About: I am a life long pet owner and animal lover of all kinds, I am trusted w friends and family’s pet and comfortable with different routines and pet personalities. I am available and flexible during the week, since I am transitioning between jobs and I can also be flexible on Saturdays. I am pretty open to what your needs require Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in my presence is very important to me. I like to take time for your pet to get used to me and will never force them to do anything they are clearly uncomfortable with. Before leaving a home, I always make sure they have water, they’re given a treat (I will fill a food bowl if necessary as well) and plenty of love and attention before I go.
“Holly is a ray of sunshine and my cat who is very skittish came right up to her and befriended her. She was very accomodating to come the day before on short notice to show her the ropes and how to get into a difficult to find apartment. Meeting her and speaking with her, truly made my day and turned around a very challenging week. Definitely will be booking her again.”
“Glory was a life-saver! I had last-minute long workdays, so I needed to find someone to come and hang with my dog who has a touch of separation anxiety. From Glory’s communication and pictures, I could tell that Huck warmed right up to her! And usually it takes him a little time to embrace new people. He was so excited to see her when she came over for their midday walk. Glory is reliable, communicative, and, of course, very good with animals! She will definitely be my go-to if I ever need help with Huck again.”
“Marissa is amazing! She went above and beyond for drop in visits, and she is soooo sweet and nice with our shy cats, kept us posted for all situations, it made our trip so much better since we were not worried about the cats! Thank you Marissa!!”
“Hilary, Did such a nice job caring for my three cats while I was away. Not only did she keep me updated on how things were going but she shared a photo of each feeding/care session. One of my elusive cats even came out for a photo op on the last day, which shows that they were starting to feel comfortable with her! - Tom”
“Would recommend Kristen to any of my friends or family! She was able to drop-in on short notice and was communicative, punctual and kind throughout. Pups were well cared for and at ease when I got home. I’d definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for most of my life. We had a family dog who lived to be 18 years old and I also was the neighborhood go to for pet sitting while growing up. My schedule is very open right now. I’m open to hanging with pets pretty much any time and any day! I will work your needs into my schedule. I live in a second story condo with a balcony. I have plenty of grassy outdoor space to take pets outside. I can let the pets hang out on the balcony with or without supervision.
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
“Kathleen was able to quickly respond to an absent sitter situation and help out my mind at ease and enjoy my daughter’s graduation hundreds of miles away! Thank you!”
“Sara communicated super well and sent me a lot of photos when she stopped in to check on my pups. It was a huge stress relief knowing they were being taken care of. Thank you!”
“Kirstin was a great sitter for my two (slightly neurotic) cats! She was consistent with her timing and followed the care instructions well. She let me know if she saw any unusual behavior from my cats or things around the house that may need my attention when I got home. She also made sure to spend time and play with them. I was away for almost 2.5 weeks so it made me much more relaxed knowing a knowledgeable and caring sitter was looking after my boys! Thanks Kirstin!”
“Courtney took great care of my 2 kitties and their special needs of staying separated when unsupervised. She is a responsible, trustworthy, reliable, and a genuinely kind pet sitter. We will definitely rebook! Thank you for loving on my kitties like they're your own!”
About: Hi there. I have spent pretty much my whole life taking care of dogs, cats, and other critters. Whether your pet needs walks, medicine, playtime, or cuddles, or someone with patient and calm, I am happy to provide whatever they need. I have experience with playful, cuddly, and grumpy animals, so I am comfortable adapting to match your friend’s energy. I understand how hard it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, but I will take care of your fur baby as if they were my own. I am a 2nd grade teacher on summer break, so I am available on most days. I am flexible and can work with most schedules, days, and locations. I am able to do home visits and stay overnight as needed. I am unfortunately unable to take animals into my home due to my lease.
“Joanna was great at taking care of both my cats while I was out of town for a week. Having a senior cat, and very clingy one, I was nervous being gone for a week. I did not have to worry with Joanna!! She was there daily to take care of them. My clingy one got a bit of an attitude, and Joanna was excellent about just giving her her space, but making sure she was okay. Thank you Joanna!!!”
About: I love dogs of all sizes. I adopted my labrador retriever mix 8 years ago and she is old and stays to herself the majority of the time. I will take them to parks to let them play. Im available everyday after 5pm. I can do drop in visits right before I go into before 6:30am. I am available during weekends. I am very flexible on Weekends. I can also house sit, on weekdays and weekends. My special skills consists of playing fetch, being acting and enthusiastic, and most importantly getting to know your dog and making his time with me comfortable. I cant wait to make new friends and make lots of memories. I’m currently working full time - a hybrid job so I have the flexibility of being home when is needed. I start work at 8am-4:30pm. I do live in a condo which is pretty spacious. There is a grassy area right outside of my condo which is very nice for potty breaks.
About: Ive taken care of great pyrenees ever since I was 10, my first was a boy, who was mixed and now I own two females all white. I adopted an 11 year old hospice cat and gave her a safe and final resting loving home. It was a honor and every cat I've adopted from shelters since, old or young has been a treasure. I love taking care of animals because I understand them and they love me. I am indigenous to the Caribbean so maybe it's the native epistemology. I am a full time online student. My classes do not meet and I go on the schedule I select for myself to finish my tasks. I have been so eager to get into pet care because it's perfect for my schedule. Im free all day, night, week, and weekend. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks, and feel safe and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including any medications, special diets, or routines. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a clean, stress-free environment and keeping owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Sthefany and Jeshael watched my dog the last couple of days. Prior to the drop in visits we did a meet and greet. Both girls are so sweet!! My dog is very shy and they were so patient with her. She eventually warmed up! They seem very knowledgeable about dog sitting. I have already booked them for future visits.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
We’ve had many Rovers do drop-in visits for our 2 cats and Makenna was by far the best! The litter box was thoroughly cleaned better than any other Rover in the past and our very shy cat warmed up to her to the point of purring!! When we returned our cats were calm and happy. We will definitely book her again!!
Anna is communicative, reliable, responsive, kind, easy to schedule and talk with and took great care of my cats when I was out of town for a week! She listened to my requests and gave me updates each day. I would trust Anna again to come into my home and take care of my kitties. Thank you!!
I have an aging kitty and leaving her for one night is quite difficult. Lara met me and affirmed her ability to take care of Sascha and communicate her condition. I was reassured by Lara's pictures and timely reports. She was most attentive to Sascha's needs. A huge relief for me. Lara understood my concerns and addressed them perfectly. Great to work with. Highly recommend. Happy to say Sascha has a new friend.
Ari and Sarah were excellent with Queso and Nugget! They sent us a whole lot of pictures and videos while we are away and went the extra mile to take care of our two cats! They brought a new toy and that really excited both the little ones! They were also very kind and communicative!

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.
