“Mariya did a great job with our 5 animals - 3 cats and 2 dogs, one of them a senior. They all warmed up to her very quickly. She left very thorough report cards that made me at ease while we were away! Highly recommend :)”
“There was a little confusion with the original booking but they were able to fit me in last minute. Appreciated having the photos while I was away.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing. She sent updates and several pictures for every visit, her notes were always very detailed and she was very communicative with us about our dog. 100% recommend her.”
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and truly see pets as family. Over the years, I’ve raised several dogs from puppies through their senior years, including my beloved cocker-poodle mix, Japhy, who lived an amazing 19 years. When Japhy was young, we spent countless hours playing frisbee, exploring trails, and going on adventures together. As he aged, I lovingly supported him through vision and hearing loss, giving him the patience, comfort, and care he needed in every stage of life. Four years ago, we welcomed our Bernedoodle, Juniper, into our family, along with two kittens who showed up as strays on our front porch. My wife and I worked hard to rescue and care for abandoned kittens, making sure they felt safe, loved, and at home. I’m known for having a calm, grounded energy that animals naturally respond to. Even dogs who are shy or nervous around people often feel comfortable sitting beside me and relaxing in my presence. In addition to pet care, I’m also a Reiki Master, and part of my professional work includes offering energetic healing to both animals and people. I bring that same gentle, intuitive, and attentive care to every pet I meet. I currently work for myself and help my wife run our Healing Center. I create my own schedule and have plenty of time to get to know and care for your pet ! I see animals as part of the family, and I care for them with the same love, attention, and responsibility I would give my own children. We prioritize the best nutrition, hygiene, and overall care for our pets. Although we have a fenced yard, we never just let our dog out alone — we always stay outside with her, play with her, and make sure she’s safe and comfortable. We also walk our dog 2–3 times a day to keep her active, happy, and well cared for. I would provide that same level of care, attention, and safety for any dog or cat entrusted to me.
“Alexis was great taking care of our kitty! She did the basic care tasks very well but also spent quality time playing and keeping our cat company while we were gone. We loved her photos and notes!”
“Khalia was great with our dogs and so easy to work with! She was good at communicating, very professional and friendly. We will definitely reach out to her for help in the future.”
“Emily was wonderful!! It was great being able to leave our dogs at home in a familiar setting while we were out of town. Our dogs loved her visits and could tell she was a loving caring animal person right away. She was super dependable and thorough and was always quick to respond with any questions and concerns when unexpected things would pop up. It was great to get her daily updates about how our dogs were doing each day, complete with maps of where they walked and pictures of what they were doing each day. We were very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care, would certainly want to have her as our dog sitter in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pet with a reliable care giver, she’s the best! Kevin and Diann G. - Cooper and Maisy too”
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”
“Kim did an amazing job with our dogs! One of our dogs is usually very scared of new people but warmed up to Kim very quickly and felt safe with her (she has a very kind and calming presence). I felt very at ease knowing Kim was taking such good care of them. I will definitely be using Kim again for any dog sitting in the future!”
“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”
“Quinn is the best! She’s always quick to respond and communicates clearly throughout the care term. She’s also attentive to all the details for both our cat and dog, which makes it easy to trust that they will be well loved while we are away.”
“Jeffery is fantastic! He takes excellent care of my two dogs and always gives me peace of mind when they're in his care. He’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover offering reliable drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and reptiles. As the proud owner of a dachshund, a corgi, and a bearded dragon, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a potty break and playtime, your cat needs company and care while you're away, or your reptile needs feeding and habitat checks, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. You can count on me for attentive care, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you can travel with peace of mind.
“We absolutely adore Kelsey!! She is caring, considerate and just loves our kitty man so much!! I don’t know what we’d do without her 💙 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Corey was an amazing Rover sitter! He was on time, took wonderful care of my cat, and went above and beyond by washing all of the food and water bowls before I got home. My cat had a great play session, and Corey sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always knew how my cat was doing. I would absolutely book Corey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Carina did an excellent job caring for my 2 dogs, one of whom is special needs. Would book her again and definitely recommend her, especially if your pet has a medical condition that requires special care.”
About: I’m dependable, patient, and tuned in to each pet’s personality. I grew up with dogs, currently help walk and sit friends’ dogs, and I’m also a lifelong cat owner, so I’m comfortable reading animal body language and adjusting to different temperaments. What sets me apart is that I don’t treat pet care like a generic checklist. I pay attention to routines, comfort levels, energy, and quirks, whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a slower sniff-heavy stroll, or calm company during a drop-in. I’m especially good with shy, sensitive, or particular pets who need someone steady and observant. I work full-time, so pet care fits best into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m generally available before 8am or after 6pm on weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to do dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and general check-ins. I don’t offer boarding, but I can provide reliable care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in the client’s home. I do not board pets in my home. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible: feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, medication instructions if needed, and basic home check-ins. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets are secure before I leave. For dogs, I can do anything from an energetic walk to a slower sniff-heavy outing, depending on their age, energy level, and personality. For cats, I give them space if they’re shy, attention if they want it, and keep their food, water, and litter area clean. I’m very tuned in to pet body language and try to make each visit feel calm, safe, and consistent.
About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.
“We LOVE having Danielle take care of our babies! She even left us a Christmas gift including ornaments with the names of both our dogs! She is the sweetest, and we will absolutely use her again! :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverlea
Corey was an amazing Rover sitter! He was on time, took wonderful care of my cat, and went above and beyond by washing all of the food and water bowls before I got home. My cat had a great play session, and Corey sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always knew how my cat was doing. I would absolutely book Corey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!
Angela is the best of the best!! She always ensures my cats are doing well and goes far out of her way to make sure they are good when they aren’t feeling well or seem off! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter, I can’t imagine there being a better person to check in on my cats!
Mariya was wonderful. I had a last minute need to have my animals fed and my dog let outside— and she was so responsive and communicative that I felt completely comfortable with her service. Lots of pics to leave no doubt everything was taken care of while I was gone. I’ll be a client again for sure!
Amy was the best! I was looking for an experienced cat person to take care of our crew as two of four have health issues, and I’m so glad I found Amy. She reported on all the intricacies of each of their personalities, sent photos/videos, brought a laser pointer along to give them some entertainment and even tracked down our scaredy cat just to make sure he was okay. I’d definitely use Amy anytime I go out of town!
Haleigh came everyday at the exact time she said she would be there. She did a pre-visit to meet them and was easy to get in contact with while I was gone. She would send me pictures and updates. She also took in a few packages that had arrived at my house. I know my kitties loved her! I would recommend her.
We had so much peace of mind while being away knowing Valarie was checking on our 3 cats. She had great communication before and during the visit and sent lots of pictures! Valarie gave medicine daily to our big boy, she had our sweet nervous girl out of hiding and looking for belly rubs every day, and even our sassy calico warmed up to her!
Audrey is an amazing Rover sitter! She always responds quickly, is consistently available, and goes above and beyond in the care she provides. Coco loves her, and I always feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. Highly recommend Audrey if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Savannah did a wonderful job cat-sitting Emby. She left almost a paragraph of details after each visit and my cats food habits as I’m trying out a new diet. She always sent four photos or more. It made me feel better about being away, knowing he was ok. Savannah is the best sitter in the game!
Quinn is great with my cats! Including my extremely shy kitty that likes to hide. Quinn is great with approaching cats at their speed and letting them acclimate, apart from Quinn’s clear aptitude with cats they’re also great with checking everything off the list for keeping track of litter, dispensing more kibble, and topping off their water bowls. I highly recommend Quinn.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
