“We had such a great experience with Carrie! She was communicative and responsive before and throughout our trip, sending detailed updates on each visit with our kitty. She took extra notes and asked during our intro visit to make sure all care information was clear. Most of all, she is a clearly kind and thoughtful person who is great with people and animals alike. I highly recommend working with Carrie!”
“She was absolutely amazing!! Communication was perfect the entire time! always sending updates and photos and letting me know how my kitties were doing. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. She went above and beyond, was incredibly thoughtful (even brought us yummy popcorn on her last visit ) and truly took such loving care of our cats. So trustworthy and kind! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Thanks so much for taking care of Buffalo and Tito. It is so helpful to get the photos and updates throughout the week knowing they were in good hands. Brianna also is very knowledgeable about animals and loves them, which is also very helpful. She helped us trim our bunny’s nails the last day of her service and was able to show me how since we hadn’t done that since we adopted him.”
“Alyssa took great care of my cat, Cuervo! He’s a senior cat and she had no problem cleaning up after his throw up accidents. Cuervo has a hard time warming up to people but all the videos and pictures Alyssa sent made me happy to see that he liked her and was excited to see her everyday.”
About: Hello! My name is Allen, and I moved to Portland, OR in October 2020 with my Airedale terrier, Busbee (we’re both originally from Atlanta, GA!). By day I’m a CPA, but my true passion is caring for animals. Busbee is an “only child” who absolutely loves playing with other dogs, so we’d be thrilled to host a playmate during the week or over the weekend 💕. I bring many years of pet and dog sitting experience—from quick weekend stays to consecutive months. I also have special expertise in senior dog care. Growing up, my family always had dogs (especially Airedales 😉) and even a guinea pig, so animal care has always been part of my life. Ideally, we’d love to host a friendly, sociable dog or puppy (whether high-energy or laid-back) who enjoys playtime and companionship! I work a flexible 4 day in office schedule. I take my dog Busbee outside and on walks about 4-6 times a day (wake up potty break, after breakfast poop walk, sometimes at lunchtime I come home from office to walk her, after work potty/before dinner time long walk, after dinner poop walk, and lastly bed time final potty before bed). Busbee is crate trained. At night she sleeps on her bed in my bedroom. During the day she has free roam of the house. I will try to replicate whatever my clients’ pet prefers.
“Brieanna is an exceptional Pet Sitter and wonderful human! The kitties were well taken care of and she was able to give my older cat Boris medicine, which is not always easy. When we got home, the house was clean and smelled good and she had taken out the trash and recycle and cleaned up after herself. Most importantly, my two cats were happy and relaxed.”
“Kimberly was the best! She was punctual and had great communication while we were out of town. My little buddy is not use to strangers but he warmed up to her very quickly. Kimberly went above and beyond and would love to rebook her in the future!”
“Brooklyn provides great care for my 2 kitties. I never felt anxious or worried about them while I was gone because I got multiple photos and an update with every visit.”
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
About: I don't have any "formal" experience training puppies or anything like that. I've just been a cat mom for over 30 years and share custody of a 16.5-year-old Golden Doodle named Maestro the Lady Killer. He loves going on short walks and getting treats afterward. I am self-employed and a contract social worker so I make my own schedule. Caring for your furry family members can happen when you need me. Your furry family member's safety is my top priority. As a pet parent, I will treat your furry family member the way I'd expect a sitter to take care of my furry kids. I follow instructions well, so if you tell me they have a strict feeding schedule, I will follow it.
About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’m an experienced, attentive pet parent who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I have three dogs of my own (one is a cat but she thinks she’s the head dog I think that counts right?), so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, quirks, and the little details that make each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need consistency, patience, enrichment, or a little extra attention. My professional background is in household management, where I’ve spent years coordinating busy households, managing detailed routines, and making sure nothing gets missed. I bring that same level of organization and reliability to pet care—but with a lot more belly rubs. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, communicate with you throughout their stay, and treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’d love to help! I am currently a business owner who works from home Tuesday through Friday with very flexible hours. My fiance is also home in the evenings and helps to keep the pups and kitty on their normal routine plus some extra hardcore playtime. Our normal routine is early morning sniff walkie (we call the shorty since we don’t get very far) then they nap the afternoon away and by 3pm we take our longer walk to stretch the muscles. 15-20 minutes of bully stick, lick mat, or mobility training (our senior gal is working on building muscle strength) in the late evenings and then they practice long self regulation relaxation on their own “place” while we work out in the gym. This is all in a perfect world! We try to teach them mental and emotional regulation so they can feel satisfied and we keep all our hair on our heads!
