About: I've cared for both Dogs and Cats for over 15 years including volunteer work, paid sitting, and personal pet care. I have a passion for making pets feel safe and comfortable in the absence of their owners. I work full-time, but available for early morning, midday, and post-work walks and care. I am available on most weekends, and can stay overnight if needed. I walk, feed, play with, and administer medication as needed for Dogs and Cats. I am patient with all pets, and easily accommodate any special treatment needs.
“Catelyn was very conscientious. She admitted that she was new to sitting for cats, mostly has taken care of dogs, but my cats got on with her well. One is 20 and basically sleeps. Catelyn had her playing with a felt ball. The other is usually very shy and gets snarky with strangers, but Catelyn got her to play as well. She contacted me if she had concerns. She sent pictures frequently. She offered extra assistance if needed. The house was clean when we returned home. Overall a good experience and I would recommend her.”
“Christina helped us with a drop-in visit on very short notice, leaving us three very happy dogs. She showed a quick understanding of their unique personalities, and gave us a nice summary of all their activities, including photos.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention while in my care. I currently work as an automotive technician in Braintree MA. I work from 7-5 most days, with a lunch break at 12:30. I am more than happy to provide service on my lunch breaks as well! I am off Wednesday and Sunday every week, along with some holidays off. I am able to house sit any day of the week, and able to walk, or care for three times a day on work days and all day on days I don’t. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and boarding. Having cared for four cats and two dogs of my own and through family pets, I’ve developed a genuine love for animals and their unique personalities. I’ve also occasionally pet-sat for family, and I always go the extra mile to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe every animal deserves patience, affection, and personalized attention, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving plenty of love, attention, and the best possible care while they’re away. I do also have my own floor in my apartment that I can have pets in!
About: I have 1-2 years of experience of caring for dogs and pets throughout college! I have specifically cared for medium to large sized puppies and seniors! I am great at dealing with energetic dogs who love to play as well as chiller dogs who love to lounge. I am currently a full time graduate student at Boston University, but I am largely available on weekends and nights! I can house sit on Friday and Saturday nights, and can go on walks everyday at night! My apartment building has its own fenced dog park with room to run and play. I can bring my own pee pads, treats, and toys!
“Jeremy and Rui were so wonderful, sent amazing updates and photos. They left catnip and treats around for the girls and we came back to two very happy cats. We were able to enjoy our vacation and had no worries that the girls were in great hands!!”
“Richie was very accommodating and receptive to the needs of our kittens. He was delightful to communicate with and responsive to all our needs. I would highly recommend him and use him to care for our kittens in the future. Thank you for all the tenderly loving care.”
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
“We highly recommend Ayana! Our cat can be very shy and particular, but she warmed up to Ayana quickly. Our cat received great care during our trip and Ayana was very accommodating and communicative throughout. We're already booking her again for our next trip out of town.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I’ve rescued and cared for kittens, helped train dogs, and have plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and enjoy getting to know each pet. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can usually accommodate different times with advance notice. know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I always want you to feel comfortable and reassured. I’ll treat your pet like my own, follow their routine and your instructions, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away if you want!
“J was a fantastic stay-in catsitter for my foster cat, Lyric. She stayed for six days and nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Lyric can be shy, but J did an amazing job bringing him out of his shell. She got him using cat beds and toys he’d never shown interest in before. J clearly has a wonderful instinct with cats and a very calm, positive presence. J also took excellent care of the house, kept the litter very clean, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay. J sent lots of photos and videos, and as a former professional photographer the pictures were truly beautiful. As a thoughtful surprise, J even left a small painting of Lyric on a wooden block, which meant a lot. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend J to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful cat sitter.”

About: From 🦀 to 🐴 (but no seahorse experience, sorry) I adore all creatures great and small, “and your little dog too” as someone who didn’t much like to get wet once said! Experienced, sincere and trustworthy housesitter and petsitter but new to this app, I’ll add some of my favorite fur-tography inevitably but many are passed away and it makes me sad. My undivided attention, I’m doing this because I love to, not because I’m bored. It’s worthwhile to me to be of use. To the old fashioned manners born, to treat another’s home with respect and care, to leave any place indoors or out of doors in a golden-rule adjacent way.
About: I've lived with and cared for cats my entire life! I've always lived with a pet and been a designated caretaker for family pets as long as I can remember. I grew up with a cat with many health challenges so I have lots of experience administering medication, monitoring for health abnormalities, and caring for overly anxious pets. I've lived with and cared for kittens, purebred long hair cats, adopted shelter cats, and my lovebug feral street cat, Jinkx! I'm very accommodating and adaptable when it comes to pet care. I'll always be trying to make it work for your schedule. These are our babies and they deserve an abundance of love and care! I will definitely be the sitter that sends you too many pictures and accidentally stays too long playing. I'm a queer person, so if folks are looking for a safe community member, that's me! I have my own car so I am very flexible with travel and am able to commute quickly! I'm currently an independent contractor as I do freelance stage and production management. My fluid schedule allows for me to set my own hours and work how I want. I take care of my own pet everyday, so helping yours is easy! I have full availability at the moment and am looking to find some regular clients. For house sitting, drop in visits, or walks I am always making sure that comfort and connection are central to my care. If we aren't a great fit, that's okay! What's important is establishing trust with your pet and respecting their space.
About: I just left my job after many many years. I worked in the addiction recovery sector. I have found myself still having so much in my heart to give I am retired and home so while I am babysitting your fur baby I will be sure to schedule things remotely. That way he or she will get the attention they need while you are away I take dogs on a walk regularly on a leash. Also, there is lots and lots of love to go around here for your fur baby while yo are away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Scituate
Calandra was wonderful to work with! She stopped by beforehand to meet Myla and Asher and go over their care instructions, and she was reliable and punctual with her twice-daily visits. I especially appreciated the adorable pictures and thoughtful updates she sent after each visit. She really took the time to notice their little personalities and share how they were doing, which was such a nice touch! She was friendly, nice, and professional. I would absolutely recommend Calandra and would love to have her care for Myla and Asher again!
Patti is incredible!! She is attentive and detail-oriented, which is important when you have an older cat who needs insulin injections and other medication. She is so caring and warm, our girl loved her immediately! We appreciated her thoughtful notes and photos at every visit, and were thrilled to come home after a long travel day and find homemade treats waiting for us! Patti truly goes above and beyond - we are so grateful to have found her.

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.

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 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.
