“Our family was looking for a cat sitter while we were away on vacation. It was just the weekend prior to our leaving and I still hadn’t found anyone. Fortunately Lisbeth responded to my request and I’m so happy she did!! She took great care in getting to know them, caring for them and communicating with me. I know they all felt comfortable around her. She provided peace of mind and it’s often hard to find. Thank you Lisbeth! We will see you again in August lol”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sam. He took excellent care of my two cats for nine days. Sam provided detailed notes and photos of my cats after every visit (which was twice daily). Whenever I had a question he responded promptly. I extended the length of my vacation and Sam accommodated the change without hesitation. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, look no further than Sam. He is outstanding.”
“Katie watched our boy again and she is wonderful! We felt at ease knowing she was caring for him. All the pictures and updates were great and he is so happy with her. Can’t thank you enough!”
“Alexa was so communicative and great with my cat! He takes oral medication and she handled it so well. Thank you, Alexa!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat home alone for a week knowing you were checking on him.”
“We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”
About: i have a dogs all my life and many puppys and senior dogs so i have lots of experience! i love giving dogs brain stimulation like commands and hid and seek with treats Pet care fits into my routine as part of my everyday life. I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and checking on how my pet is feeling. During the week I also handle grooming, cleaning, and making sure everything they need is stocked. Taking care of pets isn’t something I squeeze in it’s something I naturally plan my day around. I care for my pets and my clients pets but I making sure they always have water and have been fed, along with being let out to do their business. I also like to make sure that they are able to have their time outside and run around to get there energy out
“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”
“Raquel took great care of our boys while we were away and was very responsive and prompt. We will definitely request her again for future trips and would recommend her services to others!”
About: Our family dog, Rosie, a beautiful black toy poodle, passed when she was 16 and I was 21. I always took her on walks, fed her, and she slept with me. Ever since Rosie's passing, my family and I aren't ready for another dog, but I miss having one around. When a good friend of mine told me about Rover, I knew I would be the perfect candidate. I'm caring and gentle and every dog I sit will get the proper amount of attention. Dogs are like children, all they need is care and love! I'm currently working with my mom's company, Zoom Rides For Seniors. It a ride share service that focuses on caring for seniors and the disabled. We take seniors to their doctor appointments, the grocery store, wherever their hearts desire. I only do local rides and all of my rides don't take longer than 20 mins and then I come right back home. If I'm not home, Trish will be home since she's the owner and mostly in her office. I don't work after four either. I live in a five bedroom house, plenty of space for your fur baby to roam in. He or she can sleep in their crate in my brother's old room, which is down the hall from me. We do have a massive backyard that goes up on a hill, but we also have a closed deck where the fur baby can freely play and go to the bathroom in. I will probably be going outside on the deck each time as well to watch him or her.
About: Save on your first visit for any service. I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for over 20 years. I grew up with cats and dogs. I love helping animals. I’m here to make your pet feel comfortable, happy and safe. I have been professionally dog walking for a company for a few years. I’m branching out and starting my own company. I have full availability days, nights, weekends. I’m available for short or long visits. I would love to take care of your pet at their home. I have experience giving cats and dogs medicine. I have cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’m here for whatever you need.
About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.
About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!

Lisbeth went above and beyond last week. When we noticed Monty’s timer feeder hadn’t opened on our ring camera, we were able to get in touch with Lisbeth quickly who stopped by the house to feed Monty and determine the issue (low batteries), then returned later that day for her usual visit. Thank you Lisbeth for caring for our furball while we were away!
Lara is the best! She truly cares about my cat Millie’s wellbeing, comfort, and happiness while I’m away. I always receive the cutest videos and detailed updates during each visit, which gives me so much peace of mind. Lara is reliable, timely, and goes the extra mile to make sure Millie feels loved and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.
Grace took great care of our cat while we were on vacstion. She was very diligent and conscientious, always right on time, floowing directions and giving our cat the attention she needs. Grace seems to have a way with animals because our cat warmed up to her immediately. Highly recommend.
We are so glad to have found Kimberly. She went over and beyond watching our fur baby, Booda. She updated us daily on him and sent pictures. She took great care of him as if he were her own. 100% recommend and would absolutely have her watch our fur baby again.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
