nicholas gave detailed updates and lots of photos of our pets to keep us updated while we were away. This is the most confident I've been with anyone looking after our pets, and we will definitely be booking again!
I felt confident in Clarissa watching my babies upon the meet & greet. She exceeded my expectations during the visits while I was away! The pictures I received were all I needed to know they were enjoying every second of her company! Thank you very much for a job well done :)
Harmony was great!! She updated me daily with pictures of my babies! She was super responsive and definitely made me feel at ease leaving them. She even got Koufax (our shy guy) to come out for a treat! I came back and the house looked great and she was so sweet she even cleaned a pan I had left in the sink. Absolutely amazing sitter and I'm so happy I found 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.

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.
