“Andrea was amazing at keeping my moody cat over the weekend! Super accommodating as well when my flight home was delayed by three hours. Highly recommend!! Thanks Andrea”
“Responsible and very responsive sitter! I appreciate Hannah's attention to detail. She was available for a last minute request with this booking and was also able to come for an additional visit so I could extend my vacation. Thank you!!”
“Joanna is great. I appreciate the fact that she took the time to answer any concerns I had. My cat had a wonderful time with Joanna. My cat tends to be skittish and will starve himself if he is in a new place but after just a few days Joanna managed to bond with my cat. I loved the frequent updates and pictures she sends. Joanna goes above and beyond with her services. Your pet is safe with her.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.

About: When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone whose career has been built on compassion, responsibility, and exceptional care. As a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience, I understand that every living being deserves individualized attention, patience, and a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for others is second nature to me. Throughout my nursing career, I've specialized in caring for seniors and individuals with unique medical and emotional needs. Those same skills translate seamlessly to pet care. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or kitten, a senior needing extra patience, requires medication, has special needs, or simply thrives with extra love and attention, I have the experience and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been more than a job—it's a passion. In addition to nursing, I own and operate my own concierge nursing and pet care business, where trust, professionalism, and personalized service are the foundation of everything I do. I know leaving your pet behind can be stressful. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by treating your dog or cat like a member of my own family. You'll receive dependable communication, regular updates, and the reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved from the moment they arrive. My commitment is to provide the same level of compassion, attention, and professionalism that I would want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nurse three days a week, which allows me plenty of flexibility and dedicated time on my days off to focus on pet care. On my off days, I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for by making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and any needed special care or medication. Because I’m used to working in a caregiving profession, I’m very organized and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, unhurried care so each pet gets the attention they deserve, whether that’s extra walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to their normal routine. I provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I offer drop-in visits, daily care, and overnight stays, as well as boarding in my own home where pets are welcomed into a safe, calm, and loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and any special routines are handled with consistency and care. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care throughout the day. In all settings, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and genuine love. I also believe in clear communication, so I provide regular updates and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.
“Gary is the best cat sitter I have ever hired! He showed extreme care and conscientiousness in his responsibilities as my cats' caregiver, always on time, followed all my instructions, and communicated exceedingly well. I never worried once while I was away, and I would give Gary 10 stars if I could!”
About: Hi, I'm Kelly!! 🐾 I'm a teacher in Somerset and a HUGE animal lover. I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind, so I make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you're away. I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs,who I love and adore and help my daughter take care of her 3 cats. For Dogs: Lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and routine — from energetic pups to sweet seniors, I adjust to their needs. Daily photo & video updates so you don't miss a thing! For Cats: Quiet, cozy care on THEIR terms. No forcing cuddles — just fresh litter, fresh water, playtime (if they want it), and lots of love in their own comfy space. I'm reliable, patient, & respectful and I treat every pet like family. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet — I'd love to meet your fur baby! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work as a teacher in North Brunswick, so I do drop-ins and walks before school (6-8am), after school (3:30-7pm), and all day on weekends. I live nearby and can do flexible midday visits if needed. I'm super reliable and always send photo updates! I treat your home with total respect — I stick exactly to your pet's routine for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and medications. I make sure doors and gates are always secured, water bowls are always full, and your pet gets one-on-one love and attention. I tidy up after myself, bring in mail/packages, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your baby and home are safe.
About: Craft an engaging "About Me" Tell pet owners about the love and care you’ll provide for their pets. Don’t be afraid to brag about your pet care experience, special skills, your personal qualities, and how you will keep their pets happy and safe. What sorts of activities will a dog enjoy on a stay with you? Where will you go on walks? What fun activities will you do together? What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences? Do you know dog first aid and/or CPR? Yes No Can you administer oral medication to dogs? Yes No Can you administer injected medication to dogs? Yes No Do you have experience taking care of senior dogs? Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I’m organized, reliable, and attentive to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. In a client’s home, I respect and follow each owner’s routines, feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special instructions to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I am mindful of their behavior, body language, and safety during walks and visits, and I always ensure pets have fresh water, supervision, affection, and a clean environment. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I provide updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the care being provided.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I work from home so I’m always available for your fur baby. I live in Flemington with a big fenced in yard which is great for running around and play time.

She is a 12 pound Havanese who loves other dogs. She will play and love your fur baby while they are in my home. I do prefer to watch smaller dogs that are under 40 pounds if possible. Thank you. I work from home so I have lots of time to take the dogs out in the backyard, play with them and go on leashed walks. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours the same.

“I’ve had some wonderful pet sitters but Diana is by far the best . Super communicative, thorough, attentive and always made sure to come in and check on Lily during the day. I have found that when I am away for longer than 2-3 nights my cat gets lonely and paces, so I wanted someone who was able to stay overnights, and I couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you, Diana, for taking such great care of Lily - she definitely enjoyed your company and it was amazing to enjoy my vacation and not worry!”

I’m so grateful to have had Xingcheng take care of my little crew while I was away for a whole month! She took such wonderful care of my sweet cat Susu, my betta fish, and my houseplants. Being away from home for that long can be stressful, but knowing they were all in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. One of my favorite things was getting the absolute cutest photos of Susu after every visit! She somehow managed to capture the most adorable moments, and those pictures genuinely made my day every time. 🥹❤️ You can really tell how much she cares about the pets she looks after. I came home feeling so thankful for all the love and attention she gave Susu and the rest of my little crew. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her in a heartbeat! 💕
I have known Kriti for over 3 years now. She goes above and beyond expectations always. Follows all my directions. She genuinely loves and cares for our cat which is a huge blessing when we’re away. Travel has been easier knowing our pet is in good hands. Thank you Kriti for all that you do ❤️
We’ve booked with Brittany a bunch of times now and she always does an excellent job with our pets! She updated us throughout the whole time we were away and we knew our crew was well taken care of! She’s super personable, punctual, and great with our pets!! We will definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!
Kevin took care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend! He was always quick to respond, arranged the meet and greet, and took amazing care of my babies! He went above and beyond each visit, both completing everything on the list and giving the two of them plenty of individualized love and attention. I will definitely be using Kevin again any time I need a cat sitter!

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 .

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
