“Jo is awesome! She loved and cared for my 3 kitties like they were her own. She also went above and beyond to keep their litter, food, and water areas very clean and tidy. She sent pictures and photos each day while we were away was is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend Jo and will use her again!”
“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
“Maya was wonderful! Followed all instructions and really took time to care for our pup, would highly recommend her for dog sitting and will definitely have her come back to care for our dogs in the future!”
“Teena was a god send - giving me peace of mind that my fur babies were in good hands while I was in India. She sent lovely notes with pictures from each visit. They were in perfect health upon my return as if I'd never left! She played ball and gave them the attention they wanted - very happy with her services!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 102 pounds. I have taken care of sick dogs as well as large dogs that have trouble walking. I genuinely love and care for every dog I encounter. I have availability throughout the week from the morning to the afternoon (Mon-fri). I am happy to do up to 5 walks a day. I cannot work weekends. I’m very aware when opening a door to not let the dogs escape. I understand that some dogs don’t enjoy their crate and have learned tricks to getting them to enter. I keep a strong grip on the leash in case of a squirrel encounter.
“Danielle was wonderful taking care of our cats. She took time to know and to give attention to each of them. She is amazing, and we will definitely book with her again 😊”
“Beth is so wonderful with my cats. They are so happy when she comes! I really appreciate how reliable she is and completely trust her caring for them. I highly recommend Beth. Thank you!”
About: I have experience caring for a multiple different pets. I have been taking care of others pets and my own since I was 14 years old. This includes dogs, cats, and ferrets. I currently own a Miniature Pinscher. This has given me firsthand experience working with a dog that can be energetic, stubborn, and pretty challenging majority of the time. Because of this, I am especially comfortable caring for pets with unique personalities, behavioral problems, anxiety, or high energy levels. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have helped friends, family, and neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has different needs and routines, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s going on walks, providing companionship, administering basic care, or simply giving extra patience and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently a college student home for the summer taking online classes. I also work part-time as a server a few days a week, but my schedule is very flexible and I am willing to adjust it to accommodate your pet’s needs. This allows me to provide reliable care, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and ferrets, including pets with behavioral challenges or anxiety. If I’m caring for your pet in your home or during visits, I make sure to provide my full attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands.
About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.
“We were so happy with Jason! Our dogs absolutely love him, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He's reliable and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucy!! It was our first time using Rover and I’m very glad it went so well. Shannon took her for lots of long walks and kept me updated on Lucy’s eating and bathroom habits. Would definitely recommend her and book again!”
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
“Haven did drop in visits for us when we left for the hospital to have a baby. Penny was well cared for and happy as a clam when we returned, and Haven was super flexible with us as babies tend to come on their own timelines! Thanks so much Haven for your help!”
About: I love animals just as much as the next person, but I think it’s very important to keep your pets active and happy! I want to focus on healthy physical activities for your fur babies during my time with them in order to get some of that extra energy out! I currently have open availability for pet clients! I am new to the Chicagoland area, but have been offering my own pet care services in New Orleans for the past three years. I always like to respect my clients’ rules of the house, especially when the owners are not with the pet. I know animals require a lot of routine, and I try my best to keep all of their daily activities within that specific pets’ routine.

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.
