“Patricia was a great sitter to my two cats! I will 100% book her again. Gave great updates, and pictures of my cats while I was gone and followed all the directions I left for her.”
“Great sitter. Monica did an outstanding job for my cat, Mochi. Lost of pictures and a very detailed report card each time. She was very understanding and worked with me when I let her know that I was coming home earlier than expected. Thanks Monica!”
“Dani was great. Made friends with the most stranger-spooky cat I’ve ever known. Was on time, helped with the trash & mail, and very communicative. She’ll be our first pick for the little Beetle from now on. Thank you!!”
“Adrianna has done one extended stay and one drop in with our 3 dogs- plus our foster dog. We do not have easy dogs. She has been great. Definitely understands how to work with dogs of different temperaments. She is quick to respond and has always followed through and been on time.”
About: I have owned Dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and more. Also have delivered puppies. I’ve always had animals growing up! I am very flexible on time and don’t mind making multiple runs or walks. Grooming is an option as well, boarding. I can and am willing to do a wide variety of requests. Experienced in training dogs and general health of animals. If I don’t know something specific, I am more than happy to do the research and educate myself properly to fulfill any questions or requests. Prices are also negotiable so don’t hesitate to give me a call at anytime. I look forward to hearing from you. Currently have a a flexible schedule. Available most times and days. Feel free to reach out with any specific time requests. I would be glad to help. I have a fenced in area for the dogs, cats are in home as well as kids. If animal does not get along with any of these, I will not accept.
About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.
“Whitney did a fantastic job caring for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent wonderful photos and spoiled them with love, play, and treats. I’m glad I found someone in the area I trust to look after them when I’m out of town.”
About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.
“Kelsie is a wonderful pet person. She is a good communicator and kept in touch with me right up until the days she started caring for my cat. I will make Kelsie my first contact when ever I need someone to help with my pet care.”
“Maggie did a wonderful job taking care of my 10 year old Boston Terrier Stella. From the great pictures she sent as well as the updates it was obvious the Stella was in good hands! Dependable, punctual and an obvious pet lover. I Highly recommend Maggie!”
“Jade is awesome! She checked in and gave updates throughout her stay with Cleo and also sent photos. It's obvious how much she loves animals, and I can't wait to book her again soon!”
About: I take very care of my cats and make sure they have a well balanced diet and life. I’ve babysat friends dogs and am very good at following any directions and preferences they give me. Cats and dogs give me so much joy and I always have the patience and love for them. I’m currently working a part-time job and I’m in softball currently, so the most available time I have are Fridays and the weekends at any time your pet will need me. I will be coming to your home since that works best for me, so I will care for you pet just like you would yourself. Any special accommodations you have for me, I will be sure to follow through since it is your home and your pet.
About: I’ve lived with dogs or cats most of my adult life. I travel often so I understand the need to make your pet feel at home with someone who will love them the way you do. I work from home, so as long as you have reliable internet I can be at your place taking care of your pet all day in order to meet their needs. I only care for pets in other peoples homes. I will let them out as you require, walk daily if needed and give them all the attention they need.

Ann is amazing. She took care of our two cats while we were out of town. One of our cats had to have 2 different kinds of medications and Ann successfully managed it. She sent multiple pictures which we appreciated greatly! I highly recommend Ann to take care of your pets!
Christine’s passion for pets is perfectly demonstrated through the care she provides your pet(s). She’s very thorough & detailed oriented which makes the experience worry free. Also, she was willing to go above & beyond just pet care. We will definitively use her again if possible!

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
