“I had a wonderful experience with my pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Julius, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and treated Julius like her own. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that he was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I will absolutely book her again!” 🐾❤️”
About: Love animals and I will keep them very safe and make sure nothing happens to them. I am very responsible and know a lot about animal care due to my 4 years studies in high school in veterinary major and volunteered at a vet clinic with 177 hours. I have also pet sit a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs. I am free anytime in the week just let me know in advance and I’ll let you know. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can manage to fit your fur babies into it! I care animals by making sure they have the right amount of food not too much not to little and playing with them so they get some activity and playtime. If it is a dog I will take them out to walk as many times as requested. I am very responsible when it comes to animals. For cats I always make sure to never let them be able to even try to go outside if they are an only indoor cat.
About: When I was five my parents gave my brothers and I a puppy for christmas and named him Sparky, this year he turns 16! Growing up I have always loved animals of all shapes and sizes and would love to love your furbaby. I have taught Sparky plenty of tricks and enjoy the bonding it builds. I have petsat for plenty of my friends and have always enjoyed it. Not only do I have 15+ years of experience with dogs but I also have years of experience with cats! I have my own cat named Cleo and she turned 2 this year. I am currently working part time as a Registered Behavior Technician. I will have plenty of time before and after sessions to play and care for your furbabies. I also have weekends off! I will always ensure your pet is safe and cared for. I am super respectful of other people’s homes and belongings and will treat your furbaby as my own.
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for both a large dog in the past and a small dog currently, along with my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m organized, reliable, and able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special care needs to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and instructions, keep spaces clean and secure, and make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and stress-free.
About: I love providing animals with the best care because they could feel stressed without their owners. I love taking away anny type of anxiety for them. I’m currently a college student so I have plenty of time to check in with your fur babies everyday and a few times a week I have a fenced yard and a cat who is vaccinated. I make sure they have their necessities and provide them with what makes them feel safe whether it’s space, company, etc.
About: This is a dual sitter account! Me and my partner will both be present during bookings 🐾. About Isa: Hi! Here's a little about me : As someone slowly trying to transition into a more vegan lifestyle, I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl and I'm always the type of person to see a stray kitten and feed them immediately. I am on a constant mission of rescuing stray cats/animals and bringing them to safety. I myself have a one year old cat that I rescued from a park and I help take care of my partners french bulldog :). I have experience taking care of a variety of dogs, whether they are big or small. Some dog breeds I have cared of include french bulldog, pitbull, husky, golden doodle, australian shepard, and many more! About Rei: Hello, I look forward to helping take care of all your precious babies. Since I can remember I have always fostered a variety animals in my home. Whether it was a bird, a turtle, bunnies, or dogs and cats; in my home they've all been treated equally and loved with all my heart! I avidly seek new experiences, and walking or caring for any animal has always been one of my favorites. Raising animals is not new to me, and neither is taking care of one that needs medical attention, or a scheduled medication. I don't think ill ever spend a day of my life not wanting to care for any animal, and i'm more than happy to help yours! Rei and I are both currently working part-time so we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to our schedule. We are both usually available on after 2 pm on most weekdays & weekends. As we are college students, our availability may be subject to change so just give us a text and we can arrange a time that fits both our schedules to take care of your fur babies! Rei and I have a fenced yard for play time in the backyard with pups. We also have a variety of toys to play with for cats and dogs as well as many treats. We always try to keep the house free of any scents such candles/diffuser in order to not harm my pets.
“Isabel took great care of our cat Stanley! She was very communicative and sent great pictures of their playtime and cuddles. She even watered some of our plants and gave us updates about how our house was faring during the heatwave which put our minds at ease while we were out of town.”
“Mia took wonderful care of my cat while I was away and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My cat is used to spending time outdoors and absolutely loves being outside so I really appreciated that she made sure he got plenty of sunshine every day, usually 30 minutes to an hour. Mia is communicative and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Throughout my cat’s stay I always felt reassured that he was in great hands. Since he stayed with her for nearly a month she even went the extra mile and bought him a few toys to help him feel more comfortable and at home. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my cat Mowgli again.”
About: What’s set me apart from other sitters is that I love dogs and I’ll provided the care you want as followed by any rules ! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have enough time to play with your pups. I can do on boarding on weekends and dog walk everyday of the week at any time . I live in a spacious apartment and I have a small doggy that will keep he/she company. And I will crate if needed. I’ll always be watching!
About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)
“I have asked Frank and Marlene numerous times to take care of my cat and they are really great. Great communication and reply fast to messages. Recommend them highly”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve never lived without dogs, they are my pride and joy and what I look forward to coming home to. I work a part time and am also in university a couple days of the week. So when I’m not busy I absolutely love doing this as a side hustle for extra income. I am very loving and try to take a calm and gentle approach even if my dogs are misbehaving which isn’t often. I have one very chill senior dog and one very hyper one so sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the different energy level but I love it. I adjust my caregiver abilities depending on the animal.
About: The usual go-to pet sitter when friends & family are out of town. From overnight stays to check ins throughout the day for feeding, medicine, and play. I have a flexible schedule due to my work as a freelancer in digital media. Feel free to reach out whenever. Early morning pet care available. A pet’s comfort will always come first and I do my best to create an enjoyable and secure environment for all animals in my care.
“Jennifer is amazing! She’s super kind to Pretzel, very professional, punctual, friendly and communicative. Pretzel starts off a little shy and she was patient with him. She goes above and beyond for your fur baby.”
“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”
“Kathryn is: conscientious, kind, considerate, capable, competent, and funny. She took care of my precious babies and I couldn’t have been happier with how happy they were around her. She cared for my apartment like it was her own, and I never worried once about anything while i was away. Thank you, Kathryn, for being amazing and wonderful!”
About: I love animals since I was a kid and back at that time,I used to look for lost dogs around my neighborhood and bring them to my house and wait for the owners pick them up. It doesn’t matter if it’s a puppy or a senior dog,I’ll given them love the same way and treat it like its mine. I have experience with all ages. Dogs are everything to me and my whole family loves it too. We have a big house for it and we also have a dog. I am looking forward to take care of them and also have fun with all size of dogs. I am currently in grad school which classes are at night so I can work accordingly to what’s better for the owner. I’m flexible and I can work with your schedule My dog is very friendly with other dogs, he is neutered. Our neighborhood is very safe and we walk on sidewalks far from the street. Also, I live close to a dog park. I let them free, no cages

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.
