About: I've had cats for over 11 years and have been fostering for the past 7 months. Right now, my house is run by 5 resident cats and 5 foster cats. I just pay the mortgage. Between my own cats and fostering, I've learned that every cat comes with its own set of rules. Some want to be carried around like royalty. Some want you to admire them from six feet away. Some will scream for food as if they've never eaten a day in their lives. I'm comfortable with feeding, medications, litter box duty, playtime, and earning the trust of shy cats who prefer to pretend humans don't exist. I've cared for kittens, adults, seniors, and cats who needed a little extra patience while settling into a new situation. While you're away, I'll make sure your cat sticks to their routine, gets plenty of attention (if they want it), and has someone available to respond to any urgent meowing regarding an empty food bowl that is clearly still half full. I'll also send updates and photos, because I know you'll miss them. Your cat probably won't admit to missing you, but we'll keep that between us. 'm a stay-at-home parent and work part-time in the evenings, so I'm available during the day for pet visits and check-ins. Animal care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 5 resident cats and 5 foster cats, so feeding, cleaning, medications, and keeping up with different personalities is just part of everyday life. My schedule is flexible, and I'm used to planning my day around the needs of animals. I follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. During visits, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are cleaned, and pets get whatever attention they enjoy—whether that's playtime, brushing, treats, or simply having someone sit with them for a while. I'm comfortable giving oral medications if needed and always keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or litter box habits. As a cat owner and foster, I know that every cat is different. Some greet you at the door, and some prefer to supervise from across the room. I'm happy to go at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I also send updates and photos after visits so owners know how their pets are doing.
“Camden took great care of our cat who needed her insulin injection when we were away. He was very responsive to any questions I had. We will definitely use him again in the future!”

“Amanda made sure our cat Archie was well taken care of while away and even watered our outside flowers. We appreciate you and will definitely reach out to you on our next getaway!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I begged my mom and dad for a puppy of my own. I’ve taken care of family and neightbor hood dogs consistently since then and have volunteered at local dog shelters to help clean up and walk dogs. I have exprience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can’t wait to stop by an play with your pup!! Currently, I work in the afternoon and evenings (I work with kiddos) thus I am available mornings and early afternoon. I am available all day on weekends. I can talk your dog on a walk within your neighborhood. When I leave, I can crate your dog if necessary. I can also provide fresh water, food, and treats if directed.

About: I have owned animals all of my life. I currently have 4 dogs (2 labs, one rat terrier mix, and a corgie), a cat. In the past I've owned labs, Samoyeds, birds, fish, and a multitude of cats. I have a huge heart for animals and love to spoil them. The joy and love that animals bring to our hearts is unmatched. I work for a school, so I do have summer's off; meaning that I will have plenty of time to play with pets. During the school year, I am available after 3pm for afternoon walks. I will always choose what you prefer and what is best for you dog. I am not offering to have dogs stay in my home, due to the chaotic nature of my home. I will gladly walk your dog or play with them during the day. I will be sure to monitor wheather conditions and make the best choice for your pet.

“Theresa was fantastic! Her responses were timely & it's obvious she both loves and has experience with animals. Even while my shy cat was hiding, Theresa was able to get her out to pet her and have her take her nightly pill! Definitely reccomend.”

“Anna and her Mom are so warm and friendly and I felt at ease with them immediately. It was my first time using a pet sitter for my 12 year old cat. They were wonderful caring for her and did an outstanding job. I highly recommend them!”

About: Hi! My name is Bree, and I am a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to help care for your pets while you're away. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. Currently, our family shares our home with a dog, a cat, and a flock of chickens, so I am comfortable caring for a variety of animals and understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. My husband and I live in Zionsville with our three children, and we stay actively involved in our community. I work at our local middle school during the school year and have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer extensively with my children's activities. I serve as the treasurer for my daughter's club soccer team, help my husband run our youth lacrosse program, and enjoy participating with my son in Boy Scouts. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, or a walk, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am on summer break from our local middle school where I work during the school year. I am available Monday thru Fridays, morning/afternoon/evenings, and occasionally on weekends. I am available for daily drop-in visits and check-ins to feed, walk, play with, and give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet needs a potty break, exercise, playtime, fresh water and food, or simply a friendly visit while you're away, I am happy to help.
About: I have loved and taken care of pets all of my life. Currently, I have a 7 year old pit mix named Hoagie. I am willing to do pretty much anything to keep a pet happy and healthy! My own pets are spoiled rotten. My family has fostered and rescued all sorts of animals ranging from puppies to squirrels and even deer. Growing up I had goats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, turtles and fish along with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with any age or size dog and any sort of other animal there is. I also worked at Petsmart for some time and was trained in pet care and safety. My entire life I have had dogs and all sorts of other pets and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making their little tails wag. I am currently working full time out of the Quakertown area. Mon-Fri I typically work 8-5pm. Sat & Sun are open. I am available for drop ins and walks any day before or after those times. On my off days, I am available any time. Keeping a close eye on your pet while you’re away is of the up most importance. If your pet needs crating, training or just to get some energy out, I want to make sure it’s in a safe and enjoyable environment.
About: Hello! My name is Maya. I am born and raised in the Lehigh Valley. My number one priority as a sitter is to assure your animals are cared for, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. Leaving your animals can be a stressful thing and I want to make sure you can escape worry free! I love spending time with animals and I look forward to my phone lighting up with a Rover booking gig. I currently work as a night shift neonatal ICU nurse, so my availability is different every week, but I will try my best to accommodate requests. I personally have one cat right now. His name is Oswald. He’s a beautiful, cuddly black cat that has my whole heart. I grew up with dogs and they have always had my whole heart until I moved into my own place as I got older and rescued some cats. I didn’t ever have a cat before, but learning their personalities, I can truly say I am a cat and dog person! I love spending time with everyone’s animals, and I am the person that will pet and say hi to every animal I pass.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem
Absolutely Wonderful Cat Care! 🐾❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our 2 kittens and our adult cat! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Our cats were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. The communication was wonderful, and we truly appreciated all the updates and attention to detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.😸😻😸

Hailey is the best! She always takes great care of my cat, sends photos which gives me peace of mind, and even cleaned up a hairball for me and was willing to do a last minute emergency visit when I broke my elbow. 10/10 cannot recommend her enough. 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 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 Meet & Greet .

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.
