“Alivia has come over twice now for drop in visits and the boys are loving her! She has been timely and very responsive which is greatly appreciated. From the time she gets here she is very engaged with both dogs, playing fetch with our hyper Boston and giving lots of pets to our more chill puggle. She also takes the best pictures of them while she’s here which has been adorable to receive after the visits. We will definitely be rebooking!”

About: Starting my experience with volunteering at my local veterinary clinic after school, starting in elementary to high school, that i now work part time at! A Rescue dog mom of two and two bunnies! As a part time bather with four fur babies of my own, i’d love to share my free time caring for those needed to be cared for.

“Season has been our cat sitter for a couple of years now. We have done a few days and long trips out of town. This week we reached out on Tuesday and left on Thursday for a long weekend, and again she was prompt and prepared. She is very communicative and sends us pictures every day. She is also good at making any adjustments to their feeding or schedule as needed. I highly recommend Season.”

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 10+ years now. I've had cats my whole life and have had dogs for 4 years now. I worked as a veterinary technician for 4 years as well. I can bathe, walk, feed, give medicine to almost all pets! I moved from California to Michigan and would love to get to know more of your fur babies! I am currently walking from home and almost always need a break. Therefore, spending time with more animals is always a big relaxer for me! I love my fur babies more than anything. Their needs always come first. Therefore, I will put your babies needs first as well. I can play with them, take them out, and do almost everything possible to make sure they have a stress free time with me.

About: Hi! I’m Kel, and I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and clients since I was a teenager, and pet sitting has always been something I’ve found incredibly rewarding. I know that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry free as possible—for both you and your pets. I’m attentive to routines, personalities, and individual needs, whether that means an energetic dog who needs plenty of playtime, a senior pet who prefers a slower pace, or a shy cat who needs a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I currently share my home with my cats, Rosemary, Cheezel, Wasabi, and my Great Pyrenees, Marsha.. They’ve taught me plenty about the joys, quirks, and occasional chaos that come with having pets! I’m responsible, patient, communicative, and attentive to detail. I’ll treat your pets, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled drop-ins, walks, and house visits rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I’m comfortable working with different routines and can follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, play, and bathroom schedules as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is especially important , so I make an effort to keep their routine familiar while you’re away. I also make communication a priority and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. My goal is to make caring for your pets a reliable part of my routine while giving you peace of mind that they’re getting the attention and care they need. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I believe staying in their own space helps reduce stress, especially for cats who can be sensitive to changes in their surroundings. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. This can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, walks, and medication or other special needs as discussed. I’ll take the time to interact with your pet based on their personality—whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a quieter visit with some gentle companionship. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual. If I notice something concerning, I’ll contact you promptly rather than assuming it’s normal. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Charles went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well loved and taken care of, spending extra time with them and coming up with creative ways to keep them comfortable while we were away. My dog has anxiety and he was so good with her, I knew I didn't have to worry because both my dog and cat were in amazing hands! He made sure to keep up with cleaning any messes along the way, and overall was very attentive. We will absolutely be using Charles as our pet sitter in the future!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover who works from home, your pup will never be left alone, they get real, attentive companionship all day, every day. With 15 years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of every personality, from couch-cuddling seniors to high-energy adventurers and I’m fully comfortable administering medications and managing any special health needs. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I tailor everything to what makes your dog happiest. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos and check-ins every step of the way, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ MEET AND GREETS: I always welcome meet and greets, your comfort and your dog's comfort matter to me! To keep things running smoothly for both of us, all meet and greets are kept to under 20 minutes. This allows me to stay on schedule while coordinating care for multiple families and my returning clients. It's a quick, low-pressure visit so your pup and I can meet and you can ask any questions before booking. Just reach out and we'll find a time that works! ONE ON ONE CARE/ NO MIXED HOUSEHOLD: I take pride in offering dedicated, one on one care for every dog in my home. I do not host pets from multiple different families at the same time only your animal (or animals!) will have my full, undivided attention throughout their stay. If you have multiple pets, absolutely bring them all! I'm happy to care for your whole crew together. The one-household policy simply means your pets are never mixed with unfamiliar animals from other families, keeping the environment calm, safe, and stress-free. QUESTIONS ABOUT RATES? My pricing reflects the level of care your pet actually receives. Because I only take one family at a time, your dog isn't sharing my attention with a house full of strangers' pets, they get a personal, attentive experience from drop-off to pick-up. You're not paying for a spot in a group setting. You're paying for individualized care, a calm and focused environment, and a sitter who is fully present for your pet. BEYOND DOGS: I've cared for more than just dogs and cats! I have experience with exotic animals including ferrets and other small pets. If you have an animal that's a little outside the ordinary, don't hesitate to ask, chances are I've got you covered. Have questions, special requirements, or just want to chat before booking? Please reach out! I'm always happy to talk through anything to make sure this is the right fit for you and your pet. Because I work from home, your dog gets potty breaks, meals, playtime, and medications on their schedule, not a rushed one. I work around your routine to make handing off your pup as seamless and stress-free as possible. Every dog is welcomed like family from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, they’re treated as part of the household, free to roam, claim the couch, and make themselves completely at home.

About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.

“This was our first experience with a Rover drop-in sitter for our senior cat and Kyla put us at ease! She sent lots of photos with each visit and even a couple videos. Hendrix was a happy cat when we got home and Kyla took care to lock up and even grab the mail and a package for us. We look forward to utilizing her services again!”

“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”

My husband and I have had several cat sitters for our very loved cat. Kristy is by FAR the best we have ever had. She is warm and caring, reporting any differences she sees in Tully’s behavior and eating habits—and gives him the best ear rubs and cuddles. Our sweet boy loves her. We leave him in Kristy’s care with peace in our hearts. Kristy is exceptional.

Our experience with having Ashley watch our cats while we were on our honeymoon, was nothing short of perfect. She made sure to ask questions about our little guys, including their preferences, their favorite toys and ways to best interact with them, and what really made us feel like she was the right choice, was she made it a priority to do whatever she could to ensure we felt comfortable. She knew our little guy Ralphie, (a very sensitive and socially needy pandemic kitten) was a concern for us when we were gone, because he really needs lots of love and attention, and she sent daily updates along with photos of both boys, and videos of playtime. We felt so at ease knowing she was there with them, and focusing on doing whatever they needed, and it really gave us the opportunity to relax, knowing our little guys were happy at home. We cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% reach out to Ashley the next time we need to go out of town. She was an absolute delight and we are so grateful to have found her!

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.

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 .

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.
