“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
“Heather was the BEST! I’ve never used Rover before, but now I’m sure to rebook. There weren’t any issues and she went above and beyond (cleaned water filter, vacuumed, etc). Gave me such peace of mind while I was away”
“Lindi was an excellent cat sitter for us! She arrived promptly every morning and kept our girls happy and well fed. She even visited ahead of time to get to know them. She went above and beyond!”
“Yvette took care of our cats while we were away for almost 2 weeks and she was great! She sent pictures along the way and was super easy to communicate with. We always knew how the were doing, whether hiding under the bed or snuggling with her girls for a nap. The cats came home happy and we will definitely be calling Yvette again in the future/.”
“I’ve never left my cat, Willow, with anyone so I was really nervous to try this app out and I’m really glad that I did. I wouldn’t trust Willow with anyone else but Lauren. She did an excellent job taking care of her and provided daily updates with photos included. Definitely plan on rebooking in the future. 10/10 experience.”
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have looked after and cared for pets since childhood, and would love to add your pet to my roster! I am a massage therapist working 4 days a week. I am available all day on Wednesdays, and Friday afternoons to take your dog for a walk, feed your cat, or hang out with your furry friend! I am flexible to work with you and your pet to best suit their needs. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, hang out with them at your house, or take them to my fenced in yard where they can run either by themselves or with my dog.
“Jordan was amazing with my cats! She took great care of them and played with them as if they were her own. I would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive cat sitter.”
“Gianna was great , she took outstanding care of our elderly cat, and kept us updated with tons of photos! She also went above and beyond by picking up an extra day when our flight got canceled, and we had to stay an extra day.”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! We needed Claire twice a day for an entire week. Our dog has been the only pet in our home for several years and she likes her alone time a lot so a Pet Hotel was not going to be a good fit for her. At the last minute I found Rover and decided to give it a try. It was super easy to look though our choices, contact which "petgivers" we liked, and then book the days and times we needed. Claire accepted our booking and even came over a couple hours later to meet Brownie, we were leaving the next day super early. Not only did Claire accept us with a last minute booking but she came to meet Brownie that night and she was super sweet and very professional. I can't say enough good things about her, so here are a few: - She was very prompt with the times we had scheduled. - She communicated with us about things, for instance the temp dropped to low 30's which we didn't plan for and had not turned on the heat, she contacted us to let us know the temp in the house was 50 degrees and asked if we wanted her to turn the heat on. - She went above and beyond our expectations. - Most importantly our Furry Family Member loved having her around. I would definitely use Claire again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look in on their furry loved one.”
About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
About: With a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, I bring a high level of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility to pet care. I treat every animal with the utmost kindness, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can count on me for reliable updates, structured routines, and plenty of TLC! Being a mom has taught me how to manage my time efficiently while staying patient, organized, and adaptable. I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your animals the dedicated attention they deserve Safety is always my top priority. Whether I am visiting your home or keeping an eye on your pets elsewhere, I stay attentive, follow your exact care instructions, and ensure a secure, loving environment at all times
About: Animals are my life and I believe they deserve nothing but the best. I've had 2 years of boarding experience with Indiana's top boarding facility as a team lead. I've had lots of experience with several cats and dogs of varying needs and temperaments. I am very practiced with specific medication administration (including injections and nebulizers), specific dietary needs/restrictions, and animals with a wide variety of special needs (blindness, deafness, mobility issues, diabetes, epilepsy, and senior needs). My dedication to providing animals with the care and attention they deserve knows no bounds. Most of my day right now is spent with my miniature schnauzer, Cocoa. For about 2 years I have devoted a large amount of my time to dog and cat care in a professional facility, from boarding to daycare. I only stepped away because I wanted to pursue an education as a vet tech. Animal care is, in every sense, my passion and career. I like to tailor my care to what will fit both the owner's needs and the pet's needs. Taking time to really get to know an animal and build that trust with them is a MUST. I believe communication is of the utmost importance and something I pride myself on when it comes to owners and their comfort and peace of mind while away from their furry family member. At the end of the day, they aren't just leaving a pet, they're leaving a family member in the care of a stranger. It's my duty to make myself someone you can feel your baby is safe and happy with.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for many years. I have provided pet sitting services for over 15 years and was a devoted dog owner for 15 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a pet's life.Since 2018, I have been actively involved in fostering, caring for animals with a wide range of needs and personalities. My experience includes senior dogs, small breeds, cats, puppies, newborns, nursing mothers, and pets requiring medical attention or specialized care. Through fostering and pet sitting, I have become comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra patience and support to pets who need it most.What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet's individual needs while treating them like family. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior needing extra comfort, or recovering from a medical issue, I provide attentive, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I do not work outside the home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for feedings, medication schedules, playtime, and individualized attention. My daily routine is already centered around caring for foster animals, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent feeding times and providing attentive care to pets with a variety of needs. Whether your cat requires extra monitoring, a structured routine, or simply companionship, I have the time and flexibility to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a pet-friendly home environment. I also have resident cats, so any visiting pets should be comfortable around cats or able to be safely separated if needed. With over 15 years of pet-sitting experience and fostering since 2018, I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, medical cases, kittens, puppies, and nursing mothers. I closely follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Because I have an open schedule and caring for animals is my primary focus, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home while their families are away. 🐾🐱🐶
“Sebastian arrived early to get all of Bailey’s backstory and lore. He was super engaged and friendly and that it made it super easy to trust my best friend with him. highly recommend.”
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”

I would highly recommend hiring Jason to check in on your pets while you’re away. Jason is communicative, dilligent, helpful, and kind. I made a mistake and left too little food for my cats. Jason made sure to let me know so we could work out a plan to have some cat food delivered. However, Jason was willing to go above and beyond to even pick up some food from my cats from the store!! He didn’t end up needing to do so, but the fact that he had offered it speaks volumes about his dedication to the pets he watches. A fantastic pet-sitter and a wonderful human!
Ty was wonderful and very thoughtful. He spent a good amount of time with our cat and was always punctual. Momo, who is quite shy, actually played with him and was able to build trust with him. When we got back, the house was exactly how we had left it. He was prompt with communication and sent us pictures of our pet during each visit. We would definitely hire Ty again for future needs.
Paola was great with our cats. They have to be fed separately and with care and she was more than able to accomplish that. She was able to routinely locate our cat that likes to hide. Our skittish cat even got some pets from her! Paola always made sure to send us pictures and updates and really kept us in the loop and helped ease our minds. We knew our pets were in good hands.

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.

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 .
