“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”
“Parris was absolutely amazing with Mason! She took such great care of him and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Mason can be a little particular, and she handled everything perfectly, from his routine to all the little details that come with him. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was reliable, communicative, and just overall wonderful to work with. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter. Thank you again, Parris!”
“After meeting and talking with Kari, I felt very comfortable with her caring for my 16 year old cat whom means the world to me. Kari is a very responsible individual, intelligent, caring and understanding. She asked great questions in the meet and greet and she provided great information. I intend to use her exclusively and recommend her to anyone. 5 stars”
“So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!”
“Hayley was dependable and always sent nice little notes and photos every day. She seemed to really care about my kitties ❤️ She was great with communication beforehand as well. Highly recommend!”
“Rebekah was great. We had some problems with our electric locks so she had to go to our our house twice the first day. She worked through the issue with us. Sent great pics and updates for every drop in. We knew the cats were being well taken care of. We will ask for her help again in the future.”
“Erin was fabulous and I will surely use her again. The cats were well taken care of and I enjoyed getting pictures of them daily. This is the first time I have left my girls for a prolonged period of time and knowing they were getting great care calmed my anxiety. Rover is a great service for pet owners and having people like Erin on staff gives credence to your organization! Kudos Erin and Rover!”
“Overall good and did what I asked. Did drop in for my animals (dogs, cats, horse, donkeys, and chickens). No one seemed upset and came home to all well. Only issue is had to prompt follow up communication. Will repeat her service!”
About: My whole life I've loved animals, it started as a young child when I'd rescue injured turtles and bring them home.. then as a teenager it turned into rescuing cats, dogs, geese, chipmunks, raccoons, opposums, rabbits, and birds. I had cats, dogs, fish and yes..2 rats as pets as a child. I currently have my kitty Luna, she's 5 years old and is just the sweetest little cuddle bug. Growing up I thought my animal soft spot came from my parents who used to occasionally rescue as well.. then I realized it wasn't that. It was just, I love animals. They're goofy beings, each with a personality of their own, and have nothing but love to give if they're treated properly. If I'm at an event, it's a guarantee I'll befriend the animals before any humans. I've been blessed that each animal I've connected with has picked up on the love I have for them and typically trust me just about instantly. Since my teenage years, I started doing daily drop-ins which quickly grew to over night stays for night long furry cuddles. I currently care for 4 familes, 2 with pets on medications and my flexible job lets me balance both perfectly! I've been a nail technician for 6 years, which has given me the flexibility to set my own schedule. Because of this, I can easily come and go as needed, fitting pet care seamessly into my daily routine. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care to each pet, ensuring they get the time and attention they deserve. At this time I only provide pet care in the clients home. I make sure to follow each pets routine closely, keeping their environment safe and familiar, and provide regular updates to owners. I ensure I keep a clean, secure space and respect each pet's, and their owners, comfort and boundaries so they feel at ease. I also pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I have my own car and hold my own personal vehicle insurace, so I can take pets to appointments or emergencies if needed, within reason.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a Catahoula Leopard dog and an Australian Cattle dog. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 and love taking care of/ walking dogs. I am currently a college student on summer break so I have a completely free schedule. I am free to walk or pet sit any time! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who are well socialized. My dogs are 4 and 1 years old and are medium sized dogs.
About: Hello! I have had a love for pets my whole life! Starting when I was 12 I began to check in on my neighbor's and family member's animals. I would walk them, feed them, stay the night with them, and love on them! As a recent high school graduate, I am free both weekdays and weekends for the summer and can put my full attention and energy into watching your pet! I always make sure that my animal's needs are taken care of first! I take them on nice long walks and play with them and give them as much attention as possible! I make sure to take them out every few hours depending on how big or small!

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.
