“Chrissy was a great sitter for our cat, Nacho. He gets very stressed when we have to board him and this was the first time he stayed with a sitter. He came home and was his usual self... and I actually think he misses her. :) She also sent us a picture of him everyday to reassure us he was doing great. Thank you for keeping him happy and safe!”
“Jordana was so quick to respond and made communication so easy. We could tell she really spent quality time with our kitties with how well she spoke about each of their personalities. We would certainly hire her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of, and grew up with, many different kinds of pets. Before moving out, I spent 10 wonderful years playing with, and caring, my family dog and cat! If you’d like, I’d love to meet, care for, and befriend your pets as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday, but I have flexibility regarding my schedule. On weekdays, I’m more free in the afternoon but on weekends I’m free most of the day. I have a park next to where I live where I’d be able to take your pet out and play with him/her. My apartment is also pet friendly!
“We have used Bethany several times now to care for our two cats while we were on vacation. We have always been more than happy with her care and attention she gives our cats and appreciate the little extra things she does when we are away - bringing in packages, garbage cans, etc. we always choose Bethany when we are away!”
“Felt very comfortable leaving my cat with Camille! He seemed to be very relaxed with her and she sent a lot of pictures so I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry about him doing okay ☺️”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young! I have knowledge of young to elderly pets and pets with special needs. I like to be as open as possible so feel free to ask anything to put your mind at rest. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most days, with my only scheduled commitment being a Zoom class on Thursdays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have dogs of my own, so I’m already familiar with maintaining a consistent pet care routine. I would be willing to take them on walks, play with them, cuddle, and feed/provide any medication they may be on. I want you to feel confident about leaving your animals in my care. I am very flexible and willing to provide any care you normally provide for your fur baby.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I bring to every pet. I’ve had my cat for 8 years and have cared for family dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to caring for my own cat every day. I make time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and attention. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can make time for visits and care based on each pet’s needs and routine. I care for pets with patience, attention, and consistency. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect their home, keep things clean, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while they’re away.

“Gabrielle did a fantastic job. She sent us photos and updates. She even got our skittish cat out from under the bed sooner than we thought. The house was just as we left it. We will definitely be hiring Gabrielle and Rover in the future.”
“Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our diabetic cat Linus. She had the most charming and hilarious updates for each visit and took lots of pics of our gentle giant. I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox.

About: Hi! I’m an animal communication researcher with a B.A. in psychology and biology, and I’ve been passionately caring for dogs, specifically rescue dogs, since I was 13 years old. I currently live with a senior rescue dog, so canine companionship is a central part of my daily life! My scientific background gives me a unique perspective on dog walking and care: I understand canine body language, stress triggers, and behavioral signals, allowing me to create a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment for every dog. As I currently work full-time, I would be available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Monday through Friday's from 6 am-8 am and 6 pm-8 pm. I am also available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their regular routine intact so they feel safe, calm, and happy while you’re away. Safety & Routine First: I closely follow your instructions for feeding, routines, pet medications, and house rules. I will make sure doors and gates are secure, entryways are clear, and your home is kept neat and respected. Dog drop-in visits and walks: - Tailored Dog Walks: Walks are adapted to your dog's age and energy levels. From structured and mentally stimulating walks for energetic dogs, to slow and gentle strolls for senior dogs, I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities, activity levels, and ages. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in animal communication research, I monitor body language for signs of heat exhaustion, anxiety, or leash reactivity, ensuring every walk is low-stress and positive. - Post-Visit Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos, including notes on bathroom breaks, water bowl top-offs, energy levels, and any fun highlights from our time together! Cat drop-in visits: - Feeding & Fresh Water: I strictly follow your feeding routines, medications, wash bowls, and ensure fresh water is always available. - Litter Box Maintenance: Regular, meticulous scooping and area cleanup to keep your cat's environment clean and comfortable. - Play & Mental Enrichment: Interactive play sessions using feather wands, puzzle toys, or laser pointers for energetic cats, or quiet, gentle company and brushing for seniors or introverts. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in science and animal communication research, I recognize subtle stress signals, environmental triggers, and comfort cues, ensuring your cat feels completely safe and relaxed while you're away. - Detailed Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive a thorough report message complete with photos, notes on eating/litter box habits, and highlights of our hangout time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shakopee
Michele is amazing! She took care of my two cats for 2 weeks time frame and did an excellent job! You can tell she truly cares for animals rather than just doing it for the money. My cats warmed up to her and she sent detailed pictures after every visit, and responded promptly to any text messages. I am definitely booking her again when we travel. If you want someone to look after your pets just like you are and not worry about them, Michele is your person.
Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely recommend!

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.

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 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.
