“Linda did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away. She also went above and beyond basic needs, which I am truly grateful for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“My dogs loved her immediately! A wonderful, professional- couldn’t have asked for more. Pictures and check ins. My dogs were happy when I got home well taken care of.”
“I had a great mini-vacation because all my pets were very well taken care of. I'm even planning my next vacation and I want Brittany to pet sit because my animals definitely loved her. Some pet sitters before never even saw my cats, but Brittany saw all of them and even got to pet and love on them. That to me means a lot! My almost 15 year old dog was very well cared for and Brittany definitely showed patience with her. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“I always go with James he's reliable and my skiddish cat loves him. I had to go on a last minute trip to visit family and he was quick at meeting up and taking care of my pets.”
“Hannah is awesome and so good with our animals! They warmed up to her right away, even our super shy kitty. She is very thorough and not afraid to ask questions to make sure the animals are taken care of perfectly. She was very patient and easy going after we had some issues with getting her in the house. Will definitely be my go to sitter for my fur babies from now on.”
“Always have a great experience. I travel at very strange times often with about 3 hours notice. Never had an issue with response time, ability to come by or treatment of my sweet Zoe girl. Thank you!”
“Jessica has always been excellent dropping in to take care of our pets. She is great at communicating and we always appreciate the many pictures she shares. We can't recommend her enough.”
“Jennifer was great with Shadow and all the updates made it alot easier to not have loads of guilt being away. I am definitely planning to booking with Jennifer again.”
“Best sitter you can ask for. Shemoy would drop in for a visit to check on my babies. She’d make sure they got exercise, cleaned any messes, and sent the cutest photos on her way out. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Moved to California, MD area from being stationed in Japan! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteered with the Red Cross animal visitation program while Active Duty & St Mary Animal Humane Society. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home for safety & use cameras to check in on them.
“Jordan has become our go to for taking care of our girls. I honestly feel like they enjoy it when we leave now cause they get time w their back up human. As always, Thank you Jordan!”

“Stephanie was AMAZING!! She made us feel so comfortable. She was so prompt with check-in and updates. Our dog has seizures and she was knowledgeable and willing to accommodate that! 12/10 recommend”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly love being around pets of every size and personality. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with all breeds from small dogs and seniors to high-energy pups and big lovable goofballs. I live with dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are. I give every pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own. Caring for pets is naturally built into my day because I already have animals of my own. I plan my mornings, afternoons, and evenings around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m very flexible, so I can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and needs Safety and trust come first. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding schedules, walk routes, crate rules, and any house preferences. I always keep doors locked, double-check leashes and harnesses, and never rush a pet. I give each animal a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and understood.
About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!
“Mary Rose took great care of my kitties. They were not intimidated by her presence and allowed her to take pictures and get petted. She is very professional, calm and compassionate. I will contact her if I need her another time.”
“Amazing dog sitter!! Emilie kept us updated at every visit with our dogs. She really went above and beyond for our dogs and we can't thank her enough for all that she did while we were away. Also, the pictures were so great to receive. Thanks again for putting our worries at ease. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!”

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.

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.
