“Jennifer stops by for drop in visits for our senior golden retriever , and we are so lucky to have her coming to our house. Knowing that our dog with someone so caring gave us so much peace of mind. We are grateful for the attention she gives to our pet. She is punctual, always on time and communicates very well. We will continue using her as our pet sitter. Thank you Jennifer.”
“Vicky did an awesome job caring for Bruce. She was in communication with me and sent great pictures so I had complete peace of mind. I think Bruce really liked Vicky and the feeling was mutual. I highly recommend Vicky to care for your fur baby.”
“Dallas was so wonderful with our cat while we were away for 10 days. She gave her lots of love and sent us pictures and updates everyday. She is highly responsive and was truly a pleasure to get to know!”
“Julia was fantastic. We needed someone to drop in for our chocolate lab while we were away for a softball tournament. I realized he needed two drop ins and she was very accommodating. She was punctual, friendly, and took good care of our boy. Would recommend Julia 🙂”
About: I’ve volunteered at animal shelters since I was a young teen, taken care of neighbor’s pets while they were away on vacation, and most of all, have thoroughly cared for my own pets since I was a child. I have taken care of cats and dogs, as well as rabbits and other small animals. I currently have an 8 year old long haired rescue cat named Jasper who calls my house his home! 🐈⬛ I’m a full time music teacher during the week, so ideally I will be available to walk dogs on the weekends. Please feel free to reach out with any specific time concerns or requests! If I am walking your dog or visiting your pets for a drop-in, my main goal is to care for them as if they were my own pet. My love and care for animals runs very deep, and I aim to extend that to any pets in my care.
“Savana did a great job following all directions and communicating clearly and proactively. My two dogs were very happy and all good with the house. I highly recommend Savana for your drop-in visits.”
About: I take pride in my work and strive to treat each and every animal I care for as I would my own personal pets. I personally understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your furry family members and do my best to make the experience as amazing as possible for both pets and pet parents. I have worked in the pet care industry for over ten years now. I began dog walking in NYC, then managed a luxury boarding/daycare facility for dogs in East Syracuse. Since then I have also branched out into working in animal rescue as well. I also am currently pursuing a certification in dog training. I currently work for myself so my hours are flexible. I can accommodate dog walking most mornings, afternoons and nights. I currently offer in home boarding but limit it to three dogs per night to ensure the best quality of care. I understand that allowing someone into your home to care for your pet can be nerve racking, so I strive to be as mindful of this as possible. Some of the ways I ensure I do this are by speaking with the client before hand to go over anything specific they need done, entering the home in a safe and respectful manner, greeting the pet I'm caring for with enthusiasm, creating a bond with them & making the experience as fun and stress free as possible.
“Jeannie was wonderful to work with and took such great care of our three cats while we were away. It was so nice of her to come by and visit/meet the cats and make sure she knew exactly how to care for each of them. And the updates after her drop-in visits were so nice! Will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: Hi there! My name is Madeline, and I would love to hear from you about your furry friend. I grew up surrounded by horses, dogs, and cats alike on farms across the Hudson Valley, which instilled a love for animals within me at a very young age. I understand that each client and animal requires an individualized approach. I am more than willing to listen to your desires and make adjustments to accommodate them to the best of my ability. I would consider myself quite the outdoorsy person, which makes me a great candidate to spend time with your animals. I am more than willing to answer any questions that you may have for me, and I look forward to hearing from you. I enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and affection. I plan my schedule to be sure every pet gets the care they need, whether it's walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following the owner's instructions carefully and maintaining their normal routine. I give pets plenty of love, attention, and positive interaction while respecting their individual personalities and needs.
“Xiomara was very communicative and detailed in her updates, which gave me a lot of confidence that my cat was safe and well fed while I was gone! Overall she is very professional, friendly, and clearly cares about animals!”
“I wish I could give Alexis more than 5 stars!!! I contacted Alexis last minute about day care for my two German shepherds, plans quickly changed because of my one of dogs health and she didn’t hesitate to offer to come to my house instead. My dog had an accident in my house and she thoroughly cleaned up after him. Alexis goes above and beyond for her clients and their pets from quick response times to genuinely caring for your pet. Keep up the great work and I look forward to booking again with you soon!”

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.

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.
