“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my difficult cats. I have one shy cat and one territorial cat and they did not phase her at all! I really appreciated knowing they had someone experienced looking out for them while I was out of town.”
“Kyra has been amazing! I had her booked for a trip back home but a family emergency forced me to leave a week early. She came over within 30 minutes to pick up the key, meet my cats, and learn about their routine. If all of that wasn’t already enough, she had been fantastic communicating with me, sending pictures, and sharing updates. Finally, the icing on the cake, my shy kitty (Beans) has never come out for any sitter. Kyra was patient and kind and Beans grew to trust her. By the end of the stay he was coming out to greet her. Truly a loving pet sitter that not only cares for the cats but also puts the owner at ease. Thank you! 😊”
“Kyra was amazing. I was nervous leaving my dog after a previously bad experience ( not with Rover) and she was calm, efficient and steadying. She was also incredibly generous.”
“Iryna did a great job! I was out of town and she checked-in on my cat. She sent pictures and overall just made sure he was okay and not too lonely. I recommend her and would book again!”
“Steve is great! It was the first time we hired his service and he put us at easy and took really great care of our cat. He communicated with us entering and leaving the house and sent us pictures.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.
“Lauren helped take care of our pups last minute. She watched them carefully in the backyard, as one of our dogs is a digger. She was also very responsive in her communication. We’d definitely book her again”
“Lauren was great at taking pictures and updating us on little details of how our dog was. She spent time with her and did an amazing job. I will use her in the future!!”
“Arianna did great with our three dogs! One of our dogs is very nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Arianna right away. The dogs were happy as can be when we returned. Will definitely be booking with Arianna again!”
“I have been so grateful to have Amelia check in on my cats, three separate times now. She is so reliable, prompt to reply and I will continue to utilize her services as long as I can! She is a lifesaver, every single time!”
About: I have taken care of friends neighbors dogs and cats. I have had to feed and take of my own dog for about 5 years now. I also have 2 cats that I take care of also. One of my cats is almost 8 so she is starting to show signs of old age. I truly know what it takes to take care of pets and how much exercise and quality time they need to be healthy and happy! I have 2 cats and a Boxer- Lab mix dog and I feed and take care of them. I take my dog on a walk any chance I get. I have a fenced yard and a dog who would love to play and I can crate your dog in need be but I’m sure they will
“Elyea was fantastic! I have two cats (10 and 8 y/o) that warmed up to her immediately (and that rarely happens). They came out of their hiding spots during the meet & greet, and my shy older cat was rolling over and showing her belly on the first drop-in visit (which almost NEVER happens). She played with them, loved on them, and treated them like her own pets. She was so proactive in communication, and I so appreciated how many photos she took. She is a tried and true cat whisperer, and after the first day, all of the nerve I had about leaving the cats melted away. I cannot recommend her enough! Will be forwarding her profile to any/all friends, coworkers, on social media, and to anyone who mentions their pets in passing.”
“Being new to the area, finding a reliable cat sitter was one of my biggest stresses before traveling, so I’m especially grateful to have found Eva to watch Mugi. She was easy to work with, and her communication was always prompt and clear. Eva fully respected my home, followed all the instructions carefully, and sent thorough notes and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also went the extra mile by brushing Mugi and spending time to keep him company, and it looked to me Mugi enjoyed her visits as well. I’d definitely recommend Eva to other pet parents who are looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Our dog Allie just loves Ava. She and our high anxiety dog hit it off right away. Ava is always on time. We already have Ava booked for our vacation in a few weeks. We feel very comfortable leaving our baby in her care.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for years! I have lots of experience with different breeds and many different types of caregiving. Some of my experience includes watching two very active pit bull mix siblings. I would check in on the dogs 4+ times per day, take each one on a 2+ mile walk every day, and spend at least 1-2 hours of sit down time so they weren’t lonely. I watched those lovely dogs for 2-3 weeks at a time for numerous years! My most recent experience was taking care of Two english pointers, a rottweiler, and smaller mutt dog for 3 nights! Each dog had a separate feeding space and interactive form of eating. I made sure to follow their owners specific instructions and give the dogs lots of walks, outside time, and sit down time for 5+ hours a day! As well as the dogs I took care of two goats at that home as well! I am very capable of walking and pet sitting many different dogs. I have experience with smaller dogs like Mini poodles, to high energy large dogs like weimaraners. I will do my best to give your animals the love and care they deserve. I will make sure that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly happy! I pet sit in STL over the summer and Lawrence KS from August-May Between May-August I work part time at the Sunset Country club. Even with my work I should and will be able to schedule and give your pets the best of care that includes at least 3 or more check ins per day and walks twice or more a day, depending on their needs and your request. I do not work Mondays, which makes me more free! From August-May I am a full time student with a lot of free time to walk pets, stop in, watch them, and more! I care for pets to the best of my ability and give them the most love and care I am capable of! Between my two households, I have 2 dogs and recently one that passed. I take care of my pets and others pets to the best of my ability and want to ensure that your pets are cared for and you trust and are confident that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly, happy! I will always adjust to you and your pets needs, so please communicate openly and fully so I can do my best to give your pets the best!
“Absolutely 100% recommend Lakyn & Alex! It's difficult to leave your pet behind, but with these two you will have nothing to worry about. I could tell my cat was much more relaxed than usual and even opened up to them (which is rare). I feel very lucky to have had them taken care of Syl, and I know she feels the same way. Thank you so much, Lakyn and Alex!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, from small but mighty Shibu Inu's, to big but nothing but calm Pitbulls. For what feels like most of my life. I know many different kinds of enrichment activities to keep the pups purr-feclty stimulated. As a person who is currently working part-time, I prioritize regular check-in with my furry friends, the pet's well-being remains the most important part of the job. I have a fenced yard and a pool, but they will have a round of clock check- ins and care, with enough time to let them still be dog's. When it is in the client's home, there will be always, attentive care in the familiar surroundings of their own home, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Mary was a fantastic sitter for our two cats while we were away on a lengthy vacation. From our first meeting, she was proactive, communicative, inquisitive, and flexible. And during our trip, we observed that Mary is responsible, thorough, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very pleasant! She touched base (outside of Rover reports) when needed and shared photos every day, which we all enjoyed. We felt at-ease knowing that our pets and house were in good hands, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire or recommend Mary in the future!
Kyra has been amazing! I had her booked for a trip back home but a family emergency forced me to leave a week early. She came over within 30 minutes to pick up the key, meet my cats, and learn about their routine. If all of that wasn’t already enough, she had been fantastic communicating with me, sending pictures, and sharing updates. Finally, the icing on the cake, my shy kitty (Beans) has never come out for any sitter. Kyra was patient and kind and Beans grew to trust her. By the end of the stay he was coming out to greet her. Truly a loving pet sitter that not only cares for the cats but also puts the owner at ease. Thank you! 😊
Hailie is such an incredible sitter! She’s amazing with my cat, Max, and she’s great at giving constant updates and going out of her way to make sure Max is well taken care of. She’s also been available every time I’ve booked with her. So I highly recommend booking her; she’s the best!

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.

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.
