“Lauren was very easy to work with, on time and very conscientious when taking care of our cat. She gave us great peace of mind while we were out of town. I’d definitely book her services again. Thank you!”
“Cole has been amazing! He offered a meet and greet beforehand to get to know the cats, and he was very thorough in taking care of them. We will definitely be asking for his help in the future! We knew our cats were in good hands with him.”
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom of two little ones and a big animal lover. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I have about 10 years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that pets are family members, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I’m home most of the day with my kids, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or loving company while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help. I’m also looking to earn a little extra income for my family, and there’s no better way to do that than by spending time with furry friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Since I’m a stay-at-home mom with my little ones, I have a very flexible schedule and am often available throughout the day. In some cases, my children may come with me for drop-in visits or certain pet care tasks. They are gentle, respectful around animals, and have grown up around pets themselves, so they are very comfortable and calm with them. Our family loves animals, and we always treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care. When caring for pets, I always do my best to follow the routine and preferences discussed with their owner. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I aim to keep their feeding times, walks, playtime, and general care as close to their normal schedule as possible. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had various dogs throughout my life so I’ve had lots of experience taking care of them. My chocolate lab also gave birth to 9 puppies so I’ve had experience taking care of new borns and also training them. I’m currently in college classes so I have several hours throughout the day to drop in, take walks and I am able to stay overnight. My pets are very well cared for and very much part of our family. In clients home, I will care for their animals as my own and comply with any requests they have in regards to their pet.
About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!
“Kyla was amazing! She and our dog, Riley, got along really well. She was very attentive to Riley’s needs and was very quick to update us with any news! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I've taken care of cats for 30 years and have always loved all Animals, even those that many are scared of. I take the care of Pets very seriously to ensure they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. It's a tailored experience because no two Animals are alike. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can easily check in on Cats throughout the day, 7 days a week. I do not travel during holidays, I stay home with my own Cat and Dog so I am available for all the major and minor holidays. I do have my own Cat and Dog but I would not bring either on trips to care for a Client's Cat. The safety and comfort of a Client's cat in their own home while their parents are away is the most important part of this process.
“Ian did a great job looking after my kitties! They have very distinct personalities and I feel like he understood each of them. I really appreciated how he took the time to play with them and gave them attention :)”
“Luke was amazing! He accepted my request last minute and was able to care for multiple dogs with ease. He gave great updates when he was on his way and how each visit went with pictures and details. I didn't feel worried while I was away at all. He is also very mindful when it comes to your home which I really appreciated. 100% recommend and will book with him in the future.”
About: I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am comfortable with caring for animals needing extra attention, elder pets, administering medication if needed, and making it my standard to treat your pet like my own! I myself have two kitties and a dog, so I know how important it is that they are around people with relaxing and good energy, which I can provide! A fun fact about me is that I am an Air Force veteran, so I am responsible and reliable!! I am currently a full-time student at Sacramento State, so I am at school from 9-10:15am Monday through Thursday starting this fall, which allows me to be available for your pet before and after class! I also work part-time from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays :) When I pet sit, I make sure that I leave the space I am pet sitting in just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. I respect the environments I am welcomed into and show my gratitude for any opportunity to fill a space by treating it as my own!
“Sloane is great. Our cat Fiona is well cared when we're out of town. Sloane responds quickly and communicates well. We have used her to watch Fiona several times over the last couple years and sometimes on short notice. She communicates well and is flexible. I definitely recommend Sloane to care for your fur babies. Thanks Sloane!”
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Haley! She provided thoughtful daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated while I was away. My cats can take some time to warm up to new people, and she was incredibly patient and understanding, allowing them to get comfortable with her at their own pace. I felt completely at ease while I was away, knowing I could trust her to take good care of them. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
About: Over the past 5 years, I've been providing dog walking and dog sitting services. My general duties include feeding, walking, playing with, and administering medication to dogs. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines that each dog may have. I’m currently working part and I am a full time student. I work 3-4 days a week from 3AM-11:30AM. I make openings in my schedule for any work or help needed necessary. Additionally, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have been walking and feeding a now grown up puppy named Mia for about 3 and a half years now. I make sure to schedule time for feeding, walking, and playing with the dog that I care for. I always keep a close eye on each dog's behavior and health to ensure that they are happy and healthy. I care for pets in the clients home making sure they are fed and have easy access to food and water. I also closely follow the instructions their owners have left for me. I would typically make sure the pet did not use the bathroom in the house/area the pet is. If I were to board a pet at my home I’d make sure my dog is in a friendly mood to interact and I would make sure the clients pet is safe and fed the correct food.
“Renae was on time and very responsive to texts. She did a great job of taking care of my cat while I was away. Definitely recommend her as a cat sitter for anyone looking for drop on visits”
“This was our second time having Coryn care for our kitties, and once again she did an excellent job. Her communication is always great, and we really appreciate the thoughtful, detailed visit summaries she leaves for us. Our cats are clearly comfortable with her, and it gives us peace of mind every time. Highly recommend her services!”
About: Although my career for the past 20 years has been in the mental health field, my passion is also for animals. I did not grow up with dogs, but had many cats, birds, turtles, snakes, and fish. Finally at the age of 34 I adopted my first dog, a pomeranian named Winston. He became the absolute love of my life quickly. I understood why so many people become so bonded with their doggies. Winston was by my side even when humans weren't. I never laughed so hard playing with him all those years and then never cried so hard when he passed recently. I miss him every single day. But feel so blessed to have had him in my life. Although I am not ready to get another dog, I am absolutely looking forward to helping other people with their family pets. I know I was extremely OCD with Winstons care and did not trust many people with him when I had to work or travel. So it means a lot to me to be trusted with your family pet. Plus, I get to have fun doing something that brings me joy! I am currently working part time so am pretty flexible. I am up early as well so can be the early helper if someone needs it. I am always mindful of my environment and will be so when I approach your house and pet. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years so am good at assessing a situation, staying calm and making good judgement calls. Safety is always a priority also. I want you and your pet to trust me and be safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 502 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rescue. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rescue. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
