“This is the second time I’ve booked Amy to take care of my boys while I’m out of town and she did amazing. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to book with her!”
“Laura was very attentive to my 3 girls (cats), and went above and beyond doing a couple other things that needed done daily. I enjoyed my trip knowing that everything was taken care of! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been responsible for pet care in my household for nearly 30 years. Cats, dogs, rabbits, birds—all the fur babies! I’m happy to be a temporary best friend with your furry loved ones while you’re away, from St Bernards to tabbies and everything in between, for an hour or a week—I’ve got it covered :) I work on a contracted schedule and can build my regular day around your pet needs, whether for a few hours or a few weeks. I enjoy daily walks and have tons of time and patience to bring your furry friend with me for some exercise. Your pets are safe in your home with me! I ensure that I know the ins and outs of the space before I join your furry friend alone. I believe in maintaining the routines and boundaries you have in place so that your pet feels as comfortable and relaxed in their own space.
“Amanda was wonderful with my cat, Zoe! She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, which made me feel more at peace. She was patient, kind, attentive and took the time to earn Zoe's trust—something that isn't easy. By the end of my trip, Zoe was following her around, letting Amanda pet and play with her. That meant so much to me. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else to watch Zoe. I'll definitely be booking Amanda again!”
About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jerome
My husband and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mary Ann! We recently moved to Springfield, and until now, we’ve only ever trusted family to care for our sweet Bunny, so finding someone we felt comfortable leaving him with was incredibly important to us. Mary Ann exceeded every expectation! She made sure Bunny felt safe, comfortable, and loved in his own home while we were away. She sent us pictures during every visit and was always incredibly responsive, never taking more than five minutes to answer whenever we reached out. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us such peace of mind and made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing Bunny was in such wonderful hands. We are beyond grateful to have found her. I honestly can’t think of leaving Bunny under the care of anyone else but her. She’s officially a part of our family. We highly recommend her!
Laura was seriously so sweet and amazing with my kitty! 🥹 This was my first time leaving her while I was away, so of course I was a little worried, but Laura made me feel so much better. She sent me cute pictures and updates, played with her, and I could tell my kitty was super comfortable with her. She even left out the red string they were playing with, and when I got home my kitty was STILL obsessed with it 😂❤️. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust with my little kitty. Definitely would book with Laura again!! 🐱💕
Derek is awesome! He took such great care of my cat Mittens. He was very communicative throughout the process, taking lots of pictures, sending updates, and checking in with questions as necessary. I felt Mittens was in good hands and I'd definitely book him again!
Jossalyn took such great care of our kitties, and communicated very well with us throughout our trip. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, and was very sweet and gentle with our cats. She even convinced our one skittish cat who normally never comes out for cat sitters to come out and eat some tube treat from her! She also sent cute pics of them for each visit. :) I would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
