“We’ve had Hadley take care of Nini several times now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, caring, and always takes great care of her. Nini already recognizes her before she even comes through the door and runs over to greet her, which says it all. We’re very happy to have found her and would absolutely recommend her!”
“My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.”
“Lauren did an amazing job pet sitting while we were on vacation. The app was so easy to use; Lauren was so responsive, friendly and we didn’t have to worry once about our furry babies. Lauren allowed us to focus on our vacation and have fun. Lauren sent photos of our fur babies every day, which really made us feel comfortable and at ease. You could tell that Lauren genuinely enjoyed spending time with our children and they felt comfortable enough around her to come out and get love (cats). We will definitely reach out to Lauren for future trips and vacations. We highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs, your fur babies will thank you!”
“Ally was simply the best. Constant communication, and most importantly my cats took to her immediately! It’s so comforting knowing while I’m out of town I have someone back home who loves and cares for them like they were her own, truly the best! . I would highly recommend her, she cares a lot and it shows in her check in’s, and the fact that my cats were belly up for her ready for some pets!”
“Audrey did a superb job making sure our two cats, Florence and Augie, were well taken care of while we were out of town. She was great about sending us lots of updates and cute pics to put our minds at ease so we coul enjoy ourselves and not have to worry whether they were getting enough attention. We came home to two happy cats who have never gotten along better, tidy litterboxes, and a kind note. Thanks Audrey!”
“Heather was super responsive and set me at ease with my first time utilizing Rover. She was very accommodating and I will absolutely utilize her again for drop ins when I am away in the future. Thank you again Heather. You were the highlight of Fig’s weekend as well!”
About: I’ve been on Wag for a while and loved it so I wanted to expand my business to Rover! I’m looking forward to becoming a regular caretaker for your furry friend. I’ve done drop-ins for friends, families and clients on vacations. I make sure they get some loving and pets during each drop-in. I also have been volunteering at cat and animal shelters since high school. I love dogs and I like to run with dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs that pull. A little about me. I’m a Master’s student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently work with children with Autism. Other than that, I love being active and enjoying nature. I am patient and understanding of any specific request you would want! I adore animals so I assure the best quality of care possible! I currently work part-time so I’m always looking for walks on my off-time. I’m available for sittings/boardings everyday unless I’m on vacation! I have a clean studio. I have a balcony, large windows and a big windowsill for your cat to sunbathe in. I have space for all of your cats’ needs!
About: I’ve taken very good care of my cat for the last few years. I love the little guy, it has inspired me to want to take care of other cats. I work full time, so I can only make appointments for the evenings. I work a 9-5 Monday thru Friday. I am available on weekends too. For my home my cat has everything he needs, including lots of toys, scratching posts, scratching pads, cardboard boxes, and lots of really good catnip.
About: I grew up with a dog and cat of my own, and was frequently left to watch the house and pets during family outings. Since moving out I've continued to frequently watch after my family's cats when they are out travelling. I have weekly appointments that take 1-2 hour 3 times a week. Other than that, I'm very flexible and can work around most things! I'm available for holidays! I like to try and learn about the animals individually! Learning one's personality is key to providing good care and a comfortable environment. Keeping up with the instructions left and letting the animal know I am a friend to them is the most important!
About: I have grown up and taken care of animals most of my life. I am a reliable care taker who prioritizes communication to give you and your furry friend the best experience I possibly can and beyond. I am currently working part-time which makes my schedule perfect and flexible to help out wherever is needed! I have reliable transportation to get me to and from your furry friend! I am comfortable doing home visits whether that be for a few hours a day or over night. I take pride in my ability to give your furry friend the love and attention they need while you are away!
About: My name is Christina and I would love to be your pets home away from home! Our family loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for and pampered while you’re away. Our family includes myself and my husband, and our two kids who are 9 and 15. We do not have any pets in our home right now, so your pet will be the center of attention! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones. I’m currently working remote, with one day in the office so I am able to do frequent bathroom breaks and afternoon walks. My husband is able to assist with care on my days in office. I aim to keep to your pets normal schedule as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard. My kids are 9 & 15 and they adore animals.
“I am very pleased with the service provided by Madalyne, She was punctual, and there were no last minute changes in the schedule. The slight change that made was agreed upon well before the sitting session started. It is my hope that Madalyne will be available for future sessions. As of now, she is my go-to person at Rover”
About: I’ve raised and taken care of my own pets, friends and neighbors over the years. I work from home where I run my business and would be happy to attend to your fur babies. My home has a fenced in backyard and we also have a very walkable neighborhood. Our community is very safe and clean as well as my house. Our basement is the perfect indoor space for pets of any size so they can have their very own room in the house, but of course they are welcome anywhere. I create my own schedule and work from my house. I miss having a pet around when I’m not traveling so find this as a happy alternative. Whatever accommodations your pet needs I can provide it. We have space indoors and outdoors for any pet and I pride myself on being a very attentive caregiver.
About: If you ask my family who the designated pet sitter is, they'll all point to me! I'm the go-to person they trust to care for their furry family members whenever they're traveling or away for extended periods. From energetic new puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders, I've had the privilege of caring for pets through every stage of life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make it a priority to build trust with both you and your dog. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love until you're home again. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and am always happy to care for their dogs and cats whenever they travel or need an extra hand. I also spend time each week caring for my sister's dog, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of love are already built into my schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I have the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences or routines your pet is used to. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide the care and interaction that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and tidy and ensuring your pet has a safe environment at all times. To give you peace of mind, I'll send regular updates with photos and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.
“She went above and beyond! She ensured our family felt comfortable and confident in our decision to keep our kitten with her. Great communication throughout the time our kitten was there and a lot of photos to ease our mind that our kitten was in good hands! She was sweet, kind and wonderful with our kitten. We will absolutely use her when we plan our next trip!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life & have been specifically cat-sitting on the side for the last few years. I’ve dealt with all ages & breeds as well as a range of temperaments so I can handle even the sassiest of fur babies. From feeding to grooming to any special treatment, I’m available to provide almost any care your pet requires! 😼 I run my own clothing business, so I work completely from home. This allows me to be completely flexible with my schedule so I’m available to provide pet care when needed. The visit can be as simple as a few minutes to a couple hours if extra care is required! I understand how stressful it is having to leave your pet; I’ll always be willing to provide written updates, photos, & be up for any special treatment they need! Whether it’s just a feeding to a full on routine, the more communication between us — the better! 🫶

Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
