“Abigayl has been such an awesome addition to our kitty, Annie’s life, and ours too! She has sat for us twice since moving to the area and has been great. She is thorough, follows care instructions, and our cat loves her. Our cat is very particular and a bit misunderstood, but she loves Abigayl! She also was able to step in and watch her totally last minute. She is our go to cat sitter in the area!”
“Fiona was amazing. She was so sweet, communicative, and sent me multiple photos of my baby every day. She took so much weight off my shoulders knowing my baby was well taken care of. I will absolutely be asking for her again.”
About: I grew up in a house that always had 2-4 large dogs at any given time. I often took care of them including walks and grooming, and did the same for neighborhood friends and family members as soon as I could ride a bike. In the past few years, I've also spent a lot of time around and caring for cats. As a graduate student, I currently have evenings free to drop in on pets when you're having a long day! My weekends are free for caring for your pets if you're ever out of town or need the hands! I'm comfortable with all kinds of dog and cat situations, and will take care to respect your home and keep your pets safe and cared for in that environment!
“Chelsea took a great care of our cat while we were on a trip. She also shared lots of photos of our cat during the drop in visits, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Chelsea!”
“Angela was a wonderful caretaker for my cats. They were all happy and healthy upon our return. Everything was very neat and tidy as well. I highly recommend Angela! I am excited to go on another trip knowing how well Angela worked out.”
About: I have taken care of multiple pets at a single time while handling health issues in those pets. As well I have housesat for multiple cats and I love taking care of pets of any kind!! I have classes during the week which range in time but usually around from around 10-3 ish as well as working in a lab, but I can always make time for the pets! I am fully available on the weekends as well!! I am able to do whatever routines your dog or cat is used to and walk them as much as they want and / or need!
About: I have 4 years experience caring for a wide range of small, medium, and large dogs. Having raised and trained my own pets, I understand every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines to follow. As a remote worker, I provide a relaxing home presence for your pets during all hours of the day. I also actively communicate with pet owners to make sure their pet's care schedules are met, such as scheduled feeding or exercise through text or photo updates. My goal is to keep your pet safe, keep you satisfied, and keep your home secure. As a remote worker, my daily schedule allows me to provide a relaxing home presence for your pets. I am available for overnight house sitting throughout the week and weekends. While my remote work keeps me at my desk in the late afternoon and evening, I step away regularly throughout my shift for potty breaks, food and water refills, and basic check-ups. This also means my mornings and early afternoons are wide open for essential walks and playtime. When staying at a client's home, I prioritize home security and cleanliness while adhering to your pet's routine. I keep all locks secured, maintain a clean workspace, and follow your care instructions regarding feeding, potty breaks, and any personalized care instructions. You can also expect regular text and photo updates for complete peace of mind.

About: Hi, I'm Layla! Animals have always been a part of my life—I've had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and more since I was born. Right now, I’m lucky to share my home with my fur bestie, Penny (my dog), and my five cats! My love for animals is endless, and I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. Whether your dog needs a fun, energetic walk or your cat just wants some love and affection, I’m here to make sure they get the best care possible. I’m experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated to providing a safe and fun experience for your pets. Let’s make sure your furry friends have a blast while you're away! I am currently a student and I commute to school. I only have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, otherwise I have a free and flexible schedule. I will work directly with the owner to know the adequate care needed for the pet and I will take action. I will always make sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
About: N/A, I am a cat specialist. I specialize in cats, from kittens to senior, with varied health and social needs. I am happy to assist with feeding fish as well and watering plants. I am open and flexible with my availability. I am a retired registered nurse and homeschool my daughter. My daughter may assist me with visits if the client is comfortable with that. She is very kind, gentle, and respectful and has helped me take care of foster kittens for several years. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each cat’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can provide consistent, low-stress care while you’re away. During visits, I ensure fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and a safe environment (checking doors, windows, and anything your cat could get into). I respect your home and follow all instructions closely. I’m also experienced with administering medications and monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I move at your cat’s pace—whether that means interactive play, gentle companionship, or giving space to shy or anxious cats. I never force interaction and always prioritize trust and comfort. You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your cat is safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own home.
About: What sets me apart is that I am caring, patient, responsible, and dependable. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I am happy to follow their routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away.☺️ Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins. I’m reliable and organized, so I can follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with different schedules and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their individual routines. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed.🙏
“This is the first time I have hired a cat sitter through Rover and I must say that my experience with Jamie was first class and I would definitely hire Jamie again. She was so responsive to all of my concerns and messages, adjusted her schedule to best serve my pets' expectations of feeding times, and took such good care of them while I was gone. She's also a wonderful person and so fun to talk with. I'm so glad I met her and will definitely ask for her again. Thank you, Jamie!!”
“Serena did a great job caring for our 3 goats while we were away on a long trip. She was always quick to respond, let us know about any issues occurring, and provided daily pictures. We would definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, turtles, fish, plants, and more. Very skilled at reading body language and being able to calm animals down. I’m experienced with puppy training and treat positive reinforcement. I am currently working part time mostly in the morning/early afternoon, so night time care is easy! Usually off work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and some weekends so midday care is definitely possible. Willing to work with your schedule if enough time is given in advance. I provide animal & plant sitting, animal & plant watering and feeding, cleaning litter boxes, snack giving, light training to encourage continued behaviors and tricks

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
Elise is an excellent pet sitter! She has looked after my cat Lulu multiple times now and I have been extremely happy with her pet sitting services. She always sends informative updates and pictures after seeing Lulu. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to be sure that their pet is receiving great care while they’re away.
Camila was amazing! My cat, Samy, need multiple medication every 12 hours and she took great care of him. Samy even hid under the couch for one of her visits but she managed to get him out and give him his medicine. Samy seems to have warmed up to her and started greeting her at the door when she arrived.
Caraline was absolutely fantastic with my kitty Kiki! We had never left her alone before, so I was a little nervous, but Caraline was so wonderful about giving her the space she needed. By the end, Kiki absolutely loved her! 🥹❤️ She was incredibly attentive the whole time, and I loved getting photos of my sweet girl every day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Kiki was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! 🐱💕
Dannie was fantastic with our cats (and with us!) Over the course of a week she took care of our 2 cats, feeding, water, litter, play, etc. She provided nice daily updates. She even got pictures of both of our cats (one was easy; the other tends to hide from strangers, so it's impressive that she got him to come out enough for a shot or two). Overall, Dannie was great. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
Kath has been wonderful with Billie. I truly appreciate how flexible and reliable she is, which makes scheduling much easier and less stressful. Knowing that she is a veterinary technician gives me extra confidence, especially when it comes to administering medications correctly and safely. Most importantly, she is someone I genuinely trust and feel secure leaving Billie with. I highly 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
