“David did a great job caring for Audrey, my indoor/outdoor cat, keeping to a consistent routine, spending time with Audrey who does not easily warm up to new people but definitely trusted David. It was a comfort knowing someone would be checking on Audrey every morning. I had several deliveries and David brought the packages inside for me. I appreciated the daily photos of Audrey as well.”
“Kim met with us prior to needing to do a drop in. She became familiar with our cats and their special needs. Later, She was on time for each drop in. She administered medication to one of our cats and made certain all were fed and happy. She spent time with the cats. Kim sent us photos of our cats and a summary of her visit - both of which made us feel the cats were in good hands. She took great care of the cats! We are again utilizing Kim’s skill. We know our cats are in good hands.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.
“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Tamara was amazing! Highly recommend. She watched my 2 kittens for a few days. She fed them, cleaned up after them, cleaned the litter and took the time to play with them. She even took out the garbage!! Very impressed and will definitely hire again.🐾”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.
About: I used to have an English bulldog and I used to always walk and take care of her. And feed and give her baths and keep her clean and keep her comfy. I have plenty of time whenever needed. I can do nights and evening mostly I do instacart on the side but not that often thanks. I will keep it clean and take care of everything not leaving any mess and feed the animal and take care of the animal. :)
About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life. I have experience with dogs from the puppy stage all the way through senior care. I love playtime, going on walks and just lounging. I currently work a remote job that gives me a lot of flexibility with hours and working location. As long as I have a wifi signal I am good to be on the go! I have a fenced yard and super sweet pup. Can also use a crate if needed to provide a relaxing environment for your pup or pups.
About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.
“Joanne was great with my kitties. She took care of them for a week. Excellent communication and kind with my cats. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again! Thank you Joanne for being amazing!💕”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around my whole life and knew from a very young age that i was meant to be apart of changing an animals life in a positive and proactive way. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am also a veterinary technician! so pet care is apart of my everyday routine. I have 2 very friendly dogs and 2 very friendly cats that get along with anyone and anything. I can walk them around my neighborhood!
“Elisandro has a special way with cats. He not only understands them and treats them beautifully, he knows a lot about different breeds. He is a cat (& dog) owner himself. He remembered every detail of my cats' care that we went over, he is immediate in answering all texts, he is right on schedule every day. He is very well spoken, friendly, trustworthy and respectful to human beings as well! My cats let me know that they loved him when I got back home from being away. I will always ask Elisandro when I go out of town, and I highly recommend him!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my lifelong experience with pets and my genuine care for their individual needs. I grew up with three dogs, which gave me a strong foundation in daily care, routines, and understanding different personalities. I used to help take care of my sister’s dog, so I’m very comfortable with consistent walks, feeding schedules, and providing attentive companionship. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter maintenance, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently live alone in a studio with no dogs/cats, nor children. I work full-time and go in the office on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available for walking or babysitting on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends as needed. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable and safe by following their usual routines as closely as possible. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get regular walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, keep their space clean, and provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pets are well cared for.

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.
