“Becky is the best! Our cat is shy and moody and wouldn't come out from her favorite hiding spot under the recliner for her insulin shot. Becky stayed longer than the visit to try everything she could to get her to come out. Thank you!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kasandra did such a great job! She was on time for each scheduled first, we got pictures, and love the app updates! Our fur babies seemed so comfortable and have already rebooked her for our next vacation!”
“This was the second time Sydney watched my cat and she was very well taken care of! She sent great pictures while I was out of town and Zoey was happy when I got home. Thanks again, Sydney!”
“Taylor did a great job! I really appreciated that she walked Roland for a shorter period due to the heat, but still played with him indoors for awhile to help him burn off some extra energy. Definitely made me feel like he was well taken care of while I was at work!”
“Sarah is fantastic! Our cat really did well under her care, and we loved the check ins and photos that Sarah would take for us. Super responsible and responsive. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time healthcare worker and college student with a lifelong love for animals. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets and those who need medication or extra attention. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax with a new friend, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time in healthcare during the day, which has helped me become responsible, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I’m available most evenings after 5:00 PM and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. I treat my pets like family. They have automatic feeders and water fountains, clean litter boxes, regular grooming, quality food, and plenty of love and attention. I stay on top of their health, routines, and any special needs to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable every day. 🐾❤️
“Isabella was absolutely phenomenal. She was very friendly, timely, and took great care of our cat during a week long trip. I would highly recommend contacting her for your pet needs!!”
About: I had a couple dogs growing up and was heavily involved in the training process. Recently, some friends have gotten dogs and I have taken care of them. Until the end of August, I am a teacher on summer break and have lots of flexibility in my day. Once the school year starts on September 1, I am going to continue caring on weekday nights and some weekends. I am unable to board pets at my apartment, but have frequently taken care of friends pets at their houses. With a little profile on your pet, I can accommodate their needs.
“I had a great experience with Chentel! She took wonderful care of my kitten Benny while I was away and kept me updated with photos and messages every day. It was clear that my kitten felt comfortable and well taken care of—something that gives so much peace of mind when you’re traveling. When I returned home, everything was tidy, my kitten was relaxed and happy, and it was obvious that Chentel been attentive to him. I highly recommend Chentel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Benny is looking forward to seeing her again. I've already booked her for Christmas!”
“Bayleigh did a great job watching my cats! She provided updates and plenty of photos and pictures each day. She spent time playing with them which I know they appreciated and she did everything I requested during her visit. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for dog walks or quick let out visits so your dog can get outside and stay comfortable. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home to provide consistent care and support for your dog in their familiar environment.
About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

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.
