“Emily is amazing!! This was my first drop-in booking for my two senior kitties, with daily drop-ins for a week. Unfortunately, one of my kitties developed worrisome symptoms over the course of my weeklong vacation, and Emily went above and beyond communicating symptoms and changes, sending pic updates from day to day; she checked in on my Kiki on top of the originally agreed upon drop-ins when Kiki’s symptoms weren’t resolving. Emily was great about discussing care options with me and she eventually took my sick kitty into the vet a few days before I got back. Kiki is happy and doing well at this point, and I absolutely trust Emily to provide an excellent level of care if I go on vacation again. I couldn’t have asked for better, more thoughtful pet sitter during my week away! Emily absolutely treated my senior kitties as her own. <3 <3”
“Felicity is an animal whisperer! She won over our shyest kitty who never accepts pets from strangers. All the photos she shared while we were gone made me smile and put my mind at ease.”
About: I grew up with a mini schnauzer and now have an orange tabby cat of my own. I’ve pet sat for several lovable pets throughout the years and am always excited to have the opportunity to meet and take care of dogs and cats! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have lots of time to care for pets and help with other household tasks that might be needed. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I follow all necessary instructions on meeting all of their needs. I focus on safety and comfort, as I do with my own pets.
About: I have enjoyed having pets of all kinds in my home over the years, and have sat for friends, family, and neighbors for as long a I can remember. I offer peace of mind that your precious friend is well cared for in the proper manner. If you run a strong rules and routine household, I will do things exactly as you describe. If you need someone to cuddle, play, and give-in to your pet's every demand, I can do that! I know the importance of keeping things as normal as possible for our besties, and you know your pet better than anyone else. What you say goes! I currently work full-time, M-F, a few minutes from my home. My spouse has a home office and is with our fluffers during the day, while I'm away. I am focusing on Rover during weekend hours only, until I retire. I have a sweet kitty, and a grumpy little old man at home (dog, not husband LOL) who does not appreciate visitors of any type. So, I am currently available in your home only. I know that it is unsettling for our furry friends (feathered, scaled, etc.) when we are not with them. It is my goal to keep their routine as close as possible to normal for them to help alleviate their stress. I would appreciate a detailed description of what you expect, and will do my best to meet those expectations. I would also love to provide some enrichment activities. Just let me know what their favorite things are, and we will have a great time together.
About: Hi, I'm Lisa — a Registered Nurse, a mom, and a lifelong animal lover. For 17 years I've cared for people at their most vulnerable, and I bring that same calm, attentive, compassionate approach to every pet in my care. Pet care isn’t a side gig or something I stumbled into - it’s a deliberate choice rooted in a lifelong love of animals and a professional commitment to doing things right. I understand what it means to trust someone with the ones you love and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am independently insured and bonded, giving you peace-of-mind that you are fully supported when I am caring for your pet. I'm home during the day, which means your pet gets real, focused attention — not a rushed visit squeezed between other obligations. When you're at work, traveling, or just need a break, your furry family member will be safe, comfortable, and loved. I structure our days around our clients' pets. Morning walks, midday drop-ins, and daytime care all fit naturally into my daily routine so your pet's schedule stays consistent even when yours gets busy. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays intact. When visiting your home, I stick to the schedule you've set — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — so your pet barely notices you're gone. That predictability is what keeps them calm, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl, rather it was family dogs, kitties, or even horses, I have always loved being with fur babies! I have had several pets of my own, including a sassy high maintance kitty, so I have experience catering to animals of all temperaments. Rest assured your fur baby will feel loved and cared for with me! I have a fairly flexible schedule within a certain radius, so I am happy to fit your fur baby into my regular routine. I am a very active individual, so I would love to be able to exercise and give your dog the attention they deserve when you are too busy! Safety is of upmost importance to me! I am very organized and detail oriented, so am happy to follow any set of specific instructions for your fur babies safety.
