We came home to two happy and well-cared-for kitties, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I've had dogs and cats in my life since I was born. I started helping with their care since I was a young child, including sitting with the family dog who was had siezures. More recently in the last 10 years, giving my, (since passed), elderly dog his eyedrops and pills. Dogs and cats are hilarous creatures that deserve love, patience, kindess and respect of their boundaries. Paw parents guidleines and rules for their furry family members will always be followed. I'm flexible with the animal care as I do not have a 9-5 and with working holidays. I keep my animals on a routine schedule and understand that animals need routine to thrive. I am happy to help you keep that routine for your household, as long as there is availability in the schedule. Whatever the rules and guidelines that are given by the paw parents for the care of their animals will be followed. If an animal is highly stressed, they are given the space they need or taken out of the enviroment that is stressing them, ( ex: a reactive dog seeing another dog and is starting to reach their threshold will be redirected or taken out of the enviroment.)
“Mikala did an amazing job dropping in and taking care of my 2 dogs!! One of my dogs is fairly skittish and Mikala helped her feel comfortable enough that she came right out by the end of the weekend. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is the best cat and house sitter ever! The cats loved her from the first minute she walked through the door to meet them! She is trustworthy and responsible. I will hire Katie anytime I have to leave my fur babies!”
“Ashlyn was very responsive and was always on time and gave me multiple pictures so I always knew how things were at home when I was gone. It was a last minute booking and yet she still worked with me and made things happen and I couldn’t recommend a better person to watch a furry friend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy I chose Corrine to help with my fur buddies. She is super bubbly and outgoing. She communicated with me every time she stopped over to let them out and sent photos so I could see them in the yard. She asked great questions and covered everything they needed. I highly recommended her to help with your fur buddies. She took excellent care of mine. I will being using her again!”

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.
