“Bridgette was great! She updated us each time she visited and was great with our pups. I had a little trouble booking the stay and she was very patient with me while we figured it out. I'll definitely be using Bridgette again!”
“Marianna was AMAZING. She was very easy to communicate with and made sure our dogs were taken care of while we we're out of town. We are excited to plan our next trip knowing our dogs will be in good hands!!”

“Jacqueline and Michael were great! They were available at the last minute and came over the same day to meet me and my cat. They showed up every day at the exact time I asked and they gave my cat lots of love and even helped when he knocked over the Furbo (:”
“Great sitter! She worked with my dog who is super scared about everything. She is active and will take your dog on walks. She is good with alarms/other security tech. Would recommend!”
About: I’m Dom, a new, but reliable pet sitter! I’ve casually looked after pets before, but I am now looking to gain more experience. I am more knowledgeable about cats, and prefer to sit them, but I love dogs too! I am passionate about everything I do, and am always willing to go above and beyond. I look forward to hearing from you. I have two dogs of my own who are around 3 years olds, and I’ve done drop ins and dog walks before. I currently work casually and take online classes at college, meaning that I have plenty of time to play and hangout with your fur babies! I like to receive specific instructions, and I base of my care off that and breed knowledge. I am very good at following instructions and asking clarifying questions if there is any doubt.
“Laura was the best! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and spent quality time with our pets while we were out. This is our second time using her and will be definitely using her in the future!”
“Abby was so attentive to my pups! She gave them so much love and made sure they got lots of activity during her visits. She was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Kymberlee was absolutely amazing! She was so so nice and listened to everything I had said about my cat. Her positive energy immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew she would be perfect for the job! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13. I’ve always loved our sweet fur babies that my parents would bring home. Animals truly are family and I’d love to ensure that you can rest easy with your animals in my care. The pets I’ve taken care of have ranged from as small as bunnies and lizards all the way up to huskies! The weekend is a perfect time for me to take care of animals. My free time could be helping someone’s schedule who may not be able to handle their fur child at the moment. I take care of pets in other people’s homes by making sure to thoroughly follow any instructions that may have been left for me as well as keeping communication with the owner so they can stay updated with everything that is going on. Communication is very important and I would want to make certain that the owner will feel at ease with their pet in my care.
“Hannah was an absolute lifesaver, stepping in last minute to care for my senior cat. She was incredibly helpful, warm, and attentive, making sure my kitty was well looked after. I truly appreciated her kindness and the excellent care she provided!”
“Ashley made us feel so much more comfortable going away because we knew our cats were in good hands with her! We were so happy to receive daily photos and updates from Ashley. She truly went above and beyond to not only care for our cats but our home as well. We are thrilled to have her sit again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shotwell
Kristine took wonderful care of our cat, Mack, while we were away on vacation. She showered our boy with lots of love and attention, which gave us great peace of mind while we were gone. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout our trip, making it easy to relax knowing Mack was in good hands. Based on our experience, we would absolutely book with Kristine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!
I absolutely recommend Megan! She has watched our cat a couple times for us and has done a great job. My cat doesn’t like new people and needs her space, and Megan has been very understanding of that while still making sure she’s taken great care of.

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.
