About: I like to think I adapt to the cats needs rather than be impatient and try to pet or carry a pet that’s clearly not comfortable with a stranger yet I have my morning free up until 2pm so getting a head start from 6 or 7am is no big deal to me. We can work together if this schedule suits you, My home carries many cat toys and scratch posts. My cats have their water and food in an easily accessible area. No toxic chemicals or plants are in my home
“Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.”
“Elias was a great house sitter and pet sitter for our two cats. He was so observant of their behavior that when our one cat who has a tendency to eat things he shouldn't started showing signs of GI upset, Elias reached out to our emergency contacts right away. Once our cat was back from the ER, Elias spent tons of time with him. Elias sent daily pictures and communicated well with us and with our two adult daughters who were his emergency contacts.”
About: I have lived with pets my entire life! I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as cats, too. I am a substitute teacher and currently working on my bachelors degree at an online school, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I care for pets in a client’s home by following their usual routines to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and have a clean environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, respect their home, and provide updates and pictures.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs, ducks, geese, and even fish, I've had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I'm also the designated house and pet sitter in my family, so looking after furry friends has always come naturally to me. One thing I've always taken pride in is being someone animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved around. I've genuinely never met an animal I couldn't make friends with! I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love, and I promise to treat yours with the same care and affection I'd give my own! 🐱🐶💛 I am a dedicated part time Esthetician who works 4 full days a week but my Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are open and available all day for any of your pet care needs. I am open and available for early mornings or even late nights. My goal relieve any stress you feel so you may work in peace, knowing your pets have been cared for with the same love and affection as you. I live in a cozy, pet-free one-bedroom apartment with access to a fenced-in dog park, a beautiful creekside walking path, and peaceful neighborhoods perfect for long walks! With no pets of my own, your fur baby can enjoy my undivided attention in a calm, comfortable environment. I'd love nothing more than to have them cuddle up with me on the couch! Whether in my home or yours, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for just like family.
About: As someone who’s loved my cats and dogs as part of my family, I will go above and beyond to take great care of your pet! My years of volunteering at an animal shelter have given me experience with cats and dogs of all ages with various temperaments and medical needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or checking in on your cat at home, I’ll treat your pets with the love and care I’ve given to my own over the years. No matter what service you’re looking for, I’d love to send photo and text updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m choosing to offer pet sitting as a source of income, but it’s also something I genuinely love doing. I travel fairly often, so having a dog of my own isn’t the right fit for me right now. Spending time with other people’s dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I’ll give yours the affection, attention, and care they deserve.❤️ My schedule is flexible, so I can make time for walks, playtime, and keeping your pet company. I do travel occasionally, but I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the attention they need. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, and care. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and send updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I have watched both dogs and cats for as long as two weeks at a time. I pay attention to any and all details clients provide. I will send as many pictures/updates as requested! I’m here to ease your mind while you’re enjoying time away from home. I am completely open on weekends! During the week is more limited but please submit a request and I’d love to discuss your pets needs. In my clients home I follow instruction closely. I understand each animal has specific needs. I will make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

And now have a beagle mix 8 years old, a mastiff 6 years old, bully mix 1 year old, pit bull 5 months old. I’m currently looking for a little money on the side so I’m so excited to be able to walk and play with your furry friends/family. Live in a neighborhood with a lot of friendly dogs. And I also have a dog run that’s fenced in and 4 dogs of my own who love to play and make friends.
About: I have personally owned all kinds of pets. Ferrets, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and birds. I have a deep love for all fur babies. I prioritize their well being and enrichment I currently work full time with a flexible retail schedule. I am open to working early mornings and late nights. My current job shifts very from 10-6 or 1:30-9. So any hours outside of that i am available I am open to making sure animals are played with and cuddled as much as it may need. And taking out for bathroom breaks, and cleaned up after.
About: I used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.
About: I have always been a cat lover ever since I was little. I have 7+ years of experience personally taking care of cats of all breeds, personalities, and ages. I previously volunteered at the Bolingbrook Animal Shelter, where I provided personalized care and followed the individual routines of cats and kittens. I respect every cat’s boundaries, personality, and comfort level while giving them plenty of love and attention. I can follow your pet’s specific routine, feeding schedule, medications, and care instructions. I also have a pet-friendly space where your furry baby can relax, feel safe, and get comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally in my routine, and I enjoy making time for animals. I am available of Fridays, Saturday and Sunday for pet sitting and my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, playtime, feeding and attention based of each cats needs. I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they receive plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. Since I provide care in my home, I focus on creating a safe clean, and comfortable environment where you cat can feel at home. I thoroughly sanitize food, water bowls, and litter boxes between stays and follow feeding, treat, medication, and care instructions that you provide. I don't have pets of my own so your cat won't have to adjust to other animals or compete for attention. Your cat will be welcome to explore the house and if they prefer privacy, I can provide a separate, comfortable space for them to relax. Safety is my top priority. Doors and windows will remain securely closed and all windows have screens. I'll also need an emergency veterinarians contact information on hand in case it is ever needed. I'll provide toys and plenty of attention while respecting your cats' personality and boundaries. I will also share pictures and moments of their stay with you while you are away. I'm happy to maintain their usual routine and provide the food and treats you provide so that they can stick to what they're already comfortable with. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
