“My cats seemed very happy and fat when we came home, clearly well taken care of while we were away! Jessica was attentive, played with them daily, cleaned up spoons/etc. I was very happy with her help! :)”
About: I've had animals for as long as I can remember, and feel comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule that allows for midday visits and walks, and plenty of TLC. For boarding: I provide a private room with everything they need to ensure comfort and consistency. If you desire to bring items from home to keep your animals more comfortable & in routine, it can be arranged! I currently work from home, and therefore am able to flex my schedule to fit to your pet needs- however, I am out of the house Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for extended periods of time. I live in a quiet neighborhood, but I'm in the city. My apartment is in a multi family home that has with multiple hallways and doors before you can reach the outside. I keep pets in a completely separate area than my own in order to maintain their comfort and safety.
About: I've had pets my whole life and have spent the last 30 years caring for my own, as well as the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. Pets aren't just pets—they're family! They deserve lots of love, attention, and cuddles, and that's exactly how I believe they should be treated. Now that I'm retired, I thought what better way to spend my time than doing something I truly love—being around animals and caring for them! I know leaving your pets when you go away isn't easy, and you want to know they're happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel comfortable and loved in their own home. I'll treat them like my own and give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while you're away. I'm retired, so my schedule is flexible and open! I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I'm happy to work with your pets routines and do my best to keep them happy while you're away. I would love to care for your pets and keep your home safe while you're away! To make sure your pets stay happy and comfortable in their normal routine I will ask about their feeding schedules, medication needs, favorite walk times, and where they like to sleep at night. It is also good to know how they like to socialize with other dogs/cats. I will always treat your home with respect and will love keeping you connected with plenty of photos and text updates so you can travel with total peace of mind. Feel free to message me with your dates and we can set up a meet & greet and get to know you and your pets!
“Allison was wonderful! She was extremely reliable and sent me an update with pictures every day, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cats and even went above and beyond by collecting my mail and taking my trash and recycling to the curb. It was so nice knowing that both my cats and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Allison and would happily have her care for my cats again!”
“Melanie was wonderful from the start. She was in contact with us shortly after booking and then again before we left. She kept us updated everyday while we were away and made sure our cats were taken care of. Our experience with her was great and we will definitely use her again!”
“Alana was a great sitter! My cat loved her. PB is an elderly cat who needs two types of medication. Alana was able to administer both whilst making her comfy! Will definitely book again”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I’m no stranger to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and the occasional pet with a mind of its own. I also regularly care for my grandmother’s cats whenever she’s away, giving me experience looking after pets that aren’t my own. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to relax with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has a great time. I work for USPS, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. On my days off and during my free time, I love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll be there on time and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’m a proud cat parent to four amazing kitties! I truly love spending quality time with my fur babies—whether we’re relaxing at home or even going on the occasional car ride together. I grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped family and friends care for their pets while they’re out of town, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and even reptiles. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your cat’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, making sure doors and windows are secure, monitor food and water intake, keep litter boxes clean, and provide enrichment and play based on your cat’s personality and energy level.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely just loves spending time with the cats. I currently work full time, so I’m especially interested in occasional or short term cat sitting gigs that need 1–2 visits. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your kitty is doing well while you’re away. I am comfortable playing with active cats, or giving your shy cat space and distance. Whatever makes them comfortable! I’m mainly looking to pick up a few local gigs here and there, and honestly, the extra kitty time is a pretty great bonus. I work full time, so I am just looking for occasional local gigs that require 1-2 visits a day. I have my own dog at home as well. I will care for your cats and home as if they were my own. I love a list, and keep to whatever routine makes this time easier for your kitty.
About: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in fourth grade. I enjoy working with high energy dogs and can handle dogs of all sizes. I’m currently a student at Bentley University with a reasonably open schedule. I can tend to pet needs during the weekdays and on the weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable, attentive care in a calm, positive environment, making sure every walk is safe, engaging, and stress-free. You can trust that your dog will be treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d give my own.
“Leslie was the best communicator and cat sitter during my time away from Louie. She kept me posted on his activities. I was excited to see daily pics of him. She earned my trust and I will go with her again and again and again. Thanks! Renee & Louie”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and caring for dogs and small animals of all kinds. From playful Pomeranians to loyal Golden Retrievers—and even the occasional curious cat—I’ve built lasting bonds through trust, compassion, and consistency. Certified in Canine CPR through Active Paws, I bring both heart and safety to every service I offer. My loyal companion, a spirited Miniature Pinscher named Stanley Luke, is often right by my side. At Chanley’s K9 Kreation, I provide trusted in-home care, feeding, and walking for dogs and cats, as well as pickup and drop-off for vet appointments and yard cleanup for dog waste—so your pets stay happy, healthy, and cared for. A structured daily pet care routine includes regular feeding, exercise, grooming, and playtime to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy. Consistent walks, bathroom breaks, and interactive activities help provide mental and physical stimulation, while quiet time and affection build trust and comfort. With me, your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for. I strive to ensure that every animal feels loved and has fun in my care. For references or inquiries, please contact Chanleysk9kreation.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me
About: Hi, I’m Jay! If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, you’ve come to the right place. Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and everything in between, and I truly believe every pet deserves personalized care, lots of love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cuddle buddy, playtime, meals, medication, a bath, or just someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I’m here to help! Long haired pups or kitties that hate being brushed? No problemo! I’m happy to tackle the fluff so you don’t have to. 😊 One thing that sets me apart is that I’m constantly learning. I love researching animal behavior, enrichment, nutrition, and the best ways to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe and comfortable. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, so I’ll care for your baby like they’re my own. You can expect plenty of updates, adorable photos, and the peace of mind that your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your bestie! 🤍 Caring for pets has always been part of my daily routine. I attend college so I’m able to give your babies attention, care, and playtime before class, in between, and during study time! I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with my own cats and making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for. I only accept bookings that fit my schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make the experience easy for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’ll send lots of updates and pictures (because I know I’d want them too!) so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. Whether your pet is super energetic, a little shy, or just wants someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very detail oriented and always pay attention to things like securely closing doors and gates, keeping dogs safely leashed on walks, and making sure your pet is happy and comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and feel confident that they were treated like family while you were away.
“Carina was so great! From booking to sitting, the experience with Carina was so smooth. She started off the booking by setting up I meet and greet with us so she got to know our pup prior to watching him. I loved that! She was so sweet and clicked with him immediately. For the sitting, she was thoughtful, on time, and provided the most thorough notes and pics that we really appreciated! In the rare moment she was late, she made sure to reach out ahead of time to let us know. She’s the best! Thank you Carina!”

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 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.

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 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.
