“Amazing and so kind! She noticed water was leaking after a bad storm so she closed off the area to make sure my cats wouldn’t get into it. Super great and communicative, definitely trustworthy.”

“Edgar was easy to work with and very attentive to my cat. My cat is a senior and I mix meds into her breakfast plate. He was able to accommodate her schedule. I would not hesitate to have him take care of her the next time I need a cat sitter!”

“Stephanie took wonderful care of both my kitties and my home! She communicated each day with photos and notes on how they were doing. She was very attentive to a change in behavior with one of my babies - she made sure to reach out to me, and even my emergency contact just to affirm that everything was OK. I’m extremely appreciative for both the attention and communication, because one of my cats is diabetic and sometimes a small thing is a big thing. Most importantly, my cats love her! They are always happy and well cared for when I return home. Stephanie also kept my house very clean and even changed my sheets for me so I could just return home and go right to bed. Very grateful to have her as a Sitter!”

About: Fostered cats and dogs with the Central Missouri Humane Society for about three years, all ages and capable of medicine distribution if needed. Have lived with cats my whole life, very familiar with the care they need. Occasionally pet sitter for friends and family throughout the years, including staying the night and daytime visits/walks! New to the Brookfield area and have a part time job with a different schedule every week, Mondays and Tuesdays are guaranteed open for me to assist in pet care needs! At home I've always helped clean litter boxes for my family cats and when dog walking picking up poop, as well as playing fetch and belly rubs! I always try to make sure the pet is comfortable and trusts me to ensure a positive environment while their humans are busy.

About: I grew up with pets such as multiple cats and dogs big and little from the day I was born. I have also had many jobs of dog walking and dog sitting about 5 years of that. I will make sure your pets are fed, played with as well as happy and cared for. I’m very good at making sure there’s food and water as well as potty breaks and play times. If you hire me to pet sit your cute little animals I’m sure you’ll be happy they’re in good hands and won’t have to worry about them. I have no medical issues and no allergies so you wouldn’t have to worry about anything happening. I also love animals any breed and any type of species. You wouldn’t regret having me care for your animals and I prefer you to be happy for them in good care. What better way to spend time than being with animals. I’m always free and available to take care and provide my service to others and make them happy. I take care of them. We would bond and play with toys. Also I am a person who talks to animals like they’re human. We would have a fun time. I would make sure they’re fed and have water and any needs that their owner would want me to provide.

About: I run a dog walking and training business in Chicago, and pet care is at the center of everything I do. I hold a search and rescue dog training certification, which means I bring real behavioral know-how to every walk: reading body language, managing leash reactivity, and helping anxious dogs feel safe in new environments. Whether it's a high-energy pup needing a solid outlet or a senior dog needing a gentler pace, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I'm background-checked and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can trust your pup is in steady, capable hands. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my business, so dog walks and visits are built into the core of my week rather than squeezed in around something else. I keep a flexible daily schedule that lets me offer consistent walk times your dog can count on, plus room for same-week bookings when plans change. Mornings and early afternoons tend to be my most open windows, and I'm always happy to work with you to find a recurring time that fits your routine. Safety comes first on every walk. I'm background-checked, and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can feel confident handing over your leash. Before a first walk, I always do a meet and greet to get a feel for your dog's temperament, energy level, and any triggers, so I can adjust my approach accordingly, with secure leash handling and close attention to signs of stress or fatigue. In your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors and gates secure and leaving everything exactly as I found it.

About: I have always loved dogs, and showing them care is just a part of that. The more love you show dogs, the more love they will show you! I have had a dog for about 7 years now, and she is completely spoiled and just a huge part of my life. Dogs are definitely family, and should be treated as such. Leaving your dogs with someone is a huge trust thing, and it would be an honor for you to trust me with such a huge responsibility. All dogs should be treated with love and respect and be able to enjoy the walks they deserve. I also love nearby a dog park and would love to help burn some of their energy there, because I know a lot of dogs like playing there! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I am completely flexible and can make any schedule that works for you work for me within reason! Let me know how I can help. Whatever instructions you leave for me I will follow to a t, I will do whatever works for you and your pet. You know what’s best!

I’ve had four dogs and a variety of other pets throughout my life, and I spent three years working at a dog kennel which also had cats and all kinds of pets as well. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra attention they need. I am available almost everyday during the week and can work on a short notice.

About: I'm intimately familiar with cats and their body language and have been taking care of my silly accident-prone orange boy for 6 years. For the past few years, I've taken care of multiple cats at a time, have rescued kittens, and house-sat for other cat owners. I know how to handle the crazy kitties that may love or hate strangers. I go to classes every weekday until 2:30pm, freeing up my entire afternoon to care for people's pets! I also have my own car, allowing me to travel more reliably. I brush, feed, water, and play with clients' pets while remaining respectful of their homes. I am a quick learner when it comes to understanding an animal's preferences, including sitting with them the entire time they eat to help them feel secure.

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.

“Diane was fantastic! She took excellent care of my two kittens, including one who needed meds three times a day. She sent me updates and photos and was great about communicating throughout my time away. She even made sure that my flight was not delayed before she left the kittens. When I got home, my apartment was very clean and my kittens were very happy and well-cared for! I would definitely have her take care of my kittens again!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs from a young age. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, primarily domestic shorthair cats. I also have experience caring for dogs, including pit bulls and German Shepherds. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting to different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and routines. I focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care during evenings and weekends. I’m also planning to return to a part-time schedule that will give me more flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. I’m reliable about planning ahead and can work with owners to create a consistent schedule that fits their pet’s needs and routine. My services will primarily be provided in the client’s home, where I can care for pets in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks or playtime, litter care, medication if needed, and any specific preferences or house rules. I’m respectful of the client’s space and prioritize keeping their home clean, secure, and comfortable. I’m also planning to get my own apartment soon, which may allow me to offer additional in-home boarding or sitting options in the future.

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Agnes! She took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away and followed every single instruction to the letter. We absolutely loved getting her regular updates and the great photos she sent, which gave us total peace of mind. Agnes was incredibly respectful of our home, and we returned to a happy, relaxed cat. We would rebook with Agnes in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!

This was my first time leaving my two recently-adopted cats home alone, and it was such a relief to know Jessica was checking in on them. She was so communicative and made sure to send pictures (even when my girls were being shy and hiding). I would absolutely recommend her services, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat the next time I need a sitter! Thank you, Jessica :)

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.

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 .

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 , 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.
