“Erik did a great job doing drop-ins for our cat! He communicated regularly with us and was very easy to work with & there were zero issues. :) I'd recommend him!”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs for my entire life! I love every size and breed, and appreciate the differences between each animal. I have raised young pups/kittens and taken care of 13+ year old dogs/cats. I also have experience with dogs and cats that are not spayed or neutered. I grew up with four dogs and three cats all under one roof, so I have no problem taking care of multiple fur babies at once. I start student-teaching on 8/24, so I will only be available 3-9 during the weekdays. I am completely willing to stop by after school to walk or check on your furry friend. I have Sundays completely free and am able to help anytime! I have two friendly cats that were raised with dogs and other cats. They mostly keep to themselves but love to socialize with other animals. I will treat each animal like my own!
“Meghan was so wonderful to our home and our boy, Walter! She was very communicative and helpful; we got a bad storm and Meghan had made plenty of arrangements to be sure she could take care of Walter and even went above and beyond to offer help if our flights were delayed. Walter was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was also in great shape. Can’t wait to have her watch him again on our next trip!”
“Ashleigh went above and beyond. We truly cannot say enough good words about our experience or her care. We needed help in the eleventh hour in order to go on our honeymoon. She was AMAZING and we could really enjoy our time away knowing she would take great care of our cat. He needs insulin every twelve hours and she never missed a single shot. She played with him, cuddled him and just overall did an excellent job. So flexible when certain needs changed and very understanding. We would 100000% book her again.”
“Tiffany helped us with taking care of our cat Craig for a couple weeks until we were able to move into our new place. He can be an anxious cat but she was great about introducing him slowly and he was obviously very comfortable when we came to pick him up. Craig received lots of love and attention in her care, and I appreciated the daily pics and updates about how he was settling in. Highly recommended and will definitely reach out again if we're ever in need of boarding for our animals!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I currently care for two dogs and two cats of my own. That hands-on, everyday experience means I'm attuned to pet behavior and know how to keep animals calm, happy, and on their routine when their owners are away. Growing up with pets also gave me a strong foundation in recognizing when something seems off, whether it's a change in appetite, energy, or mood so, you can travel with peace of mind knowing your home and pets are in attentive, loving hands. I currently work a regular full-time schedule that wraps up by early afternoon on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. Weekends vary, but I'm always mindful of scheduling around my availability to make sure your pets get the attention they deserve. I only take on sits I can fully commit to; your pets and home will always be my priority when I'm booked. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I stick to your pet's established routines, feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'm attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will always reach out if something seems off. You can expect regular updates and photos so you stay connected to your pets no matter where you are.
About: I’ve been taking care of and loving my own animals and my family’s animals since I was young and they’ve trusted me since I was a teenager to help take care of their animals and walk them when they are gone I take care of my own pets daily and make sure they get lots of enrichment. I love any and all animals and have always wanted to help other people take care of their animals when they need it I have a very friendly dog of my own but not a friendly cat so I will have to pet sit in your home for your pets safety and my cats safety. I make sure my animals are fed and taken care of properly and I’m not afraid to clean up messes when needed

Madison is AMAZING!! She has watched our cat and birds several times now and always makes sure they are well taken care of! We know we can trust and rely on her and she is great at communicating. She leaves detailed notes on how the visit went and we love the pictures she sends 💗 Would recommend her to anyone!
Ashlyn is the best and she does such a good job!! I think I have booked her 5x now and she has done a great job every time. She also sends the best pictures! My cats don’t even care when I get home from a trip because they have been getting so much love from her lol

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
