“Drew did a great job watching three kitties at my house. Litter was always cleaned and the cats were fed and watered. I would highly recommend Drew for all your sitting needs!”
“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”

I have always love helping animals, and currently being in between a job shift, i would love to take care of your fur baby throughout the week! I am very respectful and responsible, i will treat your fur baby like it is my own! That includes anything to make everyone feel more calm and trusting!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, mostly big dogs, so I’m very comfortable around pups of all sizes! I currently have my own Labrador Retriever, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I also work at an animal hospital, so I’m around dogs every day and have experience caring for them. Whether your dog is big, small, energetic, or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care! Anytime on Sundays, Monday's between 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm(I work a split shift), Tuesdays 1 pm-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm, Wednesday's between 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm, Thursdays between 1 pm-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm, Fridays if I am working between 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm but if I'm not I can do anytime 7 am-9 pm, Saturdays 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm -9 pm. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and love. I’ll follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I’m also happy to give medications when needed and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior.
About: I've owned many animals over my life, cats, dogs, horses, chickens, lizards. I've taken my dogs to animal chiropractors, trained my horse and distributed meds accordingly to my senior animals. I've also pet sit for my older siblings on many occasions. I understand that the needs of every animal is different and needs to be attended to. I am currently trying to apprentice in a very competitive field and pet sitting is my in between job while I look for better positions. I live on a small farm, before my dogs passed I walked them twice a day, I have bout toys and boxes to entertain my cats, handled my lizard with care and an appropriately sized tank, and trained my horse slowly and it has really kept him healthy in his old age. Animals in my care will receive the attention, exercise and safety they need. I have a very open schedule as I am not yet employed but have applied at pharmacies. I also work a couple shifts at the Cold Stone and get to bring home ice cream oftentimes. I feed them and change their water every everyday, play with them, search for enriching toys for them to play with. With. Sometimes I put on TV for them and my girl cat likes when I rock her.
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”
“Taylor was the best cat sitter we have ever had, she took very good care of Luna and made him feel comfortable with her and her cat and her husband because Luna doesn’t really like men but got along with him. Taylor is a great communicator, she gives you daily updates on how your fur baby is doing with pictures and everything. Needless to say we never had to worry for a second about Luna and we will most definitely have her watch Luna again.”
About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable
“Kristen dropped in twice a day to feed our cat while we were out of town. She checked in with me each time she went by and even sent pictures of Jude looking fat and happy. Knowing someone was there checking on things made being away from home much less stressful. When we got home everything in the house was just as we left it and Jude was so much more chill than she usually is when we get home. Kristen was very nice and easy to make arrangements with. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again if needed.”
About: I have experience working as an assistant dog groomer, and I have a certificate in vet assisting. I have knowledge of dog behavior and body language, and I will be sure to take extra care of your pets. I have my own golden retriever and we go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to give her all my love each day. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to keep our babies safe, and I am just the girl for your pups needs! :) I’m currently working a full time day job Monday-Thursday, with occasional OT on Friday mornings. I am available in the evenings after 4:30 until 9, so plenty of time to give your fur babies some love. I give my dog her own walks in the evening as well, and if you are interested in me bringing her along to play with your pup, let me know. She’s a big dog lover like me. Of course, this is only by request and I won’t bring her to anyone’s home without them asking me to. I am open to bookings on Saturday mornings. Sundays are the only day I will be unavailable. I live in an apartment but I am near a bike path that goes to Spencer Park and that’s where I always take my pup on her walks. I am more than willing to take doggos on walks with my girl in this area if needed.
“Matthew did a fantastic job watching our cats. He gave them lots of love and care, and I think our cats like him more than us now. He also was very tidy in our home. I'll definitely seek out Matt's help again next time we need a cat sitter.”
“This was our first time in Rover, Reggi was realizable and took good care of our boy. She updated us with pictures everyday which made us feel at ease leaving our cat at home. I definitely recommend Reggi.”
“I am so happy to have found Lisa! She has great communication skills and responds so quickly. My cat is so content when I return from travel because of her care. Highly recommended that you contact her for your pet sittng needs, she will go above beyond for you!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Our pets are an important part of our family but unfortunately they can’t tagalong with us everywhere we go. Have you found yourself passing up opportunities, turning down offers or just having guilt about leaving them cooped up for too many hours? As a former business owner and having two dogs I understand the struggle. I had endless guilt about not spending enough time with my pups. But, you are in luck because you needn't feel guilt anymore. I have a flexible schedule which allows for you to make last-minute trips, on a whim decisions or just simply having a worry free day away from home. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. My pups and I have all gone to training classes so, I have a solid understanding of canine behavior in order to keep everyone safe and sound. I work in the health and wellness industry. My position allows for me to create my own schedule which is conducive to caring for all your beloved ones needs. I am super outdoorsy! So, I am familiar with many of our local parks and walking paths. I am always up for a car ride and to go to the park. Please just let me what you feel comfortable with.
“Jessica is great with the drop-in visit's while I was out of town! Arrived on-time and sent a card with Blizzard's picture to let me know how he was doing. Would definitely use her again!!”
“First time booking wirh Michelle. She lives in the same town, has all kinds of pets & loves cats. We scheduled a meet & greet to learn what the pets needed. I appreciated that very much.

Good experience and very reliable.”

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.
