“Anna is an amazing pet sitter. She took good care of my fur baby for 8 days and did both AM and PM visits. She did great with giving my cat his medicine and ensuring he took it. I felt comfortable knowing she was there to care for him twice a day. It made my trip much more enjoyable so, thank you Anna for all your hard work!”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Amelia has been so great in getting to know our dogs and house and even with a broken door handle (eek!) was able to problem solve, take care of all 3 of my kiddos and communicated the whole way.”
About: i’ve taken care of pets my whole life, i’ve also trained a few pups in my life so i believe i could also train yours! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m able to spend plenty of time feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so I can easily work around different pets’ needs and routines. I care for pets by providing a safe and comfortable environment. i would like to optimize the pets comfort even if it’s over my own. I plan to go above and beyond since i know how important and scary it can be to let a stranger care for your loved one. Whatever the animal needs to be happy, i will do it even if it’s a little song before they eat or to be tucked in to nap.
About: I have house sat dogs and cats as a job for about 4 years. I have my own dogs as well. I’ve taken care of big and little dogs, puppies, dogs that need medications and shots, and older cats. I am currently a full time student in college but have many free days and times throughout the week to take care of your lovely pets. I will follow every instruction that is told to me while i’m in the clients home. I will also go above and beyond to make sure the client and pet is satisfied.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, since I was about 5 years old, I’ve cared for 7 of my own, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds like Dobermans. I’ve raised all of them from puppies, including two full litters, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for training and socialization. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical needs and disabilities, giving me the skills to provide attentive, gentle, and reliable care for pets of all ages and conditions. I’m currently a full time student! Taking a couple classes! I have many days where i’m not busy! So i decided to give away my time ! I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and routines. In your home, I follow feeding, meds, and schedules carefully. With me, pets get a safe, loving environment tailored to their needs, whether playful puppies, seniors, or special care. Every pet is treated like family.
About: I’m not as experienced in caring for dogs. However, I am flexible and willing to learn and help out wherever I am needed. I am more comfortable with small dogs for now. I’m a substitute teacher during the school year, so while school is out, I have plenty of time to drop in to give your pets companionship and care. In my own home I do my best to always make sure my cat has several sources of water and a clean litter box and plenty of ways to entertain herself while I’m away. While caring for others’ pets I make sure to follow instructions closely and follow established routines.
About: I am twenty seven years old, and I have had many years of dog care experience, I worked at three different animal care facilities as a teen. (Lucys doggy daycare, Becker Animal Hospital and Retreat, and Pet supplies Plus) Dogs are my life. I have an open schedule, no tie downs other than my children! I am a stay at home mommy! I am still teaching my young children the boundaries that animals have, but you can rest assured knowing there will be no ear or tail pulling. I have a very safe and fun yard with tons of shade and turf, and I cannot wait to get to play with your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom with two small children. They are currently being taught animals boundaries, they will never be left alone with your animal. You can trust that they will be protected from ear or tail pulling! I have a small fenced yard around my house and an additional fenced in yard around my entire property. I have poultry and small children, but your animal will be cared for properly and with love.
About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I have open availability during the week and during the weekend. My schedule is open when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️

We were excited to find Pam and Kat through Rover. We knew as soon as we met them that our cats would be in good hands. Pam and Kat took care of our cat while we were out of town for 4 nights. It was our first time leaving our cat completely alone in our house--our other cat recently passed away--and we were very nervous about how he might behave. The daily Rover reports from Pam and Kat were very helpful--it was so nice to see pictures of our cat playing and being happy. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
