“Susana has an amazing calming and friendly demeanor which was perfect for our sketchy little nervous cat! Susana understood what that meant, and knew how to react to a cat who didn't want to be touched or messed with. She sat next to Freya for the visit without touching her and Freya didn't run away or hide from her, which says even more about Susana. Kind, understanding, and thoughtful - exactly who Freya needed while we were gone. Will definitely book again next time we're heading out of town. Thank you Susana!! We would give more stars if we could!”
“Jessica did great with our two cats! She had no hesitation at all in dealing with an old cranky kitty and having to administer a med. Appreciated all the communication and extra help like bringing trash cans in and watering plants!”
“Having Misty care for our cat Daphne made us feel completely at ease on our holiday trip. Daphne bonded with her quickly, and Misty was very alert to her needs and any changes in her needs or schedule. She even offered Daphne some new toys and experiences. She checked in every day with photos and videos. Coming home to a cat who was well taken care of and at ease was the best way to end the year.”
“Madelyn, thank you for taking such good care of Frodo! The pix are great, plus the extra info on how he’s been doing. When we returned from our trip today, Frodo was a happy, content cat — just as we love to see after being gone a few days.”
“Amy is incredibly thoughtful and thorough! She gave us the peace of mind that our 3 shy cats were well taken care of during our trip. Will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I currently care for seven chickens, which has taught me responsibility, consistency, feeding, and paying close attention to their needs. I’ve also cared for my mom’s dog while she was away and helped care for my sister’s puppy. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. While I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own, pet sitting feels like the perfect way for me to spend time with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently taking two classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings, each for about two hours. I also enjoy going to the gym and have a flexible schedule around my seven-year-old son’s school schedule. I’m usually up around 7 AM and have plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate with each pet parent and work together to find a schedule that works well for everyone.

About: I’ve loved and lived with animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors (furry and scaly alike), for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I found a passion and love of caring for others through learning to care for our family pets (cats, dogs, frogs, lizards, fish, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, pot belly pigs, ponies, etc) who were treated largely like members of the family rather than pets. When I was older I became the family, friends, and neighborhood go-to pet sitter because of my array of experience with domestic, exotic, and farm animals from newborn all the way through senior stages of life. My first official job in high school was working for PetsMart in their PetsHotel. As an adult, my family and I have our own furry, scaly, and aquatic family members that we love dearly. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule so it would be very easy to add drop-in care and activity time to my day to day schedule. Overnight stays could be easily scheduled with advanced notice. It is not lost on me that clients trust me with their fur-kids and their homes. I take that responsibility to heart and will always have open lines of communication and respect. I’m honored to be able to care for your pets and will always treat them like family. I’m big on pictures and sending all sorts of updates as I am providing care while you are away at work or on vacation.
“Miss Tiffany immediately bonded with our fussy old cat, Leo. She understood what he wanted and delivered copious pets, snuggles and treats for 12 days. The photos were a testament to his happiness. We couldn’t be happier with her service and most definitely will request her again should the need arise.”
“Annemarie was reliable and did everything I asked for the two drop-in visits. It was great to see photos of my cat while she visited —it made me feel assured that he was being taken care of. Annemarie even brought in the paper. Would definitely hire Annemarie again!”
“Keith was very communicative (even when I wasn’t able to get back to him) and took great care of my cats while I was out of town! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.
About: We are a husband-wife team that both work from home and love dogs and cats. We walk our dog(s) daily for a 3 to 4 mile walk, and shorter routes can be done for dogs that can't go long distance. Happy to house sit your fur baby/babies or just provide breaks for your pup or feed the cat. Our motto is... A tired dog is a good dog! We have flexible schedules. We are comfortable with giving meds if needed. Good with large breeds and light training during walks. Happy to reinforce whatever training / skills you are working on. We sometimes foster dogs, so schedule can be unpredictable at times. We both work from home currently, so have the ability to do drop-in visits morning, afternoon or evening. Soon-to-be retired for one of us, so that will increase availability quite a bit. We are not currently offering boarding in our home due to having a dog-selective large breed at this time. Happy to pet-sit in your home, usually just one of us.

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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
