About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now, including pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, from energetic pups to shy or older pets. I always focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and happy. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to being reliable and on time. I’m available for regular visits, pet sitting, or last-minute bookings when possible, and I always make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by caring for them in their own home, where they feel most secure. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a clean and respectful environment, and make sure doors, gates, and routines are always handled with care. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. I have experience with Senior as well young pets. I have experience giving pet medications because I have done it for my personal pets for years. I am a retired in person teacher but I still teach online. If my schedule allows, I would love to help you out. I know it’s important to keep animals in a familiar routine so let me help while you are out of town or at work. I have 3 longhair dachshunds that love other small dog company. I have a fenced in yard but I have exercise pens that can be used at your discretion. If I come to your place I will follow your typical schedule or routine.
“So thankful for Bailey! We are a military family and far away from any friends or family... finding someone we can trust whole heartedly with our home and our senior cat just really means the world. Bailey has 6+ years experience (possibly more) working/ volunteering with animals and it really shines. When we first met for our "meet and greet", she was very attentive, asked questions, and made a connection with our cat immediately! During our vacation, we were so relieved to see pictures often and get updates about him. Bailey is a superstar communicator. AND by the time we got home (to our astonishment) she had earned enough of his trust that he would let her pick him up!!! Our cat is a grumpy old guy so this was totally surprising. Let your cat choose- they'll pick Bailey!”
“Amazing! My cat had the best time, I got photos sent to me of her often. She got lots of love and play time. When I picked her up she slept the whole way home.”
“Fran is great! She cared for our 4 pups with the utmost care and respect. She updated me as soon as she arrived. She sent me photos and gave me behavioral updates. Fran followed our directions for feeding, training and special care for our dogs. Fran also gave me an update as she was leaving to let me know how the visit went. Our dogs seem to really enjoy her company. When I arrived home, I could tell how appreciative our dogs were for Fran’s visit. They were quiet, calm, and acted like they had a fun day while I was at work. Fran is a kind, reliable, and honest animal sitter! Thank you so much, Fran”
About: My volunteer rescue experience has allowed me to gain exposure to many kinds of cats, medical care best practices, and observe cats at many stages of life. I've slept on the bathroom floor with kittens, feeding them from a dropper and weighing them every six hours. I've domesticated feral cats through long-term fostering. My favorite type of cats are senior cats, and I have a lot of experience administering meds and showing them love. I am a graduate student who works remotely most of the time. I'm available during the day and at night every day of the week, especially given enough notice. I take pet (and person!) safety and client trust very seriously! I aim to care for your pet as you would. If you're on vacation, I want your pet to feel like they are being pampered, too. Not only does giving them extra love and attention help them while you're away but (as a cat owner myself), I know it will give you peace of mind as well!
About: I have been pet/house sitting for family and friends for 5 years now. I have worked in childcare(babysitting nannying, etc) for even longer so I consider the transition to be beneficial and seamless. I am a full time student and have a part time afternoon job. This gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets needs throughout the day! I am dependable and will take care of the needs of your pet no matter how specific. I care about making your pet feel as in their normal routine as possible.

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.
