“This is the second time Sarah has watched my two cats, they both require insulin injections and she did an amazing job and thoroughly followed directions. She went out of her way to bring toys from home to play with them which they loved. I think they like her better than me LOL. I would recommend Sarah to anyone.”
“After just coming off a very negative river experience, Kristin took AMAZING care of our cat Beau. She sent me tons of pictures and updates and made sure he was well cared for while we were away. Will definitely be booking again!!”
“Daisy is so wonderful!! I am grateful for the peace of mind I have when she watches our cats. She always goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and healthy. We appreciate her! 😊”

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!
“We left Aaron with our precious Lucy for 4 nights and we loved the way he knew how to gain Lucy's trust! We may have come by and take Lucy for a walk just so she remembers him. We felt confident with Aaron's dog whisperer skills. We will use him again. Thank you Aaron!”

Ready to love your furry family member I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday after 4 PM. Saturday and Sunday any time. I work part time so I have plenty of time to play.

About: I've been working with animals, both cats and dogs, my entire life. I love animals and spending time taking care of them. I've got personal experience with my own animals (I currently have an adorable kitty and I had many pets growing up), as well as many times where I have house/pet sit for family friends and rover clients for up to a week at a time. I'm very adaptable and kind, which makes communication between me and clients efficient and sincere. I'm currently unemployed and I would love to fill my time with taking care of fur babies. Fitting in time for playing/walking/feeding pets won't be an issue for me. I am available to feed, watch, let out, play with, walk or simply keep your animal company if they have anxiety. I'm good at following directions and can work well with clients to care for their pet in the best way possible. Depending on the day, I can also stay over night with your pet to housesit if needed (I have a lot of experience with this format).

“Brittany took care of Patches as if she were her own fur baby! Brittany went above and beyond when Patches was struggling due to my extended trip. When I returned home, Patches was very calm and content as a direct result of Brittany's care!”
About: Animals have always been my passion! Ever since I was 13, I've taken care of many different kinds of animals, from scaley to furry; I've handled it all. I can dog walk, come to your home to pet or house sit, or stop by to let your dog out. You name it, I can do it! I live with 3 cats, and they all love attention! I also care for my dog and cat at my mother's as well when I can. I'll feed your pet, bathe your pet, take your pet to potty, play with your pet, and, of course, love on your pet! Animals are precious and always deserve love and attention.
About: From the moment I was born, we always had a dog growing up. In 2013, I got my very own pitbull puppy and she quickly became my best friend. She walked on my journey with me for 10 years. Through changing cities, college, careers, and becoming a mother to two daughters, she was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Our pets truly become apart of the family. It is important for us to show them everyday how much we love and cherish them while they are walking on our journey. Finding the right person couldn’t be more important. I am a stay-at-home mom of two daughters. Our days are usually spent outdoors going on walks, local hiking trails or cool parks. As the weather is getting cooler, we always welcome a furry friend to cuddle on the couch while watching movies and sipping hot cocoa. Opportunities for pet care is important for us as part of life teachings and my daughters take the task very seriously. My home has a large fenced backyard. They have the opportunity to stay inside the home or roam freely outside. We have a doggy door for easy access but are more than willing to open the back patio door each time if they do not know how to use the doggy door. Inside your home, I can tailor to your needs without any issues.
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs most my life! I have three big dogs and one small. I have experience with elderly dogs and young puppies. I work at my job until 2pm on weekdays so anytime after 2 and all times on the weekends I’m available for all the pet care you might need. I have nine cats of my own so I’m very vigilant about closing doors and gates, and checking any other risk factors to keep animals safe.
About: All my life I’ve had animals . I’ve had everything from Min Pins to Pitties. They rely on us and deserve the best care and environment. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am home all day except to drop off and pick up my child from school. Weekends are usually spent at home relaxing in the backyard. I have a fence in backyard with a doggy door that allows animals to come and go through out the day. I let dogs on the couch to cuddle. 🥰
About: I had a pet cat and dog growing up that I took care of and have also regularly taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats. I’m currently working part time. I’m available Tue, Thur, Fri, Sat, and Sun from 1pm-10pm . I’m also available Monday and Wednesday from 6pm-10pm for a higher fee. I care for your pets by being attentive to their needs. I make sure that your pet is going to the restroom when needed, eats at the allotted times you provide, and goes on walks for exercise

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - McHenry
Natalia watched my two senior cats after my regular cat sitter became unavailable at the last minute. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit apprehensive at first, but Natalia exceeded my expectations and I have already rebooked with her to watch my cats during my next vacation.,One of my cats is extremely timid and shy, and is already coming out of hiding to interact with Natalia, and that should tell you all you need to know about her ability and connect with animals. Natalia went above and beyond and even took my trash out for me on her last day caring for my cats, and she made sure my fish were fed daily as well. Highly recommend using her to care for your fur babies!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
