“Fawn does a great job of taking care of the dogs. She had to visit when I knew one of my dogs was sick and handled it like a friend would. I appreciate having someone care for my dogs, not just let them out to pee.”
“We had Shelby come over to care for our two cats while we traveled for 30 days. She is very kind, trustworthy, responsible and an animal lover. She communicated with me each time she stopped over at our house to let me know how our cats were. She did a great job!”
About: I love meeting new and different kinds of dogs and cats. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to watch their pets and found me as a reliable pet sitter. I will follow instructions as best I can. I’m currently trying to find a part time job, so for the time being I can do anytime, and I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have an invisible fence for my dog so she can roam free, I also use a leash when I take her for walks outside of my yard. But I can do whatever your pet needs.
About: Growing up I always had cats and/or dogs in the house so I've had animal caretaking experience since a very young age. I currently have a very sweet 2y/o XL Bully, a very crazy 9 y/o Pit Bull-Jack Russell Terrier mix, and two adorable kittens. I've stayed up to two weeks in non-family memeber's homes to care for their pets and have never had complaints I am currently unemployed. So I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pets. I'm searching for remote work so hopefully even when I'm employed I will be able to work around your animals' schedule. When I wake up I make sure the animals are fed before feeding myself, I don't let my day start unless their tummies are full. I love snuggling up with animals and making sure they have plenty of playtime.
“Alexis did an excellent job with Snickers. she stopped in ahead of the date I needed her so she could meet Snickers and we could visit which was very helpful to both of us on the day I was gone she sent pictures so I know Snickers so I knew Snickers was absolutely in good hands. I will definitely contact Alexis again.”
“Kelsey took excellent care of my senior cat with a kidney regimen. Multiple meds and sub Q injections went smoothly right on schedule. Communication went well with visit updates, would book again.”
“This was the first time watching our dog and she did an amazing job. We booked her on short notice and she prioritized coming to meet our dog before the scheduled day. She sent many pictures of her visit and arrived promptly to take care of her.”

I really appreciated the fact that Tiffany came to the house before my trip and made me feel comfortable about her caring for my pets while we were gone. She truly showed interest in caring for them. I enjoyed getting the updates and photos from her when she came to care for my pets too.
We had Shelby come over to care for our two cats while we traveled for 30 days. She is very kind, trustworthy, responsible and an animal lover. She communicated with me each time she stopped over at our house to let me know how our cats were. She did a great job!

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.
