“Brianna is the kitty whisperer! One of my cats is super shy and doesn’t always come out when sitters come but she came out on Brianna’s first day! Brianna was super communicative, asked a lot of great questions to ensure she handled my babies needs with care and took the best pics of them both. We will definitely use Brianna for our future needs❤️❤️”

About: I’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, but my family has always trusted me as the official pet sitter due to my patience, responsibility, and compassion. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and my genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, I care for every animal the way I’d want someone to care for my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I am a part time CNA, so my schedule is completely up to me! I love being in healthcare, but my real passion is pets! My schedule is always open unless I say otherwise! (I will always inform a client in advance about my plans) I provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. I live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) My neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’ll care for your home and your pets with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!
“Kerry did an amazing job caring for my girls. From the pictures and updates she sent, I could tell they felt comfortable and trusted her. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and support she provided while I was out of town. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum, being away from them was difficult, and Kerry went above and beyond to reassure me. Whenever I felt nervous or anxious, she made sure I knew they were doing well. She even sent me a video of my dog when I shared concerns that she might be missing me, which meant so much. Kerry made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for my girls. She also captured some amazing group pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend booking with her she is thoughtful, caring, and truly wonderful at what she does.”
About: I currently assist an animal trainer and behaviorist with training service dogs. I have also assisted her in large dog births. I have learned how to dress wounds. I am also training my own service Great Dane. I am currently free all day, so I have plenty of time to make sure your babies are cared for and loved just as they deserve. I would be able to take them on walks (or just potty breaks, depending on what they need), and I can feed them breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When first meeting your babies, I let them lead the introduction. Meaning I dont force them to sniff me or interact with me. Its purely on their time. Same goes for anytime I interact with them. I am protective and observant, if something happens to your baby under my care you will be the first to know!
“Sherry was very communicative about our pets and even noticed that our alarm had an error on it and fixed it. She brought in the mail too. One of our cats prefers to be outside so she didn’t see him but made sure that his food was eaten so she knew he was ok.”
About: I have always loved animals and started working in veterinary medicine as early as I could. I am now a technician and love caring for animals of all all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have experience with all types of animals, energy levels, and needs. I have plenty of time right now and would love to spend time with your pets and can even take them on adventures if desired. I try and keep pets the least stressed than can be when I am around. I treat every pet like my own and how I would want my pet to be treated. I am known at my clinics for excellent patient care.
“Nicole hit it off great with my dog Cooper at the meet and greet - you could tell she cares! She’s sticks to the schedule and has ‘grown’ with Cooper as he gets more comfortable in his new home. I highly recommend Nicole.”
“JMark, is awesome!! I'm so glad I chose him. My Rottie Rome has really warmed up to him and looks forward to seeing him. They've quickly formed a bond and do well together. He keeps me updated on any developments concerning Rome, and we are pleased with his service. I hope he's apart of the family for a long while.”
“Raven has watched our 3 fur babies twice now and has added a sense of calm knowing they’re being cared for. Attentive, Efficient, with great communication and we look forward to using her again in the Summer.”
“Kaylah was honestly the best I could’ve asked for. My animals were well taken care of and they enjoyed their time. She was reliable, responsive and provided pictures daily”
“What a great person. Im so glad i found olivia. She might be one of the nest people on rover. Affordable and do nice to her customers. I can tell bleu loved her. I will def be using her everytime i go out of town”
“Jetaun was amazing!!!! The dogs warmed up to her and was happy to see her when she arrived. She is professional, prompt, courteous, and gentle with my fur babies. I Highly recommend her and I will be using her from now on.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the moment he walked in, our cats immediately took to him—which honestly never happens. They’re usually shy around new people, but they were relaxed, curious, and even affectionate right away. It was clear he has a natural connection with animals. He was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything just as we left it. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can truly trust. We’ll absolutely be booking with him”

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.
