“Mitzi was amazing with our 7-year-old cat, Chloe, who is often skittish and bitey around people. By the end of our trip Chloe was sitting in Mitzi's lap and looking happy as can be.”
About: For me, pets are more than animals — they’re family. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, attention, and care that makes them feel safe and loved. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s unique routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own, and I’ll do my best to make every visit a happy one! I balance pet care with my regular work schedule and make an effort to be dependable, organized, and communicative with every pet parent. I can coordinate visits, walks, and sitting around my availability, including evenings and weekends when arranged in advance. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll also keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, habits, feeding instructions, and any special needs before caring for them. I’m happy to follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secure, use leashes properly, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, comfortable environment. I also believe communication matters, so I’ll gladly send photo updates and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved!
“Our cats were in excellent hands with Elisa. She was responsive with her updates and photos, and the cats warmed right up to her. Thanks for taking care of our cats!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my house my entire life, and have many years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals for my neighbors, friends, and family. I currently work part-time and am home without plans for much of the week! This allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pets I understand each family has certain preferences and needs and do my best to provide personalized care to all of your furry friends. I am very easy to contact and do not hesitate to send updates and ask for clarification!
“I can't recommend Zosha highly enough. I scheduled daily visits while we were on vacation for our cat Chloe to be given her medication and some love - and Zosha did such a great job at both! He went out of his way to give her plenty of affection and even treats on her puzzle toy. Everything was clean and left in great shape, Zosha was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures! Chloe is definitely a fan, and so are we. Thanks again, Zosha!”
“Kelly was such a wonderful sitter for our two pups. She was on time, gave a detailed report with photos, and communicated well. It felt great to know that the dogs were taken care of while we were on our trip. I will absolutely be using Kelly again!”
“Hannah is the best as usual! She was able to drop in on my dog for a last minute request. I love the great report and pictures from each visit! My dog also adores getting belly rubs from Hannah🙂”
“Kyle was amazing! He took great care of our very social cat, gave him all the attention he needed, and was very responsive in the app. Kyle went above and beyond keeping our home clean and we enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing our boy was in good hands. 10/10 recommend booking him!”
“Presha was amazing! She was super friendly, caring, and reliable. She took great care of my cat and followed all my instructions carefully. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up surrounded by dogs, I always knew I’d have one of my own someday. In 2023, I adopted my sweet girl, Okie, and she’s been my best friend ever since! I raised and trained Okie myself, and she’s grown into such a loyal, loving, and well-behaved companion. Having her has only deepened my love for dogs and taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding their individual personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their little quirks! Whether your pup is full of energy and loves a good adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed stroll, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and will always prioritize your dog’s happiness and safety. As a dog mom myself, I know how much our pets mean to us, and you can trust that I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! As a dog mom myself, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life! I’m used to planning my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure my pup gets plenty of attention. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so incorporating extra walks and quality time with furry friends into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to! My schedule is pretty flexible Monday-Friday, so I can accommodate with your time. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry best friend is in good hands! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure each dog feels loved and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routines, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. I’ll always respect your care instructions, stay attentive to their behavior, and happily send photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

I have 1 cat and he has all his vaccines and been neutered. He also gets along with other cats.
About: I have experience with dog training, specifically puppies. I had the good fortune of learning how to train my Border Collie puppy, Khailo, (now 10) with a CCI-certified service dog trainer specializing in puppies. Khailo and I saw the trainer multiple times per week for about a year, establishing a good foundation that he always go back to. Raising Khailo taught me so much and turned me into a HUGE dog lover. Prior to that I liked dogs, now I LOVE them, and speak their language. I know how to properly walk a dog instead of letting the pup walk me, I know how to encourage good habits, and I will ALWAYS keep your dog's safety a number one priority. I also have experience administering medication to both puppies and adult dogs, have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, have experience watching multiple dogs at once, and also have experience with play-dates and dog parks. I will treat your pup as if they are my own. I look forward to being of service to you and your pup! I currently work full-time with a hybrid schedule, where I’m in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have both daytime and evening availability on Tuesdays, Fridays, weekends, and all major holidays. I am also available on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings before 8 am and evenings after 6:15 pm. I am open to both short-term and long-term set schedules to accommodate you and your pup's needs, and am available for boarding at my home and pet/house-sitting at your place of residence. I live in a very pet-friendly community with lots of outdoor space for your pup to play, as well as an indoor dog park for inclement and/or freezing temperatures. When providing care at your home, I will respect all rules you have for your pup, such as not being allowed on furniture, etc. and will stick to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. I would be providing service outside of my home. Your pup’s safety is my number one priority and, having been trained by a CCI service dog trainer myself, I am well-versed in translating your dog behavior, thus keeping them safe in all environments and under all circumstances. I am a very maternal person, and will give your pup all of the love, care and attention they need!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Vivian. She was extremely dependable, followed Sebastian's routine, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. Sebastian was happy and relaxed when I got home. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust completely. Plus she lives close by!!!—10/10!”
“Prisila is super sweet. Took care of my kitten while I was on a trip. Sent photos and videos to keep me updated. When I picked her up, all of her stuff was ready to go. Definitely recommend.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Barcroft
I came home from a long weekend trip and my Charlize was probably disappointed it wasn’t Richard walking through the door. Think they became fast friends! I loved the timely updates and videos Richard shared and Charlize is looking forward to his visits in the future!
Mitzi is a fantastic cat sitter. She came to the house a few days prior to my 7-day trip away. Met my cat (a ragdoll) and got to know her and her likes/dislikes. She sent me pictures and updates daily which was very sweet and great to hear the feedback. When I got home my cat who usually gets very upset with me for leaving (sitting with her back towards me and yelling loudly) didn’t do any of that. I think it’s because she liked Mitzi. Highly recommend Mitzi.
Rachel has been wonderful with my tuxedo cat on multiple sittings and has been a life saver on short notice. She followed exact instructions for feeding, play, and litter box clean up. She’s incredibly communicative with detailed notes, quick response times, and photos. She definitely provides a playful and carrying environment for my tuxedo. Her warmth and care of means I can come home to a happy, relaxed, albeit a bit chatty cat.
Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.
We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward. On that one day we had his services, he was very communicative, sent photos and videos playing with our cat, and overall checked off all our boxes. Excellent experience working with him!

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.

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 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.
