“Jules was wonderful with my dogs! She was reliable, caring, and made sure they were well taken care of during each drop-in visit. I felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”
“We simply could not have asked for better and we are so thrilled and relieved that we have found such great care for our 2 cats and one dog. We have a stretch booked with Paula for September and it gives us such peace of mind to know they will be so well cared for. Thank you Paula!”
“We are repeat clients of Jen’s. She gets cats and cat behavior. Our boy Giger vomited from eating too quickly and Jen asked if she could split his food at the beginning and end of her visits to slow him down. We agreed and it worked! She also brought her own shoe covers to keep our floors clean, which I appreciate! Highly recommend.”
“Kim is the best! She’s such a kind and considerate individual who made me feel so at ease on my trip. She took great care of my cat and I’d 100% recommend her to anyone else! You can definitely trust Kim with your pet care needs :)”
“I am so grateful to have found a dependable sitter that my boy Spud loves! She is professional, flexible to our routine, and I know they have fun together. I enjoyed all of the updates and pics/videos she sent while I was away missing him. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Ale asked all the right questions and had excellent communications. She handled our two large and rowdy dogs well, and thought ahead about what they needed. Our dogs are looking forward to seeing her again. Thank you, Ale!”
About: I’ve taken care of young puppies, energetic dogs and senior pets as well. We are an outdoorsie family and like to go for long walk and hikes with our dog. High energy pet is a no problem! Our current dog is a senior, so we have a nice accommodating environment for her and other senior pups. I’m staying home currently with a baby. I decided to start providing pet care for extra income and for interacting with other animals, as we are not a able to get more animals at this time. I have a large house with a one acre yard and an and an overhead trolley cable. There are multiple rooms where the dogs can rest and a large crate where the doggies can be if they feel safe there.
“Lexi was fabulous, Walter and Bageera were both very well taken care of and we were kept up to date the whole time. We missed our kids (pets) very much while we were gone but very confident that we left them in good hands with Lexi. NO WORRIES 😉 👍🏼”
About: I’m not here to “just stop by.” I’m here to do it properly. I notice what’s off, what’s needed, and what keeps your pet settled — and I handle it without making it a production. You get thoughtful updates, a respected home, and a pet that feels like nothing’s been disrupted. Pet care fits in cleanly — not squeezed in. I keep my schedule intentional, so when I commit to a visit, your pet gets my full attention, not whatever time is left over. I’m consistent, on time, and mindful of routines — because that’s what actually keeps pets settled. I treat your home like it’s yours — and your pet like they’re paying attention (because they are). I follow instructions closely, keep things clean and orderly, and stay aware of your pet’s behavior and environment at all times. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just attentive, reliable care so everything feels exactly as it should when you return.
“When I saw Paige was on Rover, I jumped to book her for drop-in visits during our vacation. Knowing her dedication and boundless affection for pets — no matter their quirks or issues! — from her work at the Ulster County SPCA, I knew my husband and I would be able to enjoy our trip without worry for our two elderly cattle dogs who need daily medication. Sure enough, our pups were well-cared for and are now both big fans of her. Thanks again, Paige!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child, and neighbors, family members, and clients have relied on me to walk, feed, and supervise their pets. I have dogwalked and petsit for many different households and love caring for animals and keeping them company. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for dogwalking and other pet caretaking needs. I can also pet and housesit on weekends if needed. For dogs, I love to take them on a stroll through the park. If you’d like, I can run with them and provide exercise activities. I can also drop by and feed your pets if need be, and I’m flexible according to your needs!
“Barbara is downright awesome. Leaving a pet for the first time is always tough, but Barbara made it as easy as could be. It doesn't hurt that our pooches both absolutely adore her! Beyond that, she was very communicative from the time we first messaged all the way up through the visit and beyond. We had a somewhat last minute family emergency that meant we had to cancel one visit and shift another, and Barbara was very understanding and flexible. Our pups can really be handful together (or by themselves sometimes, if we're being honest), but Barbara followed our instructions for how to play with them without it getting out of hand and by all accounts everyone had a blast. We got lots of wonderful pictures and updates from Barbara of our pups with their happiest faces on, playing with each other and by themselves. As I write this, the morning after coming home, our pooches are happy and playful but rested and not overly insane, just like I'd expect after day of good fun. I (and really, my dogs Tina & Russell) would absolutely recommend giving your dogs the opportunity to hang out with Barbara next time you need to get away.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 13 years old. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their pets. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have good quality of time to spend playing and walking with your beloved pet. I am available weekends and during the week any time. Whether you prefer to have your fur baby cared for at your house or mine, I am available to watch over them as if they were mine.
About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals. Whether it was cats, dogs, fish, snakes and plenty more I was always taking care of different animals. Now as I’ve grown older the love for animals has not stopped. Dogs are really the best companions and can understand you more than some humans. The love I have for animals is truly the same love I have for family members. I’ll always make sure they are being well taken care of, fed, running freely or on walks, playing and always loved! Your dog will be treated like my own! My work schedule varies quite a bit, I may need to go into work sometimes & in that case my mother is typically home anyway. Otherwise I am home I have a fenced in area for the doggies to run freely. I have a dog of my own so I know what a dog needs and the love and attention they deserve! They can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable with at my home.
“Linda was such a wonderful sitter for my little Lulu. Usually Lu is a bit crazy after I come back from a trip and she was calm as can be. I attribute that Linda’s warm presence as much as her care.”
“Alexa was wonderful with our cat and angora rabbits. She was very responsive and kept us up to date each day while we were away, which was very appreciated. I will definitely book with her again in the future”
About: Hi! I'm James, I have worked at an animal hospital for over a year and have experience walking, feeding, handling, and taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm also trained to handle various exotic pets. I also have over 2 years of experience as a dog walker. I would love to be able to fit pet care into my weekly routine after class, on weekends, and pretty much whenever I have the time. I have the most experience caring for exotic and small pets, and know how to engage with them, handle them, feed and care for them. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats and am able to notice unusual behavior and can alert the owner or potentially a veterinarian about it if need be. When I pet-sit I usually walk, feed, and spend time engaging and playing with the animal to make sure they don't miss out on exercise or socialization.

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.
