“Stephen was absolutely wonderful watching Brick and Odie! He went above and beyond, sending us pictures, taking them on a nice walk, and keeping us updated. His communication was excellent, and we could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and look forward to having him watch them again!”
“Erin was incredibly helpful checking in on our two cats while we were out. She was very kind, communicative, and thorough throughout the entire process. It gave us peace of mind to know they were in good care. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Vu did exactly what I asked and provided thoughtful updates with photos included. He went above and beyond for my cats and left me feeling very comfortable that they received the best care while I was gone. Thank you Vu!”
“Jess was fantastic! This was our first experience with Rover and Jess went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and assure our furry friends were in great hands. We highly recommend Jess.”
“At first we were apprehensive about choosing a new individual to care for our pets. Our first interaction with Brady was that he was a typical uninterested young man who would be ok, but be nothing special. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and wrong in our initial assessment. Our assumption that he was disinterested was really him easily and fully understanding our needs the first time we explained them. He only asked intentional and poinient questions to get exactly the information he needed to provide an exceptional service; he didn't need additional clarification which made us think, wrongly, he was not fully engaged. Don't let his approach and directness fool you; he is fully committed to the job at hand and able to accommodate your and your pets' needs. Brady was excellent with our dog and cat while we were away. He took extra time to play with them daily even though it wasn't required. He was also easily willing to check on the house, find a missing mail package, and ensure the dog (who has storm anxiety) was her usual self after a major storm. He was very responsive to texts through the app even at odd times of day. We appreciate his willingness to be flexible with our delayed and changing flights and his anticipation of our needs. We will definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”
“Tiara was wonderful taking care of our two cats! When our one cat was experiencing separation anxiety she immediately agreed to add a few more check ins to check on him! A+++ sitter; highly recommend!”
“Dani & Anthony are amazing!!!! I received daily updates and pictures of Remi the whole time I was away. They both made my trip 100 times better knowing Remi was being well taken care of.”
“Emma Rae was wonderful and we felt so comfortable leaving our cats in her care. She came to our home to meet our cats prior to our trip. We loved the pictures she sent of the 2 of them. this was our 1st experience with River and we feel so lucky to have connected with Emma Rae. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“We love Chelsea! She always sends adorable photos and is so detailed on how her visit went. It is so nice to not worry about your fur baby when you are away from home. Chelsea is the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of large (120lb+) dogs for a good chunk of my life, as well as medium and small senior dogs. I have extensive experience with cats, especially timid anxious kitties. I also have experience with small animals such as ferrets, hamsters, and rats! There’s no animal that I will not care for and enjoy every second of it I currently work a part time job 9am-1pm, home by 1:15pm. Back in the car heading to pick up my kid by 3:40pm, home by 4:30pm. Available most of the day every Saturday from 9am-3:40. Unavailable Wednesday and Sunday. Having 3 fur babies myself I’m well equipped in calm animal care, currently having a anxious cat myself I am well mannered with boundaries and body language, I have the ability to slip in, scoop boxes, fill bowls, and sneaks out. But also spend as much time as your fur babies might need with them. I am also experienced with dog sitting and walking, having dog sat for multiple breeds of dog and living with a large dog; I’m equipped to walk multiple medium/small or a large dog.
About: Walk time, play time, and snuggle time are all big parts of owning and loving a dog, and happen to be 3 of my favorite things. My 8 year old coonhound mix Wilbur loves to play tug and chase with his BFFs, Chase and Stitch, and would love to meet your pet if you'd like! Not every dog wants play, some need one on one time. I'm here because I love dogs and am in tune with their needs. I pay attention to what they are trying to tell me. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, from mutts to Cairn Terriers to Beagles to Pibulls to St. Bernards, and have yet to find a dog that doesn't like me. Even when their owner said they wouldn't. Even better than that, dogs listen to me inherently and when I come upon a stubborn pup, I know that patience and positive rewards trump everything! Wilbur's BFF Beau was a rescue from animal torturous testing and had many special needs. He was also a flight risk. I dog sat Beau and Lily for 7 years and have learned to never underestimate a Beagle's brain, they will not hesitate to outsmart you. Wilbur grew up with his now deceased BFFs Lily (super mutt) and Beau (Beagle) since he was 3.5 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups who need attentive care. Beau and Lily required meds and special diet as they aged and lived their full lives. Thank you and I look forward to adding your pup to my 4-legged friend list! I'm currently working part time, so your pet will easily fit into my schedule. My hours are flexible and my car is reliable, ready to transport a new friend! I have a fenced in yard and gated wrap around porch, as well as 2 beagles (ages 5 and 7), and a medium sized Wilbur (age 8). At your home harnesses and leashes will always be on before any doors are opened. I can crate your dog as well, if you prefer that.

Lots of love. I have a fur baby myself named Barley. He loves all dogs and would be a great companion for you fur baby. He is a small dog, Cavapoo.
“Casey is always a great cat-sitter and we appreciate her so much! She is reliable, follows instructions, and takes great care of our kitties. She goes the extra mile to try to engage them, although they are transitioning to the more skittish-with-visitors and generally-aloof teenager/ adult cat mode now, so we know its a challenge to entice them these days!”
“Eric has taken care of my two dogs several times now and he has done an AMAZING job. One of my dogs is basically 100lbs of love and the other is 40lbs of energy. He handles both very well. He updates us every visit with pictures and they look pretty darn happy! Eric also has been incredible at taking my last minute appointments which makes him my dog whispering lifesaver.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thorndale
Julia was the sweetest and most caring person ever! She came to babysit my kitten for three days, and was absolutely phenomenal the entire time! She showed up on time, made sure his food, water, and litter were clean and fresh, and sent many pictures throughout her stay. I personally requested the hr of playtime, and she definitely tired him out for sure! He (the kitten) personally - she mentioned he was practicing his biscuit techniques, and was greeting her with happy chirps the entire time! I’d like to say he enjoyed her company as well. On top of all of that, she made sure his area was all clean! No messes, no litter tracks, and nothing out of order. I definitely recommend, and will most definitely be coming back need be of another sitter! She provided an amazing amount of reassurance knowing that the kitten would be in safe hands, as well as the constant contact of his well being! It definitely helped cool our minds out for the weekend!
Brady is amazing. His communication is exceptional and he goes above and beyond what his duties require. We are impressed by his maturity and willingness to excel as a pet sitter. He took wonderful care of our cats and our home while we were away. We will 100% be contacting him for future sits and recommend his services to everyone who needs them. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!

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.
