“Shelby is so good with our Tug who is a sweet but anxious dog. Shelby stayed with Tug a few weeks ago for a week and he has become fond of her. Today he remembered her and welcomed her back.

“Suzanne took such great care of our pets! She was really communicative and let us know she was concerned about one of our cats not eating (due to missing us.) It was the first time we left our pets in the hands of someone through Rover and Suzanne exceeded our expectations! We are so thankful to her.”
About: I have been around and/or cared of dogs since I was 10. Dogs have always been a part of my life. I have always had 1-2 dogs in my household at a time so I am used to multitasking while providing equal attention. I often watch my older brothers dogs when he goes out of town, he has 3 dogs (2 Bernedoodles and 1 soft coated wheaten terrier). I have experience with provide care to puppies up until senior dogs. I am trustworthy, lovable, reliable and always notify owners if I have questions/concerns. I also have experience with administering medications to pets and taking them for grooming/vet appointments.

I make sure they are fed on time, have plenty of water, play with them and go for walks, and also am able to crate your pet if needed.
“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”
“Patrick was wonderful! He kept me up to date with Dunkin and Dunkin enjoyed having him pop in and check on him. I would highly recommend Patrick and can’t wait to book him again.”
“Katie was amazing with our cats!! We have one very social cat who loved making a new friend and one typical scaredy cat and Katie helped take all our travel nerves away taking such great care of both our cats. We loved seeing the notes and pictures each day! Would highly recommend Katie 🙂”
“She was absolutely wonderful! She made both of our cats feel comfortable and cared for from the very beginning. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She kept us updated and treated our cats like they were her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. We’ll absolutely book with her again!”
“Robin did a fantastic job checking-in and walking my dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures of the pets while she was at the house and gave a summary of her visit once she left. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable person to look after their pets.”
About: I’ve had such a variety of animal care in my life! I work as a wildlife keeper and have a zoo of my own. I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, a fish, and 2 birds! Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart and I’m comfortable with medications/clinic care as well. Hire me if your pets need an excessive amount of love! During the colder seasons, I have flexible hours and only work 30 hour weeks. I can’t get enough when it comes to animals and animal care in general. Everyday I find joy in taking care of animals, whether that means my own, my patients, or yours! Having so many animas of my own, I’m very familiar in animal behavior and safety. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs of my own and balancing cat dynamics. I have experience in doggy daycare as well and would have 20+ dogs under my supervision at a time.
“Ashley was awesome! She took really good care of our dog and two cats while we were out of town for our wedding. We will definitely use her again! She sent lots of pictures and communicated everything. Great job Ashley!”
About: I am a kennel technician at my local shelter and a current animal science student at the University of Illinois. I love all dogs and cats, especially those who need a little extra help! I’ve had great pet sitters for my past dog and would love to pass that on. I work part-time at the shelter currently. This is like my other part-time job. I am very flexible in my schedule and can most likely work around your schedule. I have two brothers in my home that also love animals. My dog also loves to have company. I do not have a fence, but I do have a large field and long tie-outs that I supervise the dogs on.
“Kathy provided excellent service for my kitty while I was out of town. She was very attentive to detail, and she gave me a complete sense of relief that we had this covered the next time I had to leave town. Will be using her again in the future. Thank you !!”

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.
