“Britt did an excellent job caring for our 3 pets, one of which has medical needs. Very professional, responsive when messaging, and providing photos of our fur babies. Highly recommended her!!!!”
“Highly recommended Sheree and Boyd. They have taken care of my cats multiple times and have gone well beyond my expectations. Contacted me daily to let me know how the cats were doing and helped out around the house with basic housekeeping such as picking up mail etc. I will definitely reach out to them for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. Our dogs were so loved and well taken care of. We appreciated the pictures and updates she provided. We will definitely consider hiring her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Located in Petal, near the Library area 😊 Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in covered fence backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.
“it was my first time using an outside Cat Sitter other than family members so I was quite nervous. Carly turned out to be wonderful. She was reliable, super friendly, and my baby took to her immediately I would highly recommend her as I plan on using her for any of my upcoming trips.”
“Kennedy did such a great job taking care of my cat! She has incredibly flexible hours and sent me a ton of pictures while I was on vacation. I seriously did not worry about my pet while I was away, and am so grateful that I didn't have to put my unusually skittish cat up for boarding for a week. I'd definitely use her again!”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, reptiles and fish since I was 10 years old. I am caring, dependable and trustworthy. Most of all, I love animals of all kinds. Animals are my first love, and I will make myself available to take care of your fur baby, reptile or home. Although they will miss you, I will love them almost as much as you do! I have lots of time on my hands and love in my heart, and I will care for your baby in my home or yours…whichever is better for you. I have a large yard and love taking care of animals of all kinds.
“Victoria does an excellent job with my dogs! She is punctual, responsible, and very loving towards my pets. She was always flexible and went above and beyond to make sure the needs of both of my dogs were met. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. She is great with my senior dog and my lab puppy too. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time, if not more, for most of my life. I’ve had 4 cats. I also grew up with nine goldfish caught from the fair that are all still alive today. I currently have one family dog, one family cat, and nine goldfish. I am a full time student at USM and an active member of the sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I will make this job one of my top priorities. At home, my dog is well trained and she is an outside and inside dog. She loves going on boat rides and we make sure that she gets plenty of love all the time. For clients, I will precisely follow instructions and treat the client’s pet like my own.
About: A recent graduate of Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine with a bachelor's in Veterinary Medical Technology! I have had pets all my life and have gained experience while in school and through volunteering, and now through currently working at a local vet office as a technician. I also have experience in pet sitting at owner's houses and through repeat clientele for pet sitting and walking. I would love to gain additional experience through pet sitting/walking. I recently graduated from the Vet Tech program at MSU and currently work at a local vet office, so this allows me to take care of pets full time on the weekends! I can also do late afternoon walks or drop ins during the weekdays after work! With experience in pet sitting and walking, I’m ready to keep your fur baby entertained or, if they prefer, just relax and give them cuddles!
About: I love all pets like they are my own. My kids and dog love pets. We love outdoors and would love to give my kids more experience with other animals outside of our own. I am available almost everyday all day long. When I need to run out for usually no more than an hour. I am just a loving pet owner that would like to help bring in additional income while having fun and spending time with my family. I can not wait to meet your dog and love on them. All animals must show proof of vaccinations being up to date. As well as be on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. I work from home right now with plenty of free time to come to play with your fur babies. I can house sit every other weekend. Willing to come to you or pet whenever needed to assist in all daily activities. Also willing to house sit in your home if needed.
About: Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I live on a 7 acre rural homestead with lots of room to walk dogs. We do not have a fence so visiting dogs will always be on leash. I have a large room set aside as my petsitting room so that your pet can move around freely and we can have plenty of room to play and snuggle. My personal pets love other animals and are always up to date on vetting, so if they are compatible, they are more than welcome to romp and play with my fun crew! I currently work from home as a part time tutor and homesteader, so I am available to give your pets all the attention they need. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby. Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all! I have one rescue dog who is very timid and dog friendly. She sometimes comes with me when I dogsit and sometimes stays at home with my partner, just depending on the situation.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of pets for years. I currently work from home and make my own hours so I am available to feed, walk, play, etc with your pets whenever you need me. I have a fenced in yard and large dog crates on our patio that the dogs sleep in at night, we also have heater out there so the dogs don’t get cold.
About: I’m great at giving medicine, cat and dogs alike, as i’ve done it personally with my own pets and others pets. I’m good at following owner directions and paying attention to certain changes in pets. I’ve never met an animal who hasn’t loved me! I am coming back home from school and will be free anytime someone needs me! I’m more than happy to adjust to last minute plans if someone is in need for a pet sitter. I’m great at following instructions and learning each individual pet and their needs. Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their pets so you can trust me with your fur baby! If a pet needs medication, certain feeding instructions, or specific instructions, I am reliable and willing to help!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
