“Raquel was very personable and followed instructions well. My skittish Tobi cat even came near her in one of the visits when she typically doesn’t show up for strangers. Highly recommend Raquel!”
“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”
“Cassidy was fantastic with my Doberman! Truly grateful for her timeliness and on-point communication! Thankful for her help with my baby boy while I was away! Will be rebooking for sure!”
“I cannot recommend Shyann enough! I had to make a last-minute booking, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Even with the short notice, they insisted on doing a meet-and-greet to make sure my dog was comfortable and that all instructions were clear—a level of professionalism and care I truly didn't expect given the tight timeline. They are reliable, incredibly sweet with my pup, and provided fantastic updates. It is such a relief to find someone so dependable and accommodating. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Matt is great. I spent several days out of country and Matt was taking cars of my dogs. He did fantastic job with dogs and with keeping me posted about dogs and things around the house. I recommend Matt and will use his service again in the future.”
“Diana was wonderful with my 2 cats! One of my cats tends to be very loud with meows and hissing, but she had no problem with it and was still able to care for them well!”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
“Ashley and John took great care of our cats and chickens during our 2 week getaway. They provided daily updates and made sure our home was secure. Highly recommended and we will be using their services in the future.”
“Alyssa did a great job dropping in on our 4 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We felt comfortable that they were being well tended to. We appreciated the daily updates and photos!”
“Once again, such wonderfully loving care for my cat :) I have never had such piece of mind! Brandy is thorough, consistent, and very patient. I feel more than comfortable leaving my animals in her care.”
“Siyani provided prompt, great care for our two cats, including one who is a bit of an escape artist. We had no worries while we were away, and the kitties seemed pretty content and everything else in the house was in order. I would definitely recommend her services”
“Abby was incredible! I could go on and on for days. I have never used this service and was so nervous to have a stranger in my home with my prized possession our bean but with her I felt no apprehension at all. She came a few days before to meet him and allow us to ask questions. Her communication throughout the days was great. She was extremely kind and accommodating and my introvert cat acceptable loved her. Will definitely book her over and over for any needs we may have in the future. Could not rate her anymore highly.”
“Audrey did an amazing job watching over my cat, Binx. It is always hard to leave her behind, but it was truly such a relief to know my baby was being taken care of. I would use Audrey again for sure!”
“Tess was amazing with all 4 of my cats, even my shy one that I wasn't expecting to even come out! Super responsive, respectful, and easy to work with - I will definitely be rebooking with her again! 😊”
“I am so thankful for Beth! She was quick to respond and took great care of my dogs in a last minute booking. She sent pictures and gave a great update for how the visit went. I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a drop in visit!”
About: Hi! I’m Cassie! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always loved caring for pets of all kinds, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even a guinea pig, and I’ve had the opportunity to help care for pets with a variety of needs and temperaments. My family has had six cats throughout my life, and I currently help care for our two cats. I also grew up with my dog, Maddie, a German Shepherd/Heeler mix, who is now enjoying her senior years. Caring for her has given me lots of experience understanding the needs of an older dog while still keeping up with her occasional puppy energy! More recently, in August 2025, I adopted my own perfect kitten, Willa, from a rescue in Philadelphia. During my last year of college, I also fostered numerous other cats and kittens, which gave me even more hands-on experience with everything from helping shy or nervous cats feel comfortable to keeping playful kittens happy and entertained. I’ve also cared for pets in my neighborhood through walking, feeding, pet sitting, and simply keeping them company, and I’ve always loved getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I’m comfortable administering pills and accommodating pets with special needs, medical conditions, or disabilities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful kitten, a laid-back adult, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry friend! :) I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, so my weekday availability is primarily outside of working hours. I’m available for walks and check-ins after 5 PM on weekdays, and if you’re located close to me, I may also be able to accommodate early-morning walks or check-ins before work. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule and see what works best! I am prepared to follow any directions that are given to me whether that is for an in-house visit or a walk with your furry friend!

Cassidy was great to work with and my cat was well taken care of. Getting the detailed notes and photos after each visit was super helpful and I felt at ease receiving updates. I came home to the litter trash taken out and the pet dishes cleaned and dried. Highly recommend Cassidy for her excellent services

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.
