“Destiny was great! She was very communicative from the start, a pleasure to meet, and took great care of my cats while I was away. I came home to happy and healthy cats. :)”
“Kim is amazing. She helped watch my puppy almost every day for half an hour while potty training and crate training. She was in my home every day for months and it felt like she was family. Your pet and you are in excellent hands with Kim! Trustworthy and extremely kind! My family and I appreciated her so much”
“Mia is an absolute angel! We were so nervous about leaving our kitties on vacation and she made us and then feel comfortable. We recommend her to everyone who asks and will definitely be using her again :)”
“Gigi was very personable and did a great job taking care of Gus during the drop-in visit. She gave him lots of love, and we'll definitely be booking her in the future as well. Thank you Gigi!”
About: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family pets and now have three dogs of my own. My older pup is in her senior years and my rescue girl has come a long way since we brought her home. My fiance and I fostered 2 dogs in 2022 and hope to help more pups find homes in the future. I work full time Monday - Friday but I am able to work from home sometimes. On weekends I enjoy spending time at home and outside in our fenced in yard with the pups and my young daughter. I have a tall fenced in yard with lots of room to play. I also have 3 dogs of my own who are very laid back and relaxed. We keep a calm home and usually keep music playing while at work. We have a spare room and crates available if a pup enjoys having space to themselves.
“Thank you Brandi for being so friendly, ease to talk yo and flexible at the moment to agree on how to take care of out cat! We are very glad to have found you and we will for sure look to book you again in the future to take care of Abraham! Tatiana & David”
“Alana is the best! Not only did she take amazing care of my cats and chickens, but she sent us really cute photos and kept in constant communication. So thankful we found her!”
About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.
“I can’t say enough good things about Steph. She does a midday check-in for our 1 yo Australian shepherd a few days a week and he absolutely loves her. He can be a little particular about who he decides is part of the pack and Steph was able to warm him up very quickly, no doubt due to her extensive experience with animals. Steph’s communication is excellent, she’s willing to tailor her service to our dog’s needs and I have total peace of mind leaving our fur baby in her hands because she’s proven to be capable and dependable. She’s even brought one of her dogs and/or kids along sometimes to help us socialize him because I mentioned he struggled with those things. 10/10 would recommend booking Steph.”
About: I volunteer at a local cat shelter, have experience socializing kittens, shy, spicy, and senior cats! Have taken ASPCA shelter trainings. I have personally had both cats and dogs my entire life and have cared for family and friends pets. In addition, I have experience with special needs animals including diabetes and mega esophagus. I just became an empty nester and would love to spend my extra time caring for pets! I am available weekdays and weekends any time! I will spend time giving cuddles and pets to cats, changing litter, feeding and playing with your cat! Taking a gentle and quiet approach to those cats needing extra time and space with an unfamiliar person.
“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”
“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am also a Licensed Practical Nurse (for humans)! I have cared for neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends’ pets and am very trustworthy and caring. For most days, I’ll be home all day. I am pet-sitting and occasional babysitting at the moment so I will be there for your pet! I feed, walk, play, cuddle and give lots of love to all the fur babies and will do whatever else is requested (light housekeeping, vet appointments, etc.)
“Katie is extremely responsible and flexible to work with. Our kitties were very happy and well cared for, and we didn't have to worry for a minute while we were away. I highly recommend Katie.”
“Hannah was great about communicating and very professional. Due to travel problems some adjustments were needed at the last minute. I would definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Kristen did a great job with our cats! She is responsive and easy to work with. It gave us such peace of mind to have someone we could trust take care of our girls. We definitely plan on using her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 472 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rush. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rush. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
