“I had a family emergency and had to quickly book a cat sitter. Kim made herself almost immediately available to complete a meet and greet and go over the needs of my two cats. Kim's communication and dedication to caring for our cats went beyond what I could ever expect. I am thankful for Kim as she was understanding, helpful and flexible during a terrible time in my life. I really recommend booking her to anyone. My cat who is extremely shy even enjoyed Kim's company. Will definitely book again!”
“You can really tell that Stephanie is a pro! She was very mindful of my super anxious kitty and took such great care of her while I was out of the country. She has such a calming presence, followed all instructions, communicated thoroughly, and was very respectful of my home. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have had pets as far back as I can remember. They are family to me. I dog-sit and cat-sit for my daughter regularly. I've rescued many cats and a few dogs here and there. I'll move a turtle from the road. I let bugs out of the house. You get the idea. I work full time during the day, but I would love to help with pet care during evenings and weekends. I'm highly active, love walking dogs, and can easily build pet care into my routine outside of standard business hours. I prefer to come to your house for pet sitting and walking but am willing to pet sit at my place if necessary. Food and water of course but I will also talk, walk, and play with them as needed.
“Beanie was well taken care of while I was away. Stephanie kept me updated and I knew he was in great hands! I will recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond for your pet/family member!”
“Kristin did a such a great job with our cats! She made us feel so much better about having to leave them for a trip. She’s very communicative and reliable, I highly recommend her.”
“Maddie is great! She did drop-in visits with our 12yo pup and made sure to send photos each day. We appreciated her flexibility to do a meet and greet prior to the booking as well. 5 stars!”
“Lauren was AMAZING with Kiwi while I was on vacation. She was extremely patient and calm which helped a lot. Kiwi turned out to be very shy and hid under the couch for a few days. Lauren was patient with her and made her feel comfortable to come out and play. I 100% recommend Lauren to take care of your pet while you’re away. She shows great care and puts your mind at ease! Also, expect the cutest photos of your pet everyday”
“Sarah always makes me feel relieved when I go away and treats my kitties like royalty. Communication is always great and I know my cats are well cared for, loved and having fun!”
“Carol was great! I have never had so little to do when returning from a trip! The cats were happy, no messes (that's a big thing with my cats!) and it was wonderful to know they were so well cared for. Carol was very communicative and went the extra mile. I will definitely ask her to sit again. ”
About: I've had dogs and cats for years. I have friends in the animal rescue business, so I've also fostered animals in the past as well. I'd love to meet your crew and take care of him/her/all of them while you are away. Thanks for thinking of me with such an important job! I currently work from home and am available for drop-in visits during the day, evenings or weekends. I'm usually able to work around my day job, and will try to accommodate your needs. My home is a pet-friendly environment. Currently, I have a dog (who loves everyone), and 3 cats. Dogs are welcome in my house, but cats here might be an issue. However, I'd love to watch those kittens at your place. Dogs are always a treat too!
“I rebooked with Olivia and she was amazing again! She gave my cat Leo lots of love and kept his litter box and food area clean! She is great at communicating, will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten me through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee! I also live with my boyfriend as a heads up! He is lovely pet owner and loves my girl like she is his own!
About: Animals have always been present in my life as I have always had dogs (and more!) in my home. I spent the last ten years managing a farm rescue site that allowed me to care for equine, goats, pigs, cats, ducks, chickens and more. The position allowed me to learn quite a bit about caring for the animals welfare, as well as learning about the various animal behaviors and their unique ways they communicate and live together as one big farm family. With 15+ years of animal care of all sizes, including small caged pets, I am comfortable and experienced with special needs, medication dispensing, as well as senior care. Pet care has always been the focus of my daily routine. Having personal pets as well as formally managing an equine and farm animal rescue site for ten years, caring for animals and having them accompany me through my every day life is just natural for me. Establishing trust with animals and prioritizing their safety are the elements of care that I focus on as an animal caretaker. Fenced yards and doggie doors at my home allow my dogs freedom and safety. Respecting schedules and routines when visiting clients of pets at other homes is another focus as it reduces potential stress on others pets. Pet care, allowing owner peace of mind is a top priority.
About: I provide reliable drop-in visits and energy-burning dog walks for pet owners who want peace of mind while they're away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, fresh water, feeding, playtime, companionship, or a long walk to work off extra energy, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. I have personally owned and cared for dogs for more than 22 years and understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Through years of hands-on experience, I've learned how important consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions are to a dog's overall well-being. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet in my care with the same attention and affection I give my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet's specific routine and care instructions. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed and instructions are provided), and plenty of love and attention. For walks, I enjoy giving dogs the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay healthy and content. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide drop-in visits and walks during available hours. I believe pets deserve quality one-on-one attention, and I make every effort to ensure they receive the time, care, and exercise they need. My goal is to help you feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work from home so if your needs are during the week I can do 2 drop in’s or walk during the week. I can do anytime on the weekends. I currently have a dog that doesn’t always do well with other dogs. He has never bitten anyone but I’m not sure how he would react with another dog in the house.
“Highly recommend as Katherine is trustworthy, was always on time for the walks and provided images and status updates. Our dog is not an easy dog (lots of anxiety with new people) and Katherine did an amazing job and was clearly patient. She gave us very clear communication throughout the entire process and we were extremely happy with the services provided.”
About: pet owner of senior cat and dog (unfortunately, the cat passed away in her sleep in December of last year). taking good care of pets of neighbour if they needed. I'm currently working part-time for UPS, so I am available to play with your pups after 2pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. the neighbourhood is safe. and there is a secured backyard in the house for pups to play and excerciseand also I could crate them if needed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Sarah is a great sitter! She was also able to accommodate a meet and greet and a check-in on pretty short notice. She was also very sweet with our cat and left great notes and photos on the Rover card that showed he was happy and comfortable with her. I know our cat would love to see her again!
Kim is always awesome with our cat Mateo! We were extra thankful this time when she accepted a last minute request the week before we were heading out of town. She rolled with a food change for our buddy and took excellent care of him, as always. We are very thankful to have someone we trust and who Mateo loves. He is picky about people but he curled up in her lap when she was here. Thanks Kim!
Oceana is a pro pet sitter! I could tell Taco enjoyed his time with her from the many thoughtful photo updates sent while I was out of town. She has vast experience with animals and it shows. Super easy to deal with and will definitely book again. Thank you! 😊
Bonnie was wonderful! She helped us out on short notice and over the holiday weekend. We were so thankful and pleased with her response time, availability, follow-up, daily checking with pictures and overall professionalism. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and our babies were well taken care of!!
Amazing! Very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and spent quality time with my cats. I felt really reassured while I was away knowing they were in good hands. Both of my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely book again!

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 .

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.
