“Mona is a fantastic cat sitter. She is kind, responsible, communicative and sends great updates. My cats love her and I love knowing that they are safe and happy while we travel. She takes great care of them and knows their likes and dislikes and always lets me know what they did during her visits.”
“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 :)”
“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”
“Relle is wonderful! We’ve booked with her before and are never disappointed! She always leaves our pets happy and healthy, the place clean too. She’s so sweet to our babies and we can always tell they love having her! They both adore her! 10/10 would always recommend! Hope to see you again soon, Relle 😊”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.
“Ameneh was so easy to work with! She provided great daily updates on our loves as well as an unexpected update on our home- a neighbors tree fell and blocked our driveway! Our little loves were well cared for and I will definitely look to book her again!”
About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!
About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.
About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I have a flexible schedule because I work in a hybrid environment. I can do almost any day, including weekends. I’m also able to work from home sometimes, which makes it easier for me to take care of them. I would like to provide visiting or overnight care in customers place so that cats won’t getting anxiety and stay their comfy places. I am passionate and love the interaction with cats
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a senior rat terrier/pitbull mix, including daily walks, feeding, bathing, and full grooming (teeth brushing, skincare, and coat care), as well as cat sitting for two cats at a time over multiple school breaks — covering feeding, litter maintenance, and full house upkeep. i’m a university student in the dc area, so pet care fits right into my routine. i’m free any day of the week — currently flexible around an 8:30-4:30 work schedule, and completely open from august 7th through the following few weeks, so i can drop in whenever works best for you. i have a car right now for full mobility across dc, and once school starts back up i’ll be in the city daily and comfortable getting around by metro or rideshare. if your place isn’t metro accessible, i’d just ask that rideshare costs be covered as part of the booking. i care for pets with the same love and routine i give my own senior dog — daily walks, feeding, grooming (teeth brushing, skincare, coat care), and play. in a client’s home, i follow all instructions exactly as given and treat the space with the same care and respect i’d want for my own. i also bring a background in sensitive, high-trust caregiving through patient care work (hospice and reproductive health support), so i’m comfortable and calm handling situations that need extra attention.
About: Love all animals in general, I have cats, chickens, turkeys, pigeons and lifelong dog lover, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like family while providing safe walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you are away. I work a rotating 24-hours-on, 48-hours-off schedule as first responder. This gives me two full days between shifts for pet care, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time. My availability varies weekly, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly before accepting a booking. Pets staying with me will have a clean, comfortable, climate-controlled finished basement with plenty of room to rest and play. I will provide regular attention, exercise, feeding, bathroom breaks, and supervision while following each owner’s instructions. Safety and responsibility are always priorities, and I will send regular photos and updates.
“Lesly was wonderful! She house sat with my cat for two nights, and sent me tons of photo updates, was attentive to my cat, and kept my home in great shape. I would love to work with her again.”
“Maria is the best! She was so kind, accommodating to our specific needs, communicated very well, and loved my kitten as if he were her own. We are incredibly thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

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.

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.
