“Julie is so responsive. We LOVE receiving report cards from her—they are detailed, loving, and the pictures make us feel really glad that our cats got to spend time with her! We will always book her for our family travels according to her availability, and wouldn’t have it any other way!”
“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”
“I use Tatiana regularly to care for my kitty Bella. Recently I had to be away for 2 weeks. Bella loves Tatiana and was relaxed and happy the whole time I was gone. Tatiana goes above and beyond to ensure I have peace of mind when I have to be away and to be sure Bella has everything she needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.
“Amazing experience! Melanie was able to accommodate my request at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my pet during the drop-in. I also really appreciated that she was open to doing a trial visit first, since I’m looking for someone I can trust for longer-term house sitting in the future. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable with her care. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
About: I work on my own terms selling artwork so i have an open schedule. I am usually available at anytime of the day or night, 24/7. I can work weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I will always follow the established routine to help my client’s pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of attention, and playtime based on their needs and personality. I respect the clients space, never leaving any mess and i will provide regular updates with photos so they can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own.
“Wow Kate is the best! I would leave more than 5 stars if I could. She was the perfect sitter for cat Isabella. She spent so much time with her and sent so many cute photos - which made us feel very comfortable and happy to leave her during our trip! I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trusted sitter for their beloved pet. :)”
“We recently moved to this state, and we were nervous to let someone else take care of our pets while we were gone. We found Sarah on Rover and we are happy with the choice we made. Sarah has proven to be professional, caring and trustworthy. We liked that every time she went to our house she was reporting how the cats / turtle are doing and what she did to help them feel good. It made us happy to know our pets were in good hands and well taken care off. We would definitely ask Sarah again to help us in the future!”
About: I am a stay at home mom who recently had both children go to school full time, freeing up my schedule, with that I have so much extra time and love to give to your animals. I've had both dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have two pets, one dog, Arya and one cat, Calcifer. Arya is a senior dog so I am fully capable of taking care of pets at all stages of life. I am currently a stay at home mom to two little boys that are in school full time. I would be able to take care of your animals while my kids are at school. I will also be able to come over in the evenings before bed to take care of any animals needs. I have two animals, a cat and a dog. I am fully capable of cleaning out litter boxes, feeding and making the cats have access to water. My dog is 11 years old, with a senior dog as a pet, I understand the extra care that some animals need.
“Chloe did a great job taking care of my furbabies! I am a super helicopter pet parent who hates leaving her pets, so I have very high standards. Since we work from home, our pets are used to having someone with them 24/7 and are very socialized, so I didn't want them feeling lonely. Chloe completely understood and stayed in our house for over 2 weeks to take care of the little ones. She sent regular photo updates that showed her playing with the cats and providing enrichment for them. The regular check-ins were so comforting to me! She also left the house clean and tidy for us to come home to. She responded promptly any time I texted her, and was extremely courteous. All in all, it was a great experience and we will definitely book Chloe again.”
About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.
About: I currently own 1 cat. I have taken care of 6+ dogs and 2+ cats in my life. I have experience administering eye and oral medicine to both dogs and cats.

I go on daily strolls with my cat and occasionally with my relatives dogs. I love all animals no matter their needs and I treat them with all the love and care I have. The same way I would want my pets to be treated is the way I will care for your pets. I can offer long leisurely walks and fun quality time so that your pet has the best time ever!

I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication when necessary, and providing plenty of love and attention. My past nursing experience has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Jessica was amazing. My dog can be reactive and intimidating. But, Jessica made quick friends with her. Jessica is communicative, cares deeply for the creatures she cares for and does exactly what she agrees to do. I appreciate her and will definitely ask her to care for my fur babies next time they need a sitter.”

Ella is truly an angel. She’s so sweet with my fur babies. I had to book her last minute because my family decided to leave town for the holidays, and she was amazing the entire time. She left thoughtful notes and messages that always reassured me they were safe, and she even sent pictures where you could see how calm and happy my pets were. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation.

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 .
