“Nathalie was very kind and patient with our pup, and great at communicating with us despite a 6 hour time difference. Very reliable and trustworthy, will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Rene was lovely. She was kind, timely, responsive, and I very much trusted her with my cat. My cat was a brat, and she was very sweet about the situation. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“My three kitties were well taken care of. Luna, my moo cat, loves her. Jean-Luc welcomes her and loves his treats. My third kitty hides regardless of who visits but Alex always gets a picture of her.”
“Mona visited our cat at our home while we were away and provided daily updates and videos. We felt comforted knowing that our cat was being cared for by a very responsible and caring individual. We would not hesitate to call Mona again.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Along with dogs, I've cared for cats throughout my life and have completed extended cat-sitting assignments lasting up to 8 months. My animal experience doesn't stop there—I have also cared for exotic pets, including lizards, reptiles, and birds, and have owned birds myself. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I pride myself on adapting my care to each pet's personality and routine. One of my specialties is working with larger reactive dogs. As the owner of a reactive dog myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and maintaining a safe environment. Safety is something I take extremely seriously—for your pet, for myself, and for everyone around us. I always follow owner instructions carefully and prioritize responsible handling practices during walks, drop-ins, and house sits. Over the years, I've provided house-sitting and drop-in care for many friends and their pets, giving me experience adapting to different homes, schedules, and care requirements. Whether your pet needs a high-energy play session, medication reminders, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. As an added bonus, my apartment complex has a dog washing station available for baths if requested. I also love building genuine bonds with the animals I care for and occasionally leave owner-approved treats or small gifts for pets I've gotten to know well. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaled family members! My schedule is perfect for pet care throughout the week! I'm available on weekdays before 10:00 AM and again after 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide care at any time of day. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible, whether they need an early morning visit, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Feel free to reach out with your needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I provide pet care directly in your home, helping your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. This includes drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and any other routine care your pet needs. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress for pets, especially cats and animals that do better with consistency. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure everything stays as close to their normal routine as possible while you're gone.
“Samantha! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs Harry Stanley and De Niro received! Our dog care taker went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and well taken care of while we were away for our wedding. Samantha was incredibly punctual, reliable, and genuinely attentive to our boys’ needs. Knowing they were in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind on our special day and throughout our time away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — she truly made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog care taker!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have worked at a doggy day camp where I got to care for and play with all different sizes and breeds of dogs and I love every single one of them! I have experience with giving medication orally as well as ear drops and medicated pads do the pups who have those adorable wrinkly faces <3 I currently work a full time job but I am available usually any time after 4pm and weekends. I am able to travel a little longer distance and have no issues with that. I prefer to care for pets in their own home as that’s where they feel comfortable. I treat all pets as if they were my own and give them all the loves!
“Excellent! Ken was responsive, friendly, reliable and accommodating. He took care of the food and water for our cat, collected mail for us and even retrieved an unexpected package delivered while we were on vacation. Definitely recommend.”
“Susan was great! I felt safe with her taking care of my cat while I was away overseas. She was communicative the entire time, very responsive, left me daily notes on time, and my cat seemed to have had a great time with her. Would book again :)”
“Anum quickly became loved by our 4 dogs and 2 cats. She easily remembered all the details of their feeding and schedule. She fed the entire crew and kept them all happy during a long Easter Weekend. Our emotionally needy GSP and barky Aussie became good friends with Anum. Even our very shy dog came out of her shell !”
“Jess was awesome! Great with the dog and very responsive to messages. Reached out last minute, on a holiday weekend and she was able to accommodate with zero hesitation. 100% recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I have cared for German Shepherds as well as smaller dogs, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine. I am also a lifelong dog owner, currently caring for a Dachshund and a Labrador Retriever. Having dogs with different energy levels has given me experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to patience, training reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I also have experience with senior dog care and understand the extra patience and attention older dogs may need, including maintaining routines, providing a comfortable space, and being attentive to changes in behavior or mobility. I treat every pet like they are my own and will make sure your furry family member receives the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I am currently a college student, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. During the summer, I work at a camp, but I am available for scheduled walks, drop-in visits, and pet care around my work hours. I am responsible, organized, and will always communicate clearly to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained. I am happy to work with each owner’s schedule to provide reliable care, attention, and plenty of love for their pets. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I will provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving space where pets can receive individualized attention, playtime, and care. I have two dogs of my own, a Dachshund and a Labrador Retriever, who are both friendly and have never had issues with other dogs. I understand the importance of proper introductions and making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet has different personalities and needs, and I will make sure they feel welcomed and cared for as if they were my own.
“Absolutely the best Pet Sitter ever. I did not worry one second about my fur babies. She communicated everyday even though they didn’t always cooperate 🤦♀️. Definitely glad we found her and will be calling her anytime we travel. So awesome to be able to leave my babies with someone I know will take such exceptional care of them. Thank you 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 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.
