About: I was born into a family of pets and have been taking care of my dog and cat for years now. Walking, bathing, playing and loving. I am attending collage in the morning on Mondays, Thudays and Fridays but after 2pm I am usually free. I am usually always free on the weekends. While pet sitting I will walk, play and absolutely adore the furry baby that I have the honor of seeing. Any rules in place I will do absolute best to follow.
“Our request was very last minute and Michaela was nothing but flexible and attentive to our cats needs. The meet and greet was really reassuring and her communication was great, we felt at ease knowing there was someone there for their feeding and litter care. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Keelyn watched our cat Milo while we were out of town and did a great job - he is shy with strangers and usually hides, but Keelyn was able to locate him and snap a few photos.”

“Megan always takes fantastic care of our kitties - excellent communication, adorable update photos, and followed our care plan to a “T” :) can’t wait to have her back again!”

“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with the cats and they are very happy! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter! She is kind and genuinely cares about animals and that shines through and was the reason I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care!”


“Ely was absolutely fantastic and very consistent. She checked in regularly and Fidget took to her almost immediately. I received daily updates with wonderful pictures of Fidget while I was away, and I knew he was being very well taken care of. Ely did in-home visits and took care to lock my doors and made sure the house was okay as well while I was gone. I will absolutely be requesting her services again the next time I take a long-term vacation.”

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

About: I have a love and passion for cats! I have 3 cats of my own and experienced in medication administration! I have been taking care of friends and families cats for years! Including but not limited to giving medication such as: inhaler, pills, syringes, etc. I am currently working part time so my availability is plenty of time to enrich your cats! I work 2-6 M-F so any time around that works for me! I care for my cats in a multitude of ways. Having 3 cats (one being a senior and one having chronic constipation managed with medication) requires lots of cleaning, enrichment/playtime, medications, food, nutrients, etc!
About: I am a dedicated pet lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment while their owners are away. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is to treat every pet like family and ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I care for my own dog, Ella, and cat, Willow. I have a flexible schedule and can provide feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of attention. I am committed to keeping pet owners updated and ensuring their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they are away. I am usually available M-Thursday after 5pm Early mornings if necessary Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care instructions. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I understand that every pet is unique and will treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own pets, Ella and Willow.
About: With 30 years in pet care and 50 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.
“Alexa took amazing care of our Jabba boy while we were gone for 9 days! She sent updates and pictures with every visit. She kept everything clean and kept our somewhat high maintenance kitty safe. Definitely recommend Alexa and we will be using her again!”

“Dawn was so wonderful and accommodating!! I had never boarded my cat before and was pretty nervous about leaving her in someone else's home. Dawn made us feel right at home, she suggested that I stay for ~30 minutes during "drop-off" to make sure that Missy felt comfortable, and did an amazing job of making sure that Missy wouldn't have the opportunity to bolt for the door or get stuck somewhere - Missy is a curious and elderly old lady and I was worried she would hide or get trapped, but Dawn made sure that wouldn't happen. She sent lots of pictures assuring me that Missy was having a great time, relaxing and playing with her toys and getting so much attention and lots of snuggles. Dawn made it super easy to schedule both pickup and dropoff and had all of Missy's stuff packed up and ready to go. If we ever need Missy to go on vacation again, Dawn will be my first call!”

