“Monika was wonderful to work with, and our kitty, Macho, seemed to really love her! We're so grateful she was there to give him attention and ensure he had everything he needed while we were away.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m really happy Carolyn was around to watch my cat. She gave really good updates on how he was doing with food/appetite and he seemed genuinely comfortable around her which he usually isn’t with strangers. I highly recommend Carolyn for watching your pets!”
“Very patient with my cat! He is very shy but extremely loving. He doesn't do well with new people and Rozalyn took the time to make him comfortable during our time away! She is amazing!”
About: I have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding environments. My responsibilities included supervising groups of dogs, providing meals and medications when needed, maintaining clean and safe play areas, giving dogs individual attention, and making sure each pet was comfortable and well cared for during their stay. I also have experience grooming dogs, including bathing, brushing, drying, and general coat care. Working in a professional pet-care environment taught me how to handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs while keeping their safety and happiness a priority. work full-time in the afternoons and evenings, so I have great availability for pet care during the mornings and early afternoons. I’m also available on my days off and can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m dependable and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. take pet safety and comfort very seriously. I’m experienced caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home secure, make sure your pets have everything they need, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Stephanie did a fantastic job looking after our cats while we were away. Plenty of photos and great detailed updates. She seems to genuinely enjoy and care for them 🖤🖤🖤 I appreciated having a cat lover check in on them and give them some love! Great sitter that I will absolutely use again! Thanks Stephanie!”
“Jamie watched my cat while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. He didn’t do so great the first day because he wasn’t used to the environment however, Jamie took such great care of him and he began getting more comfortable. I’m thankful for her patience and love for him. He needs insulin injections twice daily and she was more than capable of administering them. We will definitely be using her services in the future. Thanks Jamie!!”
“Allene was amazing to work with! My normally-skittish kitty just loved her and she went the extra mile to hunt for my younger cat, who decided to find new hiding spots that I didn’t even know about! I will definitely be booking Allene again in the future!”
“What a great experience! Michelle was timely, communicative and kind when caring for our cats. Michelle had to navigate our house under construction and evolving pet care plans - and did so with ease.”
About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.
“Mandy was excellent with my two kitties! They were well fed, well brushed, and well taken care of the whole time we were away for the holiday! I loved the daily pictures of Mandy having play time with the kitties. Would most definitely hire her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
We’ve used Jessica several times, and she’s been fantastic every time. She’s consistently available on short notice, always punctual, and very polite. Even though we’re not home during her visits, our hairless cat, who is extremely selective about people,comes out to see her and happily lets Jessica pet her. That alone says a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Julia has watched our almost 18 year old cat several times now. Navigated the different medicines she needed and this last time noticed that she had a medical issue and reached out to my emergency contact right away. I would highly recommend Julia as a cat sitter!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
