She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”

“Cassandra was WONDERFUL! My cats were happy when I got home, but I could tell that they were lovingly cared for. Cassandra sent me pictures every day and messaged me to see if there was anything else that she could do for me. The house was immaculate when I came home and the sheets were washed. I would HIGHLY recommend this lovely caring young lady!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

About: I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, & family pets since I was in middle school. I own two very unique cats, Daemon & Love that i adore & keep me busy sometimes. I love taking dogs or cats on walks. I used to love having my dog go on a run with me, but she has long since passed away. She wasn't the best at some dog commands from training, but she did enjoy getting a treat when she did listen. My work schedule is flexible during the week due to my level. I typically can come anytime in the early morning to about 10am & then evenings after 6pm. If someone is very close by, I can stop over during a lunch break as well around 2pm. I live in a two story condo, so my cats typically have run of my house. I adapt to anyone's preferences & home environment to care for their family fur baby to make sure they are comfortable while someone ia away.

“Tori was a life savor, she took care of our very anxious and shy cat for the last 4 days. An unexpected trip put us in a true bind, I had reached out rather late in the night..she responded immediately and assured me that Penny will be taken care of and to not worry. It was such a relief! She came home, picked up Penny and shared constant updates thru the week..she was very much in tune with my state of mind as well and reassured me every step of the way that my pet is in good hands. I cannot thank Tori enough. Great communicator, has a lot of experience and is a very caring sitter. I am so relieved I found her and cannot recommend her enough to others.”

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Attention to detail and timeliness and super important to me. Trust me and I’ll watch your loved one like a member of my family. I work a simple 8-5 Monday-Friday. Looking to add a second income during these trying times. I do not do anything halfway. You’ll get the best service and communication you’ve received, which will make it hard to use anyone else after. 3-4 walks per day as well as at least 30 minutes of play time fully dedicated to my pup where he can let out all of his energy. I can tailor my routine to whatever your animals need.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, having been born into a family with two dogs and two cats. For the past 15 years, I’ve been pet sitting on and off, even as a kid, when my friends were babysitting children, I always chose to pet sit! I truly believe every animal has their own unique personality, and I have never met a pet I didn't like. I even adopted my own animals while living abroad in Ghana, and while they can be a bit "evil" sometimes, I love them entirely! I know how to appreciate and care for pets with all kinds of quirks, boundaries, and temperaments. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs at all stages of life, from energetic kittens and puppies to seniors needing gentle care. Drawing on my background in medical school, I am highly comfortable and capable when it comes to safely administering animal medications. Most importantly, I will strictly adhere to your pet's schedule, diet, and daily routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I have reliable transportation and a huge heart! Can’t wait to meet your fury family! Pet sitting is my main focus, giving me full-time flexibility and open availability to dedicate entirely to your pets. Because I have an open schedule, I can seamlessly adapt to your pet's exact daily rhythm, whether they need early morning walks, strict mid-day medication times, frequent potty breaks, or simply quality companionship throughout the day. Your routine is my routine. Integrity, trust, and clear communication are the foundation of how I care for your home and pets. My top priority is giving you complete peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved. I treat every home with utmost respect, leaving it spotless and exactly as found (or better, handling any senior pet accidents immediately and thoroughly). Experienced with walks, bathing, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I customize communication to your style, sending daily photo updates and detailed check-ins if you like to stay in the loop, or keeping it quiet and simply handling everything so you can fully disconnect.

“Chris and his wife took very good care of my Kitty Ember! They sent frequent updates and photos it her on an earring schedule that actually suited her better then mines did. As a first time pet sitting service user, I was ver anxiety ridden. I was unsure of leaving Ember with someone I didn’t know personally but they showed me why they have 8 repeat clients! Next time I go on vacation, I hope they’re still on Rover because their service was very much to my liking.”

“Kristie provided amazing service while caring for our 17 year-old cat while we were on vacation. She gave him lots of attention and was always on-time with giving him his medication that he needs twice a day. She gave us peace of mind knowing that he was being very well cared for. We will definitely use Kristie for pet sitting again!”

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!

About: Since I was a child, people would bring strays or unbalanced animals to our house who would suddenly be calm and comfortable in my care. I spent a lot of time in nature and wild animals would often follow me home. I now have my Masters of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis and wrote an original thesis on clicker training for service dogs. I am on the Board and a trainer for Hero Puppies for Life where we train service dogs for heroes with PTSD. We use positive reinforcement and are focused around relational bond training. This sets the dogs up for success to support their humans. We also teach their humans how to understand their dog's instincts and communication. I am quite passionate about it. :) Leo is my 7 year old black lab and personal service dog so your fur family will have free socialization and canine therapy in addition to my human care. He has worked with me extensively as a focal point in my approach to providing applied behavior analysis therapy to children and dogs. I trust our working relationship more than anyone on two legs. ;) Please feel free to ask me any questions about this dynamic! I am currently a full time student in an online, fully remote, tech program so I am very flexible when it comes to location, time of day, and duration for care. From the time I was in college, I always loved pet and house sitting. Opportunities for a change of scenery, in a fresh space, and caring for fur friends is always a treat. The care completely depends on the needs of the animals and home. I have administered meds, cared for young and old pets, implemented training, embraced snuggles, and fulfilled food orders that make meals look like a sundae.

I can’t recommend this amazing pet sitter, Sarah, highly enough. She cared for my cats (5) as if they were her own. Attentive, gentle, and incredibly reliable. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and regular updates, photos and videos, that put my mind at ease. Truly exceptional care. She goes above and beyond!

Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!

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.

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 .

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 , 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.
