“Jeannine did a terrific job, especially when it came to adapting to things I screwed up. The pups were in great spirits when I got home, and Jeannine was kind enough to share photos of how were visits with the pups went! Highly recommended!”
“Gabby was absolutely wonderful to hire for cat sitting. She communicates well and she is very thoughtful. She takes care in everything she did while taking care of Astro and even helped us with some odds and ends. I would highly recommend hiring her for pet sitting and will be booking with her again 😊”
About: I've had animals of all kinds growing up, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hedgehog, rabbit, hamster, turtles, crawfish ect. I have been working at a horse barn for 6 years and a kennel that has primarily dogs but some cats as well for 4 years. I'm also certified in dog CPR! I work a full time job from 6:30am-3pm on Monday - Friday. If you live in Troy I can let the dog out to potty in the middle of the day on my 30 minute lunch break! I promise to send lots of pictures of the fur babies! I love to spoil them like my own, I will give updates as much or as little as you like!
“Madeline was a great pet sitter for my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and had detailed daily updates. You can tell she really cares about the animals she takes care of, I would happily book her again!”
“Lindsey was great with my 3 cats one of them needing nightly meds. She communicated with me every visit and she took our trash out wacummed before we got home.”
“I’ve tried other sitters to see who I can have as a backup for Brianna, and Brianna routinely outshines them all. Always get the best care, great photos, and great little descriptions of the visit. Worth every penny.”
“Kasidy was amazing! She watched our kitty for 20 days and helped made our trip stress free! She provided me with daily updates and pictures of him. She stayed at our apartment and kept it very clean. I would 10/10 recommend her, especially for cat sitters. Next time we go out of town and need a sitter we will 100% book Kasidy!”
“Zoe was very kind and took good care of our baby Luna while we were away on a weekend trip. She did a good job of communicating with us and taking pictures and sending us updates. We would definitely have her come over again in the future!”
About: For 10 years, one family trusted me with their kids and their dogs, and I’d love to earn that same trust from you. I cared for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. That meant meals, walks, potty training, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Beyond that family, I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs over the years, which taught me that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of every age, size, and energy level, from rambunctious puppies to laid-back seniors and nervous pups who need a gentle, patient approach. My schedule is fully open, so I can work around your plans, keep your dog’s routine just the way they like it, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I'm Bunny's proud dog mommy. She's an adorable, 5-year-old chihuahua/schnauzer mix I adopted when she was a puppy. She is my entire world! I understand how BIG of a responsibility caring for your pet is, and I will always be sure to provide care exactly as requested. In the past, I've also watched over other dogs and a few cats, which included overnight stay. I work remotely, so I am able to provide care before work as long as you don't live too far away. I can also provide care after work, which usually ends at 5 PM. If you give me enough of a heads up, I can sometimes provide services during my lunch break, which can be done between noon - 2 PM. I can provide basic care, such as dog walks, refill food/water bowls, playtime, dog park visits, etc. However, I am not comfortable with giving medication to pets.
About: My name is Christina and I would love to be your pets home away from home! Our family loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for and pampered while you’re away. Our family includes myself and my husband, and our two kids who are 9 and 15. We do not have any pets in our home right now, so your pet will be the center of attention! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones. I’m currently working remote, with one day in the office so I am able to do frequent bathroom breaks and afternoon walks. My husband is able to assist with care on my days in office. I aim to keep to your pets normal schedule as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard. My kids are 9 & 15 and they adore animals.
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”
“Leti was an AMAZING house/cat sitter! She was super communicative, made sure to send us great photos of our cat, and took excellent care of her while we were gone - including administering medicine to our cat daily! We will definitely be using Leti whenever we travel from here on out.”
“My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.”
“Callie did a wonderful job caring for our three cats with drop in visits. She sent lots of pictures and videos and I really appreciated that each visit she listed the tasks that she did that we requested (litter, water, etc.). Clearly a huge animal lover and a conscientious and compassionate person. And obviously our cats loved her.”
“Taylor was very professional with checking up on my cat. The progress reports were very detailed and she sent plenty of photos. If she's open next time I need these services, I'll definitely book her again!”
“Katherine did a great job looking after Riku! He looked happy in all his pictures. The apartment was left clean and tidy. I would recommend Katherine for your pet sitting needs!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Troy
Eden was very personable and confident, which I greatly appreciated because I have a diabetic cat. It’s very hard to find a sitter who can do subcutaneous shots and she was completely open to learning. In addition she offered to water my flowers and take out the garbage. I highly recommend 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 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 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.

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 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.
