About: I grew up with dogs and cats and haven’t looked back! We currently have two dogs, 7 & 1, Shiloh and Shepherd. I raised a puppy with my sister and most recently Shepherd who is a retriever/poodle mix. I am currently building a small business but it is very flexible. I can be available every day at any hour and would love overnights, weekends and longer term stays! I will treat them as my own. We will spend a lot of time together. I love taking walks and having a furry friend with me. I want them to feel as safe and secure with you gone as possible. I will provide daily photo and text updates so you can see what fun we've been having. I will bring in the mail, take out the trash, and water plants as well.
“Ashley was super sweet! My dog can be hyper and she was able to handle her with no problems! And she was able to accommodate to my dogs schedule. Your dog will be well taken care of in her hands!”
“Claire is wonderful- was a life saver for Beatrice! Had a walker suddenly quit on me short notice - sent Claire a request on a Sunday and she was at my house for meet and greet the same day. I work so much and it is a relief that my Beatrice is cared for and it is truly sincere as she is a fur mom too!”
“Cassi is amazing with our two dogs, Bear & Maggie. Cassi gave Maggie, our shy girl, time to slowly warm up to her, eventually winning her over. They enjoy her visits, and we are relieved to know they are loved and well-cared for while we are gone. We are grateful to have found Cassi and look forward to continuing to have her watch our pups!”
“We were so lucky to connect with Dana for a last minute pet sit. She was very communicative and followed our instructions to a tee. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: To me, pet sitting isn't just a job—it’s about providing a safe, loving home away from home where your animals feel completely cherished. I have 10 years of deep experience caring for all kinds of unique pets, from small hamsters, rabbits, and jumping spiders, to large breeds like Cane Corsos and German Shepherds. I am entirely comfortable and confident managing big dogs, understanding their strength, and giving them the gentle, structured guidance they need. Whether your fur baby needs a long walk, a specialized routine, or just extra patience and cuddles, I treat every single animal with the same love, respect, and devotion I would show my own I work part-time in security and get to choose my own schedule. Because my days are so flexible, I’m entirely available for any special requirements or extra care your pet might need I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for animals. I have personal experience caring for a wide variety of pets—from traditional cats and dogs to small animals like rabbits and hamsters—meaning I understand how to respect their individual boundaries, handle specific enclosure requirements, and ensure a secure, hazard-free space.
“Sarah is excellent! She’s a very responsive and took great care of my cats while I was away on holidays. Would definitely recommend her as a responsible and friendly sitter.”
“Ashley is a great sitter - very professional, on time, and most importantly all my animals love her. She is my go to sitter now whenever I need one. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I love spending time with animals and going on long walks. I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s pets, making sure they feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for house sitting throughout the week and can accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide to make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll respect your home’s rules, stick to your pet’s schedule, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I have always had pets in the home. I have watched a lot of animals over the years & I even make sure the family comes back to a clean home. You wont even know I was there. I currently only work part time from 8 AM - 2 PM so there is plenty of time to play with the dogs/cats. I don't do much on the weekends so I would be at the house most of the time! I live with 2 dogs myself now & I love to cuddle with them & play. I currently do not watch dogs in my own home but would love to come to yours. This also helps so the dogs/cats are comfortable in their own space.
“Morgan was literally the best. One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes just a couple weeks before we went out of town and Morgan was quick to learn how to give him his insulin and make sure both of our cats were alive and well taken care of the whole time we were gone!! We've never had to hire a cat sitter before so this was an incredible first experience. We're so thankful for her & can't wait to have her back!”
About: I’ve taken care of horses, dogs and cats my whole life. I’d be happy to make your pets feel at home while you’re away and love them as my own! I work from home full time so your pet will get all the attention they want! I know my family has had a hard time finding good help with our dogs when we want to go on vacation so I’d like to be there for yours. We want to make sure we don’t mess up any of your training so please let me know if there’s a no furniture rule in your home. Otherwise I like to keep them as cozy and loved as possible.

Jennifer is amazing!! Really goes above and beyond. My cats loved her so much that they didn’t really care when I came back from my trip lol. She even took the trash out for me which was so nice. She is very thoughtful and sent me pictures of the cats as well.
Brian was amazing! He gave our old Bulldog and our old cat lots of love and attention during his visits. He sent us photos every day showing how well our pets were taken care of. Every detail of care was taken care of; he treated our pets like they were his own.

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.
