“Christopher was fantastic! He was super responsive throughout our trip, sent great photos and updates, and we came home to a house in great shape and a happy cat — or at least as happy as a cat can be when his people have had the nerve to leave him for a week. We felt completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. We’ll absolutely book with Christopher again, if he’ll have us!”
“Dorian is a great sitter with excellent communication. We had in-house care and really appreciated her the time and effort with our shy cat. Thank you for the peace of mind care.”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
“Thank you Taylor! She was communicative and thorough during her visit which put me at ease that my pets were well cared for. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Allison watched our cats over the weekend, and did an excellent job taking care of them while we were away. One of our cats has to take medicine with their wet food, and she made sure she ate it, even when my cat was reluctant to come out at first. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. My family has always had dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’ve also owned cats my whole life and truly understand how to take care of them with lots of love and patience. I can administer medicine, take them on walks, feed, bathe, you name it! Your pets will be treated like family when they’re with me! I am pretty flexible. Right now I am currently working full time but I think there will be a shift in my schedule soon! :) When I am in your residence, I will treat it with the utmost care and do exactly as you instructed for the care of your fur baby. Anything you need such as your litter box needing scooped, medicine, etc. I got your back!
“Jessica was wonderful with my 2 cats! She is super friendly and my cats walked right up to her to say hi. She sends detailed updates with lots of pictures. She is super communicative which is good for this anxious cat mom! I plan to use her again when traveling in the future.”
“Grace did a great job with our cats! Thank you for loving on them and taking care of them while we were out of town. It is such a relief to know they are in good hands while we are away!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. From dogs and cats, to reptiles, fish and rodents! I’m very good at training. I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, starting with an elderly ladies puppy cocker spaniel. I’m also very patient, and I love activities like walking, and playing. I currently have mornings from 6am-4pm available. I have night classes from 5pm-11pm Monday-Thursday. My weekends are available with open availability being Friday-Sunday I have a fenced in yard, with one dog, one cat, and one Betta! We have a feeding schedule, we take walks, and so mentally stimulating activities such as training and puzzles
“Heather is absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter. She took very good care of our cat Dobby for about a week. She is very responsible, caring, and detail oriented. I would highly recommend working with her!”
“I have a special-needs kitty. Christine takes the best care of her. I have absolutely no worries when I am gone that my cat is in wonderful hands. She’s not only able to take care of her but she also loves on her so much. Christine is my go to Sitter.!!!”
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
“Dianna is dependable and very kind; I would and have recommended her to a few of my work colleagues. My cats are skittish and hide from strangers, but with Dianna they come and greet her every time.”
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have looked after and cared for pets since childhood, and would love to add your pet to my roster! I am a massage therapist working 4 days a week. I am available all day on Wednesdays, and Friday afternoons to take your dog for a walk, feed your cat, or hang out with your furry friend! I am flexible to work with you and your pet to best suit their needs. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, hang out with them at your house, or take them to my fenced in yard where they can run either by themselves or with my dog.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’d love the opportunity to give your furry friend the same care and attention I give my own pets! I have also had plenty if experience dog sitting for my family and friends and it’s something I enjoy! I’m currently at the University of Indianapolis pursuing my Doctor of Physical Therapy. My schedule keeps me busy with classes and staying active, so pet sitting is a great way for me to take a break, get some fresh air, and spend time with animals. I love being active and helping others, and caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to their routines, make sure they have a clean and safe environment, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and make sure your pet’s needs and safety always come first.
About: Having had dogs and cats all my life, I have had such a fond experience with pets. I currently care for my elderly and blind family dog and he is very much my baby. I love being able to spread the love and help care for others’ fur babies as well :) I work full time, so pet care would take place mostly on weekends or after my work day. My work schedule is typically 7-3 or 4. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am a homeowner with one dog, so I have plenty of space for your furry friend! I am mindful of clients’ homes and requests and am happy to follow directions for special care (such as administering medication or going on walks/throwing the ball, etc.)

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 .

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 .

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.
