“Kristi took very good care of our cat when we were away. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time and appreciate all the beautiful photos of her while we were away. Mind was at ease knowing she was getting good care.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! I grew up with dogs and have cared for pups of all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy and ready for a long walk or would rather spend the day playing, getting belly rubs, and hanging out, I’m happy to keep them company! Friends and family have trusted me with their dogs when they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make sure your pup has a fun, happy day while you’re away! ♡ I’m currently working towards a masters and my classes are all at night. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets during the day! I’m available for walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the weekdays, times when your pet might otherwise be home alone. Weekend availability varies, so feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to let you know what I can accommodate. ⚠️ Quick Note on House Sitting | Boarding My standard overnight house sitting rate includes overnight care and plenty of time with your pet throughout the day, as long as they’re comfortable being left alone for up to 3 hours. This allows me to occasionally step out for groceries, errands, or other short bookings. If your pet needs constant care and cannot be left alone due to medical needs, recovery, puppyhood, or separation anxiety, just let me know before booking! I’m happy to discuss their needs and arrange an hourly rate for constant care. I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and whatever care they need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾
“I had a great experience with Katie, malinky was very comfortable to comfortable since he didn’t wanna leave. Katie daily informed me about his routine and sent me pictures and videos. Love it and thank you so so much Katie.”
About: Hello, My name is Jayne and I would love to help you! I’ve had cats and had a childhood dog my whole life. I’ve done everything from the walks to the litter clean up and I love doing it for the animals that do so much for us. Would love to service all your needs! I work the typical 9-5 but would love to talk care of your animal companions beforehand or in the weekend. I am flexible on the weekend. I can feed, provide water, clean litter, walks, and overall companionship in your home or mine. Would love to provide a safe environment with any animal.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have 5 years experience working in 2 different dog daycares watching dogs from all sizes, providing meds, cleaning up after them, and feeding them. I am also dog behavior certified. I am currently a full time student completing my masters degree online so that means plenty of flexibility within my schedule. I am able to work M-F from 7-5pm and can stop by for night check ins for up to 30 min to an hour for dinner feeds and nightly walks. I care for your pets by stopping by up to 3x a day for tummy rubs, daily feedings and snacks, and lots of walks to get both our steps in!
“Melina was so great with my dogs! I have a huge 120 pound dog who can be a little naughty and a little bulldog mix and she was incredible with them both! I came home from my trip and they were content and not stressed out at all. Highly recommend Melina and I will definitely be using her again :)”
“Brianna was the best. We had great communication before, during and after the drop-in. The photos were unexpected and gave me peace of mind. And thank you for doing this last minute. I don’t know what I would have done without you. Will be seeing you again!”
“Kayla was great with my dog. He is older and can be a little stand-offish but she was very patient and understanding. She was communicative and let me know exactly how they were doing. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I am a dog fanatic, looking to give your pooch the love, care, and attention he/she deserves. With four dogs of my own, (ranging in sizes from small to large), I am very experienced at caring for all dogs from walking and feeding, to administering medications and making vet visits. If you are looking for a kind, responsible sitter to give your dog the love they deserve, I'm perfect for the job! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in your home. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away! I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and ready for an adventure or prefer a little extra patience and a quiet visit. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water, meals as needed, and a clean, comfortable space before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Isaiah is such a blessing. Isaiah was quick and easy to communicate with. (ProTip: message from the Rover app directly, not the SMS text that you get from Rover.) Isaiah quickly made a plan to come over and meet my 3 Maine Coon Cats. He asked all of the right questions, things I didn't even think of. We made a plan for next month, but when a last minute weekend trip came up, Isaiah was right there for us. He sent Great Pics of our kitties and I could tell they were very comfortable with him. When we've left the kitties all alone for 48 hours once before, it took days for them to relax into their regular personalities after we returned. Not the case when Isaiah cared for them. They were chill and happy, as usual. I know that he cared for them and gave them lots of pets and brushes. Isaiah is a Top Notch and Trustworthy Caregiver.”
“Megan was extremely helpful taking care of our three cats while on a recent vacation. She made sure to check in and share photos of the cats while we were away. Definitely recommended for your pet sitting needs.”
About: As a young child, I grew up with five dogs in the house at a time. Three Yorkshire terriers and we rescued greyhounds. I have always had a love in my heart for animals and dogs specifically. I have worked at pet resorts taking care of dogs and cats. I have dealt with all types of dogs and their different personalities. I have training in administering medications and being precise in measurement when feeding. I am knowledgeable about different types of harnesses and precautions when walking your pups. I also work for Wag! And walk a number of different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have my own chihuahua mix named Jackson who I love with all my heart and I take care of him everyday. Working with animals is my passion and I can’t wait to meet all your furry friends!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southampton
This was our first time using Suki for our cats and she was GREAT! She said she would do evening feed at 5 pm and morning feed at 6:30 am and she arrived at exactly those times. She fed everyone, changed waters, cleaned litter boxes, cleaned up cat bowls from prior feeding and left everything exactly as she found it. We would absolutely recommend Suki and will use her as our petsitter again!
Maddie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away, especially our one kitty that requires a daily medication pill. Although the daily pilling was not a favorite activity for our cat, Maddie showed patience and did her best to gain her trust. I felt at ease knowing Maddie works as a Vet Tech and has experience with animals. She made sure to give treats and participate in daily playtime. We will request Maddie again in the future.
Anastasiia has watched my baby cat Valentina for about 1.5 years, and I cannot trust anyone else as much as her! She follows all instructions, makes me feel at ease while I’m away, and is so kind to my baby. She also does not complain if I ask her for some requests. She willingly and happily treats all her clients amazingly. She also sends food of her cleaning the bowls, videos of playing with my baby, and even takes picture of the litter box because I am an anxious cat mom. She is amazing and I will always go back to her!
Nikki, was great ! My one cat is very shy when anyone comes in the house she hides. Nikki was able to get her to come out a little bit. My other cat is a senior and very friendly and loves affection. Nikki was very friendly and helpful with the girls. I would have her take care of them 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 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.
