“Dawn is truly an angel. I cannot express how grateful I am for her care and support during an urgent medical emergency with my dog while I was out of town. She acted quickly, communicated clearly every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was safe, cared for, and seen by her vet promptly. She was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and calm under pressure — exactly the kind of person you hope to have supporting your pet in a stressful situation. Dawn didn’t hesitate to step in, rearrange her schedule, help with cleanup, and advocate for my dog’s well-being as if she were her own. I trust her completely and am deeply thankful for everything she did. I highly, highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and truly invested in the animals she looks after.”
“Nikki has helped us multiple times now, and every single experience has been exceptional. She takes such loving, attentive care of our cat that he is genuinely happy and relaxed when we return. This time we were away for a full month, and it was obvious that he was truly adored and spoiled with fun and special treats 🐱💛 It gives us complete peace of mind knowing Nikki is with him. She is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly does this from the heart. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for truly excellent pet care. ✨”
“Wonderful pet sitter for my two English Cream Golden Retrievers. They absolutely love David! He was very friendly and caring with our pets and also very kind and considerate. I would definitely hire David again.”
“Ilana did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was on time, followed all instructions, and communicated well. Before we left, she made sure to come by our house to meet the dog, take him for a walk, and really get to know him and our needs. While we were gone, we always knew what was happening as she communicated so effectively. She is the next best thing to having us home! 5 Stars - we will use Ilana again!”
“Daly was incredible. My family and I were out of country for 2 weeks on vacation. We had never left our dog with anyone before and we were very nervous about it. Daly is very sweet and confident around us and our dog. Our dog was 1year and very high energy at times, but Daly was un-phased by the challenge. She has a lot of experience around animals and it shows. Being on complete opposite times zones was challenging, but Daly sent video, photos, updates and questions along the way to make sure we were informed about our dog everyday. It was absolutely perfect. I have no concerns about recommending her to friends and family and she will definitely be our dog’s go-to caregiver in the future!”
About: I have dog/house sat for many clients. I also have a very energetic high maintenance dog of my own who needs lots of play time. Since I already have a dog of my own, pet care is part of my daily routine! Multiple walks, play time, and needs will be met. I have a yard for pets to run around in and have all day access to for potty breaks. My dog is friendly and loves to have a companion! I also have multiple rooms open for crates and other pet care items your pet needs! They can have their own room! I am also very active and can take your pet on long walks or even a run if needed!
“We are so grateful for Caroline and how much she loves and adores our babies! She is so reliable, and truly loves on our doggies so well! We will continue to use her for future!”
“Thank you for always making me feel so comfortable that Jax is taken care of no matter if it’s a check-in or a long trip. Thank you for always meeting him where he is where he wants to be playful that day or whether he’s made a mess in front of his box. I appreciate it all.”
“I have Ailen scheduled for recurring drop-in visits four days a week while I work 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly communicative, always punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate how much time and care she gives my dog, and she even takes a moment to say hi to my cats, which means a lot. She is professional, trustworthy, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.

“We could not be happier we found Camille to take care of our babies while we’re away. She cares for and loves them as if they are her own, which gives us great peace of mind when we need to leave them. We will absolutely be repeat customers again & again ❤️”
“Laura was great with our older Golden and was able to provide the extra care and meds he needed. We asked her to drop in and walk him as he was staying with my mother who was unable to do it. Laura was willing to help in any way she could during her 30 min drop in and was extremely helpful and flexible.”
About: Hi there! I have had years of experience with pets, as an owner and a foster mom for my local animal shelter. Personally, I have had 16 hamsters, 12 exotic fish, 7 turtles, 7 frogs, 5 Guinea pigs, 4 chicks, 4 cats and 1 bunny. I have pet-sat many animals before such as dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs, and I love animals with all my heart. I am very commasionate, hard worker and easy to communicate with.

Depending on the animal, size, etc I will draw certain boundaries in order to keep the animal safe (ie closing doors quickly to ensure cats don’t escape)

I cannot recommend Radhika enough! If you have high-anxiety or special-needs pets, she is the caregiver you are looking for. We were incredibly nervous to leave our two dogs and cat—particularly our Husky, who is a master escape artist—because they have special needs that require strict attention to detail and rigorous safety precautions to prevent them from getting loose. Between nearby busy roads and local wildlife, we needed someone who would take our concerns and instructions seriously. Radhika followed every single one of our complex directions perfectly and completely put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our pets were safe, happy, and meticulously cared for. We are so relieved and thrilled to have found such a reliable, conscientious caregiver, and we will absolutely be booking her again!
This was our second extended booking with Hannah, and once again she was great. She was so patient and understanding with my more challenging, aggressive cat while also giving my sweet, easygoing cat plenty of love and attention. It’s not easy finding someone who can confidently handle both, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also took great care of our home and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her, especially if you have a pet that needs a little extra patience or understanding.
We've trusted Nikki with our cat several times and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of him and sends the most amazing photos and videos, which make being away so much easier. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and feel very lucky to have found her.
Olivia saved us when we had another pet sitter cancel on us, mid-booking! She was flexible and was ok with me walking her through everything over the phone since we had already left town. She is very responsible and a great communicator, sending us lots of photos and updating us on how our pets were doing. She took excellent care of our pets and home, and we look forward to booking her for more pet care in the future!

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.
