“Kristen is incredible! She takes such good care of the pups, is always responsive, and leaves a great impression on the pups every time she visits. We will absolutely be booking with Kristen in the future.”
“Kendall is a superb, very reliable, pet-loving care-taker, who was excellent in looking after our three furry friends. She went beyond to take care of them and to make sure they were fed, clean, loved and cuddled. We absolutely recommend Kendall and would book her anytime again! Thank you so much for your great help!”

About: I have always been a dog mom, but in 2021 I adopted a cat too who had seizures. With over 15 + years of experience caring for my own pets and nurturing strays and community animals back in India, i bring genuine compassion, patience and deep understanding to pet boarding/ sitting. Its not just a service - its a heartfelt connection. Your pets will be treated like family, because that is how i have always cared for mine. I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to on-board pets at my place and look after them 24/7 . I live in a comfortable one bed apartment in Herndon. I have a great community where i can take the pet for a walk as well. I am very well versed with feeding pets and giving medicines if any. I am happy to board pets while parents are travelling. I will be sharing timely pictures with the pet parents of their fur babies and keep them updated. I make sure to follow care instructions carefully. I also get on greet and meet calls or set up direct meetings with pet parents to know them and their pets ( whatever suits the parents)
“Nalleli was wonderful! She accommodated my last-minute holiday weekend request and took great care of my three cats. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures during the visit, and gave me peace of mind my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Asher was absolutely amazing and so incredibly patient with my cat who can experience extreme separation anxiety. Every care step was followed and multiple pictures per visit were provided, leaving me fully at ease that my precious baby was being taken care of in the same way that I would have. Absolutely would love and fully plan to book again in the future!!”
“Carey is awesome and I am so happy to have found someone I trust coming into my home and taking care of my fur-baby. Taking care of a 9 week old puppy can be a handful, but Carey is a pro!! Great Rover card updates!”
“Shauna was fantastic! She really set my mind at ease when taking care of Stella while I was away. She was always very prompt and caring. She even took the time to wash out her food bowls so I appreciated that also. I will definitely be asking her if she can pet sit again in the future!”
“We had to travel unexpectedly for a family emergency and Laura was able check in with Lucy on such short notice. We ended up extending our trip twice and Laura was very kind to continue watching Lucy. During this difficult time, it was so nice to know that Lucy was being cared for and to know I didn’t have to worry about her. Thank you so much, Laura!”
“Manasa is so sweet and thorough in caring for my babies! She asked questions before, during, and after to ensure all their needs (and mine) were met. She promptly notified me when they were not on their best behavior. The picture updated really provided me with a peace of mind and I’ve already booked her for my next pet care. Thank you again so much for everything!”
“Heather sat for my cat Ivory in my home for 4 days while I was out of town. She is an excellent sitter and took very good care of Ivory. Heather fed Ivory, made sure she had plenty of water and cleaned her litter box as needed. She also spent much time playing with Ivory, which I know Ivory loves. Heather also helped with a minor flea problem Ivory is having. I highly recommend Heather and will book her again when needed.”

Maeghan was great! In addition to watching our cat, we unexpectedly needed to have someone drop our dog at a boarder. She was able to accommodate and handle that on top of the drop in visits we’d already scheduled which was a huge help. Would definitely book her again!
She was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with us carefully and thoroughly about our cats’ needs and made sure she understood all the details of their care. She always arrived as scheduled and was very attentive to how our cats were doing during each visit. We really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. Our cats became fond of her very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with her! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
Maya was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about doing a good job caring for my cat. I received consistent updates, photos, and notes, which gave me real peace of mind. She followed all care instructions carefully and kept everything clean and organized. I came home to a happy cat and would trust Maya to watch my pet again.
Nicole continues to be the greatest pet sitter and human being! Our furry baby Ozzie adores her and I swear he misses her when she’s not here! Nicole dealt with more than she should have during our most recent trip and had our backs through it all! Thank you so much, Nicole! You are so amazing and appreciated!

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.
