“This was our first time using Rover. After several days of reviewing profiles we decided to reach out to Andrea. We knew we made the right choice from the moment she messaged us back. She immediately asked about a meet and greet. One of our cats has a gastrointestinal medical issue that requires daily medicine. And all of our cats are extremely high maintenance and picky. Andrea stayed for an hour learning about their eating patterns and daily medicine routine for our youngest cat. While we were gone Andrea took excellent care of our babies. We came home to happy relaxed cats. We will definitely be using Andrea again for our next trip.”
About: I had two dogs growing up I loved so much. My friends and family run to me when they have any type of dog service needed as they know I love animals. I have done plenty of walks, overnight services, and drop-ins. I adore dogs so so much and have a strong passion to give them top quality care as if they were my very own! I walk, sit, and board dogs full time. I take pet care as a seriously job. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and in between! I have open availability and aside of that am a stay at home mom. I recently moved away from my childhood home where we had to dogs. But I would go on walks with them every single day and took care of a lot of their daily needs. I treat every single dog as if they were my own. I truly believe dogs are not just pets but are family members who deserve the same level and care as a child.
“Jessica is amazing. I finally was able to go away for a few days. I’m always worried about my one diabetic cat. Jessica handled everything perfectly. I will definitely be using her again now that I have the freedom to travel! FYI - She took care of all 3 fur babies!”
“Mackenzie has always watched our feisty, 7 yr old cat & she was very quickly able to warm up to our new, little Daisy! She watched the girls through the holidays & it was obvious from the photos how much they love her!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve raised and puppy-trained dogs, have experience with exotic animals, and understand that every pet is different. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m free all day Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I only work a short evening shift, and on weekends I work until about 4:30pm. That leaves me with lots of time to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment community has a fenced dog park for safe outdoor play, along with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks. While my apartment is on the smaller side, your pet will have lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and one on attention during their stay.
About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs through Rover and for family and friends. I’ve looked after all kinds of pups from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. I give plenty of attention and snuggles, make sure they get gentle exercise, and keep their space comfortable and cozy. My goal is for every pup to feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“We had an incredible experience with Nathalia on Rover! She was very caring and maintained excellent communication! We especially appreciated that she sent us pictures of our babies; it gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Additionally, she was able to accommodate us for an extra day at the last minute! We will definitely book her again without hesitation 😻 Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve owned various animals almost my entire life, and have always jumped to help out family and friends when needed on their days out. Truly spending time with animals is a big joy of mine :)) I currently work full time during the week, but i’m free on weekends for over night sittings or just regular walks. Week night walks are great for me too :) I understand dogs can get a little rowdy sometimes but I will be very careful when playing, and keep my best to have them entertained and well fed :) I’ve always grown up with pets, one of my own being 18 years old and still kicking today! He is blind now but he’s still thriving and running around as if he were a baby. He truly is a big part of why i’m so fond of taking care of animals as he was my very first fur baby!

“Emily was awesome! Came before to visit the babies before our actual dates needed and then took great care of them during the entire visit. Would definitely use her again when we travel!”
“Eva pays attention to detail!! She is thorough and kind and the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! I left for an extended weekend and got to really enjoy my family knowing my cats were completely taken care of. One of my cats has a critical heart condition and Eva never flinched about giving him his meds and I knew I could trust her with the task and be able to enjoy my time away! She handled it like a pro! Thank you Eva!”

Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Melissa is such an amazing sitter. My cats are usually too shy to let anyone near them, but they both approached her during the walkthrough and were very social with her while we were away. She did an excellent job giving them both their medications, and an even better job soothing my anxious cat mommy nerves. Highly, highly recommend Melissa and will 100% rebook if we are fortunate enough to hire her again!
Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.
Shannon is amazing! I am a repeat customer and so impressed with her patience, empathy for a skittery kitty around strangers She got Gabbie to come out of hiding and take a squeezy pouch, multiple days! Gabbie was comfortable and responsive, so Shannon has the touch! She sent lots of pictures every day

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.
