“Lidia was the best pet sitter! She is so thorough, attentive, and thoughtful. She made sure my senior cat was very well taken care of! I found out the day before I had to leave that my cat has hyperthyroidism so I was worried about leaving him, but Lidia’s updates were very in-depth and made me feel confident and comfortable in his care. She will definitely be our go-to pet sitter from now on!”
“Jaidyn was fantastic while I was overseas in Poland and Switzerland for two weeks! She took amazing care of my four cats—Mandy, Lucy, Mochi, and Bodhi—doing daily drop-in visits. Every day she sent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being so far from home. Everyone looked relaxed, well-fed, and clearly loved. I came home to happy cats and a clean setup. Highly recommend Jaidyn for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter!”
“I can’t recommend Anne enough! She took care of my two cats for an entire month with daily drop-ins, and she was incredibly responsible, reliable, and caring throughout the whole stay. Communication was great — I consistently received updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book with Anne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Awesome! Will hire again. Dealt with all three of my big hyper dogs very well, cleaned up any messes was punctual and communication was on point. Planning to be a regular customer of hers for sure!”
“Bailey took great care of our cats and dog while away. We have a large Rottie that can be a bit intimidating but she handled him with ease. Her attention was much appreciated.”
“Tara was fantastic with our prone-to-anxiety elder dog — she did such a great job responding to his needs — I have no doubts she’d be a fantastic fit for any furry friend!”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for pets as a lifelong dog and cat owner and several years of casual experience pet sitting. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I grew up with dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m patient, observant, and take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or senior pets, and always focused on making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners, so you can feel confident your pet is in loving hands. I'm currently in school to become a physical therapist so I have time early in the mornings and after 3pm during the week. Most Fridays, I am off by noon. On the weekends I am completely open to help with taking care of your pets! I prioritize meeting the needs of the pets while making sure they are comfortable and cared for. For dogs, this includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I focus on consistent feeding, litter box care, play if desired, and creating a calm, low-stress environment that respects their personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and temperament, and I follow all owner instructions closely, including any medications or special care. I keep safety a top priority, provide updates and photos, and make sure both pets and owners feel at ease while they’re away.
“Julie is AMAZING!! We’ve never left our dog with anyone but family - she tends to be reactive and takes a long time to warm up to anyone. Julie understood exactly how to handle Nora and respect her boundaries while also providing excellent care and keeping us fully up to date. She will definitely be our first choice in booking future care for any of our pets. Thank you Julie!!”
“Great job taking care of my cats! Always sends me photos of my crew and makes sure they’re fed & watered! Appreciate the ability to administer some oral medications as well.”
About: Back in 2014, I attended Tennessee College of Applied Technology, graduated early with my diploma in Assistance Animal Laboratory Technicians, also with a certification in Purina Mills Animal Care Course. I have done an internship with North Shelby Animal Shelter as well as Bartlett Animal Shelte, where I took stray dogs/ abandoned out for walks and to play. Most of the dogs I encountered with at the shelter were sweet and loving dogs that just need a friend and time to spend with a person. I treated those dogs as my own. I have also intern at University of Tennessee Health and Science Center taking care of rodents, pigs, and other animals. I am someone who is mature, candid and who has integrity. Everyday I work to improve myself and my skills which is part of maturing and becoming better at what I do, this is why I want clients to choose me. I will treat your pets as my own pets. I will love and care for them, as if they where my own.
About: I have taken care of pets as long as I can remember. Aside from having two of my own, I also worked for 3 summers as a veterinary technician so I have significant experience caring for all animals including those with medical needs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. For house sitting, I can work from your home during the day if you have reliable wifi. I am available to care for your pet at your home to minimize the distribution to their schedule. Your pets safety and comfort is my top priority.

Amy saved the day when I realized that I never hit book after her coming by to get the key and pet instructions. She came over after 8:30 at night at the last moment to feed and cuddle. I’m super grateful and feel great about leaving my babies in her care!

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.
