“Mae is awesome!! We were scrambling to find someone to watch our two 1yr old cats a few days before leaving and Mae was kind enough to help us out last minute. I can tell Mae truly understands the nature of cats and all the quirks that come with them. She really does a great job of catering to their unique personalities. My one cat is usually extremely shy with strangers but seemed to warm up to Mae quicker than with most people. Mae left everything very clean and sent a bunch of cute photos of the kitties. She even printed some physical copies of the photos for us! Thanks for everything!! <3”
“Thank you so much Amelia for taking care of Nimbus!! I appreciated you so much for sending all the photos and videos while we were away. It was also a joy to read the daily notes. I'm so glad he got comfortable with you and fast! You're awesome!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the majority of my life including the 3 family Labrador Retrievers I grew up with, extended family's cats and dogs, and neighbors' pets ranging from puppies and kittens to older pets. I am also the type of gal to point out every dog I see walks or road trips and a good time to me at a house party is playing with the dog! Let me know what kind of play and care your pet deserves and I would love to watch over your baby while you are away! I am currently looking for work in education or childcare and figured I could help out my community through pet care while I continue my search! I have the time and energy to care and play with your pet with the love and attention they deserve! I also have the added bonus of a flexible schedule that can meet your pet care needs! I can help support your pets' needs in a variety of ways including outdoor walking and exercise, indoor play (depending on space and personal preferences), feeding, brush and coat care, and will do my best to accommodate any additional pet needs!

About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born. My own dog, Trip has been with me since I was 18 years old. 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love. I am happy to provide your pets the same love and care I do for my own while you are away. I am currently working full-time M-F, 9-4. But i have flexibility to stop home for lunches. I can board at my home anytime with proper consultation and care instructions. I have a 2 bedroom home with small fenced in yard. As well as a friendly dog and cat to keep your loved companion at ease.
“What can we say! Lucy was a last minute find as we lost our other sitter. She went out of her way to meet up and put us at ease. Our two senior dogs absolutely love her. She's extremely personable and responsible, asking all the right questions and making sure we were in constant contact throughout. She sent pictures too that allowed us to see how well the pups were doing. We plan to use her again and recommend her to other family. While the dogs were excited to see us, they clearly miss her. Thank you Lucy!”

Mae was heaven sent! When my sister was injured and we had no one to care for her cat, Mae stepped up and really helped out tremendously. She went above and beyond her responsibilities and I will be forever grateful for her efforts. You would be wise to use Mae if you need help with your pets!

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.
