“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”
“My experience was outstanding. Kari was so easy to communicate with, she put me at ease right away. She sent pics daily, and kept me well-informed while I was gone. And my critters were obviously well-cared for and happy when I got back to them. Kari was unerringly thoughtful and conscientious. Truly, a great experience across the board.”
“Nora was really easy to work with, prompt with her visits and I think the kitties really loved her! Thanks so much for your additional help with topaz’s medication and giving them so many pets!”
“Paige was so wonderful!! She was so good with our cat, Ginger, who was very relaxed, calm, and happy when we returned from our trip. Paige sent lots of pictures every day and communicated well what was going on in the house and with Ginger. She was also very patient with me as a first time Rover user who had lots of questions. She always responded quickly and was very reassuring, as I am nervous before I travel. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet(s)!”
“Booked Lauren at the last minute sight-unseen for drop-ins with my cat over Labor Day weekend. She showed up on time each day and sent a message with photos each day too. Upon arriving home, I found everything in order. And the cat had been acting very normal. So happy with Lauren. Highly recommended.”
“Madeline was wonderful! She was caring, attentive, and patient with our kitty, even when Faye was feeling stressed. We really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind knowing Faye was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel is always so good with our cats! It makes it much easier to leave them knowing they’re in such good hands with her. She is quick to respond and shares lots of photos of our girls that are fun to see!”
“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two dogs (Great Pyrenees and pitbull) and two cats. I have experience giving medication (pill and liquid format), as well as giving insulin, and even subcutaneous IV fluids. Because my dogs are so big, you bet I’ll be able to walk your dog(s) no matter their size! I love going to dog parks or just chilling on the couch for some cuddles. I also have experience with spicier critters who just need a little time and space. No matter how big or small, how old or young, I’ll take the best care of your babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so popping over for play/potty breaks or house sitting for you during the work week is no problem. I’m available 5pm onwards and on weekends for sitting or more extensive care. I am flexible with my availability. I am very good at following any instructions you have for your fur baby when I come to your house. Anything you need me to do I’ll do it. The best possible feeling is knowing your animals are in good, safe hands when you’re not available to take care of them yourself and I promise to deliver.
“She is amazing this was my first time using the app and she was very sweet and definitely someone who goes above and beyond will definitely be rebooking with her often. Thanks for everything Trina!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a high-energy English Springer Spaniel and was lucky enough to spend 16 wonderful years with him. I am also a proud cat mom of two and truly love animals of all kinds! In addition to regularly pet sitting for friends and family, I have experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, medication schedules, mobility considerations, and providing extra comfort and attention when needed. Through caring for aging pets of my own and others, I have become comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and adapting care to meet each pet's individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is young and energetic, shy and anxious, senior, or requires extra support, I strive to provide the same level of care, love, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I set my own work schedule and currently work remotely on Wednesdays and Fridays. On the days I go into the office, I am home by 4:00 PM at the latest and can make adjustments to my schedule as needed. I also spend most weekends at home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care to any animals in my care! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I understand that consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the routines pets are used to. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and attention. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I carefully monitor introductions between animals when applicable. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and appropriate enrichment throughout the day. I also have a fenced-in yard that allows for energy to be shed! When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I follow all care instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their family is away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and where owners feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands.
“Heather was super friendly and helpful. She took great care of Goldie and communicated regularly with helpful updates. It sounds like she liked playing with Heather’s cat, but her dog was a bit too rambunctious for Goldie. She had a great time!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for and pet sitting all kinds of animals, and I’ve been trusted by many family members and neighbors to take care of their pets. I absolutely love animals and enjoy spending time with them! I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I currently work full-time from 8:30 AM–5:00 PM, but I have my mornings, evenings, and overnights available for pet care. My weekends are also completely free, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend time with and care for pets. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean and tidy and follow any specific instructions or preferences their owner provides.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
Stephanie was great with our two cats! She connected with them calmly and I could tell they were comfortable with her. We loved the detailed check-ins, with a number of cute and fun photos. Updates showed that she'd taken notice of their personalities and quirks. I felt very relaxed leaving the kitties in her care.
Leann is so sweet and attentive to our little cat, and she went from hiding to enjoying being petted! I really appreciate Leann’s checking on my kitty to administer a second medication -truly did more than we asked for. Thank you so much and will definitely re-book 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
