“Christa was fantastic watching my two kittens over the weekend. She sent photos and kept me posted each day. Everything was great and well-taken care of when we got home. I plan on booking her again for a trip we have planned this fall!”
About: I have pet sat & house sat the past few years. I worked at an animal shelter & currently work at an animal hospital and look forward to meeting your babies! I am currently working at an animal hospital so my hours are long. I have three days a week off though & would love to fit in your babies during those times. I have every Tuesday & Sunday off & most Saturdays. I am looking to drop in and hang out with your babies as needed. I can provide good quality time & lots of pictures & would treat them like they are my own!
“Logan does it again! Our 3 cats LOVE when he goes over and plays with them. Having him stop by while we’re on vacation helps us feel at ease. Thank you for caring for our babies like your own!!”
“Lindsay is an excellent cat sitter. From the very beginning, she was responsible, kind, and extremely attentive. She took wonderful care of my cats and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and happy while I was away. Lindsay kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. My first dog as an adult was Cody, a Pit Bull/Beagle mix who was truly one of a kind. Cody lived an incredible 17½ years as a 70-pound dog, and she was the best. Getting to care for her through every stage of her life taught me a lot about patience, companionship, and understanding that every animal has their own personality and needs. Today, my wife and I have two dogs of our own. Mo is our 6-year-old American Eskimo/Lab mix. She’s very shy at first, but incredibly sweet and loving once she gets comfortable. Gracie is our 3-year-old pocket American Bully, and she is basically the opposite of Mo. She’s full of energy, has absolutely no problem making herself known, and gives the best cuddles when it’s time to settle down. I also have three cats, and my wife and I foster dogs, so my home is definitely an animal-loving household! Fostering has given us experience welcoming dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, energy levels, and needs into my home and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I really enjoy being active with dogs, too. Dog walks are one of my favorite things, and I’m always happy to get outside and explore the neighborhood with a four-legged friend. For dogs who enjoy it, I also love taking them to the dog park for some exercise, playtime, and socializing. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal is different. Some need a little patience and space when meeting someone new, while others are ready to be your best friend the second you walk through the door. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal for who they are and making sure their individual routine and personality are respected. Whether your pet wants a long walk, a trip to the dog park, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to hang out with while you’re away, I’m happy to give them what they need. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. And because I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re doing well. Your pets are family. I truly believe that, and I’ll treat them that way. 🐶🐱❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my day easily. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m also available for overnight stays when your pets need a little extra company and care. I understand that consistency is important, especially for pets who are used to having their people around. I’m happy to work with you to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means a quick visit, a long walk, multiple visits throughout the day, or staying overnight. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to build my schedule around giving your pets the attention, companionship, and care they need while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pets in their home or staying overnight, my goal is to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re used to. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet needs. I love getting outside for walks and playtime, but I’m just as happy spending some quiet time with a pet who prefers to relax and cuddle. When staying in your home, I’ll treat your house with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pets are safe and comfortable, and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your time away. Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and give them the kind of care and attention that makes them feel at home while you’re gone
About: Hey, I’m Doug. I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve owned and loved several different breeds over the years, and right now I share my home with a big, lovable German Shepherd and a 16 year old calico cat who has a lot of sass and attitude. I’m also a dad of two, and while my kids are in school I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being outside, going on long walks, throwing the ball, and ending the day with plenty of snuggles. I’m very responsible and take pet care seriously, but I also try to keep things easy and fun. I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like they’re part of the family, I’d love to help out. I’m primarily available on weekdays between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, which lines up well with mid day check ins, drop ins, and visits while you’re at work. I’m also available some evenings, depending on the day. I can probably work with your schedule, just message me! I’m a parent of two, so I focus on providing reliable care during school hours and select evenings when I can give your pet my full attention. If you have a schedule question or a special request, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to talk through what might work best. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important familiarity is, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medication, litter box care, playtime, and any little quirks your pet might have. I always make sure your home is left just as I found it. Food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes are scooped, and I do a quick check to make sure everything looks safe and secure before I leave. I also spend time with your pet based on what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s playtime, gentle attention, or just calm company. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos so you know how things are going and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well cared for.
