“Matt and Alyssa were fantastic! They took such great care of our two cats. Very quickly responsive and reliable. I am so glad to have them locally to check in!”
About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years and most recently a turtle. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind 1 year old. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to pop over for a walk, bathroom break or food assist. Since I work from home they can even hang out with me all day either inside or in my large fenced in yard. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets.

I’m available after 2pm on Friday's and all day Saturday & Sunday. I am very active and enjoy going for long walks and runs, but I also love to cuddle up and snooze. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly small dog that loves to play and run around. I have an indoor porch where my animals and yours can stay separate if need be. I am able to comfortably crate your dog if needed.

“Jordan was great checking in on my cat Poe! She was communicative, responsive, experienced and was able to give my cat his medication while I was away. She made everything very easy, highly recommend!”
“Audrey was great! She was very courteous and super pleasant, and we felt like Calliope was in very good hands. She was able to meet on very short notice for the meet and greet, asked all the right questions, and it is clear she loves pets and sees them as family members. When we got back from our trip away, Calliope was safe and sound and everything had gone right. We look forward to using her again.”

“Virginia took great care of our 3 cats during our 9 day vacation. Our cats are very shy around strangers, and they warmed up to her quickly! She was very loving and caring, giving each of them a lot of attention. She combed them, played with them and made sure they had enough food and water. She also vacuumed before we returned. She was reliable and communicated well with us, providing several daily photos and videos. We would hire Virginia again and highly recommend her!”
“Anna took a great care of my cat Ellie. She did everything I asked her to do and more! She swept the scattered litter around the house and also cleaned up after Ellie spit up her food. Anna was in contact with me and reachable at all times. She gave all the attention to my cat while I was away and cuddled and petted her so Ellie didn't feel alone. Anna was very flexible with the key drop off arrangements as well. Great job Anna! I will definitely be booking with Anna again whenever I need a pet sitter.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Maynard
Danai was lovely to work with. She took good care of our animal crew, which included giving meds to one. When one of them was hiding extra well, she reached out asking where his hiding spots were so she could ensure he was doing ok, which I really appreciated.
She took excellent care of my three cats and was very responsive throughout our time away. I was concerned about a potential temperature issue in our home before leaving, and she kindly checked and updated me on it daily, which gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond, gave the cats treats, and they were all very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.
Kiaria is incredibly helpful and truly cared for my cat while I was away. She went above and beyond—bringing in my packages and even helping with the snow while I was on vacation. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my home and my cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
