“Michelle was a very caring sitter. My two kitties have not had a sitter before, but they quickly grew comfortable with Michelle. She sent me wonderful notes and pictures every day, so that I would know they were OK and I could see their sweet faces. The kitties are my family, and I love them, so it was important to see that they were well cared for and nurtured. Their interactions with Michelle were so sweet. I would ask her to pet sitter my kitties again and highly recommend her.”
About: I have cared for cats most of my life! I grew up in the country and had about 8 outdoor cats that I cared for growing up. Fast forward to today and my home has 2 wonderful cats that I care for! Both are special needs. PopTart has cerebellar hypoplasia and Lady comes from a former abusive home. I am very well versed in taking on any complex situations that may arise due to my experience with my special needs cats. I have loved cats for my whole life. Many cats I have met left a lasting impression on me. I remember all of their names. PopTart, Lady, Kellogg, Waffles, Buttercup, Lucy, Tigger, and the list goes on. I hope to add your cat to the list of cats that have changed my life! I work from home currently so I will be home 24/7. I am almost always able to pause what I am doing and immediately jump to action. I am a homebody so I will be home to care for your cat almost constantly! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is quite spacious. Both bedrooms are carpeted! I have two cats. Poptart and Lady. Both are as friendly as can be and were instant companions. Neither have ever shown any signs of aggression. Lady actually has taken on a caretaker role for PopTart and I am sure she would be delighted to care for more. You will be given the option during booking for your cat to stay in my second bedroom or if you would like to allow them to freeroam at night. The second bedroom is my current cats bedroom and it is decked out for your cats comfort. Multiple large cat beds, a couch to sleep on, multiple toys, and I even have a TV set up to play bird videos for your cats playtime! I obviously will be keeping the cats separate at night when I cannot monitor them. If you would prefer your cat to freeroam at night then I will put them in their bedroom at night as usual. If you would prefer your cat to stay in my guest cat room then I will allow the cats to freeroam and close the bedroom door. Your cat will be a constant priority.
About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings. I'm retired, so I can be flexible with your scheduling needs for both your pets and your home. I'm both an early riser and a night owl, so whatever works for you also works for me! I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.
“Kylie is amazing!! This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely use her again! She even went an extra visit cause we have some naughty cats which we were so so grateful for!”
About: I have 5 pets as of now! I have 3 cats, 1 ferret, and a bunny! I am willing to take care of any age! I do have experience with bottle feeding kittens as well! I currently work every Friday-Monday until 3pm but I am willing to care for you pet after that if needed. I am free anytime Tuesday-Wednesday. I am willing to take care of any kind of animals! I love walking so taking your dog on a walk would be perfect, and of course making sure they get lots of pets too!!
“This is our second time booking with Jenna, and we couldn’t be happier. We were away during a heatwave, and she was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was okay. As always, we are grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and care and attention to our baby kitty. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s cats and my own cats since I was old enough to help! I also raised 4 litters of kittens, and they all grew up to be happy, cuddly, and sociable! (Source: We kept a few of them 😁) I have also taken care of a senior cat that required medicated food at precise times of day. I’m currently a graduate student at UIUC, so outside of classes I am very flexible! I have excellent time management skills and can easily fit lots of social time in for your pets. Plus it’s easy to bring homework to hang out and pet sit, win win :) In my home I am very careful about hiding anything dangerous from sight. I have cats that love to chew on anything that fits in their mouth and I have gotten very good at creatively hiding cables from them. They get lots of cuddle time and sleep in my bed every night, which is the same love I bring to everyone’s cats!
About: I have an extensive background in professional animal care at grooming and boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, and educational institutions. I am fear-free and pet CPR certified and the owner of my small business, Passionate Pet Care where I consider the health and happiness of my clients to be my top and only priority. I graduated in 2024 with my bachelors degree in Animal Poultry and Veterinary Sciences and am currently obtaining my DVM degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. Throughout my many experiences, I have become comfortable working with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and health conditions. If I had to choose 2 words to describe myself, they would be reliable and attentive. I have a deep passion for animal welfare and I hope to have the privilege of meeting your little family member soon! I’m currently off for summer break so my availability is open! I am used to caring for pets on a daily basis as I have a 5 year old domestic short hair, Leo and I often help my parents and friends care for their pets. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for while you're away. I closely follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions provided by pet parents. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat the home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away! <3
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior rescue dogs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship while you're away, I'll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care I'd give my own. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and happy to follow any instructions you provide so your dog can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I have a fairly flexible schedule for work, so mornings and evenings most days I can work in pet care without much issue. Weekends I have mostly free as well. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any other care your pet is used to receiving. I know every pet has a different personality. Some love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean and secure. During each visit, I'll send updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away.

Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our two cats, Rubble and Skye. She went above and beyond letting us know how they both were doing at every visit. Even our shy and timid cat was out and about with her after the first visit. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet care.

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.
