“Excellent experience! I was worried leaving my diabetic cat for the first time. Kristi did a great job of proving my cat his insulin shots 2x a day while I was out if the country. Will definetly use Kristi again and recommend her for anyone that has an animal with medical needs!!”
“Melissa did a great job. She spent time playing with my cats and ensuring they were doing well. She was punctual and payed attention to details. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Emily did a fantastic job! She was dependable, thorough and great at communication. I never had to wonder if everything was ok at home. She was willing to learn to give insulin injections and provided care with confidence. Highly recommend and will definitely be asking her again!”
“Megan did 3 drop in visits with my 2 very energetic 7 month old kittens and I will definitely re-book for future trips. I could tell Megan was very caring and trustworthy at our meet & greet visit. I loved seeing her photos and reading updates about them. It gave me lots of peace of mind knowing they were getting regular visits and play time while we were away. They were 2 very happy boys when we returned so I can tell they enjoyed their time with Megan!”
About: I love all types of animals and have experience caring for a variety, including more common pets such as dogs and cats but also more unique ones like birds, lizards, rodents, etc. I started my own dog walking business at the age of 10 and did it constantly throughout middle and high school, now I take care of all types of pets when I am not working. I am currently an elementary teacher and strive to make all my students feel safe, loved, and valued and aim to do the same for mine and others' pets! I am a teacher so I am off work during summer and holiday breaks! When school is in session I am able to provide care before and after school as well as quick walks/let outs during my lunch break! I am also available on the weekends to provide care! In both my home and my clients’ homes, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet's routine closely—including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medication or special care they need. In my home, pets have a quiet space to relax, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure their pet's needs are met just as they would be by their owner. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away.
About: I've loved cats my whole life! I have three cats of my own, and have fostered almost a hundred cats through the Cleveland APL. I have experience with all ages and temperaments, from friendly kittens to shy adults. I am able to tell when a cat wants attention, and work with cats who need a little bit more space to feel confident. I am able to give pills, eyedrops, and other medications to cats as needed. I can recognize changes in behaviors and alert pet owners when something seems concerning. My experience doesn't end with cats! I've owned rats, mice and hamsters and understand the importance of having someone experienced with small animals to watch them. Your small pets will receive the same high quality of care. I'm a remote worker so I have plenty of time for drop in visits as needed! My schedule is flexible, and I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. I'm excited to care for your pets in your home. I am very careful around doors to the home, as I know how quickly pets can escape. I will follow your instructions closely to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible.
“Eva was amazing! She was so sweet and kind to my puppy, she was very punctual and followed all my instructions throughly! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again!”
“Leslie took very good care of my two kitties for a week, dropping in twice daily to feed and interact a bit with them while I was gone. She sent pics daily too, as well as brining in the mail and even going the extra mile to do a bit of watering on the back patio per my request. I would highly recommend Leslie!”
“Mitchell is awesome!! he’s going to be my regular cat sitter from now on. He really spends time and plays with the cats and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”
“Alexandrea was wonderful with my cat while I was out of town. She kept her well fed and played with her each day. I received several photos each day of my cat happily playing and cuddling with Alexandrea which helped put my mind at ease. I'd use Alexandrea again for future cat sitting services.”
About: I grew up with dogs, including one who was basically my brother for a full decade. He was my best buddy, and through him I learned all the basics of loving and consistent pet care. More recently for our second pup, I was my mom’s go-to pet care person while she was at work. I handled long walks, feedings, grooming, and the insane demand a border collie has for playtime. (Really, she’s crazy.) While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring deeply about animals. I’m deeply attentive to animal’s comfort and routine. Your fur baby is in safe, organized, loving hands. ♡ I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching over your little family members. I am currently working full time monday through friday. I'm available weekdays any time early morning until 7am, then 6pm—midnight. I’m completely free any time on the weekends. I bring a calm nurturing energy to every home, paired with a very type A, virgo rising brain (๑•̀ᴗ-). Your baby will always be safe and loved. I’m organized to the core and communicate clearly with you the whole time. Your pet and I are gonna be besties !!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
This was our second time booking with Kristy, and we couldn’t be happier! We were away for 10 days on our honeymoon and leaving our cat for that long was one of the things we were most nervous about, even more than the wedding! Our cat is anxious and can be wary of strangers but Kristy gave her the space and patience she needed, and by the time we came back she had earned our cat’s trust! Kristy not only took care of food, litter, and water, she also went above and beyond with enrichment while we were gone. She left treats around the apartment, brought over a box and moved it to different places for our cat to explore, and found little ways to keep her stimulated and entertained throughout our trip. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her. Having her care for our cat gave us complete peace of mind during our trip!
Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.
Elizabeth was amazing!!! This was a last minute request and she couldn't have been more accomodating and easy to work with. You can tell how much she cares as her updates were always thorough. So happy to have found her, she'll be our go-to sitter moving forward!
Arissa did a fantastic job caring for our senior cat, who requires medical injections. She is a great communicator, detail-oriented and pleasant to work with. She is a self-starter and I was able to relax while we were gone because she did such a good job. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
