“Courtney was willing to check in our our girls with little notice and did a phenomenal job. My pets were loved and cared for and she sent great updates. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I was a care taker of a dog for 12 years so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and taking dogs on walks. I also was a care taker of a cat for 5 years. I was in charge of giving the cat food, water, and doing the cat’s litter box. I have been pet sitting/ house sitting for almost two years and have done countless house sitting jobs. My work schedule right now is Monday, Thursday, and Friday 9 AM - 5:30 PM and Tuesdays and Wednesday 11:30 AM - 8:00 PM. I’m available on weekends too. I’m also willing to spend the night to make sure your pet gets the best care. I have a ton of experience with keeping dogs safe as I use to care for my dog for 12 years. I make sure they don’t eat anything that is unhealthy for me and I make sure they don’t get in any danger
“We loved having Ali take care of our cat! She did an amazing job with her and always communicated with me promptly on how she was doing or if she had any concerns. She also has a wealth of knowledge giving us more comfort in leaving our pet with her. Would highly recommend!”
About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.
“Lydia is AWESOME! She went above and beyond as our sitter. Not only did she hanging out with our kitty but she also brought my packages out of the rain. Lydia was really kind and quickly won over my grumpy cat. She’s a keeper for sure!”
“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”
“Melissa was great! Super attentive to our 2 anxious fur babies and very detailed in letting us know what happened. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Bucky and Natasha greatly appreciated it 😺😺”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was in middle school. I have had a variety of personal pets, as well as cared for more than just dogs and cats. I will be honest with you about what I am comfortable with, if your pet has extra needs. i love communication and want your baby to be safe! Whether you need someone weekly or just a drop in, I am happy to accommodate! I currently have tons of free time and can work with you! I will always discuss how the pets normal routine and how I can help keep your baby loved and safe. I always send pictures to the owner when I am with their pet.
“Cassandra was absolutely wonderful with my kitty! She was so patient with my shy girl, sent pictures and videos every day, and took amazing care of her. I 10/10 recommend her for pet care!!”
About: If you’re looking for someone to adore your pet and build special trust with them then I am here! I am a lifelong animal lover. I have cared for close friends’ animals for years, as well as housesat for coworkers. I currently have one cat who has been with me for 8 years. My former roommate has an Australian cattle dog and I would often take care of him when she was gone! I also frequently house and dogsat for another friend with a lovely black lab mix and energetic dachshund. Plenty of experience taking care of cats as well. No matter the situation I look forward to meeting your babies and putting your worries at ease while you’re away I am working part time in healthcare Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I work 9-6 pm and am available for early morning and evening walks and check ins. On my off days I will be dedicated to your babies and would enjoy getting outside with them too! I am happy to care for them in your home where they feel most comfortable! I am unable to house any additional pets in my home at this time
“Wonderful pet (cat) sitter! Olive was very comfortable with Olivia. Maybe too comfortable bossing her around begging for treats and scratches. 😹 Great communication and pics/videos sent to us too! Will book again. 👍🏻”
About: I've spent several years caring for animals through both my education and professional experience. I am currently studying veterinary medicine at UTCVM, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats, recognizing signs of illness, understanding animal behavior, and learning proper restraint techniques to keep pets safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens, senior pets, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and can carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently a student at UTCVM, so visits during the week would be before class and after class. On the weekends, I am open to almost everything that fits your pets schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pet with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before taking pets outside and never allow off-leash walks unless they're in a safely enclosed area and you've specifically requested it. I understand that every pet is different. Some love to play and be active, while others simply want companionship and a calm environment. I adjust my care to meet each pet's individual needs and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Communication is also very important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.
“She sent us pictures and updates from every visit and made a concentrated effort to befriend them. It made it possible for us to take a much needed vacation and not worry about our how our kitties are doing! Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have worked with dogs in different settings. Dog grooming, vet office, boarding, and personal. I can administor medication and take care of all ages. I'm currently between jobs and have plenty of time during the day to care for your pet. I can stop by and play or do quick drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your dog company. I can take your dog on walks or bring toys to play with them at your house.
About: I love dogs; I'm that person that gets really excited and always tries to pet every dog I encounter in life. So I perceive this as a highly enjoyable and also profitable opportunity for myself. I've had dogs almost my entire life, and have been taking care of them about that long. I currently just have one dog, a little white terrier mix I found on the side of the road in Maryville, named Ma-tilt-ta(Tilts). I recently lost my beloved girl, Chloe, a 10-year-old lab pit mix fairly recently, so I'm missing having another pup around the house. Since I'm not quite ready to commit to another furbabe for myself just yet I would love to get some extra quality fluffer time until I make the plunge! It breaks my heart to see an animal cooped up inside for too long so I do my best to accommodate to the fact that dogs need to go out, in my opinion, every 4-5 hours. Let me love your dog when you aren't able to. About me: I am a recent college graduate on a full-time job hunt, with reliable transportation to get wherever I need to go. I have a couple part time jobs, but they are all pretty flexible so I have a pretty open availability until I find something more full time.
“Jessica dropped in on our dogs for a week while we were out of state, and I couldn't have been happier with choosing her! She was prompt, played lots with the dogs, made sure they were happy, and let me know when there were any unexpected things that happened! We got lots of pictures and updates! We will be coming back to her first in the future! Couldn't recommend enough!”
About: I've had both cats and dogs my whole life and I have been boarding and walking dogs through River for about three years now! I recently relocated to Knoxville and am excited to take on new clients to spend time with their fur babies and treat them as my own! Lots of treats and lots of love involved typically 🤗 I am able to walk dogs or drop by and check on your dog or cat any time of the week or weekend! I am flexible so I can fit whatever day or time works best for my clients. I do not currently board in my home. If I come to your home to watch after your pet, I am very respectful of your home and the items in it. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible and maintain their regular eating schedule. I will ensure they have access to drinking water at all times and get frequent potty breaks, every two hours or so. We will go for walks, if permitted, and spend extra time with play toys and cuddles!
About: If you’re looking for someone to check in on your pet or take them for a walk, I’ve got you covered. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I have a pup of my own so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your pet. Every drop-in and walk gets my full attention. I’d love to help keep your pet happy, entertained, and well-exercised! I work full time but I have time for walks early in the morning or in the evenings. I am also willing to stay at your home and take care of your pet while you are out of town. I would come to your home to take care of your pet. Whatever your pet needs I will be willing to provide. Whether it’s medication, daily walks, or some chill time, I am ready.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Heiskell
Alexandra was wonderful with Queen. She was communicative, punctual, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions. Giving fluids solo is not easy, and she handled it confidently while keeping me updated with photos. Queen seemed relaxed and well cared for. I would definitely book Alexandra again.

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.

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 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.
