“Angela is truly a cat whisperer. I told her there was a good chance she wouldn’t even see one of our skittish cats during her visits, to which she replied “challenge accepted!” In no time, both our cats came to greet Angela by running down the stairs and looking forward to meal time and play time. Angela sends lots of movies and pictures and you can tell she genuinely loves the cats. She responds very quickly to communications too! Travel in peace, with Angela in charge, she’s awesome!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available at a variety of times, including daytime, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. As I pursue a future full-time Monday–Friday position, I plan to continue pet care with a strong focus on evening and weekend availability, while still offering additional flexibility when possible. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.
“Bonnie made fast friends with our two cats, one who is usually super shy and hesitant around new people! She took great care of our cats and helped us feel comfortable being away!”
About: I’m a local mom of two boys and a lifelong animal lover, and I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re part of our family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet—whether it’s for a quick trip or a longer vacation—so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease. I provide dependable, calm, and attentive care, with lots of updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention throughout the day, and I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I build it into my schedule so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m not overbooked, I’m able to give each pet my full attention and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all follow their normal schedule. I spend quality time with each pet so they don’t feel rushed or alone, and I’m careful to keep the home clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.
“Danielle did a few drop-in visits with our fur babies in preparation for a housesitting we scheduled for our honeymoon. She has done very well with both dogs, even our Kensi that is very fearful and wary of strangers. Thank you!! :)”
“Nicole did an amazing job caring for my cats!! She was attentive and made sure they got love while I was away. She made sure that she found my scaredy boy who loves to hide to check he was okay!”
About: I have taken care of my own 3 dogs since I was young and have dog sat for neighbors and friends multiple times over the last few years! I have cared for dogs of any breed and any age, as well as dogs with health concerns! I currently work Tuesday-Thursday 9am-11:30am and am open for just about the rest of the day! It is possible that I will have 2-3 hours of work at night but depends on co-workers schedules! I am very willing to walk and play with them or lay down and watch a movie on a tired day! I have cared for my own dogs and others, all with different personalities and energy, so I can make sure your dog is taken care of to the best of my abilities!
“Shelly took such good care of our dog. Using Ro we was a great experience because of her kindness and great pet care. We will definitely book her again.”
“Sydney watched our cat for about a week and was fantastic. We were worried as our cat is still newer to our family and had never been left alone. Sydney gave him lots of love and attention giving great updates on how he was doing. She was super thoughtful about being proactive about the house too - bringing packages inside and offering to help when temperatures were unusually low outside. I highly recommend Sydney.”
“Kyra is a lifesaver..if it wasnt for her i would not b able to travel...bailey will 19 on jun 15 & i worry about him when im gone..i worry less with kyra taking care of him!..she should get the pet siitter of the yr award!”
“Janel always does exactly what is needed. I have piece of mind at every drop in and overnight stay knowing that Oliver is well taken care of. She is always my first choice for a sitter!”
“Jeffery is fantastic! He takes excellent care of my two dogs and always gives me peace of mind when they're in his care. He’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my entire life! Caring for animals is something I take seriously, and I always make sure they feel at home. It is my privilege to give your pets a safe, fun, and stress free experience when you can’t be with them. I balance a full time role with flexible availability to give your pets consistent, loving care during the week. I also have open availability on the weekends. I provide hands on, attentive care whether pets are in my home or theirs. I stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by giving them consistent attention, keeping their environment clean, and treating them like my own pets
“Sydnee was amazing with our two boys!! We received photos everyday and updates to make sure everything was okay. There were lots of play times and she always made sure they had enough food. We felt very comfortable with her in our home and we will be messaging her next time we need someone over :)”
“Katarinna and her son stayed at our home at with our two dogs while we were on vacation. They treated our home like their own - very clean, things put away, and even cleaned up our dog bowls! She sent photos and checked in throughout the week. It was such a huge relief knowing our dogs were cuddled, played with, and well-loved while we were away!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, mainly dogs and cats. Now as an adult I have several furry friends but find myself with extra time on my hands now that I have elementary aged kiddos. I know how important it is to find trusted and excellent care for your pets. I had a beloved Australian Cattle dog named Ellie that passed away in 2025 after a long battle with cancer and diabetes. I cared for her for 12 years up until her last breath. Our pets are family and I understand the importance of showing them as much love for their short time here with us. We are their whole world ♥️💙 I want to share my love of animals with others and give them a peace of mind that their babies are in good care. I live in a neighborhood with quick access to a lot of locations. I have a lot of time during the day to visit your furry friends! I have a large backyard and safe neighborhood with sidewalks. I have a large home with many levels and can create a calm and safe space if needed to slowly acclimate your pet.

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.
