“She was fantastic with my cat! She gave very thorough and thoughtful updates and knew just how to bring my cat out of her shell and get her to engage. So glad she was able to watch my pet for me.”
“Isabella was great! She was able to help us last minute and make sure that our youngest kitten got her meds on schedule while we were away. She was responsible, and very communicative. Highly recommend !”
“Katrina was wonderful! She took care of my cat every time and tried to get him to play, even when he was skittish. She gave me great photos and information from each visit.”
About: ***I am independently insured through PetCare for greater peace of mind while you’re away*** ***Certified in cat and dog first aid*** I've recently gone through a career switch from caring for humans (I was a registered nurse) to caring for animals last year. However, I have loved and cared for several personal and friend’s pets, to include cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, throughout my entire life. I hold a strong passion for advocating and caring for all beings with empathy, patience, and understanding. Since my career switch, I have experienced pets who need extra attention due to daily medications, reactivity, older age, anxiety, and helping to instill training (I am not a certified trainer) the clients are already teaching their pet(s) during my walks and/or pet sits. Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job now. Whether you need a midday walk or need someone to care for your pets while you escape on vacation, I’m available for either service throughout the week, weekend, and some holidays. While I do not provide care in my home, I do travel to your pets while you’re away. My approach to caring for animals is with a lot of patience and respect. I’m happy to take it slow for each animal that may be a bit timid at first. I have a lot of experience personally and professionally working with animals who are timid, reactive, etc. For new clients, I like to have a meet/greet to go over care instructions before the pet sitting/walking dates. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions and discuss further what you can expect while you’re away. My goal is to provide care the way your pet is used to. I send daily updates/pictures/video to give you the reassurance that your pet is being loved on just the way you would if you were there.
About: My lifelong love for animals began growing up visiting farms, which taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to animal’s needs. I worked at an animal hospital for over a year, assisting veterinarians with administering medications to dogs and cats. I also handled the boarding and daily care of dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and geckos. I was trained to properly feed, monitor, bathe, and exercise over 100 pets per day. This hands-on medical and boarding experience allows me to provide a higher level of care, safety. I adore senior doggies and cats and the puppies and kittens are the funniest! I maintain a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available in the evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays after 7 PM, have midday and evening availability on Tuesdays, and can provide care in the mornings and evenings on Thursdays and Fridays. I am fully available on weekends, which allows for extended care, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience working in an animal hospital taught me how to carefully follow routines, notice small changes in behavior, and handle pets gently in their own space. I treat every home with respect and stick to each pet’s usual schedule and owners requests, whether that’s feeding, medications, litter care, or walks. I’m trained to give medications and I always take my time to make sure everything is done correctly and calmly. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make sure to send updates, photos, and notes after visits. My goal is to keep pets relaxed and happy while giving pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring hands.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over 15 years. Animal breeds ranging from Labradors, boxers and mix breeds. I currently have a rescue dog, and a kitty from birth. I am currently working full time and available almost every weekend. I'd be available to care for your animals after 3:30pm daily and anytime on the weekend. I have a bark park just around the corner and a happy jolly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company. I have a nice large crate, should your dog need to be crated for any reason.
“Alina was great - she was friendly and professional, responded very quickly to all messages, and took excellent care of my cat. I could tell when I got home that my cat was less stressed than she usually is when I'm away, and I think Alina played a big part in that. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.
About: Hi, I’m Allison! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have 5+ years of experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. I’m big on reading body language, earning trust, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved—whether that’s through belly rubs, playtime, or just good company. I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you always know they’re in great hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 With my hybrid work schedule (WFH Mon, Wed, Fri), I'm flexible on check-ins, walks, playtime, and hangouts—whatever your pet needs! I’m responsive and reliable, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve while you’re away (and missing you). I’m happy to work around your pet’s personality and routine. I don’t offer boarding in my own home because I have pets of my own, but I am dedicated to providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pets in their own space. I’m highly aware and respectful of each pet’s routine, space, and any preferences you may have. I understand that some pet owners have specific needs or concerns, and I’m more than happy to accommodate and adjust to ensure your pet feels at ease. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own!
“Taylor has been our sitter for a while and she I trustworthy, cares for our pets like they are her own and always give her all while caring for our pets even when we had a tiny emergency. I highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“Claudia was amazing! This was our first time using Rover or any type of pet sitting service. At first I was slightly nervous as I knew our cats are somewhat shy and I didn’t exactly know what to expect. Claudia eased all my concerns! She was incredibly communicative leading up to her visits and our kitties loved her! Highly highly recommend and we won’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Mia! I've had cats and dogs my entire life, and I am OBSESSED with all of the animals in my life! :) I've been pet sitting for as long as I can remember, and I know how important your pets are to you because I feel the same way about mine. I'll treat your pet like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you're away! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to adapt my day or week to meet each client's needs. I always make sure pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! Every pet is unique, so I base my care on each client's preferences and their pet's individual needs. I'll be highly communicative throughout the visit, providing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing! :)
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is that I have first hand experience with many types of dogs and cats. I’ve worked at a couple of daycares and I have my own animals that I care for deeply. I understand how a pet can be your child and I promise to care for them as I would my own. I’m very responsible, reliable, and I am very fast with responses. Please consider me when you want your pet properly cared for🫶 I currently stay at home for work and I am an artist! I care for my cats daily and can take on the extra responsibility of your animals too! I care for my own pets in many ways, I accommodate their needs and I also try to give them the best care possible! Accidents happen but I always keep the place clean!

Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I'm happy to work around each pet's needs. I make time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets attention and care while their owners are away.

I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, whether that means feeding them, playing with them, going on walks, or just spending time with them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newington
Daphne always goes above and beyond caring for my two cats during her visits. This time, she was an absolute saint. One of my cats needed two to three meds for an illness and was stressed out from the process. Daphne administered the meds twice a day, sent extra details, photos, and videos, and responded in real time to my questions. I am so grateful for the care she provided for my cats while I was away. She put my cats and me at ease during a stressful illness. I couldn’t imagine better care.
Marcela is a reliable, professional, and caring pet sitter. At a difficult time, when our cat was adjusting after losing our other cat, Marcela gave extra attention and lots of cuddles. The daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind. We appreciated the helpful tips she shared about our cat fast eating. We would gladly recommend Marcela to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.
If you need a catsitter, make sure it's Jackie! She came highly recommended by another repeat client whom I know personally. I get anxious leaving my "velcro kitty" alone, but from the moment I met Jackie I knew my girl was in good hands. Jackie sent thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, and we're incredibly grateful! But don't just take my word, trust my cat's review. She crawled into Jackie's lap during her very first visit and parked there for each subsequent visit!
Wyatt was so helpful for a last minute booking we needed to take care of our cat Otis. He was quick to respond, took extra good care of our cat, and even offered to groom him a bit! Was obvious he loves pets and I will definitely reach out to him again if we ever need another sitter in the future.
Abel checked in on our cat, Boushy, while we were out of town. He was really easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our Boushy. He also shared very cute pictures with us and we could tell that our cat really liked him. Will absolutely be asking Abel to check in on Boushy again in the future! 😊
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
