“Hanna did an excellent job stopping by my house each day to care for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She fed them, cleaned and filled their water bowls, cleaned the litter boxes, disposed of the litter in the garbage can outside, and paid special attention to them each day ❤️. It was awesome that she sent me photos and videos of her petting and playing with them! And it let me know that they were in good hands while I was away. I can’t express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Hanna!”
“Sally is super dependable and flexible. She has helped us on many occasions at the last minute. Somehow she captures photos of all of our 5 wandering cats!! We highly recommend her!”
“This was the second time Sydney watched my cat and she was very well taken care of! She sent great pictures while I was out of town and Zoey was happy when I got home. Thanks again, Sydney!”
“Heather is wonderful! She dropped in to take care of my two cats last weekend. She is caring, loving, attentive, and respectful with my cats and home. She ensured my cats had everything they needed. Heather communicated well with me with fun pics, videos and notes. I look forward to having Heather pet sit again soon!”
“Sarah made us feel at ease and like our cats were in good hands immediately. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures. She even made sure they got to go outside in their catio on every visit. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone and I’ll be hoping she’s available next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Shelby was wonderful. You can tell how much she loves doing this. I’m sure if our dogs could speak they would ask to see Shelby everyday. We would love have Shelby care for our pets again. Highly recommended.”
“Becky dog sits for us twice a week and does a great job! I love all the update pictures she sends and Pippin always looks like he’s having a good time. Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Sydney did a super job with my two babies! They warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to immediately connect with my cats. She was prompt and stayed for the entire drop-in visit. Those are things that are important to me and that I truly appreciate. I will use her again and I definitely recommend her!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages! I’m also comfortable administering medications and handling any accidents or messes that may happen. As a pet caregiver, my top priorities are making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining open and reliable communication with their owners. I look forward to giving your pets the same care and attention I’d give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly schedule! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable care. I’m available before and after work on Mondays and Thursdays (8:30 AM–5:00 PM), and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I finish work at 12:30 PM, leaving the rest of the day available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. I also only work one Friday each month, making most Fridays completely open. I’m committed to being dependable and ensuring your pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve! When caring for your pet in your home, I will always follow your routine and respect your wishes. I’ll provide the care, attention, exercise, and any medications your pet needs while keeping your home clean, secure, and treated with the utmost respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!
About: I have taken care of my pets as well as my family’s pets and they are a huge part of my life, even now! I have had many types of pets as well, cats, dogs, spiders, birds, hamsters, rats, gerbils and more! I have always grown up around animals and know what signs to look for in the way of ensuring a pets safety! I currently work a full-time job from 9AM to 4:30PM and then I go home, walk my dog, feed him, and make the time to play with him and keep him in good health! I have a fenced in small back-yard with space for them to go to the bathroom, and feed them in our kitchen! My mother-in-law is a vet tech, so I know what signs to watch for, when it comes to health, as well! I have plenty of space to keep them entertained in the house as well, such as a large living room, which can be used to keep a crate if needed, and I am comfortable with crafting your pets as well!
“Beth was amazing and took such good care of our cat!! She was very understanding with a communication error in the beginning, and spent a lot of time playing with our cat who can be shy at first but warmed right up to her! We will definitely be using her again- thanks Beth!”
About: With over four years of experience in house and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great care comes down to consistency, attention, and trust. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the right kind of attention they’re used to—so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your space, and I make it a point to communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. I approach every stay with the mindset that I’m not just watching over things—I’m making sure your home and pets are genuinely cared for. Right now, I'm working from home and occasionally have to do a few hours at a job site. If that happens I am aware of it and able to let you know via text, or a call. A typical day starts by following your pet’s usual routine—morning feedings, fresh water, and a quick check-in to see how they’re doing. For dogs, that usually means getting outside for a walk, some playtime, and a chance to burn off energy. For cats, it’s more about keeping things calm and familiar—maybe some play if they’re interested, or just quiet company. Throughout the day, I keep things consistent, give them attention on their terms, and make sure everything stays clean and comfortable. Evenings wind down with dinner, another walk for dogs, and some relaxed time so they can settle in for the night. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and feel connected while you’re away—it’s all about keeping things normal, easy, and stress-free for both you and your pet.
About: I graduated with my associate in Veterinary technology in 2022. I have taken care of and worked with all breeds of dogs and cats. I’ll give all of them the same love and care as I give my own. I am currently working full time at FedEx. Depending on your animals schedules and your requirements I will feed them and walk them bright and early make sure they got all the early morning energy out before I’d need to head out to work. Will clean up any mess if any was made in the process. After work I will go straight to check on the animal and do the same as in the morning feed, walk and play. If your pet is taking medication I will make sure to give it the right amount and at the right time. If you don’t have a fenced in yard I will also make sure I leash them can never be too safe.
About: Hi! I have 5 dogs and 4 parakeets myself, I love to craft or just binge watch movies. I’m currently in college, I’ve always loved animals and I lost my job in March, I’m just trying to find better things for myself. Reach out anytime ☺️ I have open availability so pretty much let me know what you’re looking for, if you want me to just stay at yours or even if you just want me to pop in and out from time to time! I have a fenced yard so I’m always watching my dogs, I sit outside with them and just watch them play. I also take them on walks when my parents are able to help since we have alot

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Steelton
Tina was so wonderful and took such good care of my babies. Even my cat that is usually terrified of people was out and about with her and seemed very happy and relaxed when I got home. She sent me pictures and updates everyday and was extremely good with communication. Thank you Tina!
While our cats were reluctant to show their faces while Cheryl made her twice-daily visits, the pictures and updates she sent during our time away put our minds at ease and let us know our fur-babies were in good hands. Will certainly be calling on her again next time we are away for an extended period. :)
Amanda has been so reliable and responsive! She always takes pictures of my pets and provides me with updates when needed. She schedules a meet and greet prior to doing drop-in visits, which is great, because it allows her to get to know the animals and where everything is before she does her visit. I appreciate how available and communicative she is!

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.