About: I have a super flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of time, attention, and love. I’m also a proud cat mom to my baby Charlie, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust with your fur baby. 🐾🤍 I currently have a completely open schedule, so I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends! I’m super flexible and can easily work around you and your pet’s routine. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. My own cat, Charlie, is a shy boy who prefers being the only pet in his space, so I keep home his safe and peaceful place.
“Alyssa was so amazing with my kitties! Very attentive, kept me informed the entire time I was away. She also cleaned up litter on the floor and took out the trash. Will definitely have her back the next time I go out of town! :-)”
About: Hi! I’m new to Rover and I've been caring for pets since I was a little girl and have experience living with both dogs and cats! I'm comfortable tending to their daily needs, including feeding, walking, cleaning up, and keeping them company. I love playing with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I'm available all week! I'm available throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule! I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether that means stopping by for meals, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. I'm also available on weekends! I want your pets to feel as comfortable with me as they do with you! I'll make sure to follow their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions you leave. I'm also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your furry friend is doing while you're away!
About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.
“Allison is wonderful! Our kitty took to her quickly, and she took great care of our her for us while we were away. Communication was excellent as well. Would definitely book again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals since as far back I can remember I have also worked in the vet for sometime now I have experience puppies to senior animals I'm currently working an overnight job I can work with your schedule if needed I just need to know advance so I can make time to help you out with your fur babies. I have two friendly dogs I do not have a fence for the outside but I still can walk your fur baby's around and play with them outside so they can get enough exercise and play time.
About: I have extensive experience raising and caring for large animals, which has taught me the dedication, patience, and skill required to ensure their well-being. I currently own three Anatolian Shepherds—two of which I raised from puppies—as well as an Australian Shepherd mix, giving me firsthand knowledge of managing active, working breeds. In addition, I have professional experience as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for the daily care of animals, including feeding, monitoring health, maintaining clean and safe environments, and administering medications. Hi there! My name is Sean, and I have an extensive background in caring for pets. I currently work a part-time job, which allows me flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. On the days I work from 7–5, I’m still available to stop by at least twice a day for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I can also spend quality time with your pets in the evenings. On my off-days, half-days and weekends, I have even more availability to provide extra attention, walks, and companionship. I provide my services in the client's home and do not board animals, which allows the pets to remain in a familiar and stress free environment. I promise to respect the client's property and ensure to maintain a safe and clean house. If your animal requires medication I am able to administer tablets or food supplements, but I cannot do injections such as insulin or medications of that nature.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been working with them since I was a young teenager! Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience at a dog boarding facility, a veterinary clinic, and now full-time at a local animal shelter, caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Through fostering, I became even more familiar with cats, and at home, I share my life with two dogs and three cats. I’ve had several long-standing pet-sitting clients before moving to this area outside of Rover, and I love meeting new pets and building bonds with them. I’m confident administering medications and giving attentive, loving care to make sure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. If your pet has fur, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time, so I’m available for morning check-ins or walks before 8 AM and evening visits after 5 PM. On weekends, I’m wide open and happy to schedule drop-ins or walks based on what works best for you and your pet. I may also be able to accommodate a midday walk or check-in between 12 PM and 2 PM, depending on your location and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on government holidays, and I’m always happy to communicate and find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for! I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I strive to make every interaction safe, fun, and fulfilling for the animal while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. On walks, I stay alert and attentive, ensuring pets remain safe at all times and calmly leaving any situation that makes them seem uncomfortable or stressed. During drop-in visits, I closely observe each pet’s overall well-being, including their behavior, energy level, and routine, and I will promptly report any concerns to the owner. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for in their home or while out on walks.
About: I’ve had many types of dogs since 11 years old of all ages, from babies to senior ages. I care for all dogs. No exceptions :) I work part time during the morning. I enjoy reading, cooking and learning new recipes. Daily house chores to keep and maintain fur babes is a must in my household. As of right now, I don’t have any pets that belong to me. There is a cat in the home that stays with my roommate, mainly in her room. Daily house chores to keep and maintain fur babes is a must in my household.

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
