“Hannah took great care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She made sure he was fed, brushed and played with. We came back to a happy, well cared for kitty!”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, growing up around a wide variety of pets and continuing that care into adulthood. From a young age I have house sat and watched animals from my own home over the past 30 years. My experience includes horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and lizards. I am comfortable with daily routines, individual personalities, and providing calm, attentive care to ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. My entire family loves animals and caring for them. They all contribute to loving and taking care of your furry family members. Special Skills & Care: Basic dog obedience training Bathing & basic grooming Leash walking & exercise Feeding & fresh water routines Administering basic care & monitoring health Experience with multiple animal types Calm, patient handling Following detailed care instructions Providing companionship & comfort Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I am home every day from 2:30 PM through 8:00 AM, which allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and supervision for boarding pets. During this time, pets receive regular playtime, walks, and lots of affection and snuggles. On weekends, I am home full-time, with only occasional errands, ensuring pets are rarely left alone. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness while in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I have a good sized backyard with 6-foot privacy fence for secure outdoor play, with water and yard access available 24/7. Dogs are always supervised while outside. Inside my home, dogs are treated like family and are welcome anywhere I am. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own space, I’m happy to crate when I’m not home or follow your normal routine. At night, dogs will sleep in a kennel or in a room with me, depending on what makes them most comfortable. I have other friendly pups who love to play, but I always introduce dogs slowly and can keep pets separated if your dog prefers one-on-one attention. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I adjust care to match their personality and needs. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own—providing a safe, loving, and structured environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a kid. We have had cats since I was 10. Lots of cats. I've also been a dog owner for the past 12 years and take care of my mother and sisters elderly Pomeranians as well as my partners large breed dogs. I really love animals and just want to be around them as much as possible. I have experience with administering meds, elderly, disabled animals. Basically the entire life span of domesticated pets. I'm a freelance audiobook director so I can stay at your place and work from there if you'd prefer. I have lots of pockets of time throughout the day to perform tasks. I don't have many obligations so I can devote my time to being present for your furry friend. I take animal safety and home safety very seriously. Animals are sentient creatures who can get scared. They need to feel safe and grounded in their environment as well as with their guardians.
About: I have a really compassionate side as evidenced by my work in healthcare. I’m so excited to meet each pet with their different personalities and make accommodations to have them feel as comfortable as possible during the time you’re away. I work healthcare hours during the day and am happy to see pets in the evening when off of work. I look forward to letting your pet get some energy out with play and going for walks! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away and an easy transition when you get back. I currently have cats so we clean the litter box daily, provide time for play, fresh water and food daily. We also try out new enrichment toys often just to see what helps. I’ve seen my very shy strays become more social and at home over the years and it’s such a good feeling. Building trust with animals can take time and that’s where my patience comes in. When I had dogs growing up they were walked once or twice a day, backyard to play in and we would run around in together, also daily food and drink as well as comfortable places to sleep.
“Caitlin took great care of our cat, visited as scheduled. Sent photos and updates, and left our house as it had been. We will definitely try to book with her again when we need a sitter!”
“Chandy was wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip and took great care of the house and pets. She was also very flexible with our changing flight plans and an international time zone difference!”
About: I've owned dogs my whole life and am very knowledgeable of how to train and care for them. I've owned many different pets from scaly friends to furry ones, both large and small. I have a great deal of knowledge of how to care for both puppies and older companions. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you! I currently work from home so I have plenty of time for your furry friends. I have two very friendly and well trained dogs that love having company. We also have a cat that gets along very well with them. I have plenty of space in my back yard that is enclosed by a 6ft fence. We (dogs & I) go for walks and have plenty of play time during the day. I feed my girls twice a day and give them treats once in a while. Neither of my girls are food or treat aggressive. I have a couple of neighbor kids who come over and love to play with and show love to my pets. All of the pets in my home are well loved and cared for.
“Another fantastic experience with Nick and Kamila. This is the second time we've booked with them and we will absolutely book with them again. They gave our kitties the best care, gave us tons of updates, and we're super responsive. Great pet sitters!”
“Victoria did an absolutely incredible job taking care of our three cats! She gave incredible updates and photos the entire time. She made sure to give all of our cats tons of love, play time, and attention. I couldn’t be more grateful for her service. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.
About: I've taken care of large and small dogs since a young age, and since adulthood have owned 3 large rambunctious dogs and 2 small feisty ones! The last four years I've finally owned cats as well, and truly love them just as much. We currently own two dogs, three cats, and four chickens! I occasionally dog-sit for friends but since I'll be teaching part-time from now on, would love to make pet drop-ins and walks a regular part of my day. I have a lot of flexibility every afternoon. I'm used to walking and training every size of dog, and adore wild puppies, but due to my arthritis can no longer walk dogs over 40 pounds if they regularly pull. Large dogs who do not pull are not a problem. As a teacher and pet lover, I'm very patient and consistent. Let me love on your fur babies! I am a Single-Mom and part-time Teacher! I have a lot of flexibility every-other week (on the weeks without my son), and am used to careful planning. With plenty of notice, I have ample time to support your fur babies. During the school-year, I work M-F mornings. My pets are a part of our family and I dote on all animals as if they were my own. I understand dietary and behavioral restrictions and lean heavily on positive reinforcement (teacher)! I would never break the trust that is given to me as a teacher, and likewise I take my responsibility to your fur babies seriously. I strive for consistency and clear communication and appreciate this mutual respect.
About: I’ve been taking care of fur babies for about 5 years! I’m new to the rover community but want to expand my love for animals! I am comfortable around all dogs/cats and am willing to learn how to best fulfill your pets needs! When I come to take care of your four legged buddy, I promise to dedicate my time to nurture, adore, and create enjoyable experiences for them. My roommates have two pups - an English cream retriever named Soph and a chocolate lab named Tucker who are equal parts sweet as they are energetic! I’m currently working full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! My typical working hours are 8:45-4:30 M-F! I am also flexible and can accommodate last minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to create a nurturing and playful environment for your fur babies as well as continue your daily routine to keep your furry one as comfortable and happy as possible!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
