“Lyndsay is so fantastic! She was able to stop in to check on my pets. My dog takes some time to warm up to people, and Lyndsay gave him the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her. She made sure he ate, got to go outside, and sent pictures and updates and followed his routine perfectly! My very shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello too - highly recommend and would absolutely have Lyndsay watch my pets again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with chihuahuas who were low maintenance and one who was very high maintenance. I took care of my senior dog for 3 years until she passed. I have also pet sat friends dogs and cats over the years and loved every second of it! I would love to know how I can be of help for you and your pet! I have open availability right now. I do classes online and have no other job at the moment. I am a morning person so I can get up as early as you need me. I have 3 kittens who are all under the age of 6 months. They are okay with other cats but not dogs. They are all vaccinated and spayed/neutered. I have a balcony in my apartment where I can arrange space for your fur baby to have room to use the restroom, if not there are plenty of areas to take them in my complex. I have 2 litter boxes for your kitty to use the restroom and places they can spend that are away from the other cats if they don’t mesh well.
“Katherine was great. She filled a last minute need for us over the holiday weekend. She asked a lot of questions - which was great - to make sure we were on the same page. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Fabi is kind and patient with my reactive and scared dogs. It is hard to find a sitter for my dogs because they are not “fun” and need a lot of patience. Fabi accepted the challenge and did a great job with them on her first go. I am booking her weekly.”

“Absolutely fantastic job! I was super nervous at first because this is my first car ever and he is very new to the household, but Angelica did a fantastic job with her check in. She gave tons of updates, photos and videos. She cleaned his litter, played with him a bunch and gave him tons of attention while I was gone. Huge recommend!”

About: Besides being the proud dad of a 2 year old Pitt Bull mix, I have grown up with dogs and raising them from puppies even to when they are old puppers. I have seen and lived with all dog ages and stages. Also with Cats, at one point I lived with 13 of them. No kidding, my parents are big cat lovers and they cared for them as if they were their own children. I am thankful to my parents for providing me a rich life with animals, I have learned countless lessons and experienced much because of the love of animals and humans I am available Monday through Friday at any time you may require help. Let me know what works for you, thank you so much for trusting me with the care of your furry loved one. I personally believe animals of any species, furry or scaly or even with eight eyes, deserve to be treated with the same respect and care as humans do. I love my two cats and my dog as if they were my own children, so you can rest assured that your family will be treated with the utmost care and respect.
“Kiki is great. She was excellent with our dog and went the extra mile during her drop in visit. We will be asking Kiki back for more visits and you should feel confident in hiring her.”
“Cabe helped us feel reassured the minute he met our cats. He was very sweet with them and exhibited a lot of knowledge around cats’ body language and boundaries. One of our cats can be slow to trust and he completely won her over. He sent regular updates and cute pictures which helped put our minds at ease. We were very happy to have had Cabe watch our cats.”
“Brittney was great! I needed a sitter for my foster cats and was worried because I've never had to get an in-house sitter. She was punctual and followed directions, I swear my kitten room was cleaner than when I left! I got tons of cute pictures. I'll definitely contact her again when I need a sitter 🤗”
“This was the 2nd time we have used Vivian. And we are so grateful to have someone so reliable to watch our kitties. She went above and beyond, even bringing a new toy over for the boys to play with. We will be for sure using her services again on our upcoming trips!”
“Sydney was so kind and so attentive! She was super flexible to our needs and super communicative! She made us feel confident our dog was in good hands. We will definitely hire her again in the future!”

Yerim was amazing with our cat while we were on vacation. She was so thoughtful and caring with our shy cat! You can tell she really loves animals! Our cat is shy but by the end of the trip he was greeting Yerim at the door purring! She is also great at communicating and responds very quickly. We loved all the photos and videos she sent of our kitty while we were gone! We knew he was in great hands while we were away. I would 100% book her again!
I’m so grateful to her for taking care of my two cats for almost a month while I was away. When I came home, both cats were happy, calm, and doing just as well as they normally do, which gave me such peace of mind. She also handled an unexpected accident when one of my cats vomited a hairball on the bed blanket, and she took care of it without any hesitation. She was always kind, dependable, and very accommodating whenever I had a special request. I truly appreciate all the care and attention she gave to my cats. I would absolutely book her again the next time I need a cat sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my cats! ❤️🐱🐱
Sarah was AMAZING!! So communicative and eager to go above and beyond for my kitty. My cat doesn’t like new people and Sarah was extremely patient and understanding of her needs. She gave a play by play of what was going on, and offered to clean up the litter and hairball/vomit which happened while she was checking on my cat. Will absolutely book again, and I’d recommend Sarah to anyone needing a drop in sitter.
Jenn, Thank you so much for checking on Pepper while I was in Louisiana. She had a change in her normal behavior while I was away and you kept me updated and were super responsive and generally just wonderful. I really appreciate the pet report card and the pictures and all of it! Thank you so much
We always turn to Ashley first for pet care for our two cats! She is extremely reliable, communicative, kind, reassuring, and proactive. It bring so much peace of mind when she is caring for our cats because we never have to worry, and her communication and thoughtfulness are incredible!
Mirae is the cat whisperer! My kitties are so shy that they hide from everybody. The minute someone comes to the door they are just streaks diving under the bed. But they let Mirae pet them and even asked for attention. Mirae was faithful to the times I requested and sent pictures so I could see how good the kitties were.doing. I will definitely be using Mirae’s services again!
Chandler took excellent care of our senior cat Chonky. She was very attentive to Chonky's needs. She gave him amply play time, brushed him and pet him. She also took care of feeding, giving him water top ups, taking out the trash, cleaning the dishes and litter boxes. She also vacuumed the tracked litter off the floor. We definitely recommend Chandler for your cat care needs!
We went on a trip for a few days and Karyn helped us care for our 5-year old cat, Luna. Karyn is compassionate and loving, who takes great care of Luna. Karyn communicates well and is very responsive. We are 100% satisfied and we would recommend her service to friends.
Akiera was absolutely exceptional. From the start, she was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with cats. She kept us updated consistently with photos and detailed messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was calm, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her presence. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. I would confidently recommend Akiera to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and attentive cat sitter. We will definitely be booking her again.

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 .

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 , 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.
