“Summer was awesome. She came by early to meet the dogs and learn our daily routine with the dogs. Our younger dog was a bit difficult, and she is very scared of new people. But Summer was very patient and worked hard to keep Skye with going outside to potty and to eat. Towards the end of the week Skye finally came around to Summer and they seemed very happy to see Summer come in the house, based on photos sent. Thank you for your help!!”
About: Hello! My name is Brianna! I have a French bulldog named Stella who is my world! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds! I also don’t mind helping out with other animals in your home! My personal dog takes daily medication so if that’s something your pet needs I’m used to that already! I'm currently working shift work with a pretty flexible schedule. My days off and hours always change. Please reach out and we can figure out how I can best take care of your pets. I understand that pets are family members. I will make sure that they are taken out at the agreed upon times. I can send you photos throughout their care. I want to take the stress away from you while you are away knowing that your pet is in great hands.
“Synia A. was fantastic! She was kind, dependable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire pet-sitting experience. She met all my requirements and made sure all of my pet needs were taken care of as well. She also has great communication skills and gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services.”
About: My name is Kelly. I am 28 Currently I am a paramedic. I have always been an animal lover. I have a 10 year old Shetland Sheepdog and 5 cats ! For about 10 years, I have walked and taken care of my neighbors dog when they needed me to for many years. I can do walks and drop ins. Please message me if you think I would be a good fit for you and your furry friend ! I work every other week. So I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I love to get them excited and tired out. I do not do this from home. I am very safe. I will make sure all doors and fences are secure, and watch when I leave.
“Aleyah promptly responded to my last minute request. She’s communicative, and made sure that my cat is taken care of (Food, water and litter box). My cat loved her, I HEARD HER PURRRing on the phone!💙💚 Thank you Aleyah 😻”
“Amber was amazing. Very great communication with pictures as well as letting you know when your animal was fed and how many times they went to the bathroom. She did a meet and greet before I left and you can honestly tell her love for animals. Will not hesitate to use her services again for my Goldie girl.”
“Vanessa is AMAZING! If I could give 10/5 stars, I would. She sent pictures and an update during every visit with our cat and is just so pleasant! I'm a nervous mama who hates leaving her furbabies, and Vanessa made me feel completely at ease. I highly, highly recommend her!”
About: I volunteer at the animal shelter multiple times a week and walk many kinds of dogs or different sizes, energy levels and backgrounds. I love doing it! I work part time but am usually home around 1:30 and am able to walk and take care of dogs full time Friday-Sunday. I have a wide open yard with fully green grass, a 3 story house and live in a neighborhood with side walks and dog parks.
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
About: I've loved pets for as long as I can remember. I have a true passion for caring for any animal in need and will always treat them with the same love and dedication as my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I manage my time carefully to ensure pets get consistent attention, dedicated exercise, timely feedings, and structured drop-in visits or walks throughout the week and on weekends I prioritize the safety, health, and well-being of every pet in my care. I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can relax freely, alongside wholesome, high-quality, non-GMO organic treats and food tailored to their needs!
“Lindsay was great with our two cats when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She took tons of photos and the cats really seemed to like her. We would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone! 😊”
About: I have always loved caring for animals and have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving pets the attention they need. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine so they can feel right at home! I am available most mornings and on most weekdays, with flexibility when needed. I am also happy to care for your pets during holidays when you may need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe and cared for while you are away. I will always follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and provide plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat them and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Ben is absolutely wonderful! He took such good care of our two senior cats! If you want your pet to be cared for by someone who is attentive, kind, and loves pets- Ben is your pick! Thanks again!!”
About: I've owned dogs and cats most of my life and I love all types of animals! I currently have a German Shepherd, with alot of energy and a cat who matches that energy, so high energy pets are no problem! I can handle all types of dogs both large and small, young and senior, and enjoy walking them. I'm experienced at delivering medication if needed and I'm happy to feed, walk, play with and care for your animals. My time is flexible during the weekdays and I can be available on most weekends if needed. My goal is to help your animal feel at ease by providing the same loving care you would for them. I've been recently laid off so this has given me more time with my dog Calla. She is walked every day for approximately 3 miles. She loves playing with sticks and toys and also her little brother Jinx the American short haired cat. With this available extra time it gives me flexible hours for house visits and walking throughout the week and some weekends. Both my wife and I care for both of our pets daily which includes walking and playing with them. I am also capable of feeding your pet and administering medications if needed.
“Linda was great! Super responsive, wonderful with the dogs, and sent great pictures so we could see them throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
“Cynthia did an amazing job watching my cat, Rory. She always kept me in the loop and sent picture updates throughout my trip! Will definitely go to her for any pet sitting needs in the future :)! Thank you!”

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

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.
