“Jaycee was great to work with! We appreciated her enthusiasm to work with our cats. Jaycee was very flexible and communicative with us which made it a breeze to work with her. She is very experienced with cats which made us more at ease with having her take care of them. She even persisted with attempting to give our grumpy old cat medicine. We would absolutely recommend Jaycee and use her services again in the future.”
“Sophia was amazing with my cat! They became very fast friends even though my cat doesn’t usually get along that well with new people. She took very good care of her while we were out, including a detailed daily report with lots of pictures. Booking her was a great decision as I was fully confident that my cat was in good hands on my trip. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for cat care.”
“Got lots of pics and updates on our fur babies. They seemed to be a lot less stressed and happies when they got home. Even D'Argo who is a scardy cat was not as stressed as he was at a kennel. We are very greatful.”
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”
“Emily is the best kitty sitter! She went above and beyond with my two. They tend to hide at first when someone new comes over, but she was so patient with them and quickly brought them out of their shells. She won them over with treats, pets, and even brushes. She was a great communicator from beginning to end—I loved getting her updates and photos. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit nervous going into it. But Emily far exceeded my expectations, and I’m so glad I chose her! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable, trustworthy, and personable pet sitter—she will be my first choice going forward!”
“Amanda is an excellent pet care professional. She’s always on time and was very easy to set up care for my 4 month old puppy. She goes above and beyond, and clearly cares for animals. She was a vet tech and is currently studying to be a vet. Would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for someone who is friendly, trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable with pets.”
“Ella was amazing, I loved how she came and met with my dogs before she started coming. And she was really understanding of one of my doggies being a little scared. But she took the time to let him warm up to her and get comfortable and for that I’m really appreciative. I definitely recommend booking with Ella and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Emily provided phenomenal service. Took care of my little kitten as if it were her own. She also took the time to send me regular updates on my kitten’s eating and playing. Would highly recommend using her services. I know she’ll be my first call to look after my boy, always.”

About: I've had pets from large dogs to as small as hamsters my entire life. Im currently a vet tech so my whole life revolves around pets and giving medications is not an issue for me They would be taken care of (fed, medicated, and put for potty breaks/litter boxes cleaned) before I go to work in the morning and then will have my full attention after work. Pets boarding at my house will have the guest bedroom to stay in when im not home or to be by themselves if that's what they would prefer. They will have a large fully fenced in yard to explore and play with my personal dogs (or again not if that's what they would prefer). My dogs are crate trained so they can be separated if needed.
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life, and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, special needs (lots of medication) dogs, and working with multiple dogs at one time. My favorite part about working with dogs is being able to run and play with them. I am available early mornings and late nights. I also love trail walking/running, so I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need! I follow a rigorous routine of walking/running with my own dogs, and will take the same care with yours! Typically, I work from Tuesday through Saturday in an office. Generally, I can provide morning walks, and afternoon into evening care. Lunch time walks may be dependent of location! Caring for other dogs involves building trust through playtime, walks, and of course, treats! Making sure your dog is comfortable on walks and overnights is the top most priority.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I started volunteering at the SPCA in high school, where I helped walk and bathe dogs, care for cats, and even fostered a variety of pups💕 That experience sparked my love for pet care, and I began pet sitting for friends and family! I also worked professionally as a dog bather, gaining hands on experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two cats and two dogs, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own❤️ I recently got a new job at a doggy daycare! I work 8 hour shifts but my schedule varies week by week. I am always available overnight! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my clients, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment💕 I give plenty of attention, keep things clean (litter boxes, food bowls, bedding etc) and always make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I've grown up in a house with animals constantly. At 1 point, having more than 10 animals in a house. We had cats, pigs, dogs and fish. As well as some reptiles and ferrets. It's genuingly one of the most enjoyable things in the world playing and figuring out what animals love. Especially as they get to know, you and warm up to you. I currently am in full-time school so a good portion of my time is spent studying or working. My schedule right now is flexible because I'm in between jobs. I'm free to go over to anyone's house and I am willing to carry first aid kit and have a vehicle in case of emergencies, like they need to go to an ER. I have a flexible schedule for anyone willing as well as know basic wound care and distribution of medication as well. If I had to take care of quite a bit of sick animals and I know the routine of keeping track of symptoms and documentation.
About: I have always had pets in my household growing up and I have two wonderful cats of my own now. I would love to help take care of yours when needed! Hi there-I am currently available for drop in visits through out the day as my schedule varies most days. I also have weekend availability when I am in town. Sometimes I travel and then I use pet sitters for my own kitties :) I am currently available for drop in visits. I would love to help take care of your pet when needed. Also available to meet prior to scheduled visit(s)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Palm Bay
This is my first time using Rover and I feel like I hit the jackpot! I went on a cruise and was really nervous about being so far away and connection issues etc. After 24 hours I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to relax and have fun. My elderly cat is sassy and very demanding but Sophia handled it like a champ and made sure to give me really detailed updates so I never had to worry about a thing.
ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)

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.
