“Heather did an awesome job! She took really good care of my baby and went out of her way to build a bond with him. She sent daily pictures. I highly recommend her!”

“Cohlee really saved us in a last minute request to come and take care of my two boys multiple times over the weekend. I received great communication, photos, and confirmation the dogs were eating. My mind was at ease and I was able to enjoy a last minute vacation because of Cohlee!!!”
“Miles was not only very accommodating on last minute changes but also communicative with us through the 5 days we needed the drop in visits for our cats. They took great care of our babies, played and scooped the litter on daily basis. Plus the pictures and videos they sent us were supper adorable! We will definitely reach out to Miles again for future services.”
About: I had my dog from age 6-18 and I was her main caretaker. I taught her a lot of tricks, so I am familiar with a lot of common commands. She was so special to me, so I can ensure that I will always treat your pets with the most kindness and respect to honor that bond. I am currently going to college, but I have a lot of flexibility. It is summer so classes are not currently running, and I have more time to care for animals! While boarding, I have a fenced in yard as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. Either while boarding or pet sitting, I make sure that I learn their routines from you and make sure that I follow them as closely as possible.
“We are so lucky to have found Kim!! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She sends hilariously detailed reports of her visits with our cats and the fun they get up to. We completely feel at ease knowing she is looking after our cats. We can’t praise her enough!”
About: I am a friend to all animals!! I'm from Florida so I love all kinds of wildlife and have a big appreciation for nature and love to be outdoors, love to take dogs on long walks and go to the beach with them. I love all dogs big and small, so I can handle a few different dogs on a walk. I'm fine with any activity level, dogs who like to nap all day or dogs who need to be taken out multiple times. I am also the worlds biggest cat person as I currently am mom to 3 cats, Sasha, Isis, and Frank!! I do absolutely wonderful with cats and am very good at taking care of them and understanding their needs, their boundaries, and their social cues. I've also had bunnies, fish, turtles, and birds as well so my love for animals goes deep and I have experience with a lot. I understand how important they are to us so I would take care of any pet like they are my own and will make sure they are given lots of affection I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 7 am to begin taking care of my cats. I have availabilities 7 days a week. I can take 2-3 pets on for boarding at a time, depending on size. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them.
About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.
“Sam did a great job, despite Freddie's shyness. She sent me pictures of him (hiding) every day. I have cameras, so could see her coming and going and trying to lure him out to play. I hope to have her sit again next month.”

Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough.

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.
