“Chance was absolutely incredible! He left such detailed feedback for each drop-in visit, and he took the best possible care of Avett while I was out-of-town. I would definitely recommend booking with him, and I’ll 100% be using him again!”
“Denise was great with my 2 cats! Very responsive, friendly, and provided photos and comments for every drop in visit while I was on vacation. I felt at ease knowing my girls were taken care of! Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Anna took very good care of our boy George! Judging from the photos she sent he was very happy with her and had some good snuggle time. She fed him and cleaned his litter box, and we will certainly call her next time we're away!”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes since I was young! I'm currently a mom to a very active senior pitbull and two cats. I have experience with giving medications including injections and I know the importance of preserving a stable routine for pups when their parents are away. I'm frequently the go-to dog watcher in my group of friends! I'm working part-time remotely and part-time in person in the evenings. I'm an early riser so that means I'm available for care throughout the day until about 4 and then available for evening care from 8pm on! I know daily routines are important so I will strive to keep your pet's routine the same to the best of my ability! I can check in for potty breaks, walks, playtime, whatever your pet needs!
About: I’ve been caring for pets reliably and consistently since I was 15, and over the years I’ve built strong experience with cats and dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats—I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require, whether it’s administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, or simply giving them calm companionship. I’m committed to treating every pet like my own, with a balance of love, structure, and reliability that gives owners peace of mind. As a self-employed person, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. I’m able to plan around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins, and I have the time to give pets consistent attention without feeling rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make safety and trust my top priorities. I carefully follow the pet’s established routine, from feeding schedules to walk routes, and make sure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. During walks, I’m attentive to my surroundings and keep pets safe from hazards or unfamiliar animals. I also keep the home environment tidy and respectful, treating it with the same care I would my own. My goal is to give pets a comfortable, stress-free experience and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets and home are in responsible hands.
“Heather is the best! She watched my cat for a few days while I was out on a camping trip and left very thorough notes and pictures while I was away each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone to care for your pets. She does a very thorough job and your pets will be well-cared for ?”
“Emily F did a superb job of catsitting my cat for a week. I've had other sitters in the past, but Emily was by far the best. She texted me everyday with an update of how Kitty was doing. That sounds like a minor thing, but it is appreciated immensely. Good job Emily F, and thankyou!”
“Christine took good care of my dog. She showed concern that he was shaking when she got there and texted me right away. She spent time with him until he seemed to stop shaking and left me know that he was alright. I will definitely rebook her when I need someone.”
“Mikenah took on the challenge of five dogs without hesitation. She came to meet the dogs prior to the visit, and I could tell they loved her immediately. During her visit, Mikenah kept me informed of everything that happened with my clan and shared amazing pictures too! It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dogs and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I would easily book with Mikenah again!”
“So glad to have found Ludi! She did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation, leaving me able to relax and not worry about them. I appreciated her thoroughness, communication, and especially her kindness in coaxing my shy kitty to interact with her. Will definitely be hiring her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of animals, including dogs, cats, & fish for family members, family friends, and I have always been given good reports! I love animals so much! I’m working part-time, so I’m mostly available whenever! I’m almost always available to love on and care for your pets, just communicate with me on when and how your pets need care and we’ll make it work ◡̈ Safety and Trust: I always prioritize a Meet & Greet before booking. It lets me learn your dog’s specific quirks, house rules, and exact feeding or medication routines directly from you. When we go out for walks, my phone stays in my pocket and my eyes stay on your pup. I don't let strange dogs approach us, and I always double-check that collars and harnesses are securely fastened before opening the front door. Because I am house sitting, your pet gets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment, which naturally keeps their anxiety low while you are away. My Approach in Your Home: Since I don't have pets of my own, your pet gets 100% of my undivided attention and affection. I treat your home with total respect by keeping it clean, quiet, and secure exactly how you left it. When I'm in your space, my main goal is to maintain your dog's normal day to day routine so they barely even notice you're gone.
“Ivy is wonderful about following directions, asking questions or needing clarification. She keeps me well informed with photos and updates every day I’m away. I’m grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time now. I volunteer at the humane Society by my college and take dogs on walks/day trips. I only work my job 9am-2pm on Saturdays, which makes me very open any other times and days. And would be happy to take care of your dog whenever needed I can easily crate your dog if needed and feed and water. I will spend time with your dog on drop-ins to make sure they are happy. Love taking dogs on walks and will make sure they get their energy out.
“I’ve used Carrah multiple times, and she’s always taken such great care of our babies! She sends so many pictures and truly goes above and beyond to give them love and good care during her visits! She’s our go-to sitter!”
“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter with a soft spot for all creatures—furry, scaly, or spidery. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, geckos, bearded dragons, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens, and tarantulas, and I know how to handle both the basics and the more unique needs. Tattoos and piercings aside, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love animals. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away—whether that means a walk, tank check, or just some love and attention. I’m a local college student home for summer break so I am flexible and free to meet your needs, from long-term to daily check-ins to hours of play! I am very specific with my interaction with your pets— any instructions, no matter how weird or detailed, I will follow to ensure great care for your pet.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
