“Kaleigh was great taking care of my 2 kittens while I was away. This was my first time being away since adopting them and she was very good to check after them! I highly recommend!!”
“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as they have always been a family pet for me, as we typically had 4 at time. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors and friends. I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have no pets at home so I am able to stay and pet sit. I have a car so can take dogs on rides and take them to parks and out for walks. I will make sure they are comfortable.
About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“10 out of 10! I was out of state to visit family, and C.P. was so great about sending daily photos/ updates of when he was dropping by. Will definitely be booking him again!”
About: Growing up on a dairy farm, I have always been comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets with special care needs. As a full time pet parent who is self employed and working from home, pet care fits naturally into my life. I am regularly available throughout the day to keep an eye on things, stick to feeding schedules, administer meds if needed, and make sure everyone gets plenty of attention My schedule and personal life is very flexible, I can easily cater care to whatever your pet needs—extra playtime, quiet companionship, strict routines, or just someone who understands that cats and dogs operate on their own mysterious timetables. Your pets get reliable, consistent care woven right into my everyday life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always trust, safety, and respecting the space your pet already feels comfortable in. I follow your routines exactly—feeding, meds, walks, playtime, whatever makes your pet feel secure—so their day stays familiar and stress-free. I keep doors locked, double-check anything safety-related, and treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I move quietly, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet’s environment stays calm, clean, and consistent. My goal is simple: you come home to a safe house and a happy pet.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for my entire life. From volunteering and working in humane societies and other shelter settings, to fostering and owning pets. I am comfortable with basic training and maintenance (cutting nails, brushing, administering meds, etc). I hope you are willing to trust me to care for your pet while you’re away! I currently work a full time job but have a flexible schedule and ability to work remotely. I am available after work and on weekends. I am happy to provide the type of care that you already do or are requesting for your pet. I am flexible and willing to accommodate the way that you are requesting care be given to your pet.
“Love having Reagan come for my cat. He seems to really enjoy her visits and I get the best pic updates 🥰. Also so easy to communicate with, thanks for staying with my Charlie again!”
About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lorain
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my babies! She was so attentive, listened to every little instruction I gave her, and handled my very high-energy pitbull like a pro. She was also so sweet and caring with my cat. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my pets, I truly appreciated how comfortable she made me feel while I was away. I came home knowing they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her with my pets again! 🐾❤️

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
