“Scott was thorough and communicative! He took such good care of my cats that even the shy one started greeting him at the door. I would definitely have him take care of my pets again.”
“Anton did a great job taking care of our cat, Cici! He even went above and beyond getting in contact with us and coming back after we had an issue with the key we gave him. Cici was happy and well cared for when we returned.”
“I've booked with Karen before and chose to book with Karen again because she is extremely responsive, flexible, and provides great updates while watching the pets. Karen provided timely and extensive reports and went above and beyond my request for watching my pet. She changed my pet's litter, replaced her water, spent ample time with my cat, and communicated immediately when a problem presented itself. I would recommend Karen and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Julianna is fantastic. Our shy cat who normally runs away from everyone visited with Julianna all three days that we were away. She fed her was able to brush her and keep her routine while we were visiting friends. The pictures and texts that she provided during her visits kept up informed and plugged into what our cat was doing. She made our time away from our furry friend be better. Thank you Julianna!”
“Gabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had my own pets in the past and I love all sorts of pets! It brings me serotonin to be with my furry friends! I’ve pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family members! I will be working full time later this year and wanted to try out this fun side hustle to make extra cash and bring my serotonin levels up! My house has a big yard area! There’s a couple of parks nearby that are also perfect and I have a variety of pet snacks and toys!
“Faith was amazing!! It’s always very anxiety inducing for me to leave my cats, especially since my one is very shy and easily startled. But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)”
About: Experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Skilled in puppy training, basic obedience, trick training, and senior dog care, including medication support and mobility assistance. Comfortable with grooming tasks such as brushing, bathing, and coat maintenance. I focus on creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for every dog in my care. I am available for dog walking weekdays from 6 am to 2:30 pm. My weekend availability is all day for both Saturday and Sunday. As for pet sitting I am available as needed. I organize my day around the pets needs including feeding schedule, exercise & play schedule, and unique needs. Leashes are always used unless a closed area is available and allowed by the owner.
About: I haven’t taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I enjoy taking them on walks feeding them bathing them and making sure they’re comfortable. I provide pet care daily, weekly and overnight stays. I am also available all day weekends. I am flexible and will try to work with parents schedule as needed. I provided early morning services and evenings. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, keep pets indoors and supervised, and make sure they have fresh food, water, and a calm space.
About: I have over two years of experience caring for dogs, from young puppies to senior dogs that need extra attention and gentle care. I truly believe pets are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and respect. I’m a very active person, so I enjoy long walks with energetic dogs and giving them plenty of playtime and attention. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that require medication, including administering pills or liquid medication with a syringe, always making sure they feel calm and safe. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for—just like a member of the family. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet before the booking to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m currently in college on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM to 5 PM, and on Wednesday afternoons from 1 PM to 5 PM. Outside of those hours, including Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, I have full flexibility, so I can easily fit in dog walks, drop-in visits, day care, or overnight stays. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, love, and care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the owner’s home, I spend most of my time with them so they don’t feel lonely and can relax comfortably. In my home, I provide a cozy space for them to sleep and feel at ease, and I use cameras to check on them whenever I need to go out for errands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and calm environment where each pet feels cared for and part of the family.
“5 stars!!! I am beyond grateful for the care Melissa gave my two cats, Rey and London. From the very first intro visit, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and loving she is with animals. My cats are my babies, and leaving them is never easy, but she made the entire experience feel safe, calm, and reassuring. One of my cats needs daily inhaler medication, which can be stressful for both cat and sitter, and she handled it with so much patience, gentleness, and confidence. Rey also needs to get a special diet and a miralax for constipation mixed in, all of which were administered exactly as prescribed by Melissa. Knowing Rey was in such caring hands truly meant everything to me. London is a very shy cat and doesn’t trust most humans easily, so I was especially touched by how quickly he warmed up to her. It took only a couple of visits for him to feel fully comfortable around her, which says so much about her calm, respectful, and intuitive approach with animals. Melissa was incredibly reliable and thoughtful, and her updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. I could tell she wasn’t just “checking in”... She was truly caring for them! I came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved cats, and that speaks volumes. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and care you would, look no further. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again, and I feel so lucky to have found someone I trust this much with Rey and London.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and consistent care. I currently have a German Shepherd and two cats of my own, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and the unique needs each pet has. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring they are always supervised and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have been a trusted sitter to friends and family for many years! I’m patient with shy pets and playful with more outgoing personalities! I work a full time 9-5 schedule but can do drop-ins and walks before and after work! Also available in specific weekends with prior notice! I currently have my own pets so I can only visit animals in their homes but I like to tailor my approach to match the pet’s personality and the owners specific needs!
About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.
“Fiorela did a wonderful job with my two cats! They were well cared for and loved during the entire stay. I got lots of updates and photos so I missed them a bit less.”
About: I am grateful for my opportunity on Rover! I have taken on many pets for several friends & family. Pets like turtles, dogs, even volunteered with goats! Now I want to pet sit full-time for my career. I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and learning their quirks, routines, and what makes them kind. I am a teacher for many subjects to students and they have an everlasting impact on my life! In the same way I will care for your pet like the family that they are to you. I am full of energy, and am looking for this to fill up more of my time! I can work any time of the day, even very early! I will usually be available at any time and love the chance to get outside. Career wise, I will always hop on the opportunity to work with new animals and be the best for them. I’m never in a hurry to get to know pets. I know being patient is the largest part of this job. At work I always put the customer first, no matter what it is, I will do what I can to make you happy! More pets, the better! I can help small or large families.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Layhill
Liza was a lifesaver and accepted our request for a drop in visit with only a few days notice. She took great care of our cat. We appreciated the pictures she sent and it was obvious our cat, who is normally very scared around strangers, was very happy, relaxed and comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend!
Becca is great! She’s taking care of my foster kitties twice now and is so good with them. I always get detailed reports so I don’t have to worry about them! She also went above and beyond, even coordinating with the rescue so that they could be in the loop with their care.
Gabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!
This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit anxious how it would go and giving a stranger access to our home. Especially because one of our 2 cats has kidney disease kitty and needs fluid injections every 2 days. But Sarah was absolutely lovely and awesome. You can see that she loved our two kitties, and it looks like everything went really well with our kidney patient. I got pictures and videos every day and they both warmed up easily to Sarah. Sarah gave me a real piece of mind while traveling and I will definitely book her next time I need a sitter ( if she is available). Thank you!!!
Leslie has taken wonderful care of our cats on several occasions over the past four and a half years. She always responds promptly, cares for them like family and sends cute photos. It eases my mind so much when we’re away knowing that she’ll be dropping in to check on them. She is a kind, trustworthy, conscientious and overall amazing pet sitter and person!
Ellen is reliable, conciencious and loves cats. She follows instructions carefully, provides feedback and is respectful of house rules. My cat, Isak, has complicated feeding requirements that she has carried out with accuracy and ease. Isak likes her too. Not always easy with this very particular cat.
Robyn did dropins for our cat while we were away for the holidays. Before the booking started our cat had to go on a new medication and Robyn was great at trying different things to get her to take her medicine. Robyn was very communicative and we came home to a happy cat.
I think I have already left a review, but leaving another!! I would give 6 stars if possible. Allie is great with my 3 cats and their 3 differing personalities, she is also very considerate and always happy to help if plans change or extra help is needed. Not to mention I'm pretty sure she could take on a full time career as pet photographer her pics are that good (but I dont suggest that because then I would lose her as a sitter and would be devastated haha).

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 .

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 , 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.
