“Elizabeth took amazing care of our cats. She took so many amazing photos, always kept me updated, and overall amazing communication. Very thankful to have her as a cat sitter.”
“Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.”
“Wow! Christie & her delightful daughter were amazing taking care of our elderly cat for a week. Their daily photos/updates kept this anxious cat mom relaxed and happy. Best vacation ever! And we returned to a house that I swear was cleaner than when we left. "That's how we do it!" said Aya. My sweet kitty has two new best friends!”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tucker and Ruby! They each have very different personalities, and she handled them both with such care and confidence. I felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her hands — and it was clear they were well cared for and loved. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Nicole again!”
“Our young cat was well cared for by Casey! He had a designated safe space he could use at her house when needed, though he wasn’t shy and made himself right at home. She was very attentive to any needs he had and made sure to send pictures, which our family loved seeing. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Casey again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, and now work my full time job with animals every day. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and rodents! My senior dog has Stage 3 kidney disease and we provide daily care for him, including oral and injectable meds, and special diets. I am comfortable doing this with other animals :) I work a full time job during the week, hours 7 am - 3:30 pm. Am looking for supplemental income by providing pet care to those in need. I am available after 4:30 pm during the week, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard for my for dog, and a crate available if needed. I would prefer caring for your pets at your home but am willing to bring them to my home if they are dog and cat friendly. I have a senior dog who has some trouble getting around so we have ramps, but he prefers dogs that are smaller than he is, about 55 lbs. My pets are treated like kings and queens in our home and I would provide the same care for your fur babies!

About: We have a good sized house which we share with our sweet rescue dog, Penelope, 2 kittens, Lilo and Stitch and our almost 2 year old daughter. I offer dog walking, sitting, overnight, part day hang outs and even training! We live near several parks that are dog friendly which we frequent regularly. I've always lived with dogs but began training the family and neighbor's dogs around the age of 10. I want to make note that I understand it is a big responsibility to care for someone else's fur child and that I take it very seriously. If you have any questions, please feel free to text, or email me anytime. I am home each day with my young daughter who is great with animals but in case you prefer she stay separate, we have gates and even a heated barn if full separation is needed. Our old girl has free rein of the house, even our kitties get outside every once in a while but we have the ability to set up a small fenced in area or a zip line style tether, and of course walks as needed. We love to snuggle all furry friends but also know some prefer their space.
“Nadia was a joy to work with. Very professional. She kept us informed on the days events. Sent pics & videos of her interaction with our kitty's! Put my mind at ease, since I've never left my 2 year old cats alone. Plus she maintained security of my shop & belongings. I would highly recommend Nadia. We will always request her. If your looking for someone that is on top of their game + trustworthy, its Nadia”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Portage
Ellie did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Bea. She was initially going to care for both of our cats but our buddy passed away the day after our meet and greet. She provided great comfort to Bea and peace of mind that she would not be alone while we were out of state. We greatly appreciate the care she provided and we highly recommend her.
This was my first time using Rover and choosing Elizabeth was the perfect decision! She’s kind and easygoing while also being incredibly professional. She went above and beyond during her visit to make sure my cat had everything she needed—food, snacks, new fresh water, litter changes, and lots of snuggles and pets. I especially appreciated photos and the video she sent of my kitty. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with Elizabeth again in the future and highly recommend her business to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful pet care!
Elizabeth was amazing with my two cats!! Sge was on time and communicated with me daily while we were gone on a long cruise. I loved the videos she sent me all the details of what she was doing with my boys. And could see they absolutely loved her. It was the first time I ever had someone other than family watch my boys while I was gone. She made us feel very comfortable and respected our home from the initial meet and greet through the time we got home. I could tell from the videos and pictures she was sending that my boys really enjoyed her and were comfortable with her. I’m sure they miss their play and outside time with her. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

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.
