“Shawnee is wonderful! Knowing she was taking care of our cat while we were away gave us peace of mind and seeing her updates and photos made our trip so much smoother. We will absolutely be booking Shawnee again in the future (and recommending her to our pet-parent friends)!”
“Second time using Aubrey and another excellent experience. Able to leave my two fur babies in her care without having to worry at all. She is really amazing with animals; our two cats, who really don’t like anyone, warmed up to her right away! I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Bradley is excellent with our dogs and did a super job taking care of them. During his visit he was messaging me telling me about his visit and our dogs, and sent some great photos of our doggies as well. We highly recommend Bradley for your pet-sitting needs and will use him again.”
“Shannon is not only a pet sitter. She gets to know you and your pets before even starting!! She became a friend and made me feel so comfortable while I was away!! Thanks Shannon :)”
“My boys were well taken care of and I got some cute photos on my trip for peace of mind. Her response time was excellent and I didn’t have a second of worry about my boys. I was able to enjoy my vacation with the knowledge my kitties were shown love and care the whole time. Will definitely book again.”
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school and as of right now im doing the externship part, I will be done early October! Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.
About: It will be a honor to become your petsitter ❤️ I have volunteered to provide temporary homes for dogs and cats. I was always the one who took care of the pets when everyone went on trips. You love them, I love them, lets love them ! I am available : Monday to Friday - From 7:00am to 10:00pm. Saturday - From 7:00am to 10:00pm. Sunday- From 7:00am to 10:00pm. On special occasions, I can extend my availability even further to meet your needs. As a dog sitter, I am committed to provide personalized attention to your pet, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being during your absence. Fitting into your daily routine and performing activities both at home and outings to dog parks or the beach. If you wish. My goal here is for your pet to feel comfortable in his or her routine and to have fun. But most of all that you feel at peace and know that your pet is in good hands.
About: I have loved pets since I was very young. I used to take care of my brother's dog and my friends. Whenever I could, I would visit my friends to be with their dogs. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of patience with hyper pets! I am currently a teacher, so I can work Mon-Fri after 4 and on the weekends any time. During the summer and holidays, I am more flexible. I make sure that if the dog or cat needs to go out to potty, I take them out. I also walk the dogs/cats and play with them as I keep them company. I try to make sure they are safe and happy! I am not allergic to any pets.
“Once again Bonnie has taken exceptional care of my Jade. She doesn’t just feed her and clean her box, she plays with her and gives her love. I will never book with anyone else, my Jade loves her.”
“We are so thankful that we have Sheryl watching our sweet pups! She was very friendly from our first meeting and put our minds at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was attentive, on-time, took great care of our pups and made sure to leave a detailed update during her drop-in.”
About: I have had pets from childhood through adulthood and am happy to be available to help with both cats and dogs. Do not hesitate to reach out, even if same day. I work on call so am available to go at any time morning, day, or night. I am also available most holidays, but those differ. I follow and respect the rules set by the homeowner. I feed the cats/ dogs, as well as take them out or empty the litter boxes.
About: I have years of personal experience caring for my own fur babies, as well as experience working in an emergency vet. I am comfortable handling pets who need a little extra TLC due to their health or personality, and nothing makes me happier than giving owners the assurance that their fur family is in good hands💜 I currently have two cats, Dobby and Chai, and I have experience with all ages of pets :) I can care for exotic pets as well! I work full time at an emergency vet, so I I typically work 2 week night shifts and one weekend day shift, usually 10-12 hours each. I will follow any and all instructions left for me to the letter, as I would want someone to do the same for my pets.
“Melinda was fantastic with our cats and went above and beyond! Highly recommend her watching over your cats, and I'll be using her services again for our next trip!”
“Ok…..so this was my first time using rover , in fact first time using someone else other then family. Of course I was nervous and a little anxious about someone I didn’t know coming in to my house while I was away on vacation. I book Ashley D for drop ins 3xs a day for 4 days ans she exceeded my expectations!!!! She and her husband treated both my fur babies like they were there own. Kept me updated on a regular basis and went above and beyond. My Chihuahua was even sitting on her lab and eating snakes from her hand by the end , (she is the type of dog that is very stand offish and likes to bark at you). I couldn’t be more satisfied with our everything went , I will definitely book Ashley again and again. Lola and sweetie really enjoyed her company !!!!”
“Thank you, Michelle, for giving our Mr Kitty a daily spa treatment of brushing, massage and treats while we were enjoying our cruise. Pet sitters such as yourself are unsung heros for providing comfort for both pets and their humans. Your services are much appreciated.”

I would like to say that Christy M. did a great job watching our three Cockatoos and two rabbits. She was able to assist us on short notice as our other pet sitter was unable to watch our pets due to illness. She was great with our pets and was very attentive to their needs. She would message me when she arrived and was always on time and she would message me pictures of our pets as well. She even took out the trash and left our home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her in the future.

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.
