“Heather was awesome! We came back to a happy and healthy cat just the way we left her- and she went out of her way to make sure she was taken care of. Your pet is definitely in good hands with her!”
“Gabby is amazing! My kitties love her and she was flexible to accommodate me when I changed my vacation schedule and needed her services an extra day. Thank you Gabby!!! ❤️Alaura, Lucy & Gator”
“Melissa took great care of our four cats while we were away for a week. We spoke with her daily through our Ring system and she sent reports and photos everyday. We will use her again when we are out of town next,”
“I've used Alexis three times now, including a recent week-long trip, and she's been consistently excellent. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about my cat's well-being. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and have complete peace of mind while I'm away. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.”
“Kiersten was an amazing rover! My husband and I went out of the country for two weeks and Kiersten sent us a ton of thorough write ups, pictures, and videos which made being away a little less hard. She was very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend booking her for your future needs!”
About: My name is Kat Johnson! I am available for house-sitting stays for cats and dogs of all breeds and care levels. I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m a graduate student at SNHU and I previously worked for PetSmart as a groomer. I’ve been trained in pet care and safety, with new updated training on a regular basis. I have experience pet sitting with pets of all breeds and ages. I love animals and I can promise they’ll be more than pampered under my care. I’m looking to make a little extra money here and there while I’m in school. Customer satisfaction and pet safety are among my top priorities. I’m incredibly flexible and I will work with each and every Pet Parent to provide the best service possible. I look forward to working with you! ❤️ I'm currently working under the USFS in the Red Rock Ranger District! I work 4 days per week which are standard 8 hour days. This means your pet won't be left alone for long periods and well supervised! Updates and close montoring will always be provided to your pet. Every pet is different and it's my goal to ensure that your pet's individual needs are met. I have pets of my own and several years of experience pet sitting. In that time, there has never been any safety incident under my care. Even so, I'm prepared for any scenario and always have emergency plans in place with each pet parent to give you peace of mind while you are away. Customer satisfaction and care of both your pet and your home can be ensured when you book with me!
About: I started as a dog walker in my neighborhood and quickly became a house/pet sitter for overnights and check in’s! I love the families I have worked with. I work part time typically in the morning so I am available mid day until night! I can go over as many times as needed. I live in a gated community that has many pet relief areas along with a dog park. I keep a clean and tidy home that is great for any pet.
“Sophia is amazing, her love for cats is very evident and I feel as if she genuinely cared for my cat's well-being. Sophia is very responsive to messages and willingly provides additional updates, I felt completely comfortable leaving my cat and my home in her care. Every visit Sophia took plenty of photos and included notes on behavior, water intake, eating habits, and litter box usage. My cat missed her so much after the visits ended, he even made biscuits on the sofa where they used to hang out together. I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”
“Very communicative and left detailed reports of how my cat was doing. She included photos in her reports, too, which was so fun to see while away. Absolutely recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!”
“This was our first time using this service and we couldn't be more pleased. Valerie was amazing! She went above and beyond our requests and expectations. She was so kind and loving to our large bloodhound. I can't stress enough how happy we are with Valerie's care with our girl Molly. I would highly recommend Valerie to everyone! Thank you Valerie and Rover for such a great service!”
About: I've been walking, training, and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years. I currently work as a zookeeper full-time. Animals are my passion and I have very high standards of care for every animal I am responsible for. I have experience with (and am actively continuing my education on) Cooperative Care and basic obedience training using positive reinforcement. I have a senior dog of my own and have had special needs dogs in the past, so I am happy to work with dogs that need a little extra care. My main availability is Tuesday-Thursday, but I can occasionally accommodate other days. Feel free to reach out and we can see what we can work out! How I care for pets is fully tailored to my client's needs. I prefer to have a meet and greet with new clients and their pets to get to know you both and go over any important details of their care. I do not feed any treats or food that are not approved ahead of time. I'm educated on signs of fatigue in dogs and am careful to not overwork the dogs in my care (especially in this summer heat).
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs, from chihuahuas to greyhounds and pit bulls! I’ve cared for young and geriatric dogs, dogs with anxiety, and have experience giving medication (oral meds and eye drops!) I’m off for the summer before school, so my schedule is flexible! I have one recurring event Saturday mornings, other than that we can figure out what works best for you and your pet! My home is not available for pets right now, but I am happy to take care of your pet in their own home! I am open to dropping in as well as staying the night to keep them company! I would like to keep their routine as steady as possible, and am happy to play with them, let them out, take them on walks, etc. as best fits their normal schedule!
About: I've been house-sitting and dog-sitting for families in my neighborhood since I was a teenager, and it's something I've always genuinely enjoyed. Over the years, I've built lasting relationships with both pets and their owners, and many people continue to trust me because they know I'm reliable, responsible, and attentive. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do my best to make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I have three cats and a dog, so I understand the level of care, patience, and attention that pets need every day. Whether that means sticking to their routine, going on walks, playing, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease and know they're in caring, trustworthy hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have pets of my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I currently work part-time as a nanny on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 AM to 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care before and after work, as well as throughout the rest of the week. As the owner of three cats and a dog, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I'm used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box maintenance, and making sure pets get the attention and companionship they need. Whether your pet prefers lots of activity or a calm, comforting presence, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I always strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard, which provides a secure area for dogs to get exercise, play, and enjoy time outside under supervision. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is to ensure that pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home.
About: I really just want to make sure that your pets and house are taken care of the same way I would take care of mine if not better. Ive been a sitter of dogs, cats, plants, and axolotls so i have a pretty good idea of how to make sure your pets are happy as possible while you have to be away I’m a botanist and work regularly 7am-4pm M-F, your pets would be the last things I see before work and the first after. I have 6 sweet kitties at home that I make sure are well exercised, fed, and loved. I wish to get to know your pets and make them as comfortable and entertained as possible. All my cats get wet and dry food, we have cat trees, multiple water fountains, maybe too many toys and even a stroller to see the world in. Here in the desert pet hydration is my number one concern, especially after treats and exercise. My partner and I push for cat hydration through occasionally mixing churu in water bowls (they love it). For dogs I will never leave the house with them without water and a bowl. I grew up here in AZ and my family dog and I have ran many miles so I know when to look for the signs that your pet needs a break, water, or to turn around. LGBTQ+ family
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind for as long as I can remember. I would walk them, play with them, and feed them. I’m currently working part time as a caregiver but I have plenty of free time and availability to come take care of your animals even if it’s last minute I currently live in an apartment but if you have a backyard or even an opened backyard I’ll always make sure your pet is on their leash or has eyes on them at all times. Even if you live in an apartment I’ll make sure they have their leash on and are being well cared for
“Abbygail is the best sitter our kitty cats have had! She is so attentive and caring, truly the best choice we made in a long time. Highly recommend her to give your pets the care and attention they deserve when you're away.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rillito
Wow Lauren did an amazing job with my 2 cats!! One of my cats needs medication and sometimes hides, but Lauren did an A+ job encouraging my cat through the process while I was gone. Im so grateful for Lauren’s care. She also played a bunch with my active cat and sent me the cutest photos so I could see the cats playing and enjoying themselves. Lauren kept the kitchen and feeding areas very clean. I would most highly recommend Lauren for pet care!!!! She is the best!!
Sky cared for our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for several days. She made sure to follow our detailed instructions and sent updates and pictures during each visit. We always get a little anxious leaving our cats behind when we travel, but Sky helped us relax on our trip since we knew they were in good hands. Thank you, Sky!

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 .

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.

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.