About: I have over 30 years experience caring for all types of animals. Growing up we had many animals from birds to iguanas and everything in between. I also worked at a pet store in my younger years. I have also had dogs all my life and am the go to person for neighbors, family and friends for pet sitting. My specialty is caring for puppies. I am trust worthy and reliable. I currently work at the hospital, 3 days a week. I would like to fill my other days and time with the things I enjoy and love. I can care for animals in their home with safety measurements the owners have created. Following the owners safety measures and providing me with a trust worthy environment makes for excellent care.
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I grew up with both cats and dogs, have cared for other people’s pets over the years, and currently have an 11-year-old dachshund of my own. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, and understanding. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand the stress that comes with leaving your pet behind while you’re away. You’re not only looking for someone who will show up, you’re trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, loved, and being cared for by someone you can rely on. One of the biggest benefits of caring for your pet in your home is that they get to stay where they feel safest. Their favorite bed is still there, their familiar smells are still there, and their normal routine doesn’t have to disappear just because you’re away. And when it comes to that routine, there’s no such thing as too much information! I genuinely want every detail you’re willing to give me, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, commands, quirks, hiding spots, anxieties, comfort items, where they like to be scratched, and even the little things that might seem silly to anyone else. My goal is simple: the only part of your pet’s routine that should change is that you’re away. Everything else stays as familiar and consistent as possible. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or an anxious pup who needs extra reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and give them the patience, affection, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated so you don’t have to spend your trip wondering how things are going. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet, learn their routine, and help make being apart a little easier for both of you. 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a nanny Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with open availability on weekends. Outside of my work hours, my schedule allows me to be flexible and intentional with my time, so when I accept a booking, your pet can be a top priority. I’m happy to plan my mornings, evenings, and weekends around your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Whether that means morning and evening walks, meals at specific times, extra playtime, cuddles, or simply being there to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they’re accustomed to. I’m also mindful of how long your pet is comfortable being alone and want to know what their normal day looks like before accepting a booking. My goal is never to overbook myself, it’s to make sure I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the dependable, attentive care they deserve. 🐾 For everyone’s safety and comfort, I provide care exclusively in your home, as my own dog is reactive to other dogs. I’ve also found that many pets are happiest staying in the environment they already know and feel safe in, surrounded by their own bed, toys, smells, and familiar routine. Keeping them at home can make your time away feel much less disruptive and help create an easier, less stressful transition. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect any boundaries or behavioral needs you share with me, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and anything else important to their care are handled exactly as requested. Please tell me every quirk, trigger, habit, or precaution, there’s no such thing as too much information! I have a manual for my own dog for sitters! And I know you’re trusting me with more than your pet, you’re trusting me with your home. I take that responsibility just as seriously. I’ll treat your space with care and respect, keep things tidy throughout my stay, and make every effort to leave your home even better than I found it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet and a clean, cared for home, so the only thing you need to worry about after your trip is getting all the “I missed you” cuddles. 🐾❤️
“David and his family were wonderful hosts for our cat, Momo. From start to finish, David was responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. Momo is normally a very social cat but can be skittish in new environments, and this was her first time being around young kids, but David thoughtfully created safe, comfortable spaces for her without making her feel stressed. We really appreciated the care and attention he put into making her feel at ease.”

“Cindy has done an amazing job caring for my cat. He doesn’t like everyone, but I can tell from the cute pictures she takes every visit that he really enjoys her visits. She makes sure to play with him with his favorite toys and keep the litter clean and feed him on time. Thanks Cindy!”

About: I have two cats of my own who I truly love more than anything, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs, and caring for other people’s cats. I have a warm, calm, and patient demeanor, and I always take the time to let animals get comfortable with me at their own pace. I know that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I believe building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal. I’m also comfortable administering medications and have experience giving inhalers to cats and dogs. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am a school social worker at a special education school and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available most weekday evenings and currently have daytime availability on Fridays. I also have some weekend flexibility and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s specific needs! I always prefer to meet with clients and their pets before booking to ensure I can provide the best possible care for their individual needs. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences, as well as become familiar with your home and any important safety considerations. Building trust and making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable is incredibly important to me!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Swampscott
This has been our first trip leaving the cats in a very long while and we left leaving a little nervous but as Michaela came in and gave us updates, day by day, fotos, and helped around their necessities we were beyond grateful. She did an amazing job with our boy cat that is a bit of a hyper toddler, like a pro and even our shy cat came around and started to meet her by the door. All very good signs they also loved her visits.

Victoria took great care of our cat for a week while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates and you could tell he enjoyed her visits! He’s a shy cat so we were so happy to see he warmed up to her right away. Knowing Victoria was taking great care of our cat made our vacation even better!

We absolutely adore Claudia and she has been our go-to pet sitter for the past two years now, especially when we go away for more than a week! All of our kitties love her, even our shy guy. She is super responsive, sends amazing updates and also takes great care of our home. Highly recommend!

Ida was a great sitter!! She checked in on every visit, kept me updated throughout my time away, was on time, punctual and took great care of my cat, Gia. She was also able to administer medications and kept me in the loop with my cats health issues. I would recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter and will definitely book with her again!

Leslie was wonderful caring for our two senior cats while we were away. Each cat has a distinct personality - one is shy and timid while the other is gregarious and outgoing. The daily briefings and multiple photos Leslie provided for each visit ( 2 daily) assured us they were being visited / fed as scheduled,scooped and played with. She also doesn't mind inhome security cameras which is important to us for checking on our seniors. It was a great feeling to travel without worry, we most definitely will be calling Leslie for future needs.

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.
