“Thank you for taking care of the kitties! You were here on time every time. You put noticeable effort into making friends with my shy cat. Everything was appreciated!”
“Rachel never fails to follow all of my directions in detail! She is meticulous and does an amazing job taking care of my two bunnies and making sure their cage is spotless and they always have fresh hay, water, and treats. Thank you for always doing such an amazing job Rachel!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.
“Amy was incredibly sweet and took great care of my cat. My cat ran right up to Amy when they first met and immediately loved her. She followed all the instructions perfectly!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have been around all kinds of pets all of my life! Chickens, dogs, cats, iguanas, birds, snakes, and even rats, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I have two large, energetic dogs of my own (Doberman and a Cane Corso) so I’m very comfortable handling big, strong, high-energy breeds. I also regularly walk and care for my mother-in-law’s Pomeranian, so I’m as happy working with little dogs and their very big personalities! I’m a cat lover originally, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand that they have their own personalities, boundaries, and routines. Whether your pet is big, small, energetic, shy, or just wants some company and attention, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and help keep them happy, active, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a full-time student and also work full-time during the week, so my pet care availability is focused on weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my weekends to walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets! I do not currently offer boarding services. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’ll also respect your home and keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy.
“Julianne was a great sitter for our two cats. She was prompt with the scheduled timing, followed care instructions thoroughly and to completeness, ensured that our guys were healthy and happy, and would play with them for any extra time she had during the visits. We also really appreciated the pictures of our cats that she’d send after every visit. Our cats get antsy/restless when we get back from weekend trips when we leave extra food/water and forego a check-in, but they were clearly relaxed and calm when we got back: the best sign to see that they were well taken care of while we were away. Thank you again Julianne for your great care of Chai and Bean, and I’m sure they will see you again when we next go out of town!”
About: Hi, I’m Rosie! I’m an experienced animal caregiver and I am very passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet. I’ve known since I was little that I wanted to work with animals, and this opportunity allows me to continue building that path while I’m in college. Through my previous job, I gained hands on experience and a strong understanding that animal welfare always comes first. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! Since I’m currently taking college courses I am usually online finishing assignments but since I am online I make sure to keep my schedule flexible so I can provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work best for you! Safety and trust are my top priorities during walks and drop-ins. I always ensure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before walks and stay aware of our surroundings to keep your dog safe and comfortable. As for drop-ins, I carefully follow your pet’s routine for potty breaks (or ensuring a clean litter box!), feeding, fresh water, and playtime. I double check that doors and gates are secure before leaving and treat your home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!
About: I have hands-on experience providing attentive, loving care for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc. Pet sitting for family, friends, and clients. From juveniles to seniors, I ensure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy in their home environment. I focus on building trust and tailoring my approach to each pet's personality—whether they’re energetic, shy, or in need of extra patience and comfort. Caring for animals is a natural, joyful part of my daily life. Whether I’m tending to my own two cats and snake, or providing pet sitting for others, animal care is woven into my routine with attention and dedication. I provide care to many different pets, but I do offer 24/7 care for those pets that need extra attention. Just message me to discuss schedule expectations and pricing! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow detailed instructions to ensure pets receive familiar care and attention. I always provide updates, photos, and open communication so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“We have booked Natalie 2 times now. I have no worries when leaving my babies in her care. You can tell she loves animals and enjoys getting to be around them. She has vet tech experience which is a plus! We will always use Natalie as long as she’s available!”
About: I’ve lived with a dog for 6 years of my life and have loved every moment of it. I am agile and energetic, and can keep up with even the most playful of dogs. I love going on walks on my own time whenever I can, so adding your dog to my little routine will do nothing but good for all of us. I’m currently on a break between high school and college, so pet time can be scheduled at almost any time of the day, any day of the week. Very few things will get in the way, and if they do, they will be indicated on my schedule. My schedule fills up sporadically, but most of it can be reserved for pets. I am very respectful of any home I enter, and will make sure to leave your space better than I found it. I will keep my eyes on your pet throughout the duration of my time with them, and will make sure that they are safe the entire time.
“Lorraine was our cat/house sitter for over 10 days. She sent daily videos and pictures of our Jasper cat. This was the first time we had left for a long period of time and we were so comfortable with her care. When we came home our house was clean and there was a lovely plant and card. I finally feel comfortable taking longer trips after having Jasper in her care. I will definitely want to hire her again!”
“Nice was excellent! Not only was she able to accommodate my last minute request, but she took great care of my pup! She was punctual and reliable and my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Maribel was fantastic while looking after our 5 month old kitten. She sent lots of photos that showed how happy and comfortable our kitten was with Maribel. Trustworthy, friendly, and punctual. We’ll be booking Maribel again.”
“Victoria was great! My cat fell ill while I was gone and she went above and beyond. Taking my cat urgent care and giving her the extra attention she needed. Thank you!”

Rachel is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our cat while we were abroad for over 2 weeks. She was kind, patient, and so loving! She really brought our shy guy out of his fear of people he doesn't know. Of course we missed him like crazy but we were so pleased by her care. We loved getting daily updates, messages, and pictures. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you so very much Rachel!
I cannot say enough good things about Elisha. She was attentive, communicative, went far above and beyond to make my elderly kitty comfortable. I felt so reassured every step of the way that our pet and home were in incredible hands. If you have a pet that needs a little extra TLC and someone who really cares, look no further. I’d recommend Elisha a thousand times over.
Our animals love Kayli and so do we! She’s incredibly reliable, always sends pictures of our babies, and makes sure they’re taken care of exactly how we ask! We use her for drop in visits when we’re out of town and feel so safe with trusting our home and pets with her :)

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
