“Marlyn did an exceptional job bonding with our kitties while we were away. Even our shy girl eventually warmed up to her and got the cuddles she needed in our absence. Before we left for our trip, Marlyn was extremely thorough and asked great questions to ensure her time with our girls went as smooth as possible. She also handled giving preventative inhaler treatments to both of our asthmatic kitties - which is not an easy task to do for cats! Her kindness and integrity shone through with every check-in and we are so grateful to her for everything she did. Thanks a bunch, Marlyn!”
“We have booked with Deanna previously and will be again in the future. Our cats have really warmed up to her and love her visits. It is nice knowing your fur babies are taken care of while you are away.”
“This is our second time booking Keisha to care for our cat, Lyra. Her communication is excellent, and we love receiving her daily updates and pictures. They always reassure us that Lyra is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We feel completely at ease when we're away, knowing Keisha is looking after her. I highly recommend Keisha to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing taking care of my sweet young cat. She was on time and entertain ed my cat so she would have some interaction duri g the day when I was out of town. She let me know if something in the house looked out of place. Excellent !”
About: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!
“This is our second year of having Taylor cat sit for us while on vacation and I just can’t say enough good things. I think our cats behavior says the most about the quality of her care - our least social cat is currently waiting by the door for her at her normal check in time, even though we’re home and he’s been fed and has all of his favorite things. I wouldn’t trust anyone else in my home and with my pets, I cannot recommend her enough! We are so lucky to get to work with her, if you’re in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter, this is your person.”
“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”
About: Hi, I’m Dustin! I bring 33 years of hands-on pet care experience and a lifelong love for animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently share my home with a sweet dog, two cuddly cats, and two wonderfully curious rats — so I’m no stranger to different personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, goofy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every animal like one of my own, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. From belly rubs and playtime to calm companionship and reliable care, your pets will be in gentle, experienced hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry (or whiskered!) family! I work full-time, but I still make plenty of room in my schedule for quality pet care. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and nights, as well as weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I make sure each pet gets reliable attention, consistent routines, and lots of love — even with a busy workweek. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I provide plenty of attention, supervised time, and cozy spots for resting. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space — feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time so they feel secure. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them, I always treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.
“Highly recommend Autumn! She truly cares deeply about animals. I had peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands— she even brought him a Christmas treat and toy which he loved!”

I am responsible for feeding, loving, entertaining, and sometimes bathing dogs. I am currently working part-time at a Doggy Daycare will being a student at Ohio State. I am able to take care of the dogs in my time between both. If your dog is able, I can also take them to work with me.

I can do anything needed for your dog to be happy.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years—both my own and others’—and I truly treat each animal like family. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and TLC.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to be flexible with pet drop-ins, walks, and in-home sitting. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening visits during the week, and have extended availability on weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or just cozy cuddle time. I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and leaving everything just as I found it. I’m mindful about doors, gates, and any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Trust is everything, and I work hard to earn it from both you and your pets.

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.
