“Much appreciation for the evening visits George made to our beagle pup Saturday evening. Husband and I could relax and go into the city last minute and know our pup was being let outside to run around and not feel neglected. We appreciated the photos and note letting us know the pup was exercised and content. We also appreciated the pre-visit to meet the pup and get the lay of our home.”
“Jessica had great communication and sent us some sweet pictures and updates of our dog when we were gone! Happy to know he was loved when we weren’t home. Thank you!!”
“I was nervous to leave our rescue cats which we’d only had for a couple of months. Two weeks is a long time! Sarah did a great job and played with them every day. Will definitively call her again.”
“Happy repeat customer! Kassandra is amazing, incredibly responsible, and goes out of her way to do extra tasks that are not required but very much appreciated. My skittish kitties now recognize her, which is a huge relief for my family. We already have her booked for our next trip. Thank you again, Kassandra!”
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and chickens, so reading animal behavior, staying calm under pressure and knowing when somethings off comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve trained my own dogs, worked with rescue animals, and volunteered with KARE, where I help rehabilitate, both wild and domestic animals. That experience has taught me how to handle pets of all temperament and backgrounds, including those who were shy, anxious, or still learning the ropes. I personally cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, sugar, gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, turtles, parrots, and a wide variety of reptiles, so chances are, I’ve worked with a pet like yours before! I bring patience and consistency to every interaction, whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer house sit. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals, I understand them. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me, they’re a living creature who deserves calm, attentive care from someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing. i’m generally available weekday mornings, weekday evenings, and weekends. My schedule varies week to week, so I keep my calendar updated in real time. If you don’t see any availability that works, feel free to reach out as my schedule sometimes opens up with short notice! when I’m in your home, my priority is keeping your pet safe and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your KARE instructions closely, do a quick safety check on arrival, and reach out immediately if anything seems off. You’ll get photo updates every visit so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Ollie loved Kate immediately upon her first visit. Callie stayed under the bed but when I’d check in the cats via camera it was clear both were more relaxed. Kate was consistent, checked on Callie under the bed and gave Ollie all the love he would let her. We came home & Ollie did not do his usual stomp to every floor of the house screaming at us. Nothing in the house was messed up, nothing broken, all as it was left including happy cats. I’ll definitely be using Kate again.”
“She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Great energy! My dog absolutely loved her and it felt like he got all the attention he needed! Would definitely come back to Vicki to have her watch Kovu again!”
“Katie was great! She's a great communicator and kept us up to date on the visit. She asked questions as needed and was very thorough following our instructions. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Leanna! I’m an experienced house and pet sitter and remote freelance professional, which makes me particularly well suited to overnight and multi-day sits. Because I work remotely, I’m often able to spend much of the day at home with the pets in my care while keeping their normal routines intact. I enjoy the quieter side of pet sitting: keeping animals company, feeding and caring for them according to their usual schedule, maintaining a calm home environment, and making sure owners can travel knowing both their pets and their home are being looked after thoughtfully. I’m comfortable following detailed household and pet-care instructions, providing regular updates, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, keeping the home tidy, and noticing when something seems unusual. My best fits are longer house sits, cats and multi-cat households, lower-energy or older dogs, pets who appreciate having someone around during the day, and households looking for a dependable sitter rather than primarily a dog-walking service. I have previous house and pet-sitting experience and can provide references and testimonials. Generally manage breakfast and litter/potty needs first thing with my morning tea or coffee before starting work. Unless your pets have specific routines, I'll generally take breaks every few hours, plus meal breaks to do check ins, play time, snacks, and activity as needed. I'll make sure I have a thorough understanding of all systems, equipment, and routines you have at home and to respect how you prefer things done (e.g. Floor only, specific snacks, no human food, etc.)
“Melanie was excellent! She was reliable and kept me up to date on when she was planning to arrive and after she completed her visit. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 3 years, I love getting to see every pets' different personality and their quirks! I understand how much your pet means to you because they are family. I treat every pet with love and care as I would my own. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime or snuggles I would love to take care of your furry friend! I currently am involved with softball, so I am free Monday through Thursday till 6 for sure, but I am also available on weekends sometimes it varies by week. In my clients home the pet is the first priority. I play with them as much as I can or give them some snuggles if they would prefer that instead. I try to make to the best experience for your furry friend and also you!
“Chrissy took care of our 2 kitties over Thanksgiving and was absolutely wonderful. Great communication and took great care to ensure our kitties had plenty of stimulation and attention! Will hope to hire her again!”
“Alexis did an amazing job with my cat! She was able to give him his oral medication (which is not easy to shove down his throat) and his inhaler. She earned his trust and he loved her by the end. Alexis sent me videos and pictures every time she would drop in. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Elyse was amazing with our princess cat! Normally family/relatives watch our cat, so we were nervous...but after meeting Elyse, we knew our cat was in excellent hands! Elyse sent pictures & a thoroughly detailed note after each visit — next time we go out of town, I will absolutely be rebooking with Elyse!!”

Megan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals, and they loved her right back. We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!
We have used Kassandra for three years now, and she never disappoints. She takes great care of our two cats, sends us tons of pictures, and keeps us consistently updated. She goes above and beyond, vacuuming, taking out the trash, and more! We love Kassandra, and you will too!

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.

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.
