“Kayla took care of our cat CeCe while we were away. She followed all instructions and was able to send us a picture of our shy cat. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Thank you to Ann for taking good care of our kitties and making sure our finicky kitten eats enough for dinner! And an extra thank you for helping us out over the holidays”


“Eko and Sarah were great! Our cat is very high energy so we needed someone to wear him out, and they did! He had a great time. They gave us plenty of updates so we always knew what was happening, and they took some great photos 😊 We really appreciated their communication and attentiveness.”

“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”


About: Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve raised five dogs from puppyhood and have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and small mammals, making me a reliable choice for families with diverse pets who need patient, knowledgeable support. I offer fully open availability, providing flexible, reliable care whenever your pets need support. My schedule is built around consistency and convenience for pet parents, and every visit reflects my commitment to animal welfare. As I grow my business, I’m also working toward my long‑term dream of opening a multi‑species rescue to help even more animals thrive. I care for pets in the way that keeps them happiest and most comfortable. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, medication, and any house rules your pet already knows—so their day feels familiar and stress‑free. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with structured potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, drop‑ins, boarding, or overnights, I make sure every pet gets individualized care, consistent communication, and a calm, loving experience.
“Shea and Damien are amazing. Very conscientious, communicative, and responsible. I never have any concerns or worries when I know they are caring for our three dogs. Our dogs, in turn, are very comfortable and excited when they see them so I know that they are happy and well cared for when we are away.”

About: Ive taken care of animals my entire life. I am patient which is needed when it comes to animals. I have a passion for fur babies. I will treat your pets as my own. I work fulltime Monday to Friday (remote) but I am free after 5. I am available any time on weekends. I may have flexibility during the weekdays. I make sure there is nothing hazardous around that the animals could get into. Make sure i am keeping them inside if i open the door. Cleaning up after them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered
“Gabriela was fantastic at cat sitting! She was very invested in learning about Rhea and her personality. Gabriela did a great job completing the tasks we’d left for her and she sent detailed summaries every visit. Gabriela even was able to engage Rhea into playing more than usual by crafting a toy. Would highly recommend Gabriela for any sort of pet sitting :)”

“Absolutely amazing. My dogs usually take a few visits for them to feel comfortable but within 10 minutes Luna was kissing her and within 30 minutes General was off leash and not paying any attention. He took treats from her no problem.”

About: Being a dog owner for 15 years, I know how hard it is to find good care for your pet when you are away. I am happy to fill that void. I'm available to watch your dogs or cats in your home for one day/night or an extended period of time. I am dependable and clean. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. Walking, playing, feeding, giving oral medications. I can also transport your dog(s) to a dog park if there is one near your home.
About: I had a 13 year old Labrador Retriever and take care of our 16 year old mutt and 16 year old Angora cat. I've had my pet sitting business almost 3 years and want all my clients's pets to feel like their owners never left the house. My wife works but I'm available to take care of your pets and make sure I'm able to pick up my kids on time at 3 pm. I do in client home pet sitting. I can obtain your house key, your garage code or any secure means you're comfortable with to take care of your pets safely and timely.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional experience working in veterinary care, as well as previous experience walking dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic adults to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I especially enjoy dog walking because I love getting outside, giving pets some enrichment and exercise, and seeing how happy they are afterward. Of course I’m here for the puppy kisses and cuddles too! My veterinary experience has given me experience with a variety of pets and their individual needs, including administering oral medications and topical medications. I also have personal experience caring for a deaf dog, so I understand the importance of adapting communication and care to each pet. I’m comfortable walking dogs up to 100 lbs and have some basic training knowledge that I can incorporate into everyday interactions. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. My goal is to provide dependable daytime walks and drop-in visits while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I’ll treat your pets like individuals, respect their routines, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have spent the past 2.5 years dog walking under companies in Boston. I now work at a vet clinic as a receptionist. I miss spending my time outdoors and the hands on experience I gain with dog walking! I have experience with dogs with special needs (deafness blindness and some medical issues). I also have basic experience with training and dogs with behavioral difficulties. I have learned a lot about body language throughout the years and love to get a dog’s brain working on a walk to make it more enriching. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I’m an animal lover with professional veterinary experience and previous experience working as a dog walker. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m especially interested in daytime dog walks and drop-in visits on my available days. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My goal is always to make sure your pet gets the exercise, enrichment, attention, and affection they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because of my veterinary background, I’m familiar with paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing, and I take each pet’s individual needs seriously. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape risks, and I’ll make sure your home is left secure and tidy after each visit. I’m also comfortable administering oral and topical medications when needed. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, triggers, and anything else that will help me provide safe and comfortable care.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always loved caring for animals. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. I currently don’t have a pet of my own, but many of my family members do. Whenever they go on vacation or take a trip where they can’t bring their pets, I’m usually the first person they trust to take care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, keeping pets company, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that pets are part of the family, so I treat every pet in my care with the same attention and care I would want someone to give my own. I'm currently working part-time si I have plenty of time to play with your pups in the afternoon during week days must specifically after 3:30 pm and all day during weekends. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I always follow the instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines their pet is used to. I’m respectful of every client’s home and make sure to keep things clean and organized. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. My goal is to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as much as possible.

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.
