“Danielle did amazing! She was super sweet and asked lots of questions at the meet and greet with pups prior to the booking. She took great care of our dogs and posted pictures every time she visited them. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home.

“Isabella did a wonderful job with our diabetic cat and our home. He doesn’t cozy up to everybody, but he did snuggle up with Isabella and she was great with updates and photos and was very responsive. We would very much recommend and would be happy to use her again.”
“Doris is warm and dependable. She clearly loves animals and takes amazing care of our pets. She goes above and beyond and has become a treasure to us, giving us peace of mind when we have to leave our kitties in her care.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, building hands-on experience with pets at every stage—from energetic 6-month-old puppies and kittens to senior companions up to 17 years old. This range has taught me how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s unique needs, whether that means playtime and structure for younger pets or patience, gentleness, and routine for older ones. I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, from small Morkies to large German Shepherds, and I’m comfortable handling different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether a pet is highly active, a little shy, or just loves to relax, I take the time to understand their personality and help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive care so your pet feels at ease and well-loved while you’re away. I’m currently working full time, but am allotted an hour lunch break allowing me to drop in mid-day if necessary. I also run and am a part of a run club and am open to bringing friendly pups along with me for some social time and exercise! I care for every pet as if it's my own while ensuring to fulfill your wishes as the pet owner. Dog or cat, your pet will feel genuinely loved, cared for, and as comfortable as possible without you being there.
About: I prefer animals over humans. Have had pets all my life. From small dogs like a chihuahua to large dogs like a boxer. Very attentive. Work from home and available on weekends. Can care for your pet all day since i work from home. I also enjoy walks and will walk your pet. Home is pet friendly and safe for all pets. Your pet will be leashed on walks. Unsafe rooms will be gated off so that they can stay in sight.
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household and have experience with everything from big labs to small chihuahuas. One of my family dogs had diabetes, so I understand how important routine, medication, and careful monitoring are. I also fostered a puppy who wasn’t crate trained, so I’m patient and confident working with younger dogs still learning structure. I’m very hands-on, detail-oriented, and make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My remote work schedule allows me to provide flexible, hands-on care all day long. I’m experienced with dogs who require structured routines and strict feeding schedules, and I take pride in following instructions closely. Your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care—not just quick check-ins treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks and walks, enjoy playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow all care instructions closely and always communicate with updates and pictures.

Kelly was simply Amazing at taking great care of all of our babies while we were out of town. Always right on time, she gave them loads of love and excellent care. Lots of pics sent and updates at every visit. Fantastic communicator. I think they were all a bit sad to see us come home to be honest:) Could not recommend her more!! I would give 100 stars if I could!
First time using Rover. Christina was very kind, always on time and took great care of our two cats while we were away. Communication was excellent! We loved getting pictures of our kitties each day. Everything went perfectly in my opinion and we”ll definitely reach out to her again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you again Christina!

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
