“John is easygoing and passionate about pet care. Based on our initial meeting I had no reservations about his ability to manage drop-in visits with my cat. While I was away, he provided detailed reports on each visits with photos to document their activities together. John clearly made the effort to bond with my cat and show him the affection he desperately craves while I’m away. I will certainly invite John to return in the future.”
“Professional, on time and my pup was at ease with Nicole. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my furry friend was being cared for by someone who love dogs as much as me.”
“Caroline is amazing. She is super kind and my 2 cats absolutely loved her. I was held up unexpectedly while out of the country and Caroline saved the day by taking care of my high maintenance (cats with meds and special needs) for the crazy extended time. My one cat loves her so much, she sit and cries at the door waiting for Caroline to come back! I think my kids like her more than me now! :) Anyway I would never let anyone else watch my furballs. I cant recommend Caroline enough!”
“Rico is terrific with our two Irish Red & White Setters. He is attentive, caring, reliable and trustworthy. Rico is quickly becoming part of our ohana. We'd be lost without him!”
“Emily did a fantasic job taking care of our two dogs and our guinea pig while we were away. Her communicatiom was excellent. One of our dogs has a medical condition requiring daily vitamins and sometimes medication. Emily was vigilant in watching our animals for signs of health or discomfort. Emily went above and beyond with taking in packages and mail while we were away as well. We came home to very happy animals. We would gladly hire Emily again!”
About: I own a Husky mix named Prisma who is turning 3 this year. She is quite energic and also epileptic. She is my daily experience. However I have sat for dog a bit bigger and much smaller! That includes Shihztus, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, and Border Collies. I'm patient and responsible. My goal in any work field, but especially with your loved ones and possessions, is being reliable and communicating. This is what I find in my experience to be key for providing the best care and peace of mind. I work full time as a receptionist Mon - Fri, 8 to 4:30. This provides a lot of morning visits and overnight potential. Evening walks would works great as well. For specific requests, I can even dip into PTO to make the right situation work if a mid day visit is required during the work week. My Saturdays and Sundays are fully open at this time. I'm very patient and observant when interacting with pets of different personalities. Once informed on how you'd like your loved one to be cared for, I will do so in that manner. An obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how important that is to be said. If unsure or uncertain of care, we can brainstorm together as well to make sure I'm the correct sitter for the job.
“Excellent! Very professional and friendly when scheduling. She was very attentive with my dog and reported lots of details. I felt very comfortable with her and came home to a happy dog!”
“Sarah was so amazing with my dog and cat! She truly made me feel so at ease leaving them for the weekend. She is very attentive and will do whatever she can to make sure your pets are happy and cozy. I will definitely rebook her next time I need a sitter!!!”
About: My name is Alex Johnson and I am 29 years old and would love to dog/cat sit for you! I recently graduated from Rider University and looking for a friendly companion to look after in doing something I love. I am very responsible with dogs and give them all the attention they need! I am able to give your dog any treatments as needed. I will be 100% dedicated to your dog and will abide by any necessary requirements your dog needs. I always make sure that I have time for pet care and that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy to be with me! I take care of my 7 year old cat and 3 year old dog by responding to them in an attentive manner. They always get the best treatment!
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, though I’ve primarily grown up with small and medium breeds. I can handle daily routines, walks, playtime, and different personalities with patience and care. I’m open to caring for larger dogs as long as they are well-behaved and non-aggressive :). Clear communication about your dog’s temperament helps ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. I treat every dog with love, respect Baths are available upon request for $15.

“Jessica was amazing and took great care of Stella! She went above and beyond by picking up and dropping off and was super flexible. Will definitely be seeing her again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for pets with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and once I was old enough, I rescued, raised, and trained two puppies of my own from just 8 weeks old. That experience taught me the patience, consistency, attention, and responsibility that go into giving an animal the care they truly need.I’ve also had the privilege of caring for my parents’ senior Great Dane, who weighed approximately 130 pounds and was diagnosed with cancer. As he reached the later stages of his life and became unable to walk on his own, I helped provide the extra patience, attention, and hands-on care he needed to remain comfortable and feel loved. That experience taught me that caring for an animal isn’t always about the easy or playful moments—it’s about being there for them through every stage of life and making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m not a “one-size-fits-all” sitter. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes each pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether they need plenty of exercise and playtime, a consistent routine, extra patience and attention, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m prepared to give them the care they need. I work from home Monday through Friday until 4:30 PM, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care before and after my workday. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care outside of my working hours, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual schedule and needs. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take the time to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime schedules so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their space and personality. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend a lot of time with them throughout the day when I’m not working, rather than simply stopping in for a quick visit. I’ll also keep your home clean and cared for, and provide regular updates so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, relaxed, and well loved in the comfort of their own home.
About: Hello there ! My name is Grace and I am 25 years old living in Rochester NY and love all animals! I worked for Lollipop farm for about a year as an adoption counselor but decided to part ways with the career as I’ve found other hobbies. But since then I’ve always found my way back with fostering and animal sitting for friends and family. I’d love to extend the love to your furry friend too! I can’t wait to meet your animals and give them all the love! So I work full time right now but the hours aren’t the same each week but I’m always free before 9AM and the latest 9PM. So it all depends on the animals needs. I try to have them get use to my scent first, give them attention, and make sure to ask the owner as many questions as needed to make the situation easier for the animal. Since I would be someone new.
“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”
About: I grew up with dogs. I helped care for the family dog and in the past 6 years have periodically dog-sat for neighbors, family and friends. I love dogs and will love your dog like they are my own. I am a teacher who works 8:15 - 4:00 Monday through Friday. I have the summers off as well as holiday breaks. I keep an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog gets daily movement. I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood near a park. I have one dog, Hazel. She is amazing with other dogs and will be best friends with your dog by the end of the stay.
About: I’ve taken care of turtles, bunnies, cats dogs and ferrets ! All the way to fish and plants . Even animals /living things need care I have a part time job as a barista, and a full time job as a child care provider (yes i do teach pre k children as an assistant and take care of babies as young as 6 weeks!)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Irondequoit
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
Jessica took care of our 2 cats for 4 days, stopping in once/day. Our cats are very social with one in particular needing a lot of love. She made sure to communicate regularly (included pictures) and was very responsive to my texts. She seemed very thorough and left the kitties well taken care of. Thank you, Jessica!
We're so grateful to Lana for taking care of our kitty babies while we were away. She's responsible, reliable and very pleasant. This was our second time leaving our cats in her care. Knowing that she was there let us enjoy our vacation without worrying about home. She's wonderful!

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.
