“Carrie was absolutely wonderful! She was so dependable and we were completely at ease knowing she was caring for our cats. She sent pics each visit and our Twilight clearly loved her bc he snuggled her and our more shy cat seemed to warm up as well and even remained out of her hiding spot at times during visits. Rare! We so appreciate Carrie. She really cared so well for them. She kept us posted and excellent communication. Would love to book her again.”
“Megan is phenomenal! She is polite, professional, prompt and easy to work with. She took care of my cat while I away and did a great job; I really felt he was in good hands. She spent time giving him attention and pet rubs at each visit …I know he will miss her so much that if he could, I am certain he would follow her home. I will definitely reach out to Megan again for future pet sitting and I highly recommend her—you won’t be disappointed.”
About: i’ve taken care of every kind of dog since i was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to walk, feed, and bathe their beloved pets. I’m currently in school for dog training Pet care is part of my everyday life as a dog mom of 3. I’m used to caring for all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit walks, drop-ins, and extra attention into my day. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet will always be in reliable, experienced hands with me! In my home, pets get plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable space to relax. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. If I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their pet’s environment calm, familiar, and stress-free. I always give lots of attention, positive reinforcement, and gentle structure. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, cared for, and at home, wherever they are.
“Tricia took such good care of Monty while we were away! I have never seen our cat, Monty take to someone so quickly as he did to Tricia. She was on time, and provided amazing care. I reached out to a many sitters a week before we went out of town and Tricia was the only one to reach back out. We will definitely be booking her again as we and Monty love her!! Thank you for the card and treats you left us and Monty!”
“Kristy was the most perfect pet sitter for our kitty, Bear. This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been a better experience. After meeting with Kristy we knew it’d be a great fit and that was clear during her visits with Bear. We received detailed updates with each visit, along with pictures and videos. There was no doubt that Bear loved the check in visits with Kristy!”
About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.
“5 Stars for Briea!!! Briea is reliable, punctual, and took excellent care of my little girl, Charlie. She’s very attentive and detail oriented. I would highly recommend Briea and I will definitely be requesting her in the future.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, from 8-week-old puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats up to 13 years old, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at any stage of life. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care. No matter their age or personality, I’m ready to give them the attention they deserve! I am currently working full time Monday-Friday, but have the ability to work from home a day or two a week! I usually leave for work at 7:30am and get off by 5pm. Depending on how close you are to my office, I may be able to stop by at lunch as well. I am comfortable with all pets of any size, personality, or energy levels. I will care for them like they are my own and go above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and loved!
“We had such a wonderful experience with Maria watching our cat! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. She spent lots of quality time with her and sent us frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving to care for their pet. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Aubrey was excellent with our cat Roo. She cared for her as if she were her own. Very gentle and loving. Played with her A LOT and alerted us to a few possible issues. She is very knowledgeable about cat behaviors and habits. She took excellent care of our home as well. Very responsible and personable.”
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”
About: I’ve had experience with cats and dogs my whole life. My family has had various breeds of dogs from ragdoll, Pom, and weenie- to Rottweiler and German Shepard. I have experience with big and small dogs and have enjoyed them all. I’ve learned each pet like humans has their own individual needs, worries/ anxiety, etc. I have had just as much experience with cats of various personalities- and have loved each one of them. I can ensure your furry loved one will be in safe, loving, and thoughtful care! ♥️ I’m a mom and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always had a special bond with animals. My days are centered around creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. If care is provided on weekdays, it would likely involve my son being around as well since he is part of my daily routine. He is gentle, respectful, and loves animals just as much as I do. Any interactions with pets would always be supervised, and I would make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow their routines and give them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re away from their family. I know being in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I like to keep their routine as normal as possible by following their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any instructions you provide. Every pet has their own personality, and I want to take the time and effort to know what makes them feel happy and secure.
About: I have owned multiple dogs from a young age, and have been responsible for feeding and walking them. I also have a bachelor's degree in Zoology, the study of animals. I'm looking for work currently, so I have plenty of free time. I am available at any time of day at any day of the week. I look after my two dogs, whom I walk, feed and give attention as needed. I have two fairly high-maintenance dogs who need a lot of love and activity. I will give your pets plenty of attention as well as their other special needs.
“Meghan is great! This is the second time she has watched one of my fur babies. She watched my 5 year old pit-Shepard-husky mix right after his TPLO surgery which was amazing since he needed a lot of care and TLC. She dropped in on our 15 year old cat while we were on vacation twice a day for 6 days to feed and give her love. She is very responsive, flexible, reliable and caring. We will definitely use Meghan again. Thanks!”
About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.
About: Been around dogs since I was little and offically took care of them when I was 8. Animals all around have been welcomed into my life whether they have four legs or not. Currently I am not working so it gives me more time to take care and play with your furry friends! I am available almost all hours of the day and can be contacted at anytime if in need of anything! I can easily bathe, clean, feed, brush, refill water for cats along with taking the time to play with them to ensure their daily enrichment for the day. For dogs I can easily help by simply brush, feeding, playing, being put into their crates, or even walking when needed to get their exercise and let them use the bathroom.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gum Tree
Hannah was amazing to work with! We had issues with timing using our current sitter, but she spared no time setting a meet and greet and helping to fulfill our needs while we went out of town for a wedding. She provided consistent updates during each visit, good communication and very fair pricing. Highly recommend her for your needs!
Catie took care of our cats while we were away to get married. She was great at communicating, while also making me feel relaxed during a stressful time. This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad our first time was with Catie. Our cats are our babies and we felt like they were safe and happy when she was with them.

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.
