“Jacqueline did great checking in with my cat! She was well cared for, and I really appreciated the update and photos. Reliable, kind, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a young teen (around 15 years experience) and have cared for a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, and small pets like rats, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I have also volunteered at rescues providing animal care, enrichment, and socialization. I have experience with senior pets, sick and medically complex animals, and hospice care for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable supporting pets with special needs, including disabled dogs and cats, and I approach every animal with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I have two happy cats of my own! My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care so animal friends feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work about 20–30 hours a week as a counselor, but I have a flexible schedule where I set my own hours. This allows me to build pet care into my daily and weekly routine with ease. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of pets and their owners. I prioritize consistency and reliability so pets get care when they need it most. In a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I prioritize care, play, and one-on-one attention, and I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and favorite activities. I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal schedule and incorporating the things they enjoy most.
“Stephen was a great sitter for my 2 cats! One needed medicine, and she took it from. him like a champ. The other is usually afraid of sitters, but he befriended Stephen right away! I know this because Stephen sent me photos and/or videos for every visit. He was very responsive and friendly, with a great sense of humor. Thank you Stephen!”
About: My experience caring for dogs began when I helped a neighbor care for his dog while he worked nights. I helped with walks, made sure he had food and fresh water, spent time with him, and gave him plenty of attention and affection. That experience showed me how much I enjoyed caring for dogs. I later became a dog owner myself and cared for my pit bull/boxer mix, Maxx from the time he was about five months old until he was 14 years old. Over those years, Max truly became part of my family, and I learned firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, understanding a dog’s personality, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I would bring that same care and attention to every dog entrusted to me. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m available for scheduled visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and walks when needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something that fits naturally into my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow the owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
About: Over my lifetime I have had seven dogs and two cats. I’m an empty nester now, looking to give your pet all the love and snuggles they deserve. I am available on weekends to help care for your pets, whether that’s a simple dog walk or changing a cat’s litter box. I am reliable and will love your animal as my own. You tell me what you want done and I will follow your lead. I am very trustworthy, reliable, and looking to fill my life with pet snuggles.
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was young. I have a cat and my parents own multiple cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all ages of both cats and dogs. I am a nursing student, however, on weekends and within my free time, I like to work and enjoy helping people, friends, and their furry friends! When I visit my parents, I love to throw the toys for my dog and at my own home, I love cuddling with my cat. I like to keep the owners informed from the beginning. I like to think of how I would feel if I put my animal in a strangers care.
About: Hi! I'm Casey, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including eight dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, and goats. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've gained years of hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for rescued animals, administering medications, and following specific feeding and care routines. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting some extra attention, I'm happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work full-time remotely, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate different schedules and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable caring for multiple pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits around your pet’s routine and give them the time and attention they need. I follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I take time to build trust so your pet feels comfortable with me, and I’m careful about secure doors, gates, and leashes. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with two dogs and a cat, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Now that I’ve moved out on my own, I really miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to spend time with yours! I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I want to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and help give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work a hybrid schedule. I’m in office Tuesday - Thursday and home Friday - Monday. I’m in office for 8 hours, but able to come home for an hour in the middle of the day. I live in a pet friendly apartment that has its own fenced in dog park as well as off leash run area. It also has plenty of walking trails for nice long walks.

“Victoria was amazing with my 5 month old puppy, Luka. She walked him even when it was very hot outside but still made sure he got his exercise and outdoor time! She made sure to feed him and give him water, taking care of my pups wellbeing:) I will definitely be rebooking for future walks!!”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“Amanda is a pleasure to work with and took great care of our cats again over a week’s vacation (drop-in visits). Communication is great, she cleaned up some messes and even watered our plants. All greatly appreciated and we knew all was in good hands”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Sophia is a very dependable, professional, pet sitter- she ensures each of my pets are given attention and love during visits. She has so much knowledge and experience with all types of animals- I felt at ease leaving my fur babies in her capable hands.”
About: Taking care of cats and dogs has been a huge part of my life and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve taken care of cats for the past 20 years. We have had up to five cats in our household, therefore I am well experienced with multiple animals at one time. I have about 15 years of dog experience. My pets are in their senior years, so I do have senior care experience. I now live with my very own girl cat and have raised her since being a kitten, so I am familiar with young kitten care as well. I work as a hybrid employee with varying work from home days week by week. Therefore my availability does change frequently. That’s not to say I’m an inconsistent caretaker. Just won’t be available in the middle of the day certain days of the week. Safety is a priority for myself as well as your pet/pets. I can ensure you I am aware of how important it is to stay alert and attentive to your pets. I also understand that making sure your home is safe is a priority. I will treat your home and pets with respect seeing that I would want the same for myself.

“Ahmirah did great with our two cats. She was very reliable and sent us a bunch of photos throughout the stay! We would love to rebook her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Strafford
Kanassanan was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well taken care of while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her care and dedication. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
My cats were very happy to have Jennifer caring for them while I was away! They both have special routines (medications, special diets) and Jen was able to get into a good routine with them. They were happy and relaxed when I got home! Thank you so much Jennifer!
Soraya as always took great care of Kiara. She made sure Kiara got all her meds, tracked her food input to actively monitor her weight and provided updates and pictures so I knew how my cat was. Very polite and attentive. Really love working with Soraya to take care of Kiara
This was my first time using rover and I could not have had a better experience with Alexandra. She went above and beyond taking care of my cats Jules and Fiji. Any nerves I had about leaving my cats with special feeding instructions and medical needs were put to rest by Alexandra. She is a true life saver and you can tell how much she enjoys getting to know your pets and makes every effort to address their needs! Alexandra will be my first choice should I need help checking in on the kitties in the future!
Daphne was great!! My cat is usually a bit shy but he opened up to her so quickly, and it was very obvious that he felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. Daphne was also super communicative and thorough, and I will definitely be requesting her as a sitter the next time I need one.
Stephen was a great sitter for my 2 cats! One needed medicine, and she took it from. him like a champ. The other is usually afraid of sitters, but he befriended Stephen right away! I know this because Stephen sent me photos and/or videos for every visit. He was very responsive and friendly, with a great sense of humor. Thank you Stephen!
I had such a great experience booking with Talia! She took amazing care of Luna and Mya while I was away and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, it was obvious they were well cared for. I'm so grateful for everything she did and would definitely book with her again. I highly recommend her!
Aaren is so very attentive, reliable, and sweet towards pets! I was so relieved to have her looking and attending to my gerbils while away in Europe for a week and a half. She is great with communication and truly a wonderful caregiver, going above and beyond!
Lauren was perfect! I really appreciated her communication and commitment to checking in on my cat. She sent me pictures as well as an update on the visit. I am such a nervous wreck when it comes to leaving my cat, it felt so nice knowing someone was there and actually cared. Would hire again!
Julie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was gone, providing plenty of pictures for me and engagement for them. She was also willing to work with me to get through my building's byzantine security system, which I appreciated. She made my first extended trip away from my cats a stress free experience.
Katherine was AMAZING!! The photos she sent were so good I think I might hang them on my wall! She was responsive to messages, timely, friendly, and my pets clearly loved her! (And she drew a cool picture of my dog that my kids and I loved! My son attributed it to her and put it on his art wall.)
Marisa is the best pet sitter I have ever known. She’s accountable, sweet and a very good listener. We extended our trip and she was so accommodating. Her videos came over at the same times each morning and evening and made our trip so enjoyable because we saw how happy our cats were with Marisa.

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.

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 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.
