“Lauren was Terrific! She came every day on time, really connected with our Four cats and sent us pictures and videos every day of her assignment! One day she couldn't locate our male cat, she texted and then called me to discuss! Between the two of us, we were able to find him, and she and I were relieved! I give Lauren the highest rated, she loves animals and would recommend her for either you dogs or cats!”
“Keri took the best care of our cats! She was reliable,, responsible, communicated with us every day, and was so kind to our beloved kitties. We recommend her highly and would call on her in the future when we need pet care. Thank you Keri for your excellent service!”
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.
“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”
About: I have experience caring for both small and large breeds, including administering medications and sticking to routine schedules. From long walks to playful fetch sessions or cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m a mother of one, as well as a proud pet mom to a 6-year-old Maltese and a 5-year-old tuxedo cat. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, reliable care. I’m detail-oriented, caring, and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I’ll care for your pet just like I do my own. I’ll stick to their routine so they feel safe and comfortable, make sure they’re fed, walked, and loved on, and handle any medications they need. You can count on lots of updates and photos, because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your pet happy while you’re away.
About: I have done dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager for family, friends, and neighbors. I have taken care of all different types of dogs of different ages and needs. I currently have a 6 month old puppy so I am used to that stage as well! I am at school most weekdays but can always do evenings 7 days a week. My schedule on weekdays during the day varies but I always have time available. I am very clean and neat and will not disrupt your living space or personal items when caring for your precious pets. I can follow whatever safety and security measures you prefer to access your pet.
“Nikki was very responsive and took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet before the service began. She did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Danielle was great. We moved and needed a new cat sitter while away for a short trip. Our cats are pretty easy but we spoil them a bit and leaving them is always so hard. She made it worry free. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes and have been responsible for they’re care and well being since a young age. I’m a full time as stylist, however my schedule can be pretty flexible, I am often able to make adjustments in my schedule to make myself available to spend time with your pets! I am not able to bring pets into my own home at this time but I am happy to visit with them in their homes!
“Allyson is a great pet sitter! She is easy to communicate with and sent many pictures and detailed updates about Olivier while I was away. She even watered my plants for me 🙏💕 thank you Allyson. I can recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“I am so grateful for Darcy. She took care of my cat Carter for a week just 8 days after he had surgery. She spent hours hanging out with him, taught him relaxation techniques, and found inventive ways to get him to eat while he was on an antibiotic that zapped his appetite.”
“Hardy did a great job looking after my kitties after my usual sitter was traveling. He showed up on time and was great at communicating. I got daily updates on my kitties and everyone was happy and healthy when I returned. Happy to have Hardy housesit again, I had complete peace of mind!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I started with walking a neighbors dog and now I have done over nights and short term stays. I have worked with both small dogs, big dogs, young and old dogs. I have experience giving medicine and staying over. I have another job but I am able to check in frequently I am also available to stay over if that is preferred. I have a car so if comfortable we can go to parks and go on the trails! I can do overnights or I can do check ins. I have a bit of a green thumb so I can also care for any plants! I of course will be respectful of your home clean up after the animals and myself.

About: I have been house sitting for pets since I was a teenager. Both for cats and dogs. I have a very great spirit and love animals. Animals tend to come to me and feel comfortable at first meeting. I've owned dogs growing up and I take care of one now thats my own. And I love it. Everyone that has hired me has appreciated and loved the care that I provide to their pets. I'm on time and always give the pets a good time on a walk and or at the dog park. I love being out doors. I have my own transportation, very easy and flexible schedule and can be on call. I work for myself so I'm available and have flexibility in scheduling. I can do over night stays or regular scheduled walks throughout our the week. I care for the animals if they were my own. With warm hellos and happy playfulness. I comfort them and play with the animals to give them full attention.
About: About Me Having grown up with dogs for most of my life, I understand that a pet is a family member who deserves undivided attention and care. In my professional life, I am a Special Education Teacher, a role that has gifted me with immense patience, a calm demeanor, and the ability to follow strict routines to the letter. While I don’t currently have animals of my own, I channel my lifelong passion into being the trusted, go-to walker and sitter for friends and family. The Benefit of Undivided Attention Since my home is currently pet-free, your dog or cat receives my 100% devotion without any distractions. I have extensive experience with multi-pet households, managing everything from high-energy play sessions for large dogs to the specific, quieter needs of independent cats. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule or providing extra cuddles, I treat every pet with the same love and respect I gave my own for years. Services & Personalized Care Focused Dog Walking: Tailored to your dog’s energy level and sensory needs. Drop-In Visits: Ideal for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. Reliable Communication: I am highly communicative and will send frequent photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. My Availability I balance my love for animals with my full-time teaching career, which means I have a very consistent and predictable schedule: Mornings: Available Monday & Wednesday mornings for early walks/feedings (before 7 am). Evenings: Available Tuesday nights and Friday afternoons (after 4:00 PM). Weekends: I am fully available every other weekend, from Friday evening after 4 pm through Monday at 7:00 AM. Bonus Holiday & Summer Availability: As a teacher, I have extended flexibility during Spring and Winter breaks, as well as major holidays. I am also very open and available this coming summer for more frequent walks and drop-ins! Possible boarding and house sitting in the summer. Availability Tuesday Evenings: Available after 4:00 PM for walks or drop-ins. Wednesday Mornings: Available for early visits before 7:00 AM. Weekends: Available every other weekend (Friday 4:00 PM – Monday 7:00 AM) for more frequent visits. Note: As a full-time Special Education teacher, I am used to following routines! While my weekly schedule is consistent, I have a lot of flexibility during school holidays and long weekends. My schedule will be wide open for summer break as I will be nannying only two days per week. If you have a specific need outside these hours, please reach out. I’m happy to see if I can make it work! As a Special Education teacher and a mom, patience and reliability are second nature to me. When providing walks or drop-in visits, I focus on giving your pet my full, undivided attention and maintaining the specific routine they need to feel secure. I am extremely detail-oriented. Whether it's following precise feeding instructions or ensuring your home is locked up tight, I pride myself on sending frequent photo updates so you always have peace of mind. My goal is to be the most dependable part of your pet's day while you are away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glenside
Daniel is a Cat Whisperer! I have not left my cats since they were born in my home over 5 years ago. I had no idea if they would even eat while I was away? Daniel's vibe is one of peace and compassion and he had matters well in hand! Even Mercy showed great progress; Daniel helped her overcome her inherent anxiety.
Lauren knocked my socks off like always. She treats my animals like they’re her own. I got constant text updates and beautiful pictures of my babies. I can tell that they were being well loved and taken care of, 10 out of 10 would recommend Lauren to anybody at any time.
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.
Nikki was very responsive and took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet before the service began. She did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again 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. 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 , 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 .

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.
