“Ashley is amazing! Booked her to check-in on our four cats and we received so many pictures and great updates. Loved to photoshoots! I could also tell our shy cat warmed up to her immediately. Will book Ashley for pet care again!”
“Zoila is truly amazing! She came over the week before our trip to meet the cats and learn all the in and outs of taking care of them. We had a kitten and she required a lot of special care and Zoila had no problems managing it. She is super responsive and sends frequent updates. I felt so comfortable with my cats in her care. We will most definitely being using Zoila again!”
About: I worked in an animal daycare and also volunteer at animal shelters. I know how to clean and take care of all sorts and sizes of animals. I also know how to care and love them. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. With a couple days’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and overnight care. I am happy to work with each pet’s normal routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I am patient and allow them time to become comfortable with me. I will give your pets plenty of attention, love, and care while keeping you updated during your time away.
“Lindsey was everything we could hope for in a sitter for our first time using one. Peanut was not ready for boarding. He is slow to warm up. She was extra patient with him and spent extra time the 1st day. He was warming up much better each day. He had a couple of accidents and she helped clean it up. She did not have to be as caring as she was, but we are most grateful and will continue to call on her. Thank you for everything Lindsey! We could tell Peanut really appreciated your visits.”
“Sabnem went above and beyond while I was gone for my work trip. She took care of all my kitties needs & event sent me photos/videos. My cat is super shy, but I was shocked that he did not hide and he welcomed her. Lastly, Sabnem clipped my kitty’s nails since I physically can’t due to my hand condition. I will definitely always come to you for my future trips. Thanks!!”
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, etc. my entire life, I’d like to say that I have my whole life’s worth of experience with pets, being that I have had them since before I could walk:)) I’m currently going to community college part-time, usually based in the mornings but can change. Other than school I am always free to do the job!! I will give your pets plenty of love and cuddles while also adapting to their daily needs and activities. I can even brush your dogs’ teeth if you’d like.
About: I've walked and taken care of dogs for my neighbors since I was 12, including senior dogs with special medication and care needs. I am comfortable with homes with multiple pets and pets of all sizes. I have a dog myself and am familiar with dog care. I also have experience in taking care of cats. My summer is mostly open, although I will be on vacation in August. For the time that I will be taking bookings, I will be available for your pets at any time as I do not currently have any other obligations, though I do hope to start working part-time in addition. I care for pets by ensuring that any of their needs are met, including emotional needs which I provide by ensuring they feel comfortable and keeping them company. I am great at playing with animals and completely open to specific care instructions for things like feeding, medication, or walking.
“Nicole did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats while we were away. She was super thorough with her care and reports, and so attentive to my extra-needy guy. My shy guy even warmed up to her. I would not hesitate to book Nicole again.”
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, birds, hamsters, rabbits and even ducks. Besides the family pets, I had my own dog since he was 4 months and passed at 13 years, my own cat who was the feral barn cat turned domesticated & living with me until she passed at about 14 years and my own horse I had since I was 10 until he passed at almost 39 years old. I have been around all kinds of breeds and ages of dogs, all sizes, and even volunteered at a wolf sanctuary when I lived in NH. Animals are my love and passion. I work from home so I can be available anytime and be home with your fur babies all day. My schedule is flexible so I am readily available anytime. I know each pet is uniquely individual and you know your fur babies best. I follow all instructions explicitly as you set them and give daily updates with pictures. I know how hard it is leaving your pets home while you travel.
“Nithimas was an amazing pet sitter for our cat Rocky (our baby boy)! She made sure he was fed, ate, clean water and litter. And best of all she played with him, which meant a lot to us because he never felt alone. Thank you so much!! We will definitely request you again when we go on vacation. ❤️ Olga and Brandon”
About: Hi! I’m Jamie, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up with my beloved red heeler mix, Jake, who was part of my family from my childhood well into my adult life and taught me just how special the bond between people and their pets can be. As an adult, I’ve been a proud parent to four cats and currently share my home with my tuxedo twins, Finn and Ferb. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I also regularly help friends by caring for their dogs and cats while they’re out of town or whenever they need an extra hand. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to earn their trust and care for them the way you would. Whether your pet loves to play, enjoys leisurely walks, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone dependable to stick to their routine, I’m happy to provide patient, attentive, and loving care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a full time career during the week, working Monday through Friday, but I get off work early every Friday at noon. Monday through Thursdays, I will only be available in the evenings but I can be available at any time Friday afternoon through Sunday! I care for every pet as if they were my own, with safety, patience, and consistency as my top priorities. I know pets feel most comfortable when they can stick to their normal routines, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. For cats, I provide indoor-only care. Even if a cat is normally allowed outside, I don’t let cats outdoors while their owners are away because I want to minimize any risk of them getting lost or injured. For dogs, I’m happy to follow the routine that works best for your pet, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, or crate time. My goal is to keep their day as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I had a childhood dog named Shelby, she was a cockapoo. We currently have a doodle named Luka. I have had my two guinea pigs, Milo and Max for 4-5 years now. I have also had a pet hamster, Dash, before for about a year. I also raised three kittens and had a momma cat before. I’m working full time Friday-Tuesday, and i have full availability Wednesday & Thursday. I’m more than happy to do overnight stays, dog walks and playtime, etc! I will make sure your furry child gets lots of love and attention! I love animals of all kinds, and am so excited at this opportunity to work with animals!

About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life, they’ve always been a big part of my world. Because of that, caring for animals feels very natural to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and genuinely caring. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and keeping a structured schedule. I’m used to organizing my day around responsibilities, so things like walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are easy for me to stay consistent with. I genuinely like being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a task it’s something I actually enjoy. My routine and flexibility allow me to give pets the attention, patience, and care they need throughout the day. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I try to adjust my approach to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure both the pets and their owners feel happy and stress-free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
Sophia was super nice and easy to communicate with, due to last minute changes of plans I was unable to schedule a visit with her before I met (though she did offer). I sent her some details about how to navigate getting to the residence and care instructions for my cat and she took great care of her and sent me lots of photos. Would recommend scheduling her in the future for myself and others.
Zoila took on our cat sitting booking on fairly short notice and it went perfectly! She was a great communicator and made sure to clarify any questions she had about the cat's feeding schedule. We also had a few random mishaps around the apartment that she very kindly handled for us so we weren't stressed out about it while we were out of town . I would highly recommend her!
Izzy was incredible! She went above and beyond. This was the first time using rover and couldn’t be happier. Having a senior kitty who needs medicine is always nerve wracking but she handled it so well. All the updates made a difference and I would recommend her to anyone.

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.
