“Briaunna was wonderful! I’ve always been afraid to leave on vacation because I don’t want my cat to be lonely or sad. I was able to leave for 2 1/2 days without any worries. She took such a good care of my cat. She kept me updated. I want her to always be my cats babysitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!
“Brooklyn is as so kind and attentive to my two boys. One of them is really shy and loves to hide, but she took the extra effort to find him and all his various hiding spots to make sure he was okay. The report cards were the highlight of my trip and I can tell she takes great care of all the animals in her care. I will definitely book her again!!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who loves animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day and can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s needs. I’ll confirm availability and care instructions with you before booking. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kelsey while we were out of town for a week! Communication was truly excellent — we always felt informed and reassured while we were away. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving frequent photos and updates, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for. Beyond being reliable and professional, she was genuinely kind and thoughtful. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”

About: I've had pets my entire life and have walked dogs, house sat with cats, and have done drop in visits on and off for years now.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
Katelyn was very attentive to our two cats, and was willing to deal with special diets for both of them, as well as medication for our older cat. She was very respectful of our home and easy to communicate with, responsive, and sent us lots of great and helpful pictures. We would definitely like to have her back the next time we need someone to watch the cats!
Bre rooked really good care of our kitties. Even though it was a last minute request, she accommodated setting up a last minute meet n greet and looking after my kitties. She provided several updates, pictures and loved on them while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to any pet owners looking for a pet sitter.
Our cat loved Tobi immediately and he usually runs away from new people. Tobi spent quality time with our cat Sansa and took the time to feed, brush and take care of all his needs. We have never had strangers take care of our beloved pets before and we were weary at first but after the great care Tobi provided we are sold on Rover and would definitely recommend Rover and Tobi for your pets.
Alyssa saved the day! We had accidentally left a gate closed in the house and our cats couldn't access the litterbox upstairs. She lives nearby us and was able to be to our house so quickly and also gave our kitties some loving ❤️ very trustworthy and will absolutely use her again!
My first rover experience was fantastic, so when I was unable to rebook that person, I thought no way am I going to have another fantastic experience. I was Wrong. Parkre and Levi were fabulous. Great at keeping in touch, asking questions etc. I would trust them with my cats anytime. It was such a great experience and I appreciate the care they provided.

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. 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 , 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 .

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.
