“Appreciated the great care Dana went to take care of our kitties! They were so happy and calm when we returned from out of town and we could tell they had been very well brushed. Their coats were extra soft!”
“Sarah is excellent! She’s a very responsive and took great care of my cats while I was away on holidays. Would definitely recommend her as a responsible and friendly sitter.”
“Madalyn was wonderful with our 13-year-old cat, Nova! She was incredibly responsive, attentive, and comfortable administering Nova’s medication. She also paid close attention to Nova’s appetite and was proactive about checking in on her feeding schedule to make sure her needs were being met. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Nova was in such caring, capable hands. We’re so happy to have found such a wonderful sitter for our senior girl and would absolutely recommend Madalyn! 🐈⬛”
“I have entrusted Riley and Victoria with my medically needy animals on a few occasions. They are wonderful. My cats appreciate them and I know my animals are safe and well looked after.”
About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.
About: I have a 9 year old golden retriever at home that I’ve raised since he was a puppy. He gets along with everybody! I have taken care of family dogs and friends’ dogs throughout my life. I offer daily walks around a very walkable neighborhood and lots of couch cuddles for your dog! Happy to administer medicine. I welcome dogs of all ages and energy levels! I have a flexible work schedule and work from home two days a week so would fit my schedule to your dog’s visit. I have a flexible work schedule and work from home every Friday, which allows me plenty of time to spend with my dog and yours! I am available for boarding on weekends. I love taking my pup on walks at Shelby or playing with him outside in our fenced in back yard. He loves everyone he meets! We live in a very walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks.
“Heather did a meet & greet the day before we had her scheduled. She was a great fit for our two Golden Retrievers. She completed both visits including notes and pictures. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“Mary was great and I would definitely recommend her and use her again! She watched my cat and my fish and was very communicative and friendly throughout the process. She was also very understanding and sweet with my cat who has a unique personality.”
“The best cat sitter!!! She was so attentive and thoughtful while we were out of town. It was nice to know Bo had someone to hang out with and give him much needed (his words) attention.”
“We are so thankful to have found Shirlee. She loves Lady as if she were her own. I can always rest assured when I leave my dog with Shirlee. She even brought her a cute Christmas toy!”
About: Experienced veterinary technician of 7 years now promoted to stay at home mom. Allowing me the capability to provide to those pets who need care throughout the day and evenings. I offer in home boarding / day care. Pets must be cat friendly and non aggressive towards children. I have a 2 year old daughter who adores animals and has been raised to be respectful of animal boundaries and loving towards all. I am trained on administration of medications / insulin. And can provide specialized care for those with medical conditions. I accept all ages (puppies-seniors) of all breeds. Drop in visits / walks are available as well! I am a stay at home mom who can provide all day care for your baby while you are away. Frequent potty breaks, playtime and snuggle time! We have a fenced in back yard, and will crate the dog if requested by the owner. Some pets really enjoy the security that the crate provides and I am respectful of all pet parents choices.
About: I've had a pet for as long as I can remember. I've either had a job in Childcare or animals and would love to help you out! I am self employed so am open to work with whatever schedule you need. Let me know and we can figure out the best way to meet your pets needs. I won't be offering pet sitting in my home but am more than happy to assist in your home so that they feel safe and comfortable.
About: i’ve worked as an overnight pet sitter since high school as a side hustle! love to play with pets of all kinds & am more than happy to help when you need an extra hand! Just relocated to the city and have some time before starting my new job, so my availability is wide open to suit your preferred schedule. I will accommodate any and all needs your pet has. I am unable to bring pets to my own home, but more than happy to take pets to parks, on long walks, or in your own back yard!
About: I have been a dog-lover since I was a very young child growing up with big dogs all around me! Not only did I have my own family dogs, but my parents would let me take on the responsibility of watching our neighbors dogs when they'd go away on long trips so I could gain some responsibility. Now fully into my adult years, I still offer to help out with pet-sitting and hope I can come care for your pet as well! Since I cannot have a dog of my own right now due to apartment restrictions, I fully immerse myself in dog-mom mode when I get to have someone else's pup temporarily. I've trained puppies, given medication to elderly dogs, and everything in-between! I am a dance and aerial instructor on nights and weekends, so I am available during mornings and for drop-in visits on weekends since my classes are at random times. I prefer to stay local and will eventually open up my schedule for more nights possibly. I'd love to connect with you and get to know your pet to see how we can personalize the care that works for you! I am not allowed to have guest pets in my apartment building, so I unfortunately cannot host your pet at my place. I would love to come and take your dog out for a walk or just come keep your pet company and make sure they're getting plenty of fresh food & water and attention!
About: I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, patience, playtime, and cuddles. Comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely while job searching, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, giving love, walks, and attention. I also have a gentle senior dog and fenced yard for safe socializing.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had an irresistible urge to stop and say hello to every animal I see, whether they have paws, feathers, scales, or hooves! I often joke that one of my biggest regrets is not becoming a veterinarian, but caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am.🩷 Being around pets genuinely fills my heart with joy. I love getting to know their unique personalities, making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and caring companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the attention they deserve.🫶🏼🐾 I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, loving, and attentive to your pet’s needs. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and lots of tail wags (or purrs!) along the way.✨ I have a full-time job but I get off at 5pm (Mon-Fri) and honestly I don’t mind using that extra time to spend it with some furry friends. Also I am flexible on weekends! I would ask and take note of any instructions. Other than that, I’d be playing, cuddling, teaching tricks, talking to them or showing them off to my family and friends (specially my mom). If the pet is asleep I’d be reading a book or watching a movie but close by. I enjoy their company all the way!
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was younger. I have had cats, dogs and tarantulas, so I am used to a wide range of animals. I live alone and work a typical 9-5 job as an attorney in town, and I do not have any pets of my own. I always pet-sit for my friends' cats and dogs, so I would love to do it with Rover. I love to play games with the animals to keep them stimulated. I also enjoy walking animals and simply being with them. I am very good with both dogs and cats.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Dana first did a meet ‘n greet with my cat, which went very well, so we were glad to have her sit for a handful of days! I think she mentioned she has cared for many (maybe 100?) cats, so it was nice to know my cat was going to be cared for by a true cat person.
Hailey was amazing with our elderly cat. She spent time with her every morning while we were gone for two weeks, not only feeding but giving her some much-needed attention. She’s extremely responsive and communicative, her updates were very detailed and I couldn’t recommend her more!
Raeanne was absolutely phenomenal! She took such wonderful care of my kitty this week, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. I really appreciated all the updates and care she put into everything. I would absolutely recommend Raeanne and would happily have her watch him again anytime! 💕

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 .

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 , 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.
