“I was very pleased with Alana’s care of my two eighteen year old cats. My elderly cats both have litter box issues which require extra clean-up, including laundering washable pee pads, and cleaning up around the boxes. Alana did not have a problem with this and took it on willingly. Alana spent time with my cats every day petting and brushing them, which I and they appreciated. She also updated me twice a day with texts and pictures. I would highly recommend Alana, and hope to use her again.”
“Ryland took EXCELLENT care of our two cats while we were out of town. He sent daily photos and updates and also helped to handle other things around the home while we were away. We will definitely recommend and rebook next time we are out of town!”
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.
“Neah was great with my cats! She even got my shy cat to come out for pets :), and took great care of my old guy too! I really appreciate her good communication and flexibility with timing.”
About: Hi there! I have a life of experience with dogs, cats and rodents of all shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of livestock and am excited to help you care for yours! 🐕🦎🐈🐠🐖🐇🦆🫏 Whatever furry (or scaly, slimy or swimming) creatures you may have will be loved as if they are my own. I do ask that reactivity or disabilities/health issues are disclosed upon booking request! I am happy to make accommodations — the more information I am given initially makes connecting go smoother! Let me know how I can help you and your family! 🫶🏻 Making sure that your pet gets the love they need and adheres to their routines is of top priority! We will work together to find the times that work best to meet everyone’s needs. I choose to care for your pets in their space, which I finds allows for them to be more comfortable with a strange person. I am more than happy to take them on outings, such as to the beach or a forest trail, but only after we (you, your pet, and I) establish trust! My goal is to not disturb your pet’s schedule, so we will often stick to their typical routines unless otherwise requested!
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
About: As a lifetime pet-parent I will treat your pets as if they were my own - you can expect the best care and attention to all your specific needs and routines. I currently have three cats and am the god-parent to three dogs. My best friend for 14 years was a Dalmatian, and before a career in finance, I worked in ASPCA and vet hospitals and I studied pre-vet medicine in college. I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected. Our yard is sprayed with natural tick and flea deterrent, and we so not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals in our yard. I am respectful, clean and very detail-oriented, so will always strive to meet any expectations for your home that you set.
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals since I was very small. Everything from foster care, rescue work, dog training and all kinds of grooming services. In my days of working at doggy daycare, I learned how to properly cater to the needs of dogs with all kinds of temperaments and ages. I have worked with puppies and seniors as well as old cats and kittens. I love giving my clients kitty/doggy note cards and photos of the pawsome day we would be having! Along with animal caretaking, I love doing pet portraits and photography. I'm currently working part-time so I have lots of time to work with your furry friends and bend my schedule to align best with your specific needs! I am more than willing to spend time building a safe and trusting relationship with your furry friend. I know it can take a lot of patience sometimes and I am very well versed in learning the behaviors of any animal to enure I'm giving the safest and best experience I can.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Indianola
Ashley is an absolute gem! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is a true animal-care professional. My wife was impressed by her Rover profile, and even more so by her thoughtful, confident approach during our introductory visit. Ashley brings a wealth of hands-on experience caring for animals, including her own dogs, cats, and horse, and it shows. Our entire experience was seamless from beginning to end. We returned home to happy, contented cats and a sparkling clean house. What a pleasure to travel knowing our pets and home were in such capable, caring hands! Ashley is everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. We recommend her enthusiastically and look forward to having her back!

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 .

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 , 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.
