“This was out first time with Brittany and she was great with our 2 dogs! One of our dogs is diabetic and needs insulin injections so we just needed drop ins. Her communication was excellent! She was very intuitive in regards to interacting with our boys for the first time. She made us feel confident with her in charge that there would be no issues and we didn't have to worry. We absolutely will use her services again for any future needs!”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Huxley! She arrived on time, followed all directions perfectly, and was reliable and communicative throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Michelle is the BEST. I feel so comfortable leaving our Flower in her hands while we’re away. Our dog is very reactive and sometimes difficult to walk… Michelle is like the dog whisperer with her. She’s amazing, I almost don’t want to recommend her because then she’ll be too busy with other customers! 💗”
“Melanie is so wonderful! She graciously took a last minute booking and also was super easy going about my address mixup which I GREATLY appreciate her for. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Net has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, especially helping us adjust to our new addition to the family. We have a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound and a ~5-month-old Norwegian Elkhound, and she has been wonderful with both of them. On the days she walks them, I come home from work to two dogs who are calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. From the very first meeting, they adored her and were immediately comfortable playing and spending time with her. I’m incredibly thankful to have found someone so reliable and kind who has taken the stress of midday walks off my plate. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Danielle was awesome with my frenchies. She was on time and took my pups out to play and do their business. She played with them and because it was hot outside, she brought them in and played with them inside! Thank you Danielle for all you do!!!”
About: Hi, I am a mature and experienced pet owner. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and loved my own dogs (Rottweiler, Boxers, Jack Russell and Frenchton) while raising my children. I am unfortunately not able to have my own pets due to where I live. I have traveled for work, sporting events and vacations and know the stress of finding care for my pets where they will feel loved and be well taken care of. I want to offer peace of mind to others when they cannot take their furry family members with them when traveling. I work from home so I will be able to treat you pet like my own. I will be there in the morning, evening, and throughout the day. I can bring my work supplies to you home (reliable wifi is required) to work. I am unable to care for pets in my home. When caring for your pet in your home I will follow the instructions you provide. I enjoy playing and hanging out with cats and dogs but also know not all cats and dogs are the same. Through conversation with you I will learn how best to interact with your pet to ensure there is a great experience for all. The boxers in my picture were mine. They live long spoiled lives, with lots of love and play time. The fawn with the white face was hand-signal trained and if you know boxers, you know that takes patience. They both love people of all ages and were as goofy and as lovable as their boxer reputation.
“Arielle was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and was able to help us out in a pinch! She took great care of our dogs and came by each day at the time requested. We felt our dogs were in good care with Arielle. I would highly recommend her services! We will definitely be using her again!”
“May-Kate was great with our cats! We came home from vacation to two very happy cats! This was our first time leaving them with a cat sitter, and we were nervous about leaving them, but they loved playing with her and enjoyed her visits. She was super quick to respond to any texts I sent and always sent photos of the cats and notes about her visits right after she was finished. Her photos and notes about how they were doing gave us peace of mind and let us know our cats were well taken care of while we were away. We'll definitely book her again when we go out of town!”
“So grateful to Donna for taking such good care of our cat while we were away! Communicative, kind, flexible, and reliable. She even stepped in and helped when our plans unexpectedly changed during the trip. A life-saver!”
“It’s rare to find someone who understands and cares for our cats -rescues and extremely shy-so well. She has an exceptional way of connecting with them, which was both heartwarming and made us feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Coming home to a tidy space and seeing our cats so relaxed was such a delight! we’ll definitely book her services again :)”
About: I have been sitting for years and currently have two dogs of my own. Our older dog had ear cancer so I am familiar with how to care for sick dogs and how to give medicine and the treatments of such nature. I currently work during the work week so I am free most nights during the week do stop ins and then have much more open availability on the weekends! I am very attentive to the needs set out by the parents and make sure I am following instructions! I love taking the pets and walks as it’s good for both me and them! I would love to play and also can be down for a good cuddle as well.
About: My life has always been centered around animals. Growing up I had dogs, cats, and even started riding horses at 8 years old. As I got older I realized there’s nothing better than giving back to the animals that do so much for us. I now work at a trusted animal hospital as a veterinary assistant and I’m in school to become a veterinary technician. I have experience with many different animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As a veterinary assistant I have a schedule that changes by week, but I typically have weekends and one or two weekdays off. In order to prioritize time with your fur baby I only set my availability to my days off, or walks after I get out of work. Safety and comfort are priorities for me. For pets it can be scary when their owners are away so I always take the necessary steps to ease their minds. I will treat your pets exactly how I would want mine to be treated.
About: I have grown up with my three dogs in the house that I have always helped out with and got my two cats when i got my first job following my cats i’ve had as a child. I pet sit for my neighbors when they go on trips and watch their dog and two cats, as well as go over to brush and walk the dog when needed and I have done this for them for 7 years I currently work part time and have lots of free time to take care of your pets! I have time for long and short visits / walks. Safety with the animal and communication with the owner is key! Thanks to my Certifications I know how to properly restrain all size pets if needed, as well as perform CPR if needed.
“Kathryn was amazing with my baby! She made sure to give me constant updates and sent lots of pictures that absolutely made my day. 10/10 Would hire her again. Thanks so much for all of your help!”
“Meg is just wonderful! During our meet and greet, it was very clear that she has a way with animals. She took care of our 5 cats and even happily accommodated their different food preferences. Everything she did (rinsing out food cans, for example) was done thoughtfully. I would recommend Meg without reservation!”

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.
