“Alondra took wonderful care of my two dogs and bunny while we were away. She was always punctual with her check-ins, made sure the dogs got outside to use the bathroom each visit, and kept us updated along the way. It was clear that all of our pets loved her and were comfortable in her care. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book Alondra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have had cats for 10 years, walked my friends dogs and babysat them, cared for birds and fishes, I love animals of all kinds! I currently work an afternoon to evening job so I have time in the mornings and early afternoons! I also enjoy exercise so its a good way to get walks in for me! I currently do not offer services in my own home, but animals are family members to me. That means dignity should be taken account for, how they are treated, trust and safety is a huge compliment to me, so I find it very important that they feel loved and safe.
“Ysela took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She was available for a last min weekend trip. She was incredibly responsive and took notes on how to care for our cat. We were updated on each visit with photos and feedback on our pet’s behavior and demeanor. We will absolutely have her take care of our cat again.”
About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.
“Christina was amazing always on time went above and beyond very trustworthy. I will use her over and over and over again without a doubt. I also like the fact that she always kept me up-to-date as to what was going on took wonderful pictures and really put my mind at ease while we were away. I cannot say enough good things about her.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and even a pet chicken! Today, I’m the proud pet mom of two dogs (Poppy, a sweet pit-hound mix, and Banks, a goofy Great Pyrenees pup) and one curious cat named Sterling. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to feel your fur baby is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of playtime or snuggles (depending on their vibe!). Whether your pet needs structured care, a calm companion, or just someone who gets how much they mean to you, I’m here to help. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, or just a cozy companion nearby, I’ll be there — basically at their beck and call! I have a temporary fenced yard enclosed with galvanized steel fencing — it safely contains my two pups during supervised outdoor time. I never leave any dogs outside unsupervised. If you’d prefer your dog stays leashed, I’m more than happy to accommodate that! Inside, my home is set up in a way that allows me to separate your pet from mine if needed, to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
“Alissa was fantastic with my two dogs. One of my dogs requires insulin and she was able to administer it without a problem. Felt very confident that they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Elizabeth is the true “cat whisperer”! My cat only comes out for her the pictures she sends along displays a very happy and well looked after cat…who is living her best life. Thank you Elizabeth!!”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner, having been raised surrounded by animals. That being said, I always helped to take care of our pets since I was a young kid. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them. I am athletic so I am great at keeping up with even the most energetic pets! I would love to be of service to anyone who may need me. I have also petsit and dogwalked for others privately for pay before this, so I have proper experience as well beyond my personal life. I work from home and varying hours between 3-8 pm on Mon-Fri (Usually only 2-4 hours in the studio at a time), so I have plenty of free time for care! I have experience with free-roaming pets of all kinds, as well as cage-training and homes with limited areas the animal is meant to stay in, so I have no trouble remembering these things. I can send regular updates if requested, including photos!
About: Taken care of my own cats for 6 years. Work at a shelter caring for different breeds of cats. Attentive to the needs of cats. Daytime hours are best and weekend hours are available. Many flexbile time slots throughout the day, especially if short blocks of time are also needed. I follow all directions from clients, very cognizant of locating any potential dangers to safeguard the animal. Punctual with time sensitive activities and needs of the animals.

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.

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 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.
