“Corrinna was wonderful. I was so worried about leaving my cats for a week. She did a daily drip-in and made sure that all was OK. She even got my skidish one to come out and play. Sent lots of pics and made me feel much better. She even let me know that my neighbors were taking care of my plants.”

“Jessica went above and beyond for me and my cat while I was out of town. She was receptive of the instructions and carried them out well. She spent time hanging out with my cat who gets lonely while I'm away which means a lot. Timely check ins and adorable photo updates. I would definitely recommend and re-book!”

I was so nervous to leave my baby with a stranger, but Miriah immediately calmed those nerves as I knew he was in great hands! 100/10 will be recommending her to anyone who needs a trustworthy pet sitter :)”

“Peyton was so good with our cats. She was always on time, flexible and quick to respond on semi-short notice for pet sitting on the holiday weekend! She offered to come over ahead of the scheduled times so that she could meet me and the cats, which was super nice and it made me feel more comfortable!! She sent lots of photos and even scooped the litter box, fed our fish and brought out packages in while we were out. I highly recommend Peyton!!”

“When Cinder and I met Ruth, we knew it’d be a great fit! I was out of the country for quite some time and Ruth had me feeling at ease knowing she was taking great care of Cinder. The report cards with photos were exactly what I needed to know he was perfectly fine. I would recommend Ruth to anyone that needs a sitter!!”

She loves animals and it shows! I will be sure to use Susan again the next time I need a pet sitter as my kitties were in good hands!”

About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.

About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I grew up raising puppies from birth and training them to go with their forever homes. As I got older I began walking and pet sitting when the owners needed. :) I’m currently a full time college student so I am free in the afternoons to walk, run, or play with your furry little baby’s when they need a break outside. When watching your babies it would depend on what amenities you have available. However regardless I would provide your animals with love, care and attention, ensuring they got plenty of time outside to use the bathroom, play, and lots of petting!

I’m available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, or midday check-ins, making me a reliable choice for your pet. Your furry friend will always have my undivided attention and care, no matter the day or time. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, which is why I’m happy to provide care in your home. This ensures your furry family member can stick to their routine and feel safe while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and pet with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is kept tidy and your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and care.

About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, from fish and small pets to dogs, cats, livestock, and horses. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. For 10 years, I dedicated my time to rehabilitating dogs that were considered unadoptable. I worked with them patiently, helping them build trust and confidence before finding them loving, perfect homes. That experience taught me how important patience, compassion, consistency, and understanding are when caring for animals. I currently have two dogs who are very much part of our family. Copper, my Basset Hound, is one of my children, and Oakley, our adopted German Shorthaired Pointer, has a special place in our hearts as well. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, which is why I take that responsibility very seriously. I am also a mom to four kids ranging from 12–19 years old, and they share my love for animals and are huge animal advocates themselves. Our family has always believed that animals deserve patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. When your pets are with me, they aren’t just being watched—they’re being loved, cared for, and treated like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in your absence. I currently work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I do sometimes have extracurricular activities with my kids showing livestock and FFA events but can work around that. When I care for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I know that pets feel safest when they are in their own familiar environment, so I make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care they would get from their family. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special needs your pets may have. I will also spend quality time with them so they receive plenty of attention and don’t feel lonely while you’re away. With my 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and many other types of pets, I am comfortable handling animals with different personalities and needs. My experience rehabilitating dogs for 10 years has also taught me the importance of patience and understanding, especially with animals that may be nervous, anxious, or have behavioral challenges. While I’m in your home, I will treat it with the same respect I would my own. I will keep your pet’s areas clean, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply a job. Animals are my passion, and I will care for your pets as if they were part of my own family.

Madison was amazing! We went out of town for a weekend getaway and were so anxious about leaving our cats behind. However, Madison eased all these worries away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell my cats were in caring hands. She was able to get my reserved cat to come out of his shell and even administered medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

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.

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 .

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.
