“Madison did a great job caring for our shy little cat, SheShe. She is often timid with people, but Madison was kind and gentle with her, and even managed to coax her out for some petting. I highly recommend choosing Madison to care for your pets, she’s so kind and she loves cats (and dogs!). Will definitely use her again for pet visits.”
About: I’ve taken care and owned cats and dogs my entire life and have taken care of many of my neighbors and friends pets while they were away or on vacation. I’m currently working part-time until Christmas so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your precious animal. Even after Christmas my availability should be pretty open. Dogs are always leashed when outside. Cats sometimes come and go or they are an inside cat and need fresh water, food and a clean litter box
“Billie just stayed at our house for 18 days to watch our two cats (one senior and one teenager) & she is WONDERFUL! We had excellent communication leading up to the stay, regular feedback and pictures while we were gone, and we returned to a spotless house and two very happy cats. Billie is excellent at what she does for pets and we will absolutely use her again.”
“Declan was amazing! Came through on a very last minute emergency booking and was perfect. The cats were so well taken care of and Declan was the ideal houseguest. We will absolutely be calling on Declan next time we’re out of town!”
“Kamilla stayed at our house and took care of our two young cats for a little over a week. She was very communicative, took great care of the cats and was very respectful of our home. We have already booked her for two more upcoming trips and we would highly recommend her to anyone else!”
About: Favorite pastime: exploring with fur babies. I help friends with pet sitting, and I've also done pet/house sitting with Trusted Housesitters. I love exploring nature with animals, and can take them on long hikes. I can also play with them indoors for hours on end. I work freelance/remote, so my schedule adjusts to the pet's schedule. I have plenty of time to play with them, sit at home with them, or take them out for walks. Pets are always on a leash if out of the home. No phones on walks so I can be present with the animal. I can provide as much cuddles and validation as they need to ease their separation anxiety. I can also crate them if need be, this varies by pet and owner.
About: I've been taking care of and raising animals since I was a young child. Throughout my life I've owned many different breeds of dog, as well as sat for friends and family pets. I love to play with pets who are willing, or just hang out with them. My schedule is currently wide open for pet care as I've recently moved here from out of state. I can stay in your pets home, or just check in on them throughout the day. I'm currently not offering sitting in my home because I've got an old pup of my own, but I care for others pets as if they're my own. However if I'm pet sitting in someone else's home I follow the guidelines I'm given to the letter!
“Lexus stayed at our house for several days to keep an eye on our cat to make sure his urinary blockage didn’t come back. I was nervous about leaving my kitties with someone new, but Lexus did a great job giving them their medicine and was a very calming presence with them!”

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.
