“Rochelle always does a great job taking care of our two Maine Coon cats! Lots of exercise and love. They were happy and healthy when we returned from our 2 week trip. She also takes great pictures so we can see them while we are away!”
“I had a different request and needed her help with getting my cat in the carrier. She did an awesome job with getting him in the carrier, she was very patient, nice, and friendly. I really appreciate her and would highly recommend!”
“Christa is the best! She watched our cat for almost 2 weeks and sent several pictures each day with thorough updates on how our fur baby was doing. I was worried about our cat being lonely with us being gone for so long but Christa made sure she was loved and well taken care of.”
“Kelly was great about taking care of my babies. She gave me updates and sent pictures. I was surprised that she actually managed to get a pic of all four cats one day as they are very skittish. She is simply lovely and I would recommend her to anyone and employ her services again in the future.”
“Zoe took excellent care of Meatball even coming out after 9pm for final feeding . We will definitely use her again. She kept us updated each day with photos. Thanks !!”
“Genevieve took such great care with our cats! She's a warm and caring presence, and our two cats took to her right away. She had no problem following our specific care instructions, took great care of our house, and was proactive and conscientious about everything. She's super communicative and kept us updated the whole time we were away. Don't hesitate to book with her!”
“Brigette did an amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She’s very attentive and responsive; sends wonderful pix and videos through the stay. Definitely book her if you’re looking for an awesome and responsible pet sitter!”
“Jana does a great job and we will continue to utilize her for our pet sitting needs! She is a great communicator and her messages always make me laugh. I can’t compliment her professionalism and consistency enough.”
“Irene was great with dropping in on my two cats while I was away on a long work trip. Both my cats are unique, and she understood immediately how to work with their different temperaments. Also, she was able to communicate well with me throughout the 10-days. When I was having issues with the Rover app, she was understanding and helpful and we quickly figured out any issues. I’d recommend Irene and work with her again. Thanks!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with hands-on experience looking after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully and build trust with both pets and owners. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps in supervision. I’m able to easily adjust my work hours to accommodate walks, playtime, and any specific care needs, including medications or special routines. On a weekly basis, my flexibility also allows me to take on longer visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care whenever needed. I prioritize following each pet’s routine and any specific instructions to ensure their well-being and reduce stress. I take time to build trust with pets through patience, gentle handling, and consistent care, helping them feel secure while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean, safe environment by monitoring surroundings, preventing potential hazards, and ensuring pets are always supervised appropriately. My goal is to create a calm, reliable space where pets feel at ease and owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands.
“Sophia was great! She watched over my cat for a week and made sure he had everything he needed and gave plenty of attention. Always timely and reached out if she had any questions.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lemont
We left for Europe for two weeks and we chose Jana to watch after our sweet little kitty. We are so happy to have done so. She is so professional, so caring and grew a connection with our boy. We are so happy with everything Jana did and all her drop in visits. We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.
Rochelle is amazing -- whenever I travel, I hope she's available to watch my cats, because I know with her they are in the best hands. Aside from the basics (food, water, litter pan, etc), she's very attentive with and plays with my very social cats, something that's very important to me (and them!). Thanks for everything, Rochelle!
Genevieve is wonderful! She took excellent care of our senior kitty, Wu, who requires medication at a specific time every day. She offered to come over before we left town to meet Wu and to make sure she knew how to administer her meds. While we were away, she always arrived on time and sent us an update with pics after every visit. It is clear that she loves kitties and cares about doing a great job. We so appreciated the way she cared for Wu and our home and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Once again Samantha was great and I was thankful I was able to book her somewhat last minute! She made sure my cat got all of her medicine, which is not always an easy task, and went above and beyond by bringing in mail/ packages and watering some of my plants (which I did not ask her to do).
Miri was AMAZING with my two kitty girls! She went above and beyond - took great care of them. She was very communicative & took so many photos (in which the girls looked SO relaxed - my senior cat even came out for visits which is very unusual, sitters rarely see her)! My only complaint is that I wish I had booked her sooner during my time at PSU - she is a fantastic sitter who has her own cats & really has such a good vibe! Thank you Miri!!!! 🫶🏻🐾
Irene did a great job watching our two kittens and adult cat while we were on vacation. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and responsive. She made sure our fur babies were taken care of which allowed us to enjoy our time away with no worries. Thank you Irene!
Emerson was amazing! She took such good care of our pets while we were away. She even came for extra visits to make sure they were adjusting to us being away. She went above and beyond! Our dogs and cat loved being around her. I could not recommend her more!

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.

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 .

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.
