“Helen was great with it usually shy cats. Always sent lots of pictures and we were at ease knowing they were happy to see her. Will 100% be using her services again in the future.”
“Kristen was so great, I'm so happy I found her and will request her back again as needed to check in on my girl. She was prompt, sent pics of Ellie and spent time making sure she had everything she needed while I was away. She did an excellent job and I couldn't be more pleased.”
“They’ve cared for our littles twice now and are absolutely amazing! Extremely fast responses and always check in before/after visits. I know our cats truly adore them and love on them each time. Wouldn’t trust anyone else!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Alexis. She took such great care of our babies while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. She made sure they were well loved, kept active with walks, and stayed on their normal routine. One of our favorite things was the pictures she sent! We absolutely loved getting updates and seeing how happy and comfortable our pups were. It meant so much to know they were in such good hands. We truly appreciate the care and attention she gave them and would definitely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
About: I’m 33. I’ve had animals in the house for as long as I can remember. I’m the kid who took home all the strays. Besides watching neighbors’, family, and my own animals, I don’t have any experience. But I’ve had all sizes of dogs, I’ve had cats, fish, and guinea pigs. I love animals, and spending my day caring for them is what I live for. I have two dogs and two cats. And 3 children (9,10,12) who enjoy animals too. I’m fully available any day , any time to care for your furry family members. I can do daily drop ins, daycare, dog walking, and boarding. I have two friendly, loving dogs. With a huge fenced in back yard. A house with plenty of room to run and play. And a walkable, shaded neighborhood.
“Ashley was amazing! Our cats loved her and she took great care of our home. We felt so relieved she was able to look after our gatos very last minute. She was very attentive, super friendly, great with communication, sent lots of photos and updates of our fur babies, gave our cats treats and much love. We are just so happy and grateful Ashley was our pet sitter. I will definitely book again if she is available in the future! 1000% worth it. Thank you Ashley!!”
“Erin has been absolutely AMAZING for us and our sweet boxer puppy! We have needed a pet sitter for the first 2 months having our puppy and Erin has gone above and beyond with her. She takes her on walks, plays with her, socializes her with others, makes sure she has plenty of food and water and is just everything we could have asked for in a pet sitter, we HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“Finally got this App to work!!! Thanks for a fantastic visit session! My boys looked as happy as they would be with me! Keep up the amazing work and thanks again! 😊😊😊😊☺️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was my first time having to find a cat sitter and Taylor was great! I was away for about 4 days but she was communicative throughout and followed instructions. My cat warmed up to her pretty quick too. Will be using her services again.”
“Dameng was incredible! From start to finish. He was thorough in reading Georgie’s past history, kind upon meeting him, asked the right questions, and offered to help around the home. He was also great in sending pics and refilling our little kitten’s bowel. Definitely will recommend and use his warm friendly services again!”
About: I've been around all sizes of dogs my entire life. In the past 5 years cat were added to that and I couldn't have been happier. I have a 2 year old Rottweiler who had parvo when she was 2 months old and we got her through that, and recently y fostered a car who we just got back to health as well. So, I am no stranger to pets with needs. I control my schedule at work 100% so with ample heads up I can work your pet's routine into it as needed. I can be available at all times of the day. I will treat your pets with the upmost respect and kindness. I love all animals and they all speak their own language. My pets live in a safe and kind household and I will treat your pets as such whether it be a check-in or a walk.
About: I have never worked professionally as a dog sitter or walker, but all my life I have grown up taking care of animals, dogs in specific but I don’t discriminate. I love all animals and I’m willing to learn/adapt to each owner’s preferences as well as their pets. What sets me a part is I will care for your animals like they are my own. I currently just graduated high school early so I have a little bit of more unexpected time on my hands before hopefully going to college for nursing in the fall so in the meantime, I wanted to spend my free time doing something I like, which is taking care of animals and giving families the feeling of relief and trust with their pet sitter. I personally have two English bulldogs both over 50 pounds who I take care of every single day from Vet appointments to the basic and extra responsibilities and I love them with my whole heart. At my house we have a fenced backyard that they normally run around in with my supervision, but as well as walking them around my neighborhood.
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including my own domestic shorthair cat. Because I work from home and live in the Meridiana neighborhood, my drop-in schedule is very flexible. As a cat owner, I understand how much pets depend on a calm, clean, and comfortable environment, especially when their family is away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m gentle, patient, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also know that some cats need time and space to warm up, so I always respect each pet’s personality and comfort level. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits during most weekdays and weekends, and I can usually adjust my time to fit your pet’s normal routine. Because I live in the Meridiana neighborhood, I’m especially flexible for nearby visits. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving your pet some attention while you’re away. Please feel free to message me about your preferred visit time, and I’ll do my best to make it work.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. In 2020, I adopted an anxious and reactive 1 year old dog, and spent a lot of time learning dog behavior and how to bond with my dog using positive reinforcement techniques. Outside of personal experience, I have been pet sitting for close friends and family for the last 8 years. Fun fact: In the last year, I have also been raising my own chicken flock! I love constantly learning different things about different animals and their needs. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability to do drop-ins and playtime. With ample notice, house sitting can also be worked on with your schedule. I highly prefer a meet and greet so I can know your routine with your pets. I would like to be able replicate that routine to reduce as much stress and anxiety as possible for your pets. In the summer time, I am very vigilant about watching out for overheating and fatigue. I value open communication and will always update you when there is something that seems unusual with your pet or home care. For house sitting, I will only be in or use things in my designated areas and will double check house security at all times.

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.

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.
