“Robyn was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and kind while taking care of our two cats while we were away. With one senior cat, and one much younger escape artist cat, I was worried about leaving them while my husband and I were traveling, but Robyn put my mind at ease with regular pictures, videos, and updates. 10/10 recommend!!”
“This is the second time Kimberlee has cared for our five cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is exceptional! Thank you for caring for our fur babies so we could enjoy our time away.”
About: I have been the family pet sitter since I was a teenager, and I have a love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Even snakes and bugs i currently am working part time, and looking for a side job and can fit almost any schedule given my work schedule weekly. Im free 5-6 days of the week most times. Attentive and controlled pet care. I am always making sure the pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in the home. While walking keeping the pets close to me is something i firmly believe in.
“Lorrin was great with our 3 kitties (+ chickens and goldfish 😄) while we were gone, I’m sure they enjoyed all the love and attention she gave them each visit and she communicated perfectly each day with lots of photos and updates. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I am a recently retired teacher. I have been a cat and dog owner for most of my life. Multiple pets most of the time. I love animals in general. My wife and I currently travel and pet sit around the world. I am a recently retired teacher (May, 2023) after 25 years. I am looking forward to pet and house sitting as something to do in retirement. I will care for your cat(s) and/or dog(s) according to your instructions. I will be attentive to their needs and play with them and give them all the attention they deserve.
About: I've pet-sat for a family friend who has a border collie and a King Corso, so I have experience with big dogs. I've also taken care of cats that I had. I do take care of exotic pets, but I would need instructions. I am a college student who is out for the summer looking to take care of some animals, however my service will be close july 30 due to a trip. as a drop in visit typically let the pets outside to stretch their legs and depending on the animals a leash. I also bring treats for cats and dogs, not for exotic pets.
“Tyler was great with me and my cat! She gave updates and did a great job making sure our animals acclimated to each other well. Made sure my cat had lots of attention and care.”
“Jacqueline was a dream! I needed a house sitter + cat sitter over the holidays, and Jacqueline was the perfect choice. She began with a meet and greet about 2 weeks before I was leaving town. She sent me daily pictures of Bruce and Fig, and left my home in better shape than she found it! So wonderful to leave a home and my crazy cats in such wonderful hands.”
“"She might be an angel", is what my husband said when we arrived home to our immaculate apartment and a content cat. We had to cut one of our olive trees before the trip, and the plant regenerated while Isabella was here - so even the plants love her! As I sat down in our living room after a long trip, and our cat jumped on my lap to hug me, I appreciated Isabella so much for taking good care of her, for leaving the apartment super clean and organized (she even washed all the linens, dishes, surfaces, floors!), and making the whole process very easy for us. Is she a human or a angel? I don't know- but get her to pet-sit for you, and you will have an angelic experience!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, building hands-on experience with pets at every stage—from energetic 6-month-old puppies and kittens to senior companions up to 17 years old. This range has taught me how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s unique needs, whether that means playtime and structure for younger pets or patience, gentleness, and routine for older ones. I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, from small Morkies to large German Shepherds, and I’m comfortable handling different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether a pet is highly active, a little shy, or just loves to relax, I take the time to understand their personality and help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive care so your pet feels at ease and well-loved while you’re away. I’m currently working full time, but am allotted an hour lunch break allowing me to drop in mid-day if necessary. I also run and am a part of a run club and am open to bringing friendly pups along with me for some social time and exercise! I care for every pet as if it's my own while ensuring to fulfill your wishes as the pet owner. Dog or cat, your pet will feel genuinely loved, cared for, and as comfortable as possible without you being there.
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”

Can care for your pet all day since i work from home. I also enjoy walks and will walk your pet. Home is pet friendly and safe for all pets. Your pet will be leashed on walks.

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.
