About: Hi! I’m Kat! 🐾 I've spent much of my life around & caring for animals, I’ve assisted in volunteer work at a shelter working with animals of all type & size! I have experience with animals with: special needs, medical conditions & special diets. Pet care & well being is my priority, I want to ensure a happy and comfortable experience for you & your animal companion. I'm now exclusively working in animal care & services! My schedule for booking is updated regularly, if there is a date that is unavailable or booked out, please reach out. I may be able to open up my schedule for you! Health, safety and well being of an animal is a priority to me, in my personal life and in the experience I have caring for animals, it is not something I take a risk on and is my priority as a guardian and caretaker, I do not take any chances with possibilities of potential harm or safety of an animal. I also keep extra leashes & leads, cooling collars for warmer days, bowls, bathroom bags, and safety gear in my car + on me at all times during our bookings. I carry water with me on walks as well for our furry friend!
“Jackie is always phenomenal with our pup Nigel! She goes above and beyond every time and Nigel is always excited to see her. Jackie is always the sitter we call when we need someone and I’m so glad we found her!! She’s communicative, responsible, kind, and all around amazing :) don’t hesitate to book with her!”
“Carissa has made this process easy and stress-free, it’s refreshing to know that my cat is in good hands. And better yet, you can tell Carissa is a true pet lover, she’ll care for your pet as if it’s one of her own. She even texted updates along with videos of my cat (who looked very happy to see her)! I will 100% continue to contact Carissa to watch my sweet boy while I’m on trips.”
“Renee has been amazing! My shitzhu isn’t used to being left alone during the day as I used to work from home. Renee comes over and takes him for a walk and plays with him and gives him lots of love. I would recommend her highly.”
“Robyn was excellent! She followed all requests to a T and was super detailed on how her visits went. She provided lots of pictures which I loved as well. I’ll definitely be requesting her again!”
“Danielle is a great sitter! Even though we organized our stay kind of last-minute, we were able to get in a meet and greet, and she instinctively knows all the right questions to ask to make sure your visit is worthwhile! She provided great updates and photos during the stay too, which is the most relieving part. Danielle was not only a great choice to check in on our cat Trebek, it is great to have someone check on the house while away. We hope to work with Danielle again and will definitely be going to her first for our needs!”
“We had such a great experience with Hannah. She took care of our cats for nearly two weeks and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We received regular updates and lots of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again!”
“Ally was amazing! She took such great care of my two cats. 🐈 🐈⬛ She sent fantastic detailed updates and lots of photos on every visit. Ally really went above and beyond. I am super grateful I found her. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“This is my second time using Autumn, and I always feel very relaxed leaving Quentin. Autumn always gives me updates and I love the pictures. She goes above and beyond and I am grateful to have found her on rover. She plays with Quentin and I know he’s in great hands!! I will definitely be requesting her services again next time we go away. Thanks Autumn!”
“Krystal did such an amazing job looking after my cat! Her notes keep you reassured that your pet is being looked after with a lot of care. Also, she takes the best photos of your pet!!”

“We can always rely on Jess to come check in on our cat when we are out of town. She consistently goes above and beyond to take care of Gwen as well as our house. Highly recommend!”
“Jen was beyond amazing with our shih tzu. Her detailed visit notes and pictures let us know that our fur baby was in excellent hands. She treated our dog like one of her own. We are so happy that we already booked our next vacation and will have Jen watch him again! Highly recommend!”
“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”
“Ashley has come over multiple times for our two dogs - she is amazing with communication and our dogs love her. We have two pit mixes (one is very hyper and the other is a lazy girl) and Ashley has done a wonderful job managing them both. We are happy we found someone we trust for drop in’s ☺️”

Stephanie is always the best with Frankie! Her attention to detail and updates are impeccable. We’re so grateful for her. I also had to modify my arrangements mid trip and she was so accommodating last minute. She’s extremely professional, caring, and detail oriented. Thank you Stephanie!
Heather was super responsive and set me at ease with my first time utilizing Rover. She was very accommodating and I will absolutely utilize her again for drop ins when I am away in the future. Thank you again Heather. You were the highlight of Fig’s weekend as well!
Sydney was wonderful to have watch my cat! She was super prompt with visiting on the scheduled times, and she sent such good updates and cute photos. I could tell she also gave my cat so much love while I was gone. Sydney was also sweet enough to water my outdoor flowers everyday, which I was so appreciative of. I will definitely request Sydney to cat sit again in the future.
Ally was simply the best. Constant communication, and most importantly my cats took to her immediately! It’s so comforting knowing while I’m out of town I have someone back home who loves and cares for them like they were her own, truly the best! . I would highly recommend her, she cares a lot and it shows in her check in’s, and the fact that my cats were belly up for her ready for some pets!
Jackie went above and beyond our expectations for cat-sitting services. She was patient and willing to do a meet and greet before booking, made sure she understood feeding and medical instructions, and offered to take care of other things around the house while we were away. She was prompt and communicative and I’m so glad we booked with her! Will definitely use her services again soon. ☺️
Hannah was incredibly attentive and responsible while taking care of Delta during our time away. She kept the litter box and food bowls clean, and we really appreciated the thoughtful care she provided. We’d be more than happy to book with Hannah again in the future!
Stephanie came to the rescue as a cat sitter for my sweet kitty (who we had never been away from) during a very stressful time in our lives. She was extremely kind, communicative, and helpful, and flexible with our rapidly changing schedule. Our kitty took to her immediately, which was amazing because he is usually likes to observe for awhile before deciding about people! She has a calm energy about her that he really responded to, and they were quick friends! Stephanie followed my rather comprehensive care instructions perfectly, and it was obvious how well cared for he was while we were away. It was so reassuring to know that things at home were well under control, and that our kitty now has a friend we can call next time we are away!

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.