About: I’ve never understood why chihuahuas loved me so much until I realized how much people don’t respect the boundaries of such small creatures. So much so, they feel the need to be aggressive and defend themselves! I know a good amount about dogs and dogs breeds, how different breeds have different needs and will strive to meet the needs of your fur-baby! I am a full-time Master’s student, but my classes are on weekends only. I have many things to read so overnights would likely be spent playing with your fur-baby before I get some reading done for my degree. To make sure you and your fur-baby feel safe with me in your home, I will make sure to talk through routines you may have with your pet(s). I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, so I will make sure to send photos and videos as requested. I want to make sure I know how to properly care for your pets, so I may have a couple extra questions to figure out how I may support you and your pet.
About: Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know. I am currently a student who mainly works from home so I have plenty of time and a wide open schedule to care for your precious pets. My house is smoke free, pet safe and pet friendly. You can rest assured your companion is safe, cared for and happy with me. I love dogs and dogs love me!
About: I love any animals. I have taken care of tiny kittens to older dogs. I have worked with pit bulls, retrievers and other dog breeds. I am more then happy to go above and beyond to make sure your pet has a good time while you’re away. I work as a full time para educator during the day. But I am free on all weekends and most major holidays. So while people are on vacation or working I am more then happy to work with your pets. I live in a studio apartment with my senior cat with FIV. He is on a strict feeding schedule and is taken to the vet regularly. He has plenty of toy and actives in my place to keep himself occupied while I’m at work.
About: Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog around. Now in my own home I see just how much time and affection goes into having one. One day I’ll have my own but in the meantime, I love being able to spend time with a variety of fur babies 🥰 I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to work together to make sure your fur babies needs are completely met with all the love they need! Whether it’s “stay off the couch,” daily exercise, designated snacks, or dinner at certain times, I’ll be happy to be your gal. Your home, your rules!
About: Hi, I’m Cori! I grew up with dogs and have loved being around them my whole life. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside a positive reinforcement dog trainer, gaining valuable hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and behaviors. This helped me develop a strong understanding of how to support both dogs and their owners in building healthy, happy habits. Whether your pup needs a walking or running buddy, some playful company, or just plenty of love and attention, I’m here to help! My schedule is flexible, just ask! I often go for a walk or run in the mornings, at lunch or after work and would love to take your pup with me. We’ll go on frequent walks together, and I love coming up with games and puzzles to keep your pup mentally stimulated! Not currently offering pet care in my home, I’ll come to you!
“Did an awesome job taking care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. Great attention to detail and provided daily updates. Would definitely use Jordan again in the future.”

Once again, Holly took such amazing care of my two beloved kitties. She is very much on top of everything and so communicative every step of the way. She takes amazing pictures of my babies for me to see while I am away (my favorite part). But the kitties favorite part are all the cuddles and play time that they get with her during their visits. I’ll continue to reserve Holly for future cat sitting needs as long as she is available. 🐾
Ella went above and beyond this holiday weekend. Our kitty girl looked real happy in her photos and was well take care of! I want to shout Ella out for being respectful as well— I got a notification our front door was jammed (meaning not completely locked) after one of her visits. Wonky door. I didn’t realize until later but she was so quick to turn around and come to back to fix it for us. Looking forward to booking her again. Thanks Ella!
This is our second time traveling with Juli watching our girls! Juli is great with our cats and her daughter tags along so they get extra love and play time! We recommend Juli for anyone in need of a sitter. She’s responsive and well-versed in caring for animals.
Rachel was fantastic dropping in to take care of my cat. Very responsive and professional. Very attentive to my cat’s needs. And she was able to get me into her schedule despite my last minute request. Will definitely book her again if I need a sitter. Thanks Rachel!
Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
