“Tiffany will love on and take care of your pets like her own! She’s down to earth, super experienced, and does a great job communicating with you while you’re out. Couldn’t ask for a better cat-sitter!”
“Alica was wonderful! She took very good care of our four cats and cockatiel. She arrived during their normal feeding times and always took the time to play with them. She was a very good communicator, always providing reports on the visit and a photo. We are first time Rover users and she made us feel very comfortable that our pets were being well cared for.”
“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”
“Min has been wonderful. She sent me both videos and pictures of her visit. Samson was happy. She continually asked questions so she can meet all of his needs. She even gave compliments on how my fur baby was behaved and well mannered. Just a very kind person. Definitely will use her again”
About: I've comfortably taken care of pets with special needs, from blind pets to needing daily medicine. I can care for puppies all the way up to senior pets. I love to go on walks and can handle any situation. I’m a Texas Tech student with lots of free time, and I love caring for animals. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily work around your preferred times, from early mornings to late nights. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. I follow the pet’s normal routine, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure food, water, and medications, if needed, are handled correctly. I always double check doors, gates, and crates to ensure pets stay secure and safe as well. As the saying goes, I always aim to leave things better than how I found them.
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.
“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!”
“We appreciate we found Kendyl so much!❤️ We love she has lived her entire life surrounded by animals since her dad is a vet.. That definitely gave us peace of mind when did the meet & greet as new pet owners. She is very patient and adjust depending on your needs.”
“Kym was wonderful! So thorough in getting to know our pup and with all the updates she’d provide us with every visit. She even offered to do additional tasks like put our trash cans out and water our indoor plants. The power went out due to a bad storm while we were away so she even navigated that with our pup and flipped our breakers, etc! We had never had anyone outside family/friends watch our high-maintenance weenie dog, so we were apprehensive to engage a service like Rover, but we were very satisfied with our experience and have already recommended Kym to our family members with dogs!”
“This was the second time we trusted our pets with Nichole. She was amazing again, her daily updates and photos are very detailed, she's always on time, and our dogs love her!”
“Sebnem was great! This was our first time having her take care of our cat, and she was fantastic. She was very communicative, sent lots of videos and pictures and left summaries for how she spent time with our cat. She left cat tv on for him so he wouldn’t feel lonely, which was very nice. She followed our instructions for feeding portions and for picking up and leaving our key! Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life and have 2 years of experience in the veterinary industry. I also am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have over 700 hours of practical experience. Taking care of your animals is my top priority and main focus. I am consistently available all summer long and am dedicated to giving your animals the care and attention they need.

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.
“Lindsey was absolutely amazing with our Cobalt. She took such great care of him and kept us in the loop during every visit. She is very kind and caring and we will be booking with her again!”
About: My dogs and I make a great team. We used Rover to find dog-sitters and are now ready to meet new dogs and go on adventures! Both of my dogs love walks, runs, car rides to the park and pretty much any adventure they have been taken on. They do love to meet new dogs and make friends. We regularly work on proper manners and would encourage any new dog that is met to have those same manners. I've worked with large dogs (think St. Bernard) to smaller dogs (think chihuahua). Friends regularly ask me to watch or walk their dogs when they need help and as long as I am available I can never say no. My favorite thing about dogs is that they love their people!

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.
