“Lindsay is a great pet sitter. She sent us many pictures and gave detailed updates when we were on a long overseas vacation. We appreciated her attention to detail when we were traveling. We will definitely book Lindsey again!”
About: Over the years, I’ve been trusted to stay overnight at the homes of neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages (ex. Puppies, very high energy dogs, senior dogs, and those who are a little stubborn or reactive). I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, long walks, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I have a flexible work schedule and can give walks in the morning and/or afternoon and evening. I’m happy to work with any size or breed. I’m flexible, reliable, and always willing to adapt to the needs and schedule of both you and your pet! I currently work remotely, Monday–Friday. This means I’m able to stay home with your pet during weekdays (or provide walks/drop ins at any time), and I’m fully available on weekends. Im happy to provide bathroom breaks, walks, or overnight stays with your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their dog feels comfortable and safe. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“This was our 2nd time booking Sarah to watch our two kitties. She’s absolutely amazing with them. She’s always on time, sends lots of cute photos and videos and I can tell my cats love their time with her! I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”
“Jade is awesome! She checked in and gave updates throughout her stay with Cleo and also sent photos. It's obvious how much she loves animals, and I can't wait to book her again soon!”
“Helen was GREAT! She took wonderful care of our kitties and was so great as we are still in the middle of introducing the two! She sent so many photos and made us feel very connected to them while we were away!:)”
“Melissa was sooo great with our babies!! One of our cats has been sick for some time, and Melissa was great about monitoring his symptoms, providing updates, and caring for him the way he needed to be. She left our home spotless, sent consistent updates and pictures of both of our cats, and was overall fabulous!!! We absolutely will be booking her in the future.”
About: As a proud pet parent to both a dog and a cat, I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members! I have hands-on experience with daily pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a little shy, or just loves cuddles, I’m happy to adjust my care to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details that make a difference. I’ll treat your pets like my own and provide plenty of updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in great hands! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! As a dog and cat owner, I’m used to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I work full-time, but I’ll soon be working from home three days a week and in the office only two days (I work for a painting company and well, you can’t paint during the winter), which gives me plenty of flexibility to incorporate pet care into my routine! I’m also available during evenings and weekends. I love spending time with animals and getting outside for walks, so caring for additional furry friends fits naturally into my lifestyle. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular routines and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I adjust my care to fit their individual needs, whether that means lots of exercise and attention or a little extra patience and reassurance.
“Michelle was so lovely and I felt like Crash was truly left in wonderful hands. She did amazing with updating me and just keeping me in the loop as well as doing everything in my google.doc to ensure Crash needs were met. Crash felt really safe and seemed to really enjoy her company. I know the next time I go on a trip, i will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Meredith was incredibly thoughtful and reliable! I was so thankful for the detailed daily updates when I was gone for the week, and my cat seemed to truly love her!”
“Julia was wonderful! She left detailed notes on everything and was a huge help. Trustworthy, reliable, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. I'm already looking forward to booking her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I've taken care of many different types of animals throughout the course of my life. I have more formally done pet sitting in the last 4 years. I have a good understanding of animals and would be a great choice for your pet. I currently work 8:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I am comfortable driving throughout the metro. I'm available most weekday evenings. I'm available most weekends. I am respectful of animals. I have also cared for pets with complex medical needs. I have a great compassion for animals and those who care for them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mendota Heights
Wren was SO amazing with our animals and went above and beyond. We were away from home for the first time in a long time and they made sure our 3 pets were cared for and got lots of love, it made it so much easier on them. Super responsive, and would absolutely book again! :) thank you so much!
This was our second time hiring Amelia to watch Mr Bubs. It went completely smoothly, everything was perfect. Mr Bubs was well taken care of and Amelia was friendly, professional, and respectful of our home. We got daily updates with pictures. Definitely going to hire Amelia again!
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.
Amy checked on our kitties routinely while we were out of town for three weeks. We arrived home to find that they had been well-cared for: plenty of food and water, and clean litter-boxes. We would definitely engage her again in the future, and recommend her to others.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
