“Marry always takes such great care of our cat Salem. She comes in gives her wet food and plays with Salem. I noticed our cat really started warming up to Marry and got excited when she came to visit. We are going to miss marry as we are moving, but we booked her twice and she did a great job every single time. Once again, thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while traveling. We knew Salem was in great hands when marry was pet sitting her ❤️”
About: I'm a dog mom myself & I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care requires total peace of mind, which is why I prioritize strict attention to routine, safety, and proactive communication. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.
“Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats. She took it in stride that Zoe chose to hide under the bed every time she came to feed them. (Of course she came out on the last day.). Buddy chose to hide for several days too, and she spent time in our cluttered basement trying to lay eyes on him. Eventually he softened up though. Sammy was all in from the beginning, and he loves Lindsey. She spent time playing with the two boys, and made sure their wack-a-mole toy was charged up. She very thoughtfully left lights on inside the house for our return, which we greatly appreciated, as our flight was delayed and we didn't get home until 2am. So nice to not come home to a dark house, and everything looked really good. Lindsey is wonderful!”
“David is the perfect sitter! You can tell he really knows and loves cats. I treat my cats like babies, and I felt totally safe having him look after them. He was so caring and made sure they were comfortable. I’m really grateful for the peace of mind he gave me!🐈🐈⬛”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families pets for years now. Mostly walking and playing with them, but occasionally administering medication as well. Super detail oriented so happy to follow the needs of your pets! I am currently in grad school once or twice a week at night while working part time. It gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to hang with your babies. My kitties are spoiled with lots of toys and trees and scratching posts. Any dog I see will be greeted and played with immediately when permitted by the owner. Truly just want any pet to know they are cared for and valued.
“Kelsey was wonderful! From our initial consultation, I knew she was the perfect person to care for our snuggly kitty, Biscuit. While we were on vacation, she was incredibly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos. I felt completely secure, happy, and relieved knowing Biscuit was in such caring hands. It was clear Kelsey genuinely cared about her and made sure she got plenty of attention and love. I would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely book her again!”
“Lauren is a great cat sitter!! She checked in on our two cats during an extended trip, and she always made sure to send updates and pictures which was very appreciated. You can tell she has a lot of experience and really loves cats. Lauren is responsive, trustworthy, and friendly, and I’m glad our cats were in very good hands!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love spending time with them in my free time! My daughter loves cats and dogs! Currently working 745am-345pm Monday-Friday. Can care for your pet before and after work! I also get a long lunch break would be able to check on them during then too! I have a large unfenced yard but willing to take dog to a fenced yard if needed! My daughter and I love spending time with animals.
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Esosa was amazing! From the moment she came to the meet and greet, I knew she would be a great fit. My dog has a lot of high energy, but she was so patient and willing to be gentle with her. She was punctual and made sure she showed up when she was supposed to. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog had everything she needed, and I was so touched by the photos she left and her handwritten note. I’ve never had a caregiver on Rover do such a thing. I would recommend her to everyone.”
About: I’ve taken care or both cats and dogs for 14 years since I was 5. I’ve learned pets body language over the years and know just want they need . I have free time during the week to stay with your pets for a few hours and over the weekends I have can stay overnight to look after them. I will stay where I can see them when I am over and if they need their space I will allow them that but they are always monitored and if they go silent I will check on them constantly.
About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love them so much! I have experience pet sitting for families all over my neighborhood and can even administer medications if needed. I would love to help take care of your pet! I’m a full time medical student, but love dogs and cats so I am extremely flexible and willing to take time out of my day to walk your dog or spend time with your cat. I am very familiar with skiddish dogs as both of my own are rescues. I will be sure to keep dogs on a leash at all times and walk them in safe areas.
“Sydney took great care of our three cats while we were away for two weeks. I was really nervous leaving them behind but they were well taken care of and got comfortable with Sydney pretty quickly. Sydney sent lots of pictures and did a great job keeping us updated. I think the kitty gang would love to have her back anytime!”
About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life, including neighbor’s, family’s, and friends’ pets! I have experience with senior dogs and puppies with my own dogs. I have cared for creatures of all kinds including dogs, cats, fish, birds, bunnies, and more! I recently graduated high school and am available for most of the summer and over my school breaks. During the summer, I occasionally babysit and I volunteer at a dojo on Saturday mornings. I only have a few small vacations so I am free the majority of the time. I have a dog of my own and do not want to risk conflicts so I am offering services that do not require pets to visit my home. I have a background in teaching so I am very observant and energetic if needed so your pet will have someone to watch them and play with them. I love being outside so I will gladly take your pet on walks and play with them outside.
About: Thank you for choosing me! My name is Sarah, and I am a second year law student at Duquesne University! I grew up with 4 Pitbulls and had regular dog sitting clients since I was 13 years old. I am truly at my happiest around animals, and I hope you would consider me to take care of yours. With over 9 years of experience caring for both my own pets and clients’ beloved companions, I’ve made pet care my passion. Whether it’s dog walking, jogging, bathing, or simply providing companionship, I ensure pets feel comforted, cared for, and loved in their humans' absence. I also provide photos and multiple updates throughout the day, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing, even when you’re away. Additionally, I’m a great option for last-minute bookings, offering flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I offer complimentary meet and greets, either in person or via FaceTime, to ensure a good fit for both you and your pet. I am a law student at Duquesne University! I will not be in class for more than 4 hours a day, so that will be the maximum time I would be away! For Doggy Day Care: If you are needing care during my class hours, I only live 5 minutes from campus and have more than enough time in between classes to run home and provide care. I am committed to ensuring your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Whether playing outside or relaxing indoors, I’m happy to spend hours engaging with your pet, tailoring activities to their energy levels and preferences. I have experience managing safety concerns such as monitoring dogs who eat too quickly, administering medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. My goal is to make your dog feel special—like they’re on their own vacation while you’re away. I prioritize their well-being by creating a day filled with play, love, and attention. From games of fetch to calming cuddle time, I ensure every moment is designed to make your pet feel secure and cared for.
“Kristie provided amazing service while caring for our 17 year-old cat while we were on vacation. She gave him lots of attention and was always on-time with giving him his medication that he needs twice a day. She gave us peace of mind knowing that he was being very well cared for. We will definitely use Kristie for pet sitting again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Attention to detail and timeliness and super important to me. Trust me and I’ll watch your loved one like a member of my family. I work a simple 8-5 Monday-Friday. Looking to add a second income during these trying times. I do not do anything halfway. You’ll get the best service and communication you’ve received, which will make it hard to use anyone else after. 3-4 walks per day as well as at least 30 minutes of play time fully dedicated to my pup where he can let out all of his energy. I can tailor my routine to whatever your animals need.

So grateful Yasmeen could watch my bunny again on short notice! I swear my girl looks a little disappointed when she sees me come home after my trip and I’m not Yasmeen lol. I always look forward to the photos I receive during drop ins and I can tell my Truffle really loves her visits!
This is the second time Laurel has watched our cats for us, and as long as she’s available, she’s who we will always go to! Laurel clearly cares for our animals when we’re away, and does the extra little things too. She peeped that we had a thirsty plant and gave it some water during her check in too!

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.

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.
