“Joseiris was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, communicated clearly and went above and beyond for my two cats. She was willing to learn how to use a cat inhaler and absolutely nailed it. She sent photos and status updates during each visit. My cats are usually pretty shy, but they instantly took a liking to her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly sitter.”
“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets every day in my own home. I currently care for three dogs—a Pomeranian, a Husky/Lab mix, and a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix—so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, administering basic care, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention.

“Victoria was fantastic. Very responsive made herself available came as requested asked questions when needed and took care of my little kitty cats while I was gone for a few days thank you Victoria!”
“This is our second time having Andrea visit our cat. Andrea is so great - easy to communicate with and so helpful. We will definitely be seeing if Andrea is available again next time we need help with the cat!”
“Eryn was a great sitter for our kitties! She stayed overnight and made our kitties feel very comfortable. She was punctual and communicative. We will for sure be using her again! Thanks Eryn :)”
“Kayla was so good with my cats! I could tell they really liked her... She had to feed them 3 times a day and there is a little more to it than just putting down 2 plates of food. Kayla sent me pictures of them at every feeding...this made me feel so good! I will definitely use Kayla again!”
“I cannot recommend Caroline enough. It can be difficult for me to leave my girls with a new sitter because one of them is very shy and refuses to eat. Caroline went above and beyond, crawling under the bed to hand feed Clementine. I would trust her with any future booking and can’t thank her enough for her dedication and time.”
“Alexandra was reliable and took great care in making sure the cats were taken care of as we discussed. She cleaned everything up nicely very communicative and again in a heartbeat! Thank you!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful, she was friendly and caring and we could tell our cat enjoyed her company! She was extremely tidy and clean and she was great at communicating with us. She gave us lots of updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. We hope she can take care of our cat in the future, I would highly recommend her:)”
“Audrey was a great sitter for my two cats! She is very responsive and took amazing care of my two babies! I’m always very nervous to leave them alone, but Audrey made sure I had nothing to worry about! Highly recommend!”
“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”
About: I have volunteered at a couple of local animal shelters over the duration of 2 years for multiple hours a day! While I only have a certain amount of professional experience, I also own 2 domestic long haired cats who I’ve raised for the last 4 years. I specialize in cat care on a private setting and dog care on a professional setting. I have many available days within my weekly calendar to fit pet sitting and pet walking into my schedule. Weekends are completely open with weekdays having limited availability. Weekdays: Anything after 3:30 PM! Weekends: Complete open availability! I currently own two beautiful domestic long haired cats. Their daily routine consists of a strong high moisture diets, supplements that cater to their needs, rotation of toys when under supervision, 100% cat safe toys when unsupervised, cat scratchers, fur and dental care, routine vet visits, litter box scoops multiple times a day, and more.
About: With a year of experience in a pet daycare and boarding facility, I've mastered the art of grouping dogs for optimal companionship, ensuring they're exercised, fed, bathed, and engaged with other dogs. I've always taken immense pleasure in taking care of variety of breeds in the past. I also handle drop-in visits for family pets. Engaging with pets isn't just my job but my passion, so you can rest assured that your furbaby will be in loving hands. I'm currently unemployed and can provide daily/weekly care with my little one tagging along. As a stay home mom there are two faces for your fur baby to enjoy during the care. We can come by to let them out to go pee/poop in your yard. Give them water and food upon pet owners request. Provide care to your uptmost liking when it's a drop-in visits.
About: I have had medium/large dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of a 35lb Australian Cattle dog as well as 2 pit bulls between 55-70lbs. I've also dog-sat a dog under 10lbs and walked dogs who were 140lbs. I've also worked in home with families who had cats ranging in size and demeanor. I work full time which is why I can only do sitting on weekends. I am looking to do more hobbies and this seems like something fun for me to add. I care for my dog Zelda who's partially blind so I have an awareness for disabled pups. That is also the reason I cannot board dogs in my home. I would likely spend a large portion of my day with the dog I'm taking care of, giving them some kind of walk during the day and making sure to lock up each time I leave the home. I would make sure they are fed on time and receive the same kind of loving care I give my dogs at home.
About: I’m caring patient and love to have fun from giving paw to fetch with all ages I have flexible scheduling and references as well hope to hear from you soon 🐾🙂 I love pet sitting and always have and I’m very flexible for scheduling if you have any questions please feel free to contact me hope to hear from you soon I can offer as a pet sitter love care compassion and kindness treating your pets as I do my own I hope to hear from you soon
About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.
About: I've taken care of my family's dogs since I was a child, but I've especially loved the joy of having my own pets over the last 5 years. I've trained and grown two healthy fur babies of my own, and have loved helping dozens more. Would love to help you care for your fur baby when & in the way you need it! I currently have a flexible full time job where I'm used to driving all over. Would love to have moments making your dog's day throughout my day! I am committed to making everyone have a good & safe experience, to the best of my ability - your pup, you as the pet parent, and myself!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Springfield
Joseiris is a wonderful sitter. She is caring, attentive, and thorough on her visits. She sent us many pictures of both of our cats each day, along with a great write up of the time she spent with them. She clearly has a natural connection with cats, and was even able to get our shy cat, Tini to come out and play with her and sit on her lap. We were gone for almost two weeks and our minds were totally at ease knowing that Joseiris was coming by each day.
Kayla was so good with my cats! I could tell they really liked her... She had to feed them 3 times a day and there is a little more to it than just putting down 2 plates of food. Kayla sent me pictures of them at every feeding...this made me feel so good! I will definitely use Kayla again!
Erin was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat, Tinky, and my elderly Chihuahua, Sasha, for five days while I was away in Puerto Rico. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with Sasha, making sure my senior pup was comfortable and well cared for. She also handled Tinky's persistent attempts to convince her to let him outside with so much patience and good humor! Eryn went above and beyond, and it was clear she genuinely cared about both of my pets. I came home to two happy, well-loved animals, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Eryn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable. Thank you so much, Eryn! We will hope to use her again and again .
I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.

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.
