“Kal has been a dream come true—I cannot praise her highly enough. My cats are very shy and can be anxious when I’m not around. Kal went above and beyond to meet them at their comfort level and help them feel secure. For the first time in their five years of life, they actually came out to interact with a sitter. That’s the kind of energy Kal has. From booking through sitting, she has been extremely thorough, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. I feel so much better knowing that my boys have her to hang out with while I’m away. Your pets new favorite spare human indeed! Thank you so much Kal ❤️🐾”
About: 10 years ago I worked at wagmore dogs and since I’ve taken my skills to my community and taken care of family and friends pets when they went out of town or when they simply did overtime at work I only work my full time 3/4 days a week and it gives me ample time to take care of pets.mid week and weekend availability I can easily crate your dog if needed but I typically clean up after every little thing your fur babies do. I’m a parent and had fur babies of my own so I understand how important caring and attentiveness is
About: I am a therapist full time and I grew up with a labradoodle (he’s 13 and thriving!) I have two cats of my own as well. Growing up throughout high school, I was a dog sitter and dog walker for neighbors and family friends. I have so much love for animals and experience in senior dog care, post-surgery care, and all sorts of cat care :) I also have watched bunnies!! I work full time as a therapist but full time looks different as a therapist, I work about 25 hours a week so I have lots of time to drop by and check on your animal(s) or take ‘em out for a walk! I approach every animal with love and respect for their boundaries! I am a huge animal lover and my empathy I would say is my strong suit for both my full time job and this one :)
About: I’ve had pets and dogs in my family since I was 12. My neighbors growing up always trusted me to dog sit or walk their dogs while they managed their busy schedules. I’ve helped friends and classmates with their pets in my free time during grad school while they traveled or needed to study for exams. I love walking so why not take a furry friend with me! I’m currently working from home and doing freelance work so I have a lot of free time. My schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around your schedule! I will primarily be walking your dog in parks, trails, and neighborhoods with sidewalks to ensure safety. If you have a yard available, even better!
“Julie is great with our large dog. She befriended him quickly and he enjoys being with her. She's very observant of his behaviors and notifies us if she sees anything out of place. She's timely and sends great updates and photos.”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahua to Great Dane and Great Pyrenees (multiple at a time), over the last fifteen years. I've cared for my rescue pup Dumpling on my own for the last five, and have helped to rehab her into the lovebug she is today. I like talking multiple walks per day, will give your fur baby lots of love and attention, and I work from home so they will always have a watchful over them. I understand how much pet owners love and cherish their babies, so I will treat them like they're my own while I have them. I work remotely full time and can be fairly flexible if needed. I walk my own dog four times a day, and she loves having walk buddies, so we'd of course take your pet along. On the weekends, I like going for extra long walks, so if that's something that your pet enjoys, they'll have a great time with me. I live in an apartment downtown, so I don't have a fenced area, but I let pets have free reign in my apartment. There are also two dog parks within walking distance, so for extra and off-leash play time, we can spend lots of time there.
About: I have always been an animal person, and have been a regular dogsitter and catsitter for friends and family for over 10 years. I love caring for all types of critters, from little balls of energy to to more mellow senior animals, and will try my best not to spoil yours too much (depending on how quickly they steal my heart.) I specialize in enrichment activities, such as walks and play sessions, but will also enjoy just hanging out with your little buddy in any capacity. I'm currently off of school for the summer, so I have lots of available time in the day to care for your animals! I am generally available any day of the week between 8 AM and 10 PM, except for Sunday, when I am not available until 11 AM. (6-8 AM is also a possibility if necessary.) I always make sure to respect my clients' homes and keep their belongings safe from rowdy playing. I will always be sure to read your instructions for entry carefully, and I am good at cleaning up a mess if there is one made.
“Kathleen was terrific with Miles, appreciatively followed all instructions and was very communicative. Looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“Tanner took such great care of my cats! I My cats were very anxious since we just moved into a new place and Tanner was very patient and caring considering that they were very anxious. I will definitely boom Tanner again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs, from puppies to a 15 year old coonhound with three legs. No matter the case, I provide top tier care and ensure excellent communication with pet parents. I work an events jobs with short shifts that don’t require me to be away for more than a few hours, allowing ample time for morning, afternoon, and evening care. Happy to provide long or short term care! I am happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine and will do whatever is needed to make them comfortable. I am very comfortable administering medication/ making meals if your pet has a special diet, going on long walks, playing with their favorite toy, and will make sure to meet their needs!
“Vita was very professional and courteous. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of. Would 100% recommend for a home visit, especially for dogs that require a little extra care and attention.”
“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Ned is fantastic and our normally quite cautious cats warmed to him very quickly. He took his time to make them feel safe. He documented every visit in great detail and we were glad to know they were in good hands while we were away. Ned even let them out on a leash. Could not be happier or more grateful!
Jasmine is so fabulous! She is extremely smart, so she was thoughtful about how to introduce our dog to another dog she was taking care of (which worked out great). She loves animals and our Tucker really enjoyed staying with her! We appreciated the videos and photos. Jasmine was easy to work with, easy to connect to, and an overall kind and wonderful dog sitter! We look forward to seeing her again, and we know Tucker will too!

Kimberly is absolutely wonderful! Both of my cats loved her! One of my cats is typically skittish and hides from new people, but you would have never known that with Kimberly because he warmed right up to her and even let her pet him which speaks volumes about how comfortable she makes animals feel. She did a great job at caring for my cats and giving my diabetic cat his insulin shots. I loved that she gave thorough updates and great pictures. I highly recommend booking with her!
Alina was the perfect sitter for our cats, Chi and Goldie! From the very first meet-and-greet, she was warm, communicative, and clearly a genuine animal lover. Every visit came with a thoughtful update and photos, so we never had to wonder how the girls were doing while we were away. She was patient with a shy kitty and always made time to really play with both cats, not just do a quick check-in. It’s obvious how much Alina cares about the animals they look after and she is very knowledgeable, communicative, and adaptable which we appreciated so much while on a long trip. Can’t recommend Alina highly enough!
Kyra did a fantastic job watching my three meow meows while I was traveling. I have battery operated food bowls (long story) and she even replaced them when needed! (Of course I forgot to leave replacements, so above and beyond to replace them.) Would definitely hire again.
Gabrielle was great, no complaints. She was always on time and able to provide company to my newer, shy-at-first cat. She clearly has experience with cats, and was easy to work with, responsive, and updated me on her visits. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
Bito did a fantastic job watching my two cats, showing incredible patience with both the shy one and the feisty one. Bito was highly reliable, kept the cats' area clean, and maintained excellent communication the entire time. Bito is a top-tier sitter, and I would absolutely book their services again.
Isabel took great care of our cat Stanley! She was very communicative and sent great pictures of their playtime and cuddles. She even watered some of our plants and gave us updates about how our house was faring during the heatwave which put our minds at ease while we were out of town.

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.
