“Joshua took great care of my boys. They can be a little skittish and warmed up to him on Day 1. Kept me informed of everything at home with lots of pictures. Will def book again next time I’m away.”
About: With several years of experience in pet care, I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of each pet and tailor my care accordingly. My hands-on experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication, and providing lots of love and attention. Ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority 🤗 Balancing pet care with my daily routine is a breeze because I prioritize my furry clients' needs. I schedule walks and visits around my flexible work hours, ensuring each pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Whether it's early morning strolls or evening playtime, I make sure to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care provider, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their safety and happiness with every walk and visit. Your furry family member will always be in caring and trustworthy hands with me 🐾
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
“Chelsea is amazing! She took care of my kitty Gigi over the holidays and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She even went above & beyond by caring for a betta fish as well! Both were happy and doing so great when I came home. Thank you so much, Chelsea! ?”

“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ana was wonderful checking in on our two cats while we were out of town! Even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot. She was extremely communicative, professional, and went above and beyond when an unexpected situation came up during one of her visits. Our cats clearly loved her, and we felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be working with Ana again!”

About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
About: I have extensive pet care experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, providing not just basic care but also companionship, playtime, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. My reliability, attention to detail, and deep love for animals truly set me apart from other sitters. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I prioritize their needs and adapt my day around their routines. Their well-being always comes first. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with secure spaces for rest and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavioral needs. I also keep communication open with regular updates, so pet parents feel confident and reassured while they’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16—starting with neighbors’ cats and dogs and sharing a dog with my sister in college. Now, at 26, I bring a decade of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of pet needs. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets—from energetic puppies needing training and playtime to senior dogs/cats who require gentle care and extra attention. I treat every animal like family and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and patient. I work from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons and evenings to give your dog plenty of attention. After work, I love including dogs in my outdoor adventures—whether that’s a long walk, a run, or some playtime at the park. On weekends, I’m flexible and happy to spend extra time making sure your pet gets all the exercise, cuddles, and care they need. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in my home for friends before, and they’ve always felt comfortable and happy here. My house has a safe front yard where pets can play and explore, and there’s a park nearby for walks and adventures. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets relaxed, engaged, and well cared for with plenty of attention, exercise, and love.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs throughout my life, and I currently have two cats of my own. Through both personal and family experience, I have cared for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who understands that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide reliable care and peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a high school athletic trainer, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer when school is out. This gives me additional time throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins into my daily routine comes naturally. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand the importance of consistency and reliable care. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra companionship while you’re away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I do not take care for animals in my home due to two cats already at home. In your home, I will be respectful of your space and the time that I have with your pet

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Karenna was absolutely amazing, she took the best care of my little old man kitty and was so attentive with him, I know he loved having her here while I was gone. Highly recommend her, she is very reliable and was able to take care of him with short notice when I didn’t expect to need a sitter :) We will totally rebook with her soon!
Joshua is an exceptional pet sitter! He accepted my last-minute booking when I needed to go out of town for an emergency. I was nervous to leave my cats, as they don't take distance well. Joshua was great with them, providing them the food, attention, distance and play they needed to feel comfortable. He even managed to get my most nervous cat to trust him after only a few days! Joshua is incredibly communicative and sends plenty of photos to help pet parents feel at ease. I certainly recommend him to anyone and would book again. :)
Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!
Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!
From the first message to our scheduled meet and greet, Mina impressed me with her friendliness, flexibility, and genuine love for cats. She arrived on time, asked great questions, and let my cats dictate the pace of their meeting - no rushing or forced interactions. By the end of just one meeting, my shy and anxious cats allowed her to come close and engage with them. I feel fully reassured and confident that Mina will take great care of them while I am traveling. Highly 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
