“Julia was amazing! She responded promptly to the drop-in visit request and set up a "meet & greet" ahead of our first booking. She followed detailed instructions to maintain my cat's routine and sent updates and pictures every day. Moreover, she gave my sweet, but shy, cat extra attention and affection. My cat took to Julia right away and even sat with her and kneaded on her lap! We found our new sitter - thank you Julia!”

About: I have been surrounded by a plethora of animals since I was a child. Growing up with 14+ animals of all types (furry to feathered to scaled), I have cared for many types and am very comfortable around all animals. I have experience with all ages of animals from bottle feeding to administering geriatric animals medications. I am also dedicated to ensuring that your pets care and routines are top priority. I can cater my care to your pets needs/activity levels and adjust accordingly! I currently work full time but have a flexible/changing schedule. I have the ability to fit your pets needs within my schedule so that your pets are a priority. You can feel safe with your pets in my hands as I will treat my time with them as if they were my own! I always respect my clients homes and pets as if they were my own. I am always more than willing to clean up after your furry friends if there is ever any need and am committed to communicating thoroughly with you. I have experience caring for a multitude of animals and am willing to support in any way I can to ensure you can stay stress-free while out!

“It is always a pleasure to have Jessica take care of our dog! He's sweet but can be anxious and timid, and he always seems to enjoy his time with Jessica. She's done a few house-sitting and drop-in visits over the past few months, and Jessica has always been friendly, communicative, responsible, and paid attention to details. She's even written us a personal thank-you note (though it should be us thanking her for taking such good care of Sonic and the house). I highly recommend Jessica!!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning on weekdays and weekends. I also offer overnight stays, giving your cat extra comfort, companionship, and a steady routine while you’re away. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and always aim to keep things stress-free and consistent. I prioritize safety by paying close attention to details like secure doors, proper feeding instructions, and clean litter areas. I carefully follow any care guidelines you provide and keep a watchful eye for changes in behavior or health. My goal is to make sure your cat is always safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hello, my name is Jesenia and I have over two years of experience volunteering at an animal rescue. I take animal enrichment seriously and love to keep your pets feeling fulfilled. I have late night and early morning availability. Please message me so we can meet and see if we make a good match! My schedule changes due to nursing school and my work schedule, but I keep my rover calendar up to date with obligations so my rover calendar is accurate. To me, enrichment time is so important for both cats and dogs. I believe in using toys, treats, and physical activity as means to keep your pets lives enriching, entertaining, and healthy. I am very tidy and respectful of other people’s space. I believe you should respect everyone’s environment as if it was your own. Overall, I just want to give the best possible care to your pets.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion and my profession for over 10 years. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics, animal shelters, humane societies, wildlife sanctuaries, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Outside of animal care, I’m also a Certified Flight Instructor. Aviation has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, attention to detail, and staying calm under pressure, positive qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Whether I’m ensuring a safe flight or looking after your four legged family member, safety and reliability always come first. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that need a little extra patience or special attention. I have experience administering oral medications, recognizing when something isn’t quite right, and creating a calm, stress free environment. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust. My goal is to make that decision easy by treating every pet like they’re my own. I’ll provide plenty of love, exercise, enrichment, and personalized care, along with regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My day to day job is a local pilot - Certified Flight Instructor but I work a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a quick check in, medication, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll work with you to create a schedule that best fits their needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages after every visit. Pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary clinics, shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, and professional pet care, I’m trained to recognize changes in behavior and signs of illness or stress. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own, carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced hands.

About: Hi, I’m Lynnette! I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m dependable, caring, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! ❤️🐾 I’m currently on leave, so I’m home full-time and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to accept last-minute walks when available. I do care for other pets as well, but I carefully space out my schedule to make sure every visit is on time and each pet gets the attention they deserve. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including cleaning litter boxes. For boarding and sitting, I only care for pets from the same household at the same time to help provide a calmer, safer environment for your babies. I have a large home with plenty of room to run and play, plus a fully enclosed brick backyard for safe outdoor time. We live in a gated community in a nice, safe area of Mesa, so your pets will be comfortable, secure, and well cared for while they’re with us.

About: He there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats—no favoritism here (okay, maybe just a little for the fluffiest one in the room). I’ve spent time working professionally and volunteering at a stray dog shelter, where I learned that every pet has a unique story—and I’ve loved earning their trust, one tail wag or purr at a time. I’m known for my loving, patient demeanor and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s quirks. Whether your pup needs a jogging buddy, your shy kitty needs a gentle hand, or you’ve got a pet with a bit of a diva streak, I’m up for the challenge. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own—with belly rubs, cuddles, and just the right amount of silly voices. Looking forward to meeting your best friend soon! I work full time 8–4, Monday—Friday. I’m a morning person, so caring for your pet with walks/jogs and bully rubs will come before and after my work day. My weekends are typically open, with plenty of time for extended drop-ins 😊 I’m happy to follow any schedule for your pet that you outline for us to ensure your pets needs are more than met and their routines are maintained. Not to get too serious, but if you are booking with me for house sitting, it is an expectation of mine that you disclose any indoor cameras. Everyone has the ones outside these days, so no worries there. But, discovering one inside is *creepy* and I hope you understand.

“Kelly has been a really great cat sitter. She is very reliable, observant and sends daily photos. She sends me notes to keep me updated, and has gone above and beyond by clipping one cat’s ingrown nails. She’s been monitoring my other cat who has had medical issues. I feel so relieved she is available to help me with my cats.”

“Although Torrie was a little early, which is usually a good thing, but in this case i probably timed the visit incorrectly and should have had her come later.. She took my dog for a quick walk (which is all he would do) and then stayed and petted him for the remainder of her time. Also sent a photo. I would use Torrie again.”

I highly recommend Kylan as a pet sitter! She did an absolutely wonderful job. She listened carefully to all my requests and followed my instructions perfectly. My pet is quite timid, but Kylan was incredibly patient and gave him plenty of time to adjust and feel comfortable at his own pace. On top of that, communication was fantastic-she kept me updated and was always easy to reach. I couldn't be happier!

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

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 , 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.
