“I love these updates. Erika is very nice and always willing to work with me on times due to my current work schedule. I can’t see having anyone else take care of my fur-babies while I’m away.”
“Kara is phenomenal. I've used her twice and she's been great with my puppy Toby. One time I was away on a trip and needed her for an urgent visit, she took care of it immediately. I highly recommend her services. Your puppy will be in good hands with Kara!”
About: I have grown up with large dogs (Dobermans, Pitties, Mastiffs) my entire life. I have been rescuing Pitties for over 20yrs and am currently on my fourth rescue. I am experienced with medication administration, special needs and, all ages of dogs from newborn to senior. I have an hour lunch break and, am free after 3pm daily and, all day every other wknd! I care for my 3 pets and can't wait to get home and see them! I work 7-3 most days but, my dog is yard trained so, can be let out multiple times when I am not at home. Once I do get home, we head out for a walk and then, its dinner time! All of my animals are allowed on my furniture and, choose who's bed they sleep in each night!
“I was able to travel soundly knowing that my Loki was in good hands. She was super sweet when I asked her to continue caring for Loki after I missed my flight. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I’m great with all kinds of dogs — active pups who love playtime outdoors and calm dogs who enjoy peaceful, relaxing moments. I adjust my care to fit their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am usually pretty free during the week, but send me a message and we can find a time that works for both of us! I keep each pet’s care as consistent as possible with their normal routine. I also make sure every dog gets extra attention so they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: As a longtime dog owner and animal lover, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, dependable and attentive, and I’m especially comfortable with dogs who are shy, nervous or need a little extra time to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and treat them like I would my own. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s regular routine and can provide morning, daytime or evening care depending on your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and respect your pet’s normal routine, home and boundaries. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and surroundings, and I’ll take the time to help your pet feel comfortable with me. You can also expect reliable communication, photos and updates during every visit.
“Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She kept me updated and clearly communicated throughout the visit with my two pups. She was extremely patient as one dog is nervous and reluctant to come out for strangers. Thank you Stephanie!! I appreciate your time!”
“Hunter was great with my not-so-friendly cat. She was very punctual with her visits and sent great updates with pics of my cat. She even came during a snowstorm! Would definitely work with Hunter again and highly recommend her for reliable, caring pet sitting. Thanks Hunter!”
“Katie is a kind sweet person who I trust to be in my home and to take care of my two precious fur babies. She arrived on time stayed the duration of the expected visit time and completed the tasks of which I requested upon scheduling this visit.”
About: I grew up with a yellow lab that I cared for throughout my childhood. I now have 2 amazing rescue labs Ellie and Bobby that get along really well with other dogs. I also volunteer with Companion Pet Rescue. I am flexible with my schedule on the weekends and will try my best to accommodate your needs. Just let me know what services you are looking for and I will confirm my availability. I have a fenced in yard which my dogs love to play in. I also take them for walks, runs, or hikes! My home is very clean and quiet. Making it a safe space for your pets that you can feel comfortable leaving them.
“Ian went above and beyond to be able to watch my two dogs, was super sweet and kept me in the loop with text and conversation throughout his stay. So happy to have found him. Thank you again, Ian!”
About: My name is Katie and I have dogs of my own. With that being said, I understand that each pet truly needs unique and individual care. I am a teacher and have been for the past 13 years. I take care of pets in my spare time in order to earn some extra money. I can provide references upon request from families who had me take care of their dogs and cats in the past. Thank you for considering me as a potential care giver for your pet! I am a teacher so during the school year I am available late afternoons during the week and am also available on the weekend. I am more available during the summer. I care for pets of my clients the same way that I care for my own. The pets’ safety and well-being are my top priority.
“Lauryn did a great job for us by feeding our dog, and taking him for quick walks 2x a day. She also came over during a major storm, and checked the house for us when we lost power. She informed us of anything needed and did a great job communicating with us for anything if needed. Thanks very much!”
“Zach was an outstanding sitter for my two cats. Although they are very shy one started to warm up to him by the end of the week! Zach even swept up the litter that they tracked on the floor. Will 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 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.

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 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.
