“Annaliese dropped in to take care of my kitty for 3 days and was wonderful! She took time to hang out for a bit and interact with my cat and sent me several pictures each day. She went at the time we had discussed each day and it was so nice to know my cat was being cared for and I didn't need to worry. I would definitely rebook with her again and recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
“My dogs can be a bit spoiled and they were SO happy here 😅 Our sitter was patient, attentive, and treated them like family. I felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, this is it!”
“I loved the several pictures and the last minute availability. Benji is my child in dog form and it felt safe and comfortable. She did not feel like a stranger and I’m very happy with the drop in service I got. Will 100% have her over again!”
“The cats seemed happier and less stressed this trip. Appreciated extra help with bringing in a package and garbage can without being asked. She sent pictures of all 3 kittys in some of their favorite but hard to find hiding places, even under our bed. Instead of leaving the keys under the front door mat where someone might find them before we got home, she messaged me she'll drop them off when we're home. I would highly recommend Kylee if you're looking for someone who gives the best pet care but who also cares about things not necessarily expected of her.”
“Elizabeth is amazing and have so much patience. Thank you for providing us with her recommendation. We are very fortunate. Shedid everything in her power to accommodate and make the separation easier. She so full of understanding and was very concern about Maximus’ welfare If you need a sitter she is you person!”
“Kate was great with our pups! This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable with her. She was easy to get ahold of, replied quickly, lefts us wonderful updates and photos of our dogs! Very trustworthy and will be using again in the future! ❤️”
“Bryan and Ginger were an absolute blessing. They took such amazing care of our baby, Nancy. I was told everyday how she was doing and what they did and got multiple photos of my girl. Nancy was always happy in all the photos and in perfect heath upon my return. We will without a doubt be booking with them again and highly recommend them to those with animal care needs. Thank you both so very much.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Stephanie! She's been watching our pup for about 9 months now and it's such a comforting feeling knowing that while you're out that someone so sweet and reliable is hanging out with your best bud. I would 100% recommend her. She is a gem! And... she takes some pretty awesome photos of your baby too ?”
About: I started taking care of livestock at age 9. I have been a volunteer with the Arizona Border Collie Rescue since 2022 ,I foster and transport. I have 3 Border Collies , 2 of them are rescues. One of my BC has epilepsy so I have 7 years experience with this disease. Senior dogs are my favorite but I love them all. My dogs are my world their needs always come first . I would love to meet you and your pet(s) , I can come play , take them for a walk, just drop in to give meds or meet any of their other needs. I also have a lifetime of livestock experience. I work part time and have reliable transportation , so I have plenty of flexibility. My epileptic dog gets her pills at 6am and 6 pm , all other times I’m available. First I would like to meet you and your pet(s) so we can get to know each other. I treat all animals just like my own. I can provide references from the rescue and neighbors if requested.
“Lauren is the best! She took great care of our kitties, checked in with lots of cute pictures every day, and made us feel that our babies were in really great hands. We can only recommend her!”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my fur babies. They warmed up to her immediately. I definitely will hire Megan again. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much.”
“Saige did a wonderful job watching my babies! She brought my packages inside that were delivered while I was away, took my garbage out, and generally just went above and beyond. I will definitely book with her again and am so grateful to have had such a sweet trustworthy sitter. I recommend her highly.”
“Kristina is first rate! She listened to our pups needs and went over and beyond to show them love. She played with them, shared a photo, and gave them extra care during her visit. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had pets since I was five - birds, dogs, and hamsters, oh my! I was 14 when I started pet sitting and got my first cat (on my own) at 19. I now have four cats and two dogs that I love dearly 💖 I also have experience working at a doggy day care where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Playful or snuggly, wigglebutt or leaner, chaos incarnate or zen - I loved every dog that came into that daycare! I have cared for senior cats and dogs as well as puppies and kittens. I'm the one at parties sitting on the floor snuggling the dog; the one who spends new year's and 4th of July singing to her anxious fur babies to drown out the fireworks; and the one who will have full conversations with any dog or cat that will listen! TLDR I LOVE all animals and would love to take care of your fur baby as if they were my own 💖 I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule, and can work around your/your pet's schedule! I can be available for quick drop ins or longer hang outs if your pets are very needy (like mine) 😊 I also can have doggos hang out at my house in the afternoon/evening Tuesday-Saturday if that is preferred! Since I WFH they will have constant supervision. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for zoomies, and two high enery dogs to keep your pup company! I have cats, but they are in a separate area of the house that the dogs don't have access to. When at your home, I make sure to adapt to your pet's environment and make them as comfortable with me as possible. I let them come to me and watch/listen for signals that they need something different from me.

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.
