“Kenzie took great care of our cat Steve and gave him some extra love and play time so he wouldn’t get too bored. She was proactive in preventing a mess when he started playing with the toilet paper.”
“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
“We will definitely book with Jasmine again! She was super communicative, thorough, and flexible. We appreciated the pictures and detailed notes. Our shy cat warmed up quickly to her. Highly recommend!”
“Masha has been absolutely wonderful with dropping in to visit our cats! I absolutely loved how detailed her updates were and the pictures she took were stunning! In addition, I loved how she communicated when there was an adjustment to her schedule or if she had a question. She was both respectful of our boundaries as well as our cat's! She did such a great job meeting each of our cats on their individual level and giving each of them love when they needed it. Four cats can be a lot for some people, but Masha handled the drop-in visits with grace and kindness!”
“Amber was amazing and took really good care of my cats. One requires daily medication and she was able to administer the doses without any issues. Highly recommend Amber, specially for pets who need extra care!”
“Michelle is wonderful. She’s very aware of any and all changes with my cats and spends quality time with them to make them feel comfortable. She also goes above and beyond to help them feel settled with the stress of me being gone”
“Aric was great checking in our two cats while we went on vacation! He made sure they were doing well and refilled their food and water each time. He went as far as cleaning the litter box too which was a huge help to us! He’s a great choice for check in visits!”
“Lindsey was nothing short of amazing when checking in on my cat while I was travelling!! Even when I couldn't immediately communicate she was super responsive, sweet and kept me updated which was super important to me when being so far away, with adorable photos as a bonus!! Thank you again for treating Sunny like one of your own! ?”
“David always takes such good care of our cats! He’s like the cat whisperer, my shy standoffish cat is not shy with him, and my extra friendly boy is always ready to play. Thank you David!”
“I booked Faith for two 30 minute drop-ins while away from home and she would feed, pet, and do litterbox maintenance within an average 20-21 minutes. Thank you for caring for my pretty kitty Luna in my absence! (:”
“Sophie took great care of our three cats and was great from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout; they responded quickly to messages, asked questions about feeding and litter routines before the first visit, and sent updates with photos every day so we always knew how things were going. All three cats were relaxed and well cared for when we got home, and the house was left exactly as we'd left it. We'd book again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone with cats.”
About: Growing up I was always surrounded by animals; dogs, cats, farm animals, birds, and fish. In my adult life, I raised my Jack Russell Terrier, Edy, from 2 months til 17 years old; she was quite literally my best friend. During that time, I also petsitted for my family and friends; from puppies/kittens of to elder dogs/cats across all breeds. I have also taken care of pets who need special care in the form of regular medication in the form of oral or injection. I’m currently raising my second fur-baby, a mini dachshund named Porcini. He is currently 1 year and 4 months old. I love animals of all kinds and sizes and I would be thrilled and honored to care for yours. I am a project manager who works fully from home. I currently live with roommates who have 1 dog and 3 cats and I have a dog of my own. I’m naturally an early riser so I start my day around 6 am with walks and feeding. My work day is pretty flexible and I am the person at work who schedules most of the meetings. I typically only have 1-3 meetings a day which makes it easy for me to step away to do pet care. With my current living situation, I will not be able to watch a pet in my home. I am a very tidy person who follows instructions really well. I wrote instructions for a living for 11 years 😂 I follow the golden rule and am deeply respectful. So I am happy to follow your instructions to the T and I will make sure it was like I was never in your home (except that the pets will be taken care of.)
“Kyra took great care of my 2 cats! She did exactly what was asked and sent some great photos. She is trustworthy and reliable. I will rebook her next time I need help with the fur babies!”
“10/10 - Bri was great to work with and appreciated her help while I was out of town. Got regular pictures, cats were happy and healthy, and the house was in great shape when I got back!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Staley
Ann is a treasure! Academic powerhouse meets cat-lady extraordinaire. She not only follows our extremely complicated cat rotation schedule (IYKYK) but totally understood it. The cats seem to love her and I notice they are always calm and confident when we come back. She always scoops the litter - sometimes multiple times a day - and gives us a report. That might seem silly to some, but one of our cats is chronically ill and just knowing those details is a great peace of mind. I love her end-of-visit report cards and photos, too. Thank you Ann SO MUCH!!
Misty offers outstanding care and takes great pride in her service. I always felt our pets were well cared for and received the attention they needed. Her communication is excellent, and her thoroughness is top-notch. We will certainly be booking with her again!
Mary was so sweet with my kitties! She spent extra time at the meet and greet to make sure they were comfortable with her. I even got to see pictures of her kitties :) Everything went super smooth and will be sure to check her schedule when I am out of town again!
Brayden did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. He did everything we asked him to including bringing in packages from outside. He sent multiple pictures of our fur baby daily so we could feel close to him while we were away and know he was being well taken care of!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
