“Kaitlyn was wonderful with our 3 cats, one of whom required an eye drop at each visit! She went above and beyond keeping our floors and home tidy; was communicative and easy to work with. It was clear our kitties were well cared for🥰 Thank you!”
“Ashley was amazing she was my first time using Rover and made me feel so at ease. She took such good care of my kitties and was very responsive. Highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is deep, hands-on experience with trust-building and confidence work across all life stages. I’ve hand-raised a litter of seven newborn kittens, animals with disabilities, and been a dad to many rescues. Most recently, I was a dad to a rescue pitbull for over 12 years, a relationship that required patience, structure, and calm leadership. Together we learned how to overcome his history of abuse and worked to feel safe around people and in the world. Through that experience, I developed strong skills in reading body language, respecting boundaries, reinforcing positive behaviors, and creating predictable routines that help dogs feel secure. I do not use or condone aversive techniques; I rely exclusively on positive, reward-based handling, and if a dog arrives with aversive equipment, (such as a choke or prong collar), I will replace it with a safer alternative while they are in my care. I’m especially comfortable supporting anxious, sensitive, senior, and high-energy dogs, including strong or behaviorally reactive breeds, and I prioritize safety, trust, and emotional well-being. Pet care has alway been part of my daily life. Meal times, walk times, nap times, play times… I’m familiar and flexible with meeting the routine needs of our fur babies. Every animal is unique, so I rely heavily on responsible owners to communicate the type and level of care that suits their fur baby best. I live in an apartment, and I understand the space needs for larger animals. I accommodate this by being active outside. The apartment dog park, the local pond, and neighboring trails are my go-tos for regular leg-stretching.
“AJ is the best! I definitely feel at ease about leaving my cats when I’m out of town knowing they’re in good hands! She goes above and beyond to take great care of them.”
“Andrea came in last minute with short notice and took care of my pup when my family member couldnt make it! She was awesome with my pup and took great care of him in my stead. Definitely super appreciative and grateful that she was available and flexible with the schedule. Overall I was pleased with her response time and how she was understanding of my situation and concerns; she definitely lifted a weight off my shoulders and it definitely sl showcased her love for animals. Until next time Andrea, take care!(:”
About: I got my first dog when I was 12. His name was Sebastion and he was literally my best friend through some tough middle school years. He lived to the ripe old age of 13 and were always together except in my college years. More recently I have been house sitting and dog-sitting for family members and friends. I can not emphasize enough how much animals are drawn to me. It's like a not-so-super-power, I'm always that guy at the party that gets trapped by the dog or cat on the couch (I say trapped but I love it!). When I’m house-sitting, I’m generally there full-time. I am recovering from sciatica at the moment so I’m not working my other job right now. Which means I will be there almost all the time to give your animals all the pets and play they can handle. I take my clients privacy very seriously. I would never invite anyone else over to your house. I am definitely on the introvert side of the personality scale, so I’m quite happy hanging out reading, binging tv and loving on animals. I sometimes joke that I like animals more than humans. I’ve been with Rover for over two years now and have some of the best metrics and reviews in the area. I’ve never had any major issues or emergencies. But, I’ve done quite a bit of research on dog and animal care and have no doubt that I could spot behavior that isn’t normal and that could be medically relevant. I would love to be your pets’ temporary human while you’re away and their forever sitter! I’m recovering from a back injury at the moment so this is my main gig. So I am available for your pets pretty much full time. I will sometimes head to my house for a few hours in afternoon but rarely more than a few hours. I'm not currently living in residences where I can board pets, landlord won't allow it. When i move, which should be soon, I will offer this service.
“Tracey is so great with my cat! He’s been so shy with other sitters in the past but I know he gets the attention he needs when she’s around. Tracey has taken care of him a couple times already and I know I’ll be booking with her more in the future :)”
“Geoffrey was great for dropping in to feed and walk my dog, Duke. He was not hesitant to give him lots loving and attention, as well as administer his medicine, despite my dog’s medical issues. He even sent me lots of picture updates. I would recommend him and would book again in the future!”
About: I’ve had many pets over the years since I was a child. I have cared for friends/family pets whenever they needed it. I’ve cared for cats and dogs that range from large to small, so there’s no pet i can’t handle 😌 I am currently a student at Austin Community College, I take my courses online, and that makes my schedule very flexible and able to adapt to most pet care needs Safety is my absolute priority. I always check well being of pets, and ensure they have a safe environment to be in I make sure to follow pet parents instructions and schedules to the letter On walks, I make sure pets remain on their leash and remain mindful of other people and pets I know how hard it is to leave your pet, which is why I provide complete transparency, and send daily updates on your pets 🐕🐈
“This is my second time having Sinthiana take care of my boy and again she was amazing! Super communicative, went above and beyond to entertain my cat. Couldn’t recommend her more to take care of your fur baby.”
“Brandy is reliable, communicative and kept my cat safe, well fed and cared for. She even brought her own cat toy to play with him, and charged one of his toys to play. She brought in a package that came while I was travelling and overall gave me peace of mind while I was gone - I didn't have to worry about my cat or my apartment at all!”
“Sierra was super communicative and helpful!! I don’t usually let people help me take care of my babygirl, and Sierra made sure she was taken care of. She did more than I asked of her which really helped ease a lot of my anxiety! I highly recommend reaching out to her and letting her take care of your babies!”
“Bethany was wonderful with my cat while I was away for three days. She is clearly a natural with animals and provided such caring, attentive service. It’s a huge relief to know my cat was in such kind hands. I’ll definitely be asking for her help again!”
“Kristie is an incredible cat sitter! She is a quick communicator and seems to genuinely enjoy checking in on your pets 🐱 she always gives sweet updates and sends cute photos. Will be booking her in the future for sure!”
“Rose was fantastic! She was incredibly helpful, communicative, and professional throughout the entire process. We really appreciated how easy she made everything and would definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was soo great with the boys! They seemed to have really enjoyed her company, and were both very relaxed when we got back home. She was very good about communication, and great with the updates. We really appreciate her help, and will definitely consider her the next time!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jollyville
We had another great experience with Mackenzie! Everything was exactly how we left it, and the house was vacuumed just like I asked. Most importantly, our pets were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We definitely recommend her, and we’ll for sure keep her in mind for future bookings.
Emeli was an absolute a fantastic cat sitter! She took incredible care of my cat during every visit. She made sure everything was handled flawlessly, from scooping the litter box, replenishing fresh food, and refilling the water, to taking the time to gently brush him and play with his favorite toys. My cat was completely relaxed and happy around her. What really stood out was her reliability and communication. Emeli was always strictly on time for every scheduled visit and sent detailed updates along with tons of adorable, high-quality photos and videos that immediately put my mind at ease while I was away. Highly recommended to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
We are so appreciate of Hannah helping us navigate a difficult situation with our pets while we were on vacation. I really trusted her and she absolutely delivered. Absolutely recommend if you are nervous about a medical need or delicate situation. She’s the sweetest.
Briana took great care of our kitty! She was able to get our shy girl to warm up to her, gave her meds, and spent extra time with her so she wouldn't be lonely. :) We had plenty of updates with pictures along the way. We will certainly use her services again if given the chance!
Samantha took great care of our two cats Minks and Leo. She provided daily reports and pictures. She was able to give our cat Minks his insulin shot twice a day and our other cat Leo his thyroid medicine. She also went the extra mile to brush them and give them pets. Samantha went above and beyond to help us out with a house key situation. She was very responsive and I would definitely recommend her.

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.

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.
