“Ashley is so sweet and kind and took great care with my baby Rico. She came daily on schedule to feed water and play with Rico. She took care of his litter box and hung out with him. She sent me great pictures and Rico looked very happy. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone that has a fur baby. She even left a very thoughtful note and treats to welcome me home!! A+++. Loved her!! Thank you Ashley💖”
“Min was great!!! She sent us updates everyday and took a lot of pictures. She also put the mail and packages in our house, which we hadn't even asked her to do. She also went above and beyond regarding our cats. We just asked her to make sure they had food, but she scooped out the litter boxes and swept the floor too. Our dogs were very comfortable with her - we could tell by the photos she sent. We are extremely happy with Min and will want to use her again in the future!”
“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.”
“Madison did a amazing job with our dogs, she always on time and the dogs love her. We will book another session with her on the near future. If you looking a new pets sitter Madison is the best!!”

I offer dog sittings and willing to stay overnight (if needed). Your dog will not be left alone for more than 3 hours. I provide regular updates and follow instructions.
“Marissa is our go to cat sitter! Rover was intimidating with all the “dog people…” I wasn’t sure if we’d find someone happy to watch our cats! But, Marissa clearly cares for them. She takes the time not just to feed them and check on them but pet and play with them which gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend!”
“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: My family and I have always cared for animals. I’ve raised cats, dogs, and bunnies who all lived in home. I’ve fostered shelter dogs and found homes for them. I’ve trained puppies on simple commands and leash walking. I have very open and flexible availability. Monday: Open availability Tuesday: Open availability Wednesday: Available before 12pm Thursday: Available after 6pm Friday: Available after 6pm Saturday: Available before 12pm I am an early bird and I also end my day late. I communicate exceptionally well with many photos. I plan on doing more in home visits/ walks for pets instead of in my home. Special cases I can watch in my home, I have a cozy house with a large yard in the suburbs near schools with a lot of parks and trails. I have my own vehicle and am happy to drive.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life never have I ever had a house without animals, they are just apart of my world. My grandma has a huge heart for animals just like me and she taught me everything to care for a fur baby. I can even say sometimes I my fur babies more than my boyfriend haha!! I’m currently working part time but I only usually work in the mornings and get off at 2pm so I would have a lot time to care for the fur babies. Make sure they are all cleaned up and nothing around the house that can cause them harm. They definitely will get all my love and affection. I will definitely regulate not letting them out my site and when taking them on walks make sure that lease is secure cause I have some big dogs and jeez they be pulling haha but good thang I get a nice strong lease.
“Calvin and his wife were absolutely fantastic. They took excellent care of my little fur baby for four days. I’ll definitely be using their services again, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care.”
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.
“Nicole was awesome to work with! She left detailed notes in the pet updates and was always on time with visits. A great communicator and someone we'll definitely use again in the future!”
About: I’m a dog mom and know how important an attentive and loving dog sitter is. I’d love to help you take care of your pets! My children are grown and I have a flexible schedule. I would love care for your pets, just let me know their schedule and I can accommodate. I’m a true dog mom. My dogs are quite spoiled and well-loved! I provide a safe, patient, calm, and loving environment while you’re away.
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.
“Amanda was excellent! I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was excellent with her pups and very good at communicating updates and information to us while we were out of town.”

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.

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.
