“Rose has been fantastic with our cats on multiple visits. When we were still working on integrating our new cat that had previously been a stray, she was happy to work with our special set up. She recently watched our cats over Christmas, and did a great job.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid —cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own! I work weird hours and days so I’m available at times most people aren’t! If you’re looking for someone that will be in town during holidays, that would be me! I understand every pet is different and might take time to adjust. I care about sticking to a schedule and keeping the pets feeling cared about regarding routine, habits, medications, and whatever else they might need. I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid growing up on a farm- cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own!
“Laura did a great job. Whiskers can be a challenge showing up at all hours of the night and Laura was there to let him in. She made sure he had his wet food, treats and Hydra care just as I requested. She watered our plants and when I got home the house was just as clean as when I left.”
“Mandi was amazing!!! Mandi watched our sweet 10-year-old Maine Coon mix boy, Poseidon. Mandi was responsive, attentive, and our boy LOVED every visit!!! We also got the cutest updates and best photos too!!! We will definitely be booking with Mandi again and truly couldn’t be more grateful for all the love and attention Mandi gave our boy during our absence!!!! Thank you so much, Mandi!!!!!!”
“Danielle was very attentive with my rabbit and provided excellent care. I was very pleased that she seemed respectful of my rabbit's territorial behaviors. She was reliable, thorough, and took the best pictures!”
“Issana is easy to communicate with and super reliable. The visits she paid to our kitties while we were on vacation was more than I could have hoped for! I found myself looking forward to he updates and photos. You could tell our cats looked forward to her visits too. So happy to have found Issana!”
“Cassie was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and did all the things we asked. She provided great updates and was communicative and supportive throughout the weekend! Highly recommend her!! Will be asking her to watch our cats again!”
“Heather was amazing! Very communicative, which was especially helpful! Instantly got along with our little Whitney. Very glad Heather was looking after our little fur baby.”
About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life and although I don’t have any of my own, I have many years of experience taking care of pets of all energy levels. I follow directions well and can provide the appropriate amount of attention for pets with special needs and/or requirement as well. Currently I am a part-time college student and caregiver for my younger sibling, although this may seem time restricting this allows me to plan out my schedule and can be flexible whenever and wherever. I am a very neat and tidy person, so house upkeep is one of my number one priorities aside from taking care of your pets. On top of that, I have plenty of of experience dealing with dogs of all ages and can accommodate accordingly.
“Andrhu is awesome. I work long hours and my cat has never been a solo pet before now, I realized she was stressed out while I’m away for work. I found Andrhu and he’s been amazing for her. She isn’t desperately meowing when I come home anymore - and he makes sure she’s fed and sends me picture updates every time he sees her. I can’t tell you how awesome it is to come home to a calm pet instead of a desperate & stressed out pet. So thankful for Andrhu. He’s super responsive and flexible, always communicating with me about when he’s going over. It means a lot in a time when I need extra help and my fur baby does too.”
About: Sam and I have been passionate animal lovers our entire lives and have cared for both dogs and cats since we were young. We're comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. We have two friendly dogs of our own, so it's important that any furry guests staying with us are comfortable around other animals. We understand that every pet has unique needs, and we'll treat your furry family member with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. Between Sam and I, there will always be someone home with your pup to provide lots of love and attention. Our dogs Loki and Genki will be thrilled to have new friends stay over that they can play with. Our home is designed to be a comfortable place where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys throughout the house, and lots of cozy spots for lounging. Whether your pup enjoys a game of fetch, playing with toys, or simply curling up for a nap, we'll make sure they have a fun and comfortable stay. We also share our home with two cats who generally keep to themselves. If your dog is comfortable around cats, they'll be welcome to enjoy full access to our home. If not, that's absolutely no problem—we can easily keep your pup separated from the areas where our cats spend their time to ensure everyone stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”

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.

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.
