“Another amazing trip because of Shelby and Dalton taking care of our fur babies. We never have to worry because they take extra care of our cats. They are so scared of everyone and they were holding our little girl before the trips end!”
“Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was there everyday I requested and did everything I asked during each visit. Loved the pictures! I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
“I’m so happy we stumbled upon Narges profile. She was super communicative from the start. She happily hopped on a facetime with us so we could be crazy cat ladies and explain the idiosyncrasies of feeding our cats. Every text exchange felt like it was with a friend …She sent pictures of our cats to us which made us so happy on vacation. 10/10 recommend Narges! :)”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for
“Jennifer watched our dogs for seven days while we were on a staycation. The thing I love most about her is that she is very communicative and friendly. My animals love her. She followed all of the care instructions & kept everyone happy, safe, fed & loved! We will definitely be using her in the future. Very greatful we found her!”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our two cats. She went above and beyond, helping with an unexpected package delivery. One of our cats is very shy and he warmed up to Lindsey which was great knowing he was not hiding the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Lindsey again!”
About: I’ve had a guinea pig, a bunny, and 2 dogs. I’ve always been an animal person. And I help my friends out by taking care of there pets. It depends on the my work day sense I do freelance contracting for production work. But I would have to what day you would want to book me for and times. It depends on how friendly the animal is and how many days I am pet sitting for. But I will feed, bathe, play and be around to watch what they do.
“Mackenzie is an exceptional cat sitter! From the moment we first contacted her, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Her punctuality was also remarkable. She arrived exactly when she said she would for every visit. She made sure that our two cats (they are really shy) were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates of the cats during each visit. Mackenzie went above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)”
“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”
About: I currently have 1 dog, 4 cats and 1 lizard. I have dog sat for family and friends for years. I dog sit on weekends at a senior dog boarding with up to 16 senior dogs at a time. I have experience giving oral, topical, ear/eye drops and injections to both dogs and cats. I have volunteered with TNR, helped rescue cats and finding them loving homes. I have been a medical assistant for 16 years and I’m currently in nursing school. I am a nursing student with classes Monday-Thursday, I'm available evenings and weekends. I love all animals, I can walk dogs, I can stop by for house visits and do overnights. I have lots of experience walking 3 dogs at a time, its challenging but very do-able. I have 4 cats so I am very vigilant of keeping them safely inside. I open the door carefully every single time and always make sure windows are closed and screen is intact. I am a little ocd with cleaning and making sure there is nothing toxic or poisonous in the house that can cause them any danger. When walking my dog Lola (who likes to eat everything) I am constantly scanning for things she might want to eat like chicken bones, old food or anything that might smell good to her. I will get it out of her mouth if she manages to get to something. I am very aware of my surroundings and checking that the house is safe.
“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! From fostering and eventually adopting my beloved Boston Terrier to raising six cats and caring for two large Labradors over the past two years, I’ve gained a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. One of my latest adventures in pet care has been preparing fresh, homemade meals from scratch every week for the two Labradors I care for. It’s given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of nutrition, consistency, and attention to detail when caring for animals. I also have extensive experience with house sitting and caring for pets while their owners travel. I regularly look after a friend’s beloved Bulldog while she’s away at her second home in Austin, Texas. One of my biggest pet-sitting experiences involved caring for six animals under one roof, three dogs and three cats, including a dog who required daily medication. I managed everyone’s individual routines, meals, and needs while their owners were away in Los Angeles, and everything went wonderfully! I’m especially comfortable with multi-pet households, large breeds, cats, and animals who need a little extra patience or attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I take pride in making their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. I also know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your beloved pets in their care. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing everyone is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time as an Esthetician, my schedule varies based on seasonal business changes, due to being at a resort. I have a lot of time off to dedicate to animals. I do not have set days off besides Fridays, but with enough notice I can make anything work. At home my pets have set meal times and bed times, but during the day are allowed to come and go as they please through the dog door and within the large acre fenced yard. How ever you’d like my time structured with your animal I will abide to. I am very flexible and know each family runs their homes differently, I am happy to help however you see fit.
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, aging or simply needs extra attention I’m committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable experience while you’re away. I’m available for 30–60 minute midday drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as after 4:30 PM on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible and I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their pets’ needs whenever possible. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime and companionship while ensuring your home remains clean, secure and exactly as you left it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Madison was wonderful! She seems to love our pets very much and our cats seem to love her. She is as very attentive for both her scheduled drop ins. She even cleaned our counters when one of our cats made a mess on it. Will definately be working with Madison again!
Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!

Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!
Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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.
