“Jennifer took such great care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She sent great updates and photos. As a bonus, Smokey really seemed to love her company! I’ll absolutely request her as a sitter next time I travel.”
“Emily was phenomenal!! The photos and updates let me know my pets were well cared for. She was beyond patient with one cat that was pretty grumpy I was gone and I'm so thankful she was there to take care of them!”
“August was great! She made time quickly to come meet our cats before she watched them and communicated well while we were gone! The cats warmed up to her well and we will for sure be using her for cat/dog care in the future!”
“Ella dropped in for cat care daily for almost 2 weeks. She is reliable and very responsive as well as attentive. Her professional approach to her job is admirable. Hope we can work together again one day. Thank you Ella.”
“She was amazing!! We needed someone last minute and I’m so glad we found her. The girls were comfortable with her, they warmed up to her so fast- which says a lot because cats definitely know their people lol. She was super cat-aware and really understood their personalities, boundaries, and what they needed to feel comfortable. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was great about communicating the whole time, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. She honestly just felt like our kind of person and I felt really comfortable having her with my girls and in our home. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! 🥹🩷”
“Allison is wonderful! Our kitty took to her quickly, and she took great care of our her for us while we were away. Communication was excellent as well. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“Ashlyn was willing to watch our cat on short notice after we had to unexpectedly leave town, and we are so grateful! We recently moved to the area so we were especially worried about leaving our girl. Fortunately, Ashlyn was very communicative, sending daily photos and updates, which helped ease our stress. Our cat is typically shy and can take a few days to warm up to new people, but she seemed comfortable within a day of Ashlyn watching her. We are again so appreciative of her and will definitely be asking her to watch our girl again in the future!”
About: I have pet sat for various friends and family from daily check in with the pets to overnight stays in home. I have also owned various pets myself from cats, dogs, fish, lizards, etc. I enjoy making sure the pets are happy and taken care of, while following any rules and requests left by the pet owner! I am available to do overnight pet care if the pet owner is out of town, visits and stays during the day to check on pets and let them out for potty breaks, walks, playing, etc. I like to keep an eye on pets when I am caring for them, making sure they are not getting into places they do not belong. I will play with them with toys and in the yard if needed. When staying the night I will make sure pets are where they are supposed to be, fed, etc.
About: Often dog walk and house sit. Have experience with multiple dogs and cats at a time. Also done puppies and kittens. Great with communication and planning! I have a very flexible schedule so my activities can be fit around what your dog(s) or cat(s) need. So that includes times during the day and also days of the week. I have 2 small dogs very friendly and they are crate trained. One outside cat that sometimes stops by for food and water. We have a fenced yard with a pool.
About: I will show your animal the General love and care as I give my own! I love dogs and cats and would love to care for them when you’re unable to! I love giving lovings and napping with the animals they love cuddling in the bed together! I work full time Monday through Friday typically but am very willing to work around those hours to care for your loves! I typically am free in the evenings and can wake up earlier to take care of your babies if needed before work. I treat everyone’s home with respect. I know it is sometimes uneasy trusting someone new as some people have no respect for others and their belongings rest assured with me your house will be in the same condition you left it in!
About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.
“Misty is great! She’s patient with my grumpy cat and wins him over. She lets him come to her and respects when the time to be affectionate is done. She’s on time, communicative, and follows instructions. Love her.”
About: I grew up in a vet clinic having a father as a Veterinarian calling it my home away from home. I chose to stay in the animal field with the passion I have for animals and be that person that owners can trust when they leave their animals and have a peace of mind.I have tons of vet tech experience. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 2 sons,Beckett and Brooks,4 cats, and a dog.We are all enjoying summer at the house with tons of free time , so watching after animals will fit into my schedule perfectly. I have a fenced in back yard and let them out very frequently, several times during the day and of course first thing in the morning and right before bedtime.My house is very clean and there’s plenty of space for your pet.I will follow any instructions you leave me whether it’s feeding or medication.When they are at my home they are considered family.They can free roam, sleep in the bed with me, get on the couch, the whole point is I want them to feel comfortable and have fun!!
About: If this is your first time booking, use https://www.rover.com/sit/noran93663 for 20 dollars off! Ive had the opportunity over the last few years to care for pups ranging from 10weeks to senior dogs! I’ve also had the experience working with dogs of varying temperaments from skittish to semi aggressive. My goal is to provide loving care to your animals while providing that reassurance that your pets are being well loved! I’m currently a stay at home mom so care for the animals can be very flexible and fit whatever schedule works best for them. Keeping the dog on their routine helps to minimize any stress! I have a fenced in backyard and I do have a very playful pup that would love to have a friend or pal to play with!
“Last minute requested for a booking and Audrey came through! It was our first time to leave the girls with a sitter, and she gave positive reassurance throughout. Provided care to our girls with no problems and provided thorough communication. Gave medications as well to one of our cats. We did not have to worry!”
“I appreciate Debbie so much for taking my last minute booking and supplying me with twice daily updates for my cat(as well as photos which are so important as a cat person). She was amazing!”
About: I grew up on a farm and always had both dogs and cats. Currently have one of each. I went through a six week dog training program with Therapy Partners. I’ve been called a cat whisperer but that’s just because I know when to give them space. I can be very loving with dogs but can also be commanding when they need it. I’m a professional musician who tours with LEVON. Typically traveling a couple weekends a month. I am mostly at home making my own schedule, so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have no problem cleaning up messes/accidents or changing cat litter. I’m great at wrestling with big dogs who like to he rough, or snuggling with gentle kitties. Happy to administer pills/medications for dogs or cats. I have experience caring for a dog with epilepsy, a previous dog with cancer treatments, and have even administered eye drops to a very difficult cat.

New to the area. Needed a pet sitter. Molly was awesome. Had her watch our cat for 2 weeks. She was very sweet and worked with all our requests. She was prompt to respond, answered any question we had while we were gone. Our kitty was well fed and had good water when we came back! We plan to use her whenever we go out of town!

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.
