“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi and how grateful we are to have found someone we trust with our little Baby Kitty, Bee, who is truly our whole world. Leaving Bee is so hard for us so knowing she was with someone who generally care about her and wanted her to feel loved meant more than I can say. Kelsi sent us a ton of adorable pictures and videos, and wrote us updates every evening, which was incredibly reassuring and made us feel so much better about being away from our precious little girl. It was so obvious that Bee was happy, spoiled (in the best ways), and very loved while we were gone, which completely melts our heart. Kelsi even left us the cutest little drawing of Bee with her final note for us to have when we got back. It was such a sweet, thoughtful touch. We are beyond happy to have found someone we can trust with our sweet little Baby Bee and will 1000% be requesting her every single time we need to sit, and I 1000% recommend her to you!”

“Ciarra took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away. One of our cats has diabetes so it was critical we found someone with experience administering insulin shots. She took extra time to pet them and play with them and gave us thorough updates. I will definitely book her in the future and highly recommend her.”

About: Hey y’all! I have been independently caring for animals since I was 12. I have previously worked in a groomer shop as a bather and nail trimmer. I also have history of assisting with training dogs. Fortunately, my dad is a vet and I have gained a lot of knowledge through him. I am appropriately trained to administer medications to any fur babies that may need it! I have history working with animals of all ages. I can assure you that your furry friends will be in the best hands! I am currently looking for full time work and in the mean time available for every day activities with your furry friends! I am currently available whenever you need! I am willing and able to accommodate to yours and your pets needs to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable while away from each other. I unfortunately cannot bring your pet into my home due to my own animals.

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life. At age 12 I started managing our family farm, which ment taking care of all of our animals, from the horses to the rabbits. There are two rules I keep for myself: 1) every animal has a purpose and a name. They are not just a number (which is important to remember on a farm) 2) They are fed and cared for before anything else. It doesn't matter what's going on they are my first thought when I wake up. I take care of them before I eat. I am currently a college student and working part time for the school. My times and avalibility will change when I resume school in September. Because I live on a farm, I am blessed that my cats can safely be indoor - outdoor cats. I do have a house cat, and I have two outdoor cats. For dogs, I am used to taking dogs on walks, and letting them into secure, fensed in yards.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs multiple times for an about 4 years. I’m very understanding and don’t ever get mad or stressed with animals even if they don’t listen and I always have a good time spending time with animals. I have a part time job so my routine is pretty flexible. If you need a last minute sitter for a night or for a few hours let me know! I have a cat who is very sweet, his name is Berlin and he gets along and is very playful with animals even hamsters lol

About: I just love critters! I love hanging out with your furry legged friends and would love to take care of yours if at all possible. I do work full time: however, I have my own transportation and can be somewhat flexible on my office hours. I’m used to working crazy hours all day! Can do drop ins as well as overnights, but will need to go into the office during the day. I make sure they’re happy and comfortable, following instructions to a T and spending as much time as possible with them to ensure they’re happy and healthy!

About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! I don’t have a fenced backyard and my pup is a little feisty so i’d prefer to come to them but that just allows your pup to stay in the comfort of their home and again I have experience with doing drop ins for plenty of my family & friends!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 16. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, lizards and a rabbit. I have experience in older animals who need medication multiple times a day. I'm currently working part-time with few hours so I have a very flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to meet the need of you and your pet! I stick to a strict schedule if any kind of medicine is involved. Aside from that I am more laid back in my approach to pet-sitting. I love giving treats and extended play times!

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.

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 .

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.
