“Dave checked in on our cats over 11 days while we were visiting family. He made sure they were happy and healthy, and sent us great+detailed updates. We will be booking again if the need arises.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have classes Monday through Friday, generally between 10 AM and 1 PM, although my class times vary by day. I’m available to help before and after my classes, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need! Because I have two cats at home who don’t get along with dogs, I don’t offer pet care in my apartment. Instead, I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and have owned several pets myself. I’ve had a Siamese cat and a Russian Blue, and I currently have a dachshund. As an animal science student preparing for a career in veterinary medicine, I’m passionate about giving pets loving, reliable, and attentive care. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available to help with weekday or weekend care depending on the service, and I make time for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and attentive environment, and I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me.
About: I’ve had the joy of being the on-call sitter for a family for over 10 years, taking care of their special needs cats, feral cats, and senior dog. I have walked the dogs of my senior neighbors for years before owning my own sweet black lab. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, senior or puppy. I’m currently working part time after moving to Minnesota from Illinois. I am available in the mornings to early afternoon through the week and weekend. I am a reliable sitter with years of experience in emergency medicine, I do not practice in the field anymore but I am someone you can trust and count on. I can easily crate your dog if provided!
“Phenomenal sitter. Showed so much love, care, and attention towards my cat. She did such a great job looking out for him. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was doing well with him.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born! I currently have 2 dogs, a chinchilla, and a hamster! I have grown up taking care of my dogs, along with all my other pets along the years! I have cat experience, as my brother has 2 and my roommates and I have fostered cats. I am a student, so I have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with a gap in the late morning/early afternoon. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are open, along with my weekends! I am easily available to come to your home to care for your dog! I can crate, feed, walk, etc. with no problem. I currently live in an apartment with 3 other girls. Caring for your pet at my apartment may not be feasible, but is something I am definitely open to talking about, if needed!
“Bridgett was able to accommodate a last minute request which really got us out of a jam! Bleu connected with her immediately and we felt very comfortable he was in good hands! Will definitely use her again!”
“Miri was AMAZING with my two kitty girls! She went above and beyond - took great care of them. She was very communicative & took so many photos (in which the girls looked SO relaxed - my senior cat even came out for visits which is very unusual, sitters rarely see her)! My only complaint is that I wish I had booked her sooner during my time at PSU - she is a fantastic sitter who has her own cats & really has such a good vibe! Thank you Miri!!!! 🫶🏻🐾”
About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
“Crystal was so sweet and kind! She sent many photos and videos of our cat and even offered to go above and beyond our expectations. Overall, she was a great sitter and this was honestly the best experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Highly recommend!!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. At home, I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to a family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work another job so I’ll make sure I have time to care for your furry family members I can do late at night or early morning drop ins I will treat them like they are my own pets I will keep you updated and send pictures I will keep your furry family members safe
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Park Forest Village
Our kitten, elderly golden, and my partner and I love Katrina! She is very communicative and reliable, and we feel very comfortable with and look forward to her taking care of our cat and dog. We’ve used her services a few times now and will continue to do so. Highly recommend!
Couldn’t recommend Bailee highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with a couple extra things I needed help with as well which was nice She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you’re looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) I’d definitely recommend Bailee.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
