“Rebecca is a fantastic pet sitter! Her communication with us was exemplary. She sent us a note every morning before she went over to our house, and then more notes and photos as she cared for our two cats. She followed our instructions to a T, and we returned to two happy cats! We definitely will ask her to cat-sit for us again! Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Kimberly was an outstanding sitter and we are so happy we found her. From the 1st time we made contact, she responded very quickly to our request and was clear about how she works. In the meet & greet, she had insightful questions and we discussed everything we needed to cover without rush. It was clear that making us feel comfortable was her priority. During her stay at our house, Kimberly was as communicative as she could possibly be. I asked her for tons of pictures, and she delivered. She is also hilarious and the updates came with very funny captions. She is also a very kind soul who treated our babies as if they were hers. From day one, we could tell how comfortable our kitties were, acting and posing as they normally do with us. When we could not imagine things could go any better after her five day stay at our house, we arrived to an impeccable house. She cleaned way more than she needed to. Our kitties were so relaxed and happy. We will 100% book her next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much Kimberly!”
“Miah did a great job taking care of our senior kitty, Miss Sophie. She was prompt, reliable, detail oriented, and readily asked questions which I appreciate. She took care of extras like getting our mail and washing up Sophie’s dishes. She spent time getting to know Sophie and Sophie sensed that she was a cat lover. Thank you Miah!”
“Lucia was a great care giver my dogs loved her & looked forward to seeing her everyday. She was teaching maya some basic commands since she doesn't know anything yet. We are very pleased with her service”
About: I’ve always grown up around animals, mostly rescues of all kind! I have experience in various ages of animals as well. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and much more for their pets for years. I would love to help you and your fury friend out! Pet care fits naturally into my life! I work full time, and about 40% of the month I have the flexibility to work from anywhere — meaning I can be present and attentive when it matters most. I love using my time before and after work to care for animals — it’s something I genuinely look forward to. For me, it’s not just a service, it’s a chance to connect with each pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. At my home in Spring Green, we offer plenty of space for animals to roam and explore — we live on over an acre with a portion of our yard fenced in and a screened-in porch, so pets have secure, fresh-air access no matter the weather. The space and security truly make the opportunities for pets endless! When visiting a client’s home, I follow your pet’s existing routine closely, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment with minimal disruption.
“Hailey was truly EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter for our two cats and parrot while we were away for almost a week. She was an excellent communicator, totally reliable and responsible, and she she took such excellent and fun pictures and notes during our time away. Hailey is a genuinely sweet and compassionate person as well. We will definitely hire her again, and recommend her to all of you who love your pets as much as we do!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I also did dog obedience and agility in 4-h. I love getting out to go for walks. I enjoy my time outdoors. I am open to any day of the week at any time. I often get my dog out three times a day for a walk. Depending on the day with my husband schedule, I would need to work around that. I have one dog that is very friendly and high energy at times. She likes to play a little rough and loves making new friends. I get her out 3-4 times a day. Rather that is for an hour long walk or even just going to the bathroom.
“Lensy did a great job pet sitting at our house for three nights. She sent a lot of pictures that showed that Reggie was having a good time. We came home to a happy cat and our house was just as we had left it. We greatly appreciated her services!”
About: I am 37 and have worked professionally with dogs for 10 years during my 20s. I began working in a boarding and daycare facility when I was 18. Since that time I have worked for other kennels as I have moved. I received my training certification in 2010 from Animal Behavior College and volunteered extensively at a shelter in Kansas City. I have volunteered with numerous rescue groups providing training and foster homes along with many boarding facilities. I love pet sitting and getting the opportunity to make a animals happy while their parents are away- all the rewards of being the fun aunt :) Experience with pets who have medications/diabetes/special needs. HOUSE SITTING: I work from home, with appointments throughout the day so your pets won't be left alone for long. I am flexible fitting into your pets routines, watering plants, and any other up-keeps that need done while you are away. A majority of the time I work from home while having occasional appointments out of the home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to ensure that your pet gets 1:1 time and gets outside when needed. I like to follow my clients routines so their pet can predict as much as possible. My experience has given me a little bit of the super power to predict the future, which leads to me to taking extra safety steps “just in case”
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Amanda, and I have over 16 years of experience caring for animals. I completed Veterinary Assistant coursework at Madison College and have worked in dog daycare, pet care, and grooming environments. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also enjoy sending photos and updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I work full-time caring for animals and am available for pet care before and after work, on weekends, and on many holidays. Pet sitting has been a part of my life for over 16 years, and I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and helping owners feel comfortable while they are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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 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 .
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 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.
