âI can't say enough good things about Anna! She arrived on time and jumped right in to playing with Louie. She took him for a walk, played with him in the yard, and gave him a much-needed rest time. I know these things because she sent me pictures when I was away. The house was clean when I got home, and my puppy was relaxed and happy! I would have Anna back in a heartbeat!â


âNina and Leo were wonderful. They took great care of our cat and had great communication with us. They gave us a detailed summary each day and also provided us with photo and video updates. We are so grateful that we found them.â


âJulia was so flexible with her schedule and truly seemed to care most about taking care of my dog. Itâs easy to know when you meet an animal lover, and Julia is for sure an animal lover!â

âDani did an absolutely amazing job with our kitten Maddy. She was so quick to respond to me when I was looking for someone to drop in and visit our cat during our out-of-town trip. We got a detailed report every day, along with a bunch of really sweet photos. Maddy can be a bit particular and uncomfortable around strangers, but it seems Dani was able to quickly get her to open up and play. It really meant a lot to us to know that our cat was being taken care of so well and diligently while we were out of town. Dani clearly loves animals and is fantastic at her job, I will definitely be calling her again the next time Maddy needs a buddy while weâre gone. Thanks again Dani!â

âRachel takes amazing care of our kitty Lilly, who has some high needs and is not the easiest cat to care for. She leaves us detailed notes each day and so many adorable pictures! I know Lilly is in good hands when we need to travel.â

About: I have been around and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! In the past I have worked at a pet care and boarding facility for over four years and I have four pets of my own. Constantly being around animals has taught me a lot and I am committed to continue learning . I am comfortable handling any breed of dog, energy levels , and size. Older dogs that might need medication are also no problem. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animals. My biggest goal is building trust with and your fur baby and providing the best care possible. I currently work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I am available when needed! I can also be very flexible on the weekends and can accept last minute bookings. When taking care of your baby my biggest goal is to gain their trust and do all the fun things you would normally do. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets and shower them with love. I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible, especially after 5pm I can accept more bookings.

âRachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !â

âWe had a wonderful experience working with Justine! We were nervous to leave our kitty at home for the first time but she immediately put our minds at ease. She proactively reached out for info ahead of time, was prompt for visits, sent us photos, and even offered to help with other things around the house while we were away. She was kind and patient with our shy kitty and followed the instructions we left. We'll definitely book Justine again when we need a Rover. Thank you, Justine!â

About: I have helped foster dogs for at least 5 years now. I understand that each dog may require their own individual needs and care, which is why I am open minded to trying different ways to look after each dog. I work a part-time job in retail. This means that I have a lot of open and free time to help look after peoples' dogs. In my home, I cared for my dog by trying to keep him entertained, showering him with affection, and taking him out on walks, and I make absolute sure that he is as healthy as can be.

About: I love animals and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I cared for my own cat for 18 years, so Iâm very comfortable with senior cats and understand the patience, attention, and gentle care they need. Iâve also pet sat for my neighborsâ cats and cared for a small senior dog while they were away. I know how important it is to follow routines, give medications if needed, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Iâm reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm companion, Iâll make sure they receive plenty of love and personalized care while youâre away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time each day to providing attentive care for pets. I enjoy starting my mornings with walks and check-ins, and Iâm available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each petâs routine is respected and that they receive the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special preferences. I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable and loved, whether they need an energetic play session, a relaxing cuddle, or simply a calm companion nearby. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away.
âIan is amazing! I feel so lucky to have found him and that he was available over Memorial Day weekend. He dropped in 2x a day to hang out with my kitty Butternut. Ian was great in keeping Butternut engaged and cared for. He sent pictures and videos everyday which were adorable. 5 stars all around!â

âI was nervous about finding a new person to watch out pets during travel, but Iâm so glad I found Octavia! We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a clean place - I will definitely ask Octavia to take care is the fur fam again.â

âYee Ping is great! She made our dogs happy and comfortable right away. They loved spending time with her and playing fetch in the yard. She even tailored her visit schedule to make sure they got to go out at good times.â

âGuilherme did a great job with our dogs! He was timely and provided a lovely update about his visit. Weâre very thankful he has been able to help when we need it!â

About: I have been around and cared for dogs my entire life. As a kid I used to sneak my dog Jack into my room at night after my parents went to bed cause at that time dogs werenât allowed in the house. I loved the warmth and cuddles and still do. I have been pet sitting for friends and family and truly enjoy having them. Interacting with all the different personalities. At my former employer that I worked at for more than 18 years, my boss always had a dog, So I had a dog M-F. I would help with their training as well especially since office dogs have to be well behaved and trained. I currently have a small 4 year old dog named Charlie. Charlie gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with senior and special needs dogs. I have experience in training dogs as well as helping anxious dogs settle in and build confidence. My schedule is flexible. I am available 7 days a week for walking, daycare, boarding, at home check-ins, vet and grooming visits. Emergency last minute care available as well as life happens and someone has to watch âRover :-) I am home all day. *Because demand is high on weekends, weekend stays that are less than 3 days in duration (Fri-Sun) will include a weekend surcharge of $40.00 (plus rover fees). Weekend daycare rates will also include a weekend surcharge. I provide a fun vacation experience for your fur baby. Whether your dog prefers to lounge on the couch, sun-bathe, chase balls, play outside with other dogs or have stimulating play, I will engage with your dog continuously and provide personalized care to meet their needs. I am dedicated to providing the proper care for my guests. From helping first-timers settle in and preparing special meals for finicky eaters to playing extra time ensuring everyone is comfortable in their beds at night. I will sleep about 15ft from them with my door open so I can hear any movement or noise and I monitor them from my living room camera as well. As a dog owner myself, I treat each guest as if they were my own. We will not go to dog parks for your pets safety but we may go on safe outings and morning walks. My home has a 7' fenced in front and back yard with grass and plants where they can play and run around. My living room is where my guests will sleep/rest/nap and play with toys or cuddle on the couch and where the magic kisses and belly rubs happen. I aways make it a point to take a little one-on-one time with each guest to give them hugs kisses and love without competing with others. I feed them one at a time in the enclosed kitchen to ensure safety.
âElle was so good with our cats! We had not left them for a long trip and she made us feel relaxed and confident leaving the gents in her care. PLUS we got delayed and she graciously let us rebook for the extra few days.â

Once again, Yifan was great with my cat Rhys! I appreciate her attention to detail and her thorough report cards! I enjoyed reading them each evening while away and seeing photos of Rhys. Thank you again Yifan for your thoughtful care of both Rhys and my place!

Rachel is amazing! She is really clued in to our catâs well being and quirky habits. Her daily reports (including things she notices that are non-pet related, like houseplant watering needs) and attention to detail make us feel completely at ease while we are gone. Sheâs the absolute best!!!
We appreciated Victoriaâs regular communication and flexibility in adjusting the feeding schedule to the catsâ regular, early routine. Good to see from all the photos that the cats were thriving while we were away. A great and low stress experience. Thanks!

Jess is awesome! Incredibly attentive, responsive and caring. My kitty is older and needs lots of affection- he didnât even seem to notice I was gone with Jess coming to care for him. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you Jess for being such a wonderful cat sitter for Carl!

Savanna was once again very responsive and wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and problem solver. It was so great of her to take care of ants that threatened my catâs food access while I was away. Iâm so grateful to have had someone trusted like Savanna look after Maxine.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
