“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands. Chelsea was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to put a smile on our faces each time. This was our first time with Rover and we will absolutely be using this service again AND specifically asking for Chelsea!”
“Kara was wonderful at communicating how my two kitties were while I was away on vacation. She came and met them beforehand which helped ease my fears and calm my anxiety. Kara was extremely sweet and my girls liked her right away! If I ever need a sitter again, Kara will be number one!”
“As always, Natalie took great care of cat while we were hone for the weekend. She always arrives on schedule provides outstanding care. She also takes GREAT pictures for her check-ins. Highly recommended!”
“We appreciated your sweet notes & pics for every single one of your visits. It made us feel SO wonderfully connected and that our sweet furry family had a caring, warm person that truly was thoughtful to each of their needs. SO many thanks - it meant a great deal to us!”
“Michelle was very nice about my last minute request while on vacation. She was flexible about the time and chores and took great care of cats’ feeding, watering, and litter. Very much enjoyed working with her and plan to book her again”
“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”
“Kathy was terrific! She was always on time and responsive. And I know she took good care of Meesha while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care in the future.”
About: I have always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!
About: I have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends from a young age. My brother flys me out to LA to dog sit a couple times per year. My pet care knows no bounds! I have two Chihuahua mixes currently and am involved in the Chihuahua rescue community. I work from home so I plan to utilize rover on my daily lunch breaks! I have a flexible schedule as well that allows me to do this during the week. I cannot board animals in my home at this time due to my two dogs being antisocial divas. I will enjoy taking small/medium sized dogs out for short walks and/or let them out to potty in the yard. Can refill water/food if needed. I can scoop litter and top off food for cats as well
“Annelie went above and beyond - not only did she take care of our 2 cats (with tons of updates and pictures of them during the stay), she took care of our house without us asking, by grabbing the mail/packages, cleaning up litter, cleaning cat dishes and more.”
“We are so grateful for the incredible care our dog received! She stepped in to help us on very short notice, and from the very beginning she went above and beyond. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine care for animals truly stood out. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for going the extra mile. We would absolutely book with you again!🩷”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. 🐶🐱 I’m caring, responsible, and love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! ❤️ I'm currently not working. Your pet will be my priority, and I allow many potty breaks for dogs and litter box cleaning for cats. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I love animals and safety is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in backyard and I live in a neighborhood at my house. I care for pets by making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, and lots of attention. I also follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my home or their owner’s home.
About: I have always been around animals my whole life and grew up with multiple pets, caring for them since they were babies up until they were seniors. I’m 25 years old, going to school at Eastern Michigan University to become an elementary teacher. I’m very active and love to be outdoors! I love and treat my pets as if they were family and plan to do the same for your fur babies! I‘ve cat sat for my aunt and uncle and have pet sat for my friends and family as well as past clients on rover, and have worked on a farm in the past caring for horses, barn kitties and dogs. I really enjoy caring for all animals and i’m looking forward to care for yours as if they were my own! I’m a fast learner and very dependable so if your pets need any special treatments you could just let me know and show me how you approach it and I will do the same! My late St. Bernard was on heart medication so I know how to trick even the stubbornest dogs to take their pills or eat if they’re old and don’t have much of an appetite as they used to. I have recently moved to the Howell area and live in an apartment, however my complex is super dog friendly and my apartment has a big (unfenced) yard behind it (would have to keep your dogs leashed if they’re boarded here) with many trails! I’m looking forward to hearing from you and taking care of your furry friends 😊🐾 My schedule is very open for the summer, since I’m on summer break before I begin student teaching in late August. I’m available Monday-Friday, as well as some weekends! I frequently dog sit for my friends and family, with most of my experience being with dogs between a year-fourteen years old, and same goes for cats. When I enter someone’s home I make sure to never approach their pets and let them approach me (because I know it can be nerve-wracking for them to meet a new person at times). I usually let dogs out every hour or more if needed and enjoy going for walks with them or playing fetch or any other games to keep them entertained. I follow the instructions given by the parents of our fluffy friends very closely, feed times, medicine times, treat times, etc. If I need to I usually set reminders so I have a backup reminder if needed. Along with caring for their pets I also clean up after them, litter boxes, toys, their outside duties, and whatever the pet parent instructs. I currently just moved to the Howell area and have not gotten a pet of my own yet, however I can pet sit your pets at my apartment if they’re potty trained, or can take care of them at your house as well!
“I am so happy Sara is on Rover! She has watched my cats and dogs for years. Knowing Sara is caring for my animals gives me peace of mind. She checks in on my girls while I am at work. I know my pets are safe with Sara. Just meeting her you can tell she truly loves animals! Penelope & Mille are so excited to see Sara again soon! Thanks, Sara!!”

Emma was my first choice for a sitter, and I was not wrong! She was on time for our meet and greet, she was very considerate of our wishes, and she went above and beyond. I forgot to set out a pretty important tool for her to complete her task. Thankfully Emma found the tool and resolved the issue! We will call on her again, she is worth it!

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.
