“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life. My childhood dog was an amazing yellow lab who lived 13 long years. I’m currently the mother of two perfect cats I have been blessed with for 11 amazing years. There is no one you can trust more with your loved one than me! Saturdays, Sundays & Mondays early afternoon I am always available. (I work full time Tuesday-Friday). I am always outside and would love a companion to take care of! You can trust me! I am hyper observant. I will care for your baby as if they are my own. In my own home, I always provide supervision to my pets. There is no one more important to us than our fur babies!
“Anna was great. Very nice. Texted me daily to let me know everything was okay and kitties were well. I didn't want to board them but was hesitant to have someone I didn't know in my home. Anna has resolved that worry. I have trust in Anna and will always use her going forward.”
“Madison was able to take care of my cats last minute - she was a huge help! She eased my mind while I was out of town with all the pictures and detailed updates every morning. She was very responsive as well! I came home to filled food and water bowls and a clean cat area AND happy cats!”
“Jessica was very accommodating when our times changed. She took great care with our two dogs and the both loved her. We will definitely use her services again and I would highly recommend her.”
“Izzywas great with Alina! I could tell that she cared and that Alina loved hanging out with her. Would definitely recommend her to take care of anyone's fur babies.”
About: I have been helping my parents with their pets for the past 15 years. At the age of 13 I was given my own puppy, which helped me understand the responsibility that it takes to care for animals. I pride myself in being a trustworthy and caring person, who loves to spend time with animals. I currently am in school for nursing so my schedule varies. I try to find free time every week to get outside and move, which is why I am looking for the opportunity to spend time with animals while I do this. I have found that animals tend to respond better to calm and collected persons, so I pride myself on staying calm under pressure. Many of the families that I have pet sit for in the past complimented my patience and caring nature.
“Called Kathy last minute due to work conflict and she was able to accommodate my drop in request. Loved that she sent updates and a picture while visiting!! Looking forward to using her services again soon!”
“Nicole took wonderful care of our 3 cats, and under the craziest possible circumstances (one senior cat with diabetes needing insulin twice a day, and a juvenile male and female that aren't fixed yet and had to be kept separated). It was half cat sitting and half cat jailer, and through it all Nicole was super friendly and communicative and we came home to 3 happy cats. 10/10, we'll definitely book her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for 15+ years, and currently live with 4 fur babies! I have experience with pet-sitting (short and long term), walking dogs, changing doggy diapers, and managing the BIG personalities of small friends together. Friends and family have continuously trusted me to treat their pets as my own while they're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet yours! I have a bit of an irregular schedule for another job, but I will never agree to a time that I cannot commit to. Most of my days are open, however, so I have plenty of time and energy to pour into the pets! I will provide exceptional care to your pet and your home! I am detail-oriented and can take on any care plan with ease. I also value respecting not just the animal(s), but the home and environment that they live in. Trust all around is my top priority!
About: I’ve had/ been around animals my whole life, and i absolutely adore them. I pet sit for family & friends, giving love & care to meet our furry friends needs! I also have experience giving dogs insulin shots if this is something that is needed. I work as a nursing assistant 2 days a week as well as go to nursing school full time! My schedule would be good mainly for drop in visits and walking, and medication administration as needed :) i am open to pet sitting as well every now and then. I will mainly be offering drop in visits and dog walking. During this time I will provide your fur baby with play time, walks and lots of snuggles!
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. We recently just got a beagle Basset Puppy who loves to play and has gotten along great with all of the dogs we've watched so far! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. I’m happy to send you pictures, daily updates, whatever you need! While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
About: I am an avid dog lover and lover of all animals!! We treat our dogs like people, but more importantly they are our family. I will come to your home and watch your babies in the comfort of their own space. I work remote, so I can work from your home. I love all kinds of dogs as long as they don't bite strangers :) I take photos or videos everyday and send them to you, but sometimes I send them to your personal phone and not the app, so it affects my photo rating on here. About this sitter: I am an avid pet lover who works remotely and would love to take care of your furbaby/babies in the convenience of their own home! I can travel anywhere with enough notice. Just let me know! I am quite flexible and would enjoy giving my time and attention to your loved one! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a teenager, but really since I was born as I have always been in a house with dogs! I have been volunteering and helping out dogs for the past three decades!
About: I have had pets my entire life and have experience caring for young, elderly, and chronically ill dogs. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes, and additionally have experience caring for cats and various small animals (ex. birds, snakes, rodents) I'm currently employed part time and have plenty of time for caring for your fur baby! My weekends are usually open and I am available most afternoons and some evenings and mornings. You can count on me to provide top-notch care for your pets! I absolute adore all animals and will alway treat any pets as well as I would want mine treated.
About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

Minion warmed up to Brooke the first day. Just amazing! She's very knowledgeable. Very polite, exceptional on sending pics and keeping you updated day by day. I would highly recommend Brooke to anyone, I'm sending the cat on a vacation next time so Brooke can look in on me from day to day, lol! Thank you very much. Rover for having professional people and people you can trust in your home would highly recommend Rover also
Keana took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She made sure their litter was clean, bowls were full, fresh water was always available, and that they had plenty of play and socialization time. She was communicative and sent great photos and videos as updates. We are so grateful for her for all the hard work and would absolutely recommend! Thank you Keana!!

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.

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.
