âCatrina is absolutely wonderful. She made me feel by repeating all the instructions for Carlyâs care with each visit. I was at peace knowing my cat is in the hands of a responsible and conscientious person. I will be rebooking for sure!â

âEliza was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad we found her. Our kitty is an older boy who is very skittish around new people. He warmed up to Eliza faster than he has with anyone before! She constantly played with him and brushed him while at our place, and I think he was sad when his playdates were over. Would absolutely recommend and book her again.â

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a longtime pet owner myself, Iâm attentive to routines, behavior changes, and safety, and I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for in a stress-free environment. I currently work a hybrid schedule and return to the office a few days each week. I plan pet care around my work hours and am available for visits after work on office days, with more flexibility on remote days. I always make sure visits are reliable, calm, and never rushed.

About: Hi! I'm Susanna, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets. While my full-time career has always been in customer service, animals have always been my true passion. I worked part-time at Monster Pets, where I learned about animal care and the importance of meeting each pet's individual needs. I also volunteered with the PSPCA, helping care for animals and giving them the attention, patience, and compassion they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, but I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel. I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and routines. I take the time to build trust with every pet, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.I also have two cats and cared for a rescued parakeet for over 10 years, so I understand the responsibility and love that goes into caring for animals.

About: Iâve been around many types of animals all my life including exotic, farm animals, and house pets like cats and dogs. I love them all equally and would be happy to care for any pet! I currently work full time but typically have 3 days off a week. I will be going back to school in the fall but will still have availability. While I cannot currently look after pets in my own home, I am happy to accommodate most needs for any animal in their own home.
âWe were extremely pleased with the service Samantha provided when she stayed at my motherâs house and took care of her arthritic 13 year old cat. She immediately had a good rapport with my momâs cat, sent us pictures, updated us, and even brushed her cat. She came over in the middle of the day to feed her too. She was available and responded in a timely fashion when we needed to extend the job. She even reached out to us to make sure my mother had a key when she returned. She left the house looking exactly the way my mom left it. We couldnât even tell anyone had stayed there. She even got rid of some dead flowers that were in a bouquet on the table and left the good ones. We highly recommend Samantha for your house sitting and pet sitting needs.â
About: Craft an engaging "About Me" Tell pet owners about the love and care youâll provide for their pets. Donât be afraid to brag about your pet care experience, special skills, your personal qualities, and how you will keep their pets happy and safe. What sorts of activities will a dog enjoy on a stay with you? Where will you go on walks? What fun activities will you do together? What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences? Do you know dog first aid and/or CPR? Yes No Can you administer oral medication to dogs? Yes No Can you administer injected medication to dogs? Yes No Do you have experience taking care of senior dogs? Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. Iâm organized, reliable, and attentive to maintaining each petâs routine so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. Whether itâs early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. In a clientâs home, I respect and follow each ownerâs routines, feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any special instructions to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I am mindful of their behavior, body language, and safety during walks and visits, and I always ensure pets have fresh water, supervision, affection, and a clean environment. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I provide updates, photos, and check-ins to give owners peace of mind while theyâre away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the care being provided.

Iâm glad I was able to book Nicholas again! He was very observant and gave detailed reports about my cat, and made sure to go find him when he didnât come downstairs to say hi. My cat can be a little shy at first but he warmed up to Nicholas right away! Will definitely rebook next time Iâm traveling.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
