“Megan did an awesome job taking care of and over seeing our boy. Really appreciated Megan’s attention to detail, notes and pictures. Will definitely use Megan and Rover again for our next trip!”
“Florence took care of our 3 cute rabbits and did a great job caring for them and keeping us updated with photos and messages! She even did visits after a big snowstorm that made it tough to get into our house while we were gone. She was professional and kind, we will likely book her again and recommend her to anyone in the area with pet sitting needs!”
About: I have experienced watching animals as a pet care provider for years. My mom had started ALA about 5-6 years ago and ever since I've learned so much about dogs and cats. I work but at night, I usually am 3rd shift but get home and can stay home for the majority of the day apart from school from 12-2pm. I am pretty flexible too. At home we are fenced in and I've had years of shadowing my mom who used to work in a veterinary hospital. She has shown me how to safely care for animals and even certain medications. I have loved working with them.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love taking care of them. I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I also grew up on a farm where I helped take care of all kinds of animals, which taught me to be responsible, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of any age, size, and personality. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, I do have a busy schedule, but I make sure to prioritize my time so that any pets in my care get the attention they deserve. I can work my classes and study around walks, playtime, feeding, or any special needs your pets might have. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making them a part of my daily routine fits in naturally. At home, I have two Golden Retrievers and two cats, so caring for pets is part of my daily life. I love taking my dogs on hikes or for drives to burn off energy, and I’m all about cuddling and giving attention to my cats. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do the same. Following their routines, making sure they get exercise, playtime, and lots of love so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Sara went above and beyond to help our shy kitty get some snuggles in. We highly recommend Sara. And would use her again.She took care of out plants, and was consistent in every way. I didn't need to worry about a thing. 5 star service.”
About: Hello! My name is Sophia and I absolutely adore all kinds of animals! I have had pets since I was very young, and I have a lot of other experience watching neighborhood cats and dogs, as well as walking them! I love to play with pets, cuddle with them, and take pictures, too! The extra benefit to this is that I can send you adorable pictures of your furry family members while you’re away. I would make sure that they get all of the food, water, walks, and potty breaks they need—not to mention love! I am happy to stay over night, especially on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently available for anytime, as I work remotely. As long as I have the wifi password, I am all set to stay all day! I would only be interested in going to pet owners’ homes, as my house is already full of my own pets! I’m also happy to house sit.
“Andrea was great with my cat. She saved the day when my flight was delayed by last minute dropping in to feed and play with Milo and put a meal delivery in the fridge.”
About: I was born with no hands but that has never ever stopped me!! I've owned pups most my life! Big and small! I've taken many on tons of walks! I enjoy playing with them and feeding them treats! Sunday: 5pm-10pm Monday-Friday: Depends on work schedule at Daycare Saturday: Free all day I also do Vacations so if you want to leave for a week, I can take care of them but I'll still have to leave for work which would at most be 5 hours! I've stayed nights at places as well but I won't if you're uncomfortable with that! Whatever you want! I am not doing in home care at this time. My kitty would be very very mad at me. Some day I'll look into it!
“Cassandra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! She followed all instructions and went above and beyond for the upkeep of the apartment. From the photos Cassandra sent, it seemed like my cat had a good time with her and I can tell she loves cats. I would definitely recommend Cassandra for your cat sitting needs:)”
About: I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors and treat every pet like family. I provide reliable care, walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home as an interpreter. My flexible schedule allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I am able to maintain their normal routines and provide regular updates to owners, helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re away. I provide attentive, personalized care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive proper exercise, companionship, and affection while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Abby made our family feel so at ease while gone for over a week. She is amazing and took so many photos of our kitty and it truly felt she enjoyed being with her. I would highly recommend Abby! 10/10.”
About: Hi! I'm Elena. While I am new to pet sitting on Rover, I have spent my whole life caring for animals as a go-to pet caregiver to many of my family and friends' dogs, cats, and even bearded dragon. Growing up around pets taught me the real daily dedication it takes to keep an animal happy, safe, and on schedule, from morning and evening feedings to medication routines and plenty of play. I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure your pets get their vital potty breaks, fresh water, and midday love without breaking their comfort zone. I’m incredibly reliable, communicative, and punctual about following your exact daily instructions. I will always send you detailed updates and plenty of photos from each visit so you can feel completely at ease while you're away! I'm currently working part-time and in full-time online college classes, which gives me incredible flexibility to dedicate plenty of quality time for your pets! Because my schedule is very open, I am fully available for drop-in visits and walks every single weekend and Tuesday/Thursday. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am completely free anytime after 10AM to pop in, handle feedings, stretch their legs, and give them lots of love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every drop-in visit. When entering your home, I double-check that all doors and gates are securely closed behind me so your pet stays safe inside. I carefully follow your specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, and medication routines. I always use a secure leash on walks, keep a close eye on their surroundings, and will send you detailed photo updates from start to finish.
About: I’ve been responsible for friends and family’s pets since roughly 16, more recently cats in the last 4 years. Plenty of experience all the way from small skittish beagles to large reactive pit mix’s. The key is patience and that’s one thing I can promise with your pet, understanding and dealing with different breeds, ages, sizes, behaviors and sometimes even disabilities/health concerns (we love em all). Also have experience with cats, all the way to senior cats with disabilities/health concerns (hearing & kidney failure) to fat cats with spicy attitude, I would like to say I have a plethora of different experience to care for your pet. Lastly, I think I would be a great sitter by being patient and simply understanding what pets mean to people! I do work full time in office but have work from home flexibility, as well as I pick my hours so can be available if needed. I prefer boarding on the weekends but can be available during the week! I can be available to let your dog out every 2 hours if needed, as well as give medication, feed them, and play with them as well. I live in a 1BR Deluxe duplex, have half of the first floor house to myself, so ample room for another or two. Do have liter box, as well as enough space for another if needed. As well as enough space for a dog crate and their favorite toys, food and treats :) My young pit mix has plenty of space shared with Gibby my cat, but they always choose to lay on the same bed together !
About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog; pit bulls, poodles, doodles, labs, golden retrievers, Bernese Mt. I have cat sit experience as well. I currently have at home 3 dogs one is 2 and the other is 5 and the oldest one is 11. I have experience with senior dog care as well as administering medications and special food or diet restrictions. I look forward to taking care of your animal! Right now I am currently available everyday as I just completed my college degree. My schedule is open for house sitting, dog walking, or bathroom breaks. I offer a safe environment with other dogs to play with being my 3 dogs. I prefer watching your dogs overnight at your house, but possibly can make arrangements to stay at my house.
“Samantha is wonderful. She was very detailed during our orientation and asked great questions. We had some major vacation issues which required us to modify our plans. She was very accommodating and understanding. It is obvious that she loves animals and did a great job following our instructions. I can’t thank her enough. I highly recommend her to care for your animals.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jenison
Alicia and her daughter were INCREDIBLE pet sitters. They were timely, communicative, gave awesome feedback, and even did an extra stop in when one of our cats potentially consumed something they shouldn’t have. Would HIGHLY recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone to take care of their babies!
This was my first time using Rover and I had a great experience with Meghan. She was available even though the booking was short notice (under two weeks). We met briefly to go over the pets’ routine before we left. She was efficient and communicative, sending photos and responding if I had any questions. Many thanks, Meghan! Good luck with the end of vet school!

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.

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 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.
