“Kiara was wonderful. Easy to work with for scheduling. She kept me very updated on check ins. She also got such cute pictures of out fur babe. Would definitely book again!”
About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and taking care of family/friend's pets over the years.I am a reliable, caring, communicative, and punctual pet sitter that you can trust! I currently take care of my boyfriend's 14 yr old dog named Scarlett, we walk every evening and spend a lot of quality time together especially on my days off. I like to show pets love by giving them a good balance of affection, exercise, and fun.... and I hope I can help do that for yours! I ensure that my pets are fed, hydrated, and walked throughout the day. I love to play with them and their toys so that they feel happy and satisfied.
“Nancy is a superstar. When my job placed us at the Orange County Convention Center for a week (with 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. days), Nancy came to the rescue. I appreciate how she stayed in touch will me, giving me "pup-dates" on my pooch. She was always on time or early. The piece of mind I received by having her look after my dog is greatly appreciated. I will call upon Nancy the next time I need "Rover to the Rescue!"”
“Nina was fantastic! She sent lots of pictures to keep us in the loop and assure us our fur babies were doing well. She was thorough and detailed in texts and notes. She braved the many growls and evil eyes from our cats and was very patient and kind with all 4 of our pets. Isabelle and Bosco look forward to having Nina back again! Fiona and Grace will grow to love her too when they realize how much they need her for their food ;) Thanks Nina!”
“Another great experience with Angelo. I feel my girls are in good hands while we're away. We were delayed a day returning home and he was very helpful in adding one more day to their care since we wouldn't be home on time. Easy to work with and great with our kitties.”
“Kaia was a great pet sitter! She was quick to respond and sent so many photos and videos, along with great, detailed reports each visit. I would highly recommend Kaia and will be using her again in the future!”
“Very happy I've found Julia! She's great with my pups. I just have her let them out in my backyard for 1/2 an hour mid day so the kids can go potty. She is very communicative and I love getting my pictures when she visits.”
“Samantha was a hit with Mulder when they first met! I saw how he immediately accepted Samantha. It gave me peace of mind while we were away for an extended period of time. We have your number Samantha and we will call you again when needed. Thank you!”
“Jenn was wonderful with my cat, Oakley, who was sick at the time. While his care needs were simple (feeding, checking the automated litter box, and monitoring for any sickness), I truly appreciated the level of attention and compassion she showed. Many sitters would consider this an “easy” job, but Jenn still honored the full 30 minutes of each visit—keeping Oakley company, which I was able to see both in her updates and through my Ring camera. She also went above and beyond when Oakley got sick on the carpet. Instead of just grabbing whatever was available, she reached out to ask what cleaning products were best to use—showing that she cared about both my cat and my home. Another thoughtful touch was that she offered to do a preliminary meet-and-greet ahead of time to walk through the care plan. I chose to coordinate via text instead, but I really appreciated that she made the option available—it showed how much she values communication and trust. Jenn is personable, reliable, and truly cares. I felt completely at ease leaving Oakley in her care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who goes the extra mile.”
“Ashley was incredibly prompt with every visit. Her notes and photos from her visits were thorough and put my mind at ease while away. She also helped bring packages in from our porch which was an added bonus while we were away. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Erin was great with my high energy dog, Bodie. He enjoys her mid-day visits and the positive attention. She was flexible with a last minute booking when my other sitter had an emergency pop up and is awesome to work with.”
“Our kitties love Athena! They have become so comfortable with her, and it provides great peace of mind for us when we head out of town on vacation that they are well cared for. Thanks for all you do to keep Hashtag and Ethan comfortable while we are away, Athena!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and I currently have a dog of my own. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I know how important patience, routine, and a calm environment are to helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, caring, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel relaxed while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and that their usual routine is followed as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. For pets staying in my home, I have a fenced yard and only accept one client at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and take the time to understand every pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I provide a calm and loving environment and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Maria was AMAZING, took great care of our two beloved dogs. Bella and Brady were let out, fed, and played with, over the Christmas season which was a huge blessing. Maria was friendly, professional, and a caring dog sitter. 10/10 would recommend and rebook with her. Thank you so much Maria!”
About: While many sitters focus primarily on cats and dogs, I also have experience caring for exotic pets, including birds, reptiles, and ferrets. Over the past year, I’ve regularly helped care for my bestfriend’s ferrets, Boo and Zero, ensuring they receive proper supervision, enrichment, feeding, and attention. My experience with both traditional and exotic pets allows me to adapt to a variety of care requirements and environments! My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m generally available Monday through Friday, especially during daytime hours, but im happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone.. just let me know in advance ^_^ I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine! I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort level, and any special instructions provided by their owner :)

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.

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.
