“Eric was warm and gentle caring for Cocoa. He was thoughtful and diligent to make sure he had everything he’d need to offer the best care. Will definitely book with him again. Thanks Eric!”
“Chelssey was absolutely wonderful and took great care of our dog. She was quick to reach out to do a meet and greet and went above and beyond to keep our dog well cared for while we out of town.”
“Natalie was incredibly professional and a wonderful caretaker to my two cats during her drop-in visits. I had a very stressful week while she took care of my cats, and she genuinely made my week less stressful because I had full faith in her ability to handle any situation that popped up. I highly recommend her services!”
“It was our first time leaving our kitty for an extended period of time - Anna took excellent care of our girl! She eased my worries with frequent text and photos updates and was very patient getting to know our cat. We also ran into some technical issues (on my end) and Anna was very flexible! We are so grateful for her.”
About: Hi! I’m a graduate student who loves animals and understands how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I have experience caring for dogs with different temperaments, including dogs with anxiety and dogs who need medication or extra patience. I’m very responsible, detail oriented, and I take pet care seriously - I know I’m caring for a member of your family. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, and any specific instructions you have. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m reliable and will always communicate clearly about timing and availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort comes first. I follow routines, use secure leashes, provide updates, and create a calm, safe, consistent environment for your pet
“Amy did such an amazing job! Even my shy cat came out for photos. She took extra care to ensure she was playing with them, which felt great as some people assume “they are just cats” and don’t need that extra interaction. Her updates were thorough, and I’m definitely getting some of the pictures she took of them framed!! After an especially scarring experience with a prior sitter, it feels nice to be able to trust someone again. Will definitely be using her again”
“A change of plans required a tweak to the scheduled time and Ashley was able to make it work! We scheduled for a longer visit, so our dog had a walk and lap tome. Her communication before and during the visit was excellent. Thanks!”
About: I've been caring for cats for over three years and have hosted more than 10 cats for overnight boarding and drop-in visits. Cats are my focus, and I've learned that the first few days matter most — a new environment can be genuinely stressful for them, so I never rush the process. I live in a large single-family home with plenty of space. Your cat gets their own quiet room to settle into on arrival, with food, water, litter, and hiding spots all to themselves. Most cats relax within 3–7 days, though every cat is different and I always go at their pace. I also have two resident cats (both 2+ years) and a friendly 2-year-old dog. All three are calm and well-socialized. If you'd like your cat to have company, I can introduce them slowly once your cat is comfortable — many guests end up making friends. If you'd rather your cat stay in their own space for the whole stay, that's completely fine too. It's your call. You'll get photos and videos throughout the stay so you can see how your cat is doing. I'm happy to follow your feeding schedule, litter preferences, and any routines that help your cat feel at home. Just let me know what your cat likes and I'll take it from there. I work from home most days, so I'm around for a good part of the day and can check on cats regularly rather than only at set times. Cats get fresh food and water in the morning, litter scooped at least twice a day, and play or quiet company in the evening when they're most active. For boarding guests, I check on the isolation room several times a day — short, calm visits so your cat gets used to me without feeling crowded. I'm home every evening and overnight, so your cat is never alone for long stretches. For drop-in visits, I'm flexible on timing and can usually fit in morning and evening slots. Just tell me the schedule your cat is used to and I'll match it. In my home: I live in a large single-family house with a fenced yard and no cat access to the outdoors — all windows are screened and doors stay closed, so there's no escape risk. Every boarding guest starts in a private room of their own with food, water, litter, a bed, and places to hide. That separation isn't just for introductions — it also keeps things clean and low-stress if your cat is shy or has never boarded before. I have two resident cats and one dog, all friendly and used to visitors. They never have access to a guest's room unless the owner has asked for gradual introductions and the cat is clearly comfortable. Most cats settle in 3–7 days, and I let each cat set the pace. I ask that boarding cats be up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention, and I keep the vet's number and your emergency contact on hand for the whole stay. I'll let you know right away if anything seems off — appetite, litter box, or behavior. In your home: I follow your routine exactly as you've written it — feeding amounts, medication, litter, and any spots your cat likes to be left alone. I keep doors and windows secured, bring in mail or packages if you'd like, and send photos and a short update after every visit so you know what happened while you were away.
“Shayanne was absolutely wonderful! She was super attentive, sweet, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was also incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with, which made everything so stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book with Shayanne again and highly recommend her!”
“We were grateful that Stephanie could help us out over the holidays. She was so gracious to pick up the keys and meet Layla on Christmas Day. Layla loved her. Everything went very smoothly. We highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Yvonne did such an amazing job caring for my kitten, Fazzie. She has such a warm, calming personality that made everything so much easier for him, and he absolutely adored her. She truly went above and beyond. When we ran into issues with my key fob, she even took time out of her day to work with the leasing office to get it fixed. Throughout the entire time I was away, she made sure every one of his needs was met and that he received plenty of love, attention, and comfort. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. I would 100% book with her again.”
“Hannah was so great! She took great care of our cat Etta. We got daily photos and reports, she even closed our shed door when a big storm blew it open. We will happily hire her again!”
“Alissa was very communicative during her check-ins with my cats. She sent lots of pictures and videos which was reassuring to know my cats are in good hands :) Will definitely rebook next time I’m out of town!”
“Dustin took great care of our two cats! He was very responsive and professional and followed our directions. Our very shy cat even came out to greet him so clearly he knows what he’s doing! We will definitely book again!!”
“Excellent dog sitter! Gave us lots of updates even for a short visit and took wonderful care of our girl! Highly responsive and understanding of our dogs specific needs.”
“We LOVE Eleyna! She was so amazing with our dogs and each of their needs. Communicated/sent pictures the entire time & made sure to know every detail to best care for them. Seriously can’t recommend her enough”
“We really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!”
“Chris is a wonderful pet caregiver! He was an exceptional communicator from the first messages all the way to the detailed updates while we were away. It truly felt like he went above and beyond! He took excellent care of our dog, ensuring our pet felt loved and well-cared for. I highly recommend Chris for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet caregiver!”
“Riley was great with my 3 cats. The were very responsive while I was away and sent photos of the cats. Everything was in order when we returned. I would definitely book Riley again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood Hills
Sumedha was the absolute best. Prior to having her watch my two kitties, I had never used Rover. I am so glad I did. She created a google document an shared it with me, and it included times in and out, as well as pictures of both my kitties with captions about what they were doing! Her notes were detailed and she followed all care instructions meticulously. I would highly recommend her for the peace of mind while traveling. I will surely be booking with her again! Thank you, so so much!
Ashley is absolutely amazing! I have one cat with high separation anxiety. I love that every time I return from a long trip. My kitty is happy and acting completely normally no anxiety, present or issues at all. Ashley loves what she does and it shows in how she cares for my girls.
Amazing as always. This is my third time using her. Her communication is great, my shy cats love her and the pictures she takes are so adorable. I’ve had a not so great experience with a rover sitter prior, but I trust her so much. Having peace of mind that my babies are well taken care of feels so nice!

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.

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 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.
