About: I am a loving and responsible dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs patience, attention, and kindness. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, providing playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am experienced with daily routines such as feeding, potty breaks, grooming, and giving dogs plenty of love and companionship. I treat every pet like a member of my own family. I am patient, reliable, and committed to providing a safe and happy experience for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with pets throughout the week. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks or drop-in visits. I like to plan my day around providing reliable and loving care for pets. I am happy to follow each pet’s routine, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime. I am also a dog owner, so I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs before providing care. For walks and drop-in visits, I provide a safe and calm environment, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and companionship. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I will treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I provide for my own dog.
“We love having Angela come and care for our cats and dogs. She responds so quickly making booking easy and she never hesitates to contact us if something comes up while we are away. When we return, our pets are always calm and happy, a sure sign that she takes good care of them.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was old enough to walk! I am often the one called by friends and family to care for their pets. I currently work from home and have the ability to be flexible allowing for check ins through out the day! I am new to the area so I have a lot of free time for pet care. I would follow guidelines provided on care instructions in your home. I know each pet is different and sometimes need extra care for one reason or another!
“As always, Becky is incredibly responsible and caring with our kitties. We had some work going on in the house and they were very freaked out - Becky was very attuned to their needs and communicated well.”
“Lauren was so attentive and informative when she would drop in to tend to our dogs when I was out of town for 2 days! The updates were thorough and she and the dogs seems to get a long just fine! I will definitely reach out to her again to watch my dogs anytime!”
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life from turtles to rats to cats and dogs, I have experience with caring for a variety of animals. Most recently I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I gained a lot of experience with handling large dogs, learning animal body language, and feeding and administering medications. I am up for any challenge and am a quick learner! I am a full-time student so my schedule is flexible to both weekends and weekdays, and I am open to pet/house sitting and dog walking :) I am very cautious when it comes to locking gates and doors, and I tend to stick to consistent home routines that the client's set to minimize anxiety for pets!
“She's very nice, dependable and flexible. Our dogs and cats love her. We will be asking her for more dates to check on our dogs again. We were very happy with her service! Thanks Deirdra! 😊”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”
About: My family has had pets for as long as I can remember. They have relied on me to help take care of them. We have always had a family dog and I’ve owned my own cats as well as birds. We currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I enjoyed helping train our puppy and I am very comfortable around cats and dogs. I am very passionate about caring for animals and I'd love to get to know the individual personalities and preferences of your pets. I have my own transportation and will be completing all of the services myself! I’m currently only working part time so I will have lots of time to dedicate to pet care! I am mostly available weekdays Mon-Thur, and Friday before 3pm I make sure to be fully informed about the specific care that the client's pets need. I enjoy walking around the area and I would love to exercise any dogs that like to go on walks. I will listen to the owner and ensure that animals feel comfortable and safe.
“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”
“Johanna is my go-to and I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. They're easily the most trustworthy sitter I've ever had. They follows my cat's care instructions closely and does a fantastic job at providing detailed updates and lots of photos as well, so I can rest assured he's in good hands. Most importantly, Oscar adores her!”
“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
About: I grew up with dogs and love dogs like crazy! In my house dogs are treated like honored guests. I love to snuggle with dogs and take them everywhere. In my life I've had many different types of dogs as well as a ferret, fish, a snake, and a few birds. I'm an advocate for any animal no matter what the shape size or species. I believe they all deserve a chance. I think this is just another way of helping out those people that want a sitter but can't afford Petco or other hotels.
“Yvonne was nothing but wonderful! She exceeded all expectations I had, and went above and beyond with my pups all while showing the utmost respect for myself and my home. Clear and effective communication, would recommended her to anyone and plan on using her services again in the future :)”

Erica is the BEST sitter for my cat Pusheen while I was away for over 2 weeks at the end of summer. She was attentive, caring, provide heart warming and great updates on my cat with pictures. Her communication was stellar. She let me know that my cat was in distress during the time i am away (my cat just loves is so much) and hurt his tail. Erica provided yender care to my cat, including putting in collar and medication... this is beyond what is expected from her. She started daily check-in since then, to ensure thay my people loving cat is having enough affections. I am glad that she is available to be there for Pusheen. Thank you so much for all you did, Erica. You truly are the best. I appreciate your caring presence. We would certainly want you to sit for Pusheen again when we are away next time.
This was first time using Rover. Helena was wonderful! She took the time with my very timid cats. Went above and beyond what i had asked of her. Anything that seemed off or not quite right with pets or surroundings while I was gone she let me know which I greatly appreciated. Helena will definitely be my go to sitter!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.
Ket was truly a lifesaver and an absolute gem of a sitter. We contacted her very last minute, and without hesitation she was more than willing to step in and help care for our cats, Lucy and Peter. From the very beginning, communication was easy, reassuring, and thoughtful. We had already left the U.S. for vacation a few weeks before she came, so we scheduled a video call to explain everything in detail—our situation, how our fur babies were doing, their routines, and all the instructions for the house. Ket was attentive, asked great questions, and made us feel completely at ease right away. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the responsibility seriously. While we were away, she followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond. She made sure Lucy and Peter were well-fed, played with, and showered with love and attention. She cleaned their feeder, water fountain, and litter box machine thoroughly, keeping everything spotless. On top of that, she kindly brought in our Chewy online order and even took our trash can out so it could be picked up—small details that made a huge difference and showed how thoughtful she is. Lucy and Peter were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. Coming home knowing our cats were loved and our home was well cared for was priceless. We would absolutely, without a doubt, have Ket again. She is reliable, kind, proactive, and genuinely wonderful. Highly, highly recommended! 💛

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.

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.
