“Jynna is incredible! She clearly cares for the pets she watches over and specifically went above and beyond to make sure my kittens were eating well while I was gone. She also sent photos of them playing every day and left everything looking great when I returned - thank you!”
“Yvette checked in on my two cats while I was away and did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter to check in on their fur babies!”
“Lauren was wonderful watching out for our cat, Sookie! She always sent great pictures and updates about how she was doing, making me feel good knowing she was in the best hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. I currently have a 4 year old cockapoo and she is the best dog. I can do walks, drop -ins and also give your animals their medications I work full time night shift as a nurse but I do get put “on call” a lot so I just sit at home. Just ask and I’m sure I can make your visit work with my schedule. I am also available for night time walks as well I take my dog for many walks a day so I know exactly how much time goes into it and also know that sometimes you just need help
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10. Every puppy or dog from the shelter has been crate/potty trained. I do have a senior dog who needs more patience and attention but he still acts like a puppy sometimes. I’m retired so I can make your life easier. Just let me know what/when you’ll need me and I can work it out for you and your babies. I have a fenced yard and my babies are house trained so they have free access to the entire house. If I’m potty training, of course, they would be crated.
About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs! I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my neighbors pets and my own. My parents were strict that if we were to have pets they were everyone's responsibility! I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out! I'm currently starting my own art business, so my schedule is very open, I can work around whatever time you need me there for your pet! Whatever is your routine for your pet and household rules are, I will do everything in my power to uphold it! If you want walks, outdoor time, play time I am happy to accommodate.
About: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day
“Danielle was wonderful!! She was so accommodating and such a life-saver. She took great care of my two kitties and of the house, and was very communicative. She was caring, competent, and overall a wonderful sitter!”
About: I have experience with taking care of all range of pet needs, from strict schedules to more flexible basic care needs. I regularly take care of my friends and family pets. We walk. We read. We nap and snack. If there's a schedule to be kept, I'm on top of it. If your cat, dog, iguana, bird, or other pet is more flexible and just wants to chill, I'm happy to do that as well. You let me know what your beloved pet needs and I'll help make it happen. I usually take/send at least daily care pics with the pets activities of the day as well. I have a flexible schedule! I can do any time. Whether it's early mornings. Late nights. Sleep overs. Weekends.Holidays. Afternoons! Whatever your fur kid needs. Safety and trust always first. I will treat your fur kid's like my own. I will give them walkies. Pets and cuddles. Reading time. Snack time. I will love on them.
About: Hi, I’m Alison! 🐾 and I’m 29 years old. I’m a pet lover based in Haltom City, TX, and I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pup will feel right at home. I’ve already cared for several wonderful dogs and love creating a strong bond with each one. I live in an RV that is almost a tiny house with my husband. My RV is inside a fence that remains closed at all times. I live in a quiet neighborhood and have a very large yard behind my RV, perfect for running and playing with your dog. We also have some green areas and parks around. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and overnight stays. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and responsible, I’d be happy to help care for your furry friend! 🐶💕 I hope to hear about you soon! I love providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I want every pet in my care to feel at home and receive plenty of attention and love. I’m usually available every weekend and two full days during the week for boarding, doggy daycare, and walks! Three days each week, I’ll be away from home for about 8 hours, but the days may vary from week to week. I’ll always make sure my furry guests get a walk and are fed before I leave and as soon as I return home. I live in an RV next to a house, where the owner has one dog. The house has fenced areas on both sides, and I have my own separate entrance to my property. The fences remain closed throughout the day to help keep all the pets safe.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 20+ years, loving on your furry friend while you’re away or just giving them a little extra makes my day! I currently work from home Monday through Friday with very flexible hours, leaving plenty of time for me to spend with your fur babies. 😀 To me caring for your pet in their home means, providing a safe, loving, interactive and entertaining experience for them while you are away. 😀
About: I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember! I got my first cat when I was 7, and even though he was a little mean, I loved him dearly, and he was a big part of my life until he passed away when I was 17. I’ve had cats in my life ever since, and I’m very much a proud cat lady. I currently live in a household with five cats and two dogs, so there’s never a shortage of animal personalities around here. Living in a multi-pet household has given me plenty of experience with how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and routines. I understand that every cat has their own personality. Some are affectionate and want attention all day, while others prefer their own space or need more time to warm up to someone new. I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a lifelong cat lover (and proud cat lady!) who’s been around cats for as long as I can remember. I have two of my own—both rescues—and they mean the world to me. I’ve been through everything from bottle feeding and socializing a stray kitten to emergency vet visits and post-hospital care, including administering medication, syringe feeding, and round-the-clock monitoring. When my own cat was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis, I didn’t hesitate to do whatever it took to get him the care he needed. That experience only deepened my understanding of how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your cat. I treat every cat I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Cats aren’t just pets—they’re family. I get that, and I show up accordingly I provide drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or space, I respect their personality and routine. I’m experienced in feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, and administering medication if needed. I also keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in great hands.
“Mariah did an excellent job. Communication was clear and consistent, and I appreciated the pictures and video updates of my girl. Everything went perfectly—I’d absolutely recommend her.”

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
