“Kate did an excellent job of checking in and ensuring my senior and 10-month old cats were OK while I was away on a trip. Would definitely book her again and recommend her services.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of my dogs. Throughout college I had many roommates with cats and grew a love for them as well. Growing up I used to make treats for animal shelters and had a dream of being a vet. Since I’ve realized how much of a dedication vet school is, this seems like a fun way to incorporate my love for animals into something part time. :) I love cardio and am always down for a morning, afternoon, and even night runs. I love to go to scenic spots and enjoy being outside. I am in between jobs right now, so I have open availability for any pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and one 14 year old West Highland Terrier. She is extremely spoiled, but loves new friends. We love to play fetch and play in the yard. The extra baths are worth our fun times outside together lol.
“Brittany was very dependable and checked in on my cat every day. She also brought our packages inside when we were out of town. I definitely recommend booking for any of your pet sitting needs!! 😊”
“I didn't miss my cats as much as usual because I knew they were in great hands with Laine! Laine gave me thorough updates and handled an unexpected pet health emergency with ease!!!!!”
“Liz was a true godsend! I travelled out of state for a month & needed drop-in care for my 4 year old cat. Liz did a stellar job! She was extremely communicative on her visits, sent photos each day with status reports on Ashling's mood & general well being. Liz performed all requested tasks extraordinarily well. Additionally, her calm demeanor gave me great comfort during this new-to-me process of arranging for pet care via an app. I will 100% reach out to Liz the next time Ashling & I need Rover App services! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so I’m very familiar with all the ups and downs that come with pet care. On top of that, I have experience working as a veterinary assistant where I was in charge of boarding, walking, bathing, and cleaning after all types of animals! I currently work full-time Tuesday through Friday. However, I am completely free on those afternoons and from Friday afternoon through Monday. So if you need an afternoon dog walker or a sitter for a weekend get away, I’m the person for you! I am very open to caring for pets in the way that you would like me to. I’m comfortable with following a strict schedule or making one up for you! I assure that updates such as pictures, videos, and texts will come as often as requested.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Metairie Terrace
Mimi was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dogs and cats! She went above and beyond in keeping my informed. She also went out of her way to make my fearful dog feel safe - and they were best friends by the end of the sit! She also handled the medication for my senior dog twice daily. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in Mimi's care and I had total peace of mind the entire time. I will definitely book with her again, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
We had a wonderful experience with Mitchell. He proved to be completely dependable, going above and beyond what was asked of him. My dog adored him, and my typically skittish cat felt so safe that she let him pet her on the first day. Seeing how easily they both acclimated gave me total peace of mind. Thank you for the exceptional service! We will book him again.
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!
Liz was wonderful. We are first time Rover users and were very nervous to take a weekend trip and utilize the platform. We have 2 senior cats, one with a chronic condition requiring medicine administration and a little extra tlc. Liz’s communication from the start was great. She was professional, accommodating, and worked with our furbabies to make them feel comfortable. I’m really happy with her service, would highly recommend, and would book again!
I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.
I cannot express how grateful I am for Hannah! She came through for me at the very last minute and completely saved the day. From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and caring. She kept me updated the whole time even while overseas and I could tell she genuinely cared for my cat like her own. I truly appreciate her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!!

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.
