“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“This was our first time using rover and Joanna was the best. Our boys loved her and we felt they were completely safe in her care. She gave frequent and thorough updates along with pictures of them. 10/10 from us!”
“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”
“Jacob is the best !! He was there for me and my dog during a time hard for me he kept me informed on everything going on and was just incredible. Recommend Jacob to anyone”
“Taylor was seriously the best cat sitter ever. We have three cats, including one super shy one and another who needs meds, so I was a little nervous going in. But Taylor handled it all like a pro. Our usual scaredy cat loved her and didn’t hide once. Meanwhile, the one who needs meds turned into the shy, grumpy one and hid under the couch the whole time. Taylor literally laid on the hard floor just to spend time near her and still figured out a way to get her meds in without stressing her out. That alone deserves a medal. She was super kind, respectful, and clearly cared about making our cats feel safe and comfortable. She went above and beyond every single day. I’m so glad we went with her and we’ll 100% be booking her again if we ever need a sitter. Seriously cannot recommend her enough.”
“Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Meg took excellent care of Hannah while we traveled for the holidays. She was kind enough to watch Hannah relatively last minute, which was huge considering we needed someone for Christmas Eve and Christmas. I would absolutely recommend Meg if you're looking for someone prompt and caring!”
“Wonderful! Julia provided great service and peace of mind. I was put at ease with her immediately and did not worry about my cats during our week away. The daily check-ins were admired by my children (who missed their pets tremendously) and I was impressed by the care displayed during an unexpected weather event. I will book with Julia again!”
“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”

I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I’ve had a cat or dog as a pet for almost all of my life. I had two cats for their entire lifetime, and currently have 2 chihuahua mixes. One is a special needs Senior, and the other is 5 years old. I’m an educator, that is currently on summer break. I have plenty of time to walk your dogs or drop in to care for your pets. I do a lot of walking with my own two dogs, so I would love to give yours a great workout. I can also do drop ins to feed, give meds, or play with your pet.
About: I have owned dogs and cats for the past 14 years and every single one has been spoiled and shown unconditional love. If your fur baby has any medical conditions or is recovering from surgery, I’ll assist anyway I can to make sure they are comfortable. As my animals have aged, I’ve experienced my fare share of nonstop watching, carrying and cleaning so the task is not a negative. I will make sure you feel the least stress possible. Whether it’s long walks, runs, just playtime or cuddles - your fur baby will be taken care of with an extra eye. If there are any special requests regarding your dog/cat, don’t be afraid to ask! I am here to assist you in whatever way I can. Thank you! I have a flexible daily and weekly routine, which allows me to visit pets during mornings, afternoons or evenings. I can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles around my schedule and I prioritize being consistent and attentive so pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and loved whether I’m visiting their home or caring for them at mine. I provide attention, playtime, walks, feeding and cuddles! I follow any special instructions the owner provides. I always keep a close eye on their needs and make sure they’re happy and stress-free while in my care.
About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, sprinklers, and lots of fun

Alex was an amazing sitter and was able to provide services last minute. My girls were very comfortable and appreciated meeting beforehand. Instructions were followed well and Alex reached out when further clarification was needed, which I very much appreciated.
Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.
There are not enough great things I can say about Zarayah! She made being away from my fur baby a lot less stressful. She went the extra mile sending pictures and videos, keeping me updated with how kitty was doing while I was gone. As a first time Rover user I really lucked out finding Zarayah when I needed a last-minute booking. She is very sweet and considerate, and I cannot recommend her enough!

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.
