“Andrea instantly bonded with my two cats. Her calm and nurturing demeanor allowed my cats to immediately connect with her. Andrea has so much experience with cats and other pets, as well as a lot of love to share with them. She was very responsive when we quickly needed to book a pet sitter, and made room in her schedule to accommodate our cats. Andrea wrote detailed and happy updates and took a series of great pictures of the cats for us to browse through while we were away. I definitely plan on having Andrea pet sit for us again!”
“Peyton was amazing! We were looking for some last minute doggie care, and Peyton was very communicative, friendly, professional, and kind right from the start. Throughout her visits, she was always on time and gave detailed updates with photos. We knew our dogs were in great hands! Even when surprises were thrown her way, Peyton handled every situation with care and grace. We would happily have Peyton back to care for our beloved animals!”
“Lauren is fantastic! Responded super fast to my messages, and even was cool with my odd schedule requests! Gobo loves her, and she will be our first call next time we go out of town!”
“Jenn was great. She met with me before hand to go over everything and was incredibly friendly. She kept me updated on my two cats and sent photos every single time. Love her !”
“Kahmayah took my request last minute and literally saved my vacation as I would not have been able to go without her. I received pictures and videos daily and my pets were so happy and relaxed. Kahmayah even went out of her way to get here and to grab some food midway through the stay. I will rebook her again next time I go away! I highly recommend her.”
About: I have 2 sweet boys named Ozo and Coconut. One has an allergy to chicken so I understand the concern and needs our babies may need a bit more in depth because of my own experience. I’ve also taken care of pets from friends and family each with their own particular routine so I can adjust quick to situations. Flexibility + Care I like to make sure my pets are taken care of and feel comfortable before i start my day. I like to go on walks and feel like having a furry pet can make it better for both of us. They get their cardio and I do too :) I work part time on certain days so it gives me time to stop in during the day or stay overnight. I have a car which makes it easier to travel to a clients home to walk or check up on the pets I follow schedules for feeding time/medications they may need.
“We had such a great experience with Philsung! It was our first time booking him, and everything went so smoothly. He was super punctual, very friendly, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. He played with our three cats, sent lots of cute photos and updates, and kept everything clean (including scooping the litter). He’s also really easy to communicate with and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Our cats clearly liked him too! We’ll definitely book with him again next time — highly recommend!”
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
“Sara was great to work with! She is very timely, took care of our kitties like they were her own, and checked in with pictures and updates. Our normally shy kitties came out to see her so that tells me only great things! We also felt that our home was safe and treated with care too. I highly recommend her and we will be using her again for future trips. Thank you so much!”
“Andrew was wonderful. He helped me in and also leaving with the two carriers. Very helpful polite and sent me pictures and a video. I would definitely recommend him and use him in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Dani! I’m a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets for over a decade. I’ve always felt a strong connection with animals, and being around them is where I feel most relaxed and at ease. I have a degree in Psychology and several years of experience working in education, and I currently work as a special education teacher. I’m naturally patient and attentive, and my background in psychology and education has given me a strong understanding of individual needs, personalities, and different ways of communicating. I bring that same patience and attentiveness into caring for animals. I want to get to know your pet as an individual and understand what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else. They’re family, and I understand the worry, sadness, and anxiety that can come with being away from them. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I’m always happy to send photos, videos, and updates, and I want you to feel comfortable sharing anything that helps me give your pet the best possible care. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I want you to be able to enjoy your time away! I'm so excited to meet you and your pets! I have plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week! I’m available weekday evenings after 5 PM, as well as weekends, holidays, school breaks, and school closure days. I work at a school, so I have additional daytime availability throughout the year. I’m happy to work with your schedule and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! I am happy to offer dog walking and pet sitting services! I have a dog and cat of my own at home so I am willing to watch your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Camila was great with Tilly! She showed up on time and took awesome care of her. When I got home, Tilly was super calm and happy, so I know she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Camila again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!”
“Scarlett is wonderful! We will continue to trust her with our boy as long as she continues to dog sit! She is reliable, attentive & our dog absolutely loves her. She has also helped us when we’ve needed help at the last minute and we are so appreciative!”
About: I’ve had 2 Labrador Retrievers since childhood so I understand their behavior, needs, and personalities. I’m attentive and patient, making sure each one feels safe and comfortable in a new environment. I keep their routine consistent, provide clean litter, fresh food and water, and give them the right balance of attention and space. I’m available most days, including weekends, and can accommodate same-day bookings. I’m home often, so your pet will get plenty of attention, regular walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent, and give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Your pet will be treated like part of the family.
About: I grew up with a senior Yorkie and learned to be reliable, patient, and attentive. I provide personalized care for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets needing extra support. My time is mostly open but I am available on weekdays during the morning and afternoon. Weekends saturday and Sunday can be free and evening if needed. Our apartment has a private fenced dog park that we are able to enter. I am also able to follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water and regular potty breaks. I can keep owners updated with photos and messages, and make sure both the pet and home are safe, clean, and well cared for.
About: Heyo all! My names Kayla and I’ve been a veterinary assistant for the past six years. I’m currently in nursing school looking to make a few extra dollars on the side (for coffee of course). And would love to spend time with your pets :) I’m currently not working a set schedule at a veterinary office, due to prioritizing school, but I am available as needed for quick check-ins throughout the week! I have three fur babies that I have at home that I love dearly, they’re all up to date on vaccines and do well with other dogs as well.
“I seriously can't say enough good things about Jalisa. I booked her to sit my mom's cat (used to be my cat--long story...) and she was incredibly responsive, flexible (I had gotten the dates wrong and had to extend the stay, and she was totally adaptable), and just overall awesome. The cat had a great time. I would (and will) book her again for sure. She's the best!”

We made last-minute plans and were worried about finding pet care until we met Rachel! Her prompt reply to our inquiry and willingness to meet with us before the trip put us completely at ease—we left for the weekend feeling confident our pets were in great hands. With each drop-in, Rachel sent detailed, thoughtful messages and photos, so there was never a doubt about how well cared for our two dogs and cat were. She was precise, professional, and clearly took the time to understand each of our animals' personalities and needs. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, and it was obvious Rachel genuinely cared. We'd recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again.

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.

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 .

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.