About: I have three cats of my own so I get the planning around feeding schedules, playtime, litter box maintenance, and all the little check-ins that help cats feel secure! I care for every cat the same way I care for my own: with a lot of patience, respect, and attention to their individual personalities. One thing I do when meeting a new cat is let them set the pace. Some cats are social right away, but others need a little space. I've learned earning a cat's trust is super important. Over the past year, I've spent a lot of time working on behavior training and confidence-building with my newest cat (Momo). This process has helped me learn a lot about clicker training, all sorts of enrichment games, and generally just how to read a cats body language. I'll always follow your care instructions and the routines that work best for your cats. And if you're interested, I'm also happy to share some of the things I've learned along the way from my own experience as a cat parent.
“We had a great experience with Sara. She was dependable, responsive and took excellent care of our pets while we were away! Communication was great- which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“My babies are both seniors with medical needs. Dru was wonderful with them, and her visit left them calm and content. This gives me peace of mind to know that if I need to be away, they’re in such caring hands!”
About: My main expertise over the years has been with big dogs and cats. I once sitted 4 cats and 1 Japanese Akita all at once. I work part-time at a hotel with the valet team so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! There will be many dog walks included! I have a two bedroom, two bath where my 3 cats roam freely. They’re on a great routine when it comes to eating and bed time. All 3 of them enjoy the company of dogs and/or other cats but if pets are needed to stay at my home, my cats can stay in their rooms. Whatever the client feels comfortable with.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8. My first dog was a very picky and persnickety Shih Tzu named Igor. I worked at a pet store retailer as a dog bather and have lots of experience with different dog breeds and all different coat types. I worked for Hollywood feed, where I learned a lot about pet nutrition and pet allergies. I pet sat for my neighbors while in school, they have two King Charles Cavaliers. One of which was diabetic. I have experience giving subcutaneous injections such as insulin as well as check blood sugar levels for dogs. Currently do not have a job, lost it due to unfortunate circumstances. I’m in the process of moving back home and searching for a job. Currently have a lot of free time to care for your furry children. This may change when I find steady employment. Currently moving back to my parents house. They have one dog, a Shih Tzu named Iggy. Super cute and eyelashes better than mine. I have two cats, Phantom and Azula, they are 2 and 1 year old. They generally sleep in my bed room. I also have a Border collie named Goose who can keep your high energy dog company. Goose is 10 months old right now. I also have a rabbit, Fawkes, he has his own space and generally does not interact with other animals. Fawkes has been around cats and is good with them. The house has a yard but is not fenced in. Lots of places to go on walks. More than willing to come to your home to let pets out, feed, walk or play with them.
“What a great experience for our first time using Rover. Mary- Lindsey was so attentive, sent pictures everytime she visited our babies. She spent ample time there making our Fir babies feel happy in her presence. She played with them and followed our directions to a tea! She was very communicative the entire time and made us truly feel like our kids were taken care of. We will use Lindsey again in a heartbeat!”
“She was amazing with my cat Piper for almost 2 weeks while we were in Colorado and Texas. I got daily updates on her behavior and pics. She made time for me to drop off and pick Piper up. Once we picked her up, all of her equipment, it was a lot bc I'm extra with my cat, was cleaned and packed up. I would definitely recommend and I would use again.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Amelia is great! She is reliable and communicates! There was a miscommunication of the dates needed but once we got that sorted everything went smoothly. I will definitely rebook Amelia again ☺️”
About: I take animal care seriously. We all need help in life, some people will need to work to keep their fur babies fed and happy! And I’m the girl to call when you’re away fulfilling that task or any task!! Everyone needs a getaway and needs assistance. And I’m your girl to call! My schedule is very open. I can work week days and weekends and over night for house sitting. I’m rarely unavailable so if you need someone like that, I’m your girl! I’m not equipped to be able to take care of peoples pets at home, due to having 2 cats of my own, so I will not be having peoples pets come in my house I’m so sorry!

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.
