“Meghean is such a great sitter for my Trixie girl! Always reliable, on time, and shares great pictures of her where she always has a huge smile on her face! Will definitely plan to re-book again!”
“She was awesome! Booked her last minute after our pet sitter unexpectedly canceled during our vacation. She took great care of our animals and sent cute pictures!”
“Madison was great with our cat, Wrigley, while away. She was reliable, flexible when needed, and provided loving care and peace of mind while away. We will use her again!”
“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”

About: I have been taking care of my family & friends pets check up on my neighbors pets when they go out of vacation. I love animals I believe you’re pet deserves the very best care! I am currently working a full-time job! However, due to the field of job I am in. I have lots of free time to check up on pets!

“Caitlin did a great job taking care of Bethany while I was away, and even got her to play a bit! Thanks for making sure I didn't have to worry while I was gone 😊”
About: I have watched a friend’s mature dog in her home while a family member was hospitalized. I have always had rescue animals in my home it is always been a priority for me to love animals and treat them with the respect that is so well-deserved. I have two rescue kitties that I care for every day. I am semi retired, spend special time with my fur babies and exercise every day. I would like to rescue a dog, but if I could spend time and love other people's pets, it would be a very rewarding experience. Since I have two kitties, I prefer to care for pets in the clients homes. My one kitty is 16 years old and I don’t want to subject her to change an environment. Every morning, I am greeted by my kitties, before eating breakfast I give them their morning treats. After exercising in the afternoon, it is dinner time for them so I feed them, they nap and then we bond later in the evening, while one sits near me and the other one sits on my lap. Having cared for several dogs in the past, I take them for walks, engage in playtime and take time to bond. At one point in my lifetime I had three rescue dogs who all got along famously. They were an extension of my family and sadly, eventually passed from old age. I will love your dogs in the same way and treat them with kindness and respect. Their comfort and security are my main concern, along with your peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.

DANAH32598 I’m currently blessed with making my own schedule for work, giving me even more freedom to help take care of your furry family members. 🐶🐱 Just like people, every dog has a different personality. I would work with the owner and follow instructions for care and also get info on what their furry friends love the most! My job is to ease your mind while traveling and making sure your pet is comfortable while you are away.
“John is amazing! He is very accommodating with his time. Came to meet the pack the week before the schedule date. The dogs loved him. Then the day before scheduled sit I had to reschedule for the following week due to illness. He was able and willing to change dates. I will definitely rebook with him.”
About: Hello Families! My name is Aaliyah, and I am a 20-year-old community college student transitioning from a career in hospital housekeeping to providing in-home care for dogs, cats, and babies. My passion for caring for all creatures runs deep, and I treat each one with the same love and attention as if they were my own. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience caring for a variety of dogs, from playful puppies to gentle pit bulls. Additionally, I have been babysitting my nephew since his birth, dedicating at least 18 hours a day to his care. He is now four months old, and this experience has enriched my understanding of infant care. I also have experience dog sitting for my neighbors while they were out of town, which has been incredibly rewarding. It brings me joy to know that I am helping families by providing peace of mind and comfort, knowing they can trust me with their beloved pets and children. If my skills and availability meet your needs, I would love the opportunity to work with your family. I am available seven days a week, from morning to overnight, and can adjust my schedule upon request. My pay rate ranges from $100 to $150 daily. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and providing exceptional care for your loved ones! Warm regards, Aaliyah I am currently looking for a job in the sitting community. I am available upon request. As well as being flexible to fit what’s best. Your fur babies will love my neighborhood. Every corner you’ll see someone with their own. If you animals don’t like others that’s okay because they’re welcome in my house as if they’re my own!
“Haley came by for 3 drop-in visits to care for our two cats during the holiday weekend. Everything went as planned and she even made sure to find our cat that likes to hide to make sure he was okay. She cleaned the litterbox when needed and tried to play with the cats during the visits! If available, I will likely be booking Haley again for future visits!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies throughout my life. I worked with dogs with all types of personalities at a dog daycare. I played with them, fed them and cleaned their kennels. I volunteered with guide-dog organizations, helping socialize puppies in training, and I’ve looked after pets of all ages and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog when she had cancer, giving her daily medicine and making sure she felt comfortable and loved. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m very flexible and make time each day for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I plan my schedule around my visits so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their normal routines and any instructions you provide. I take care to keep doors secure, clean up after them, and monitor their behavior closely. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own.

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.
