“We came across Ania, very last minute and Ania was awesome and very responsive from the moment we were looking to book her and after when we were giving her instructions for our cat. Our cat was very comfortable to approach her. We highly recommend her!”
“Tamara did a fantastic job. She kept in constant contact during visits. Asked questions about my kitties peculiarities to make sure nothing was wrong and sent great pics.”
“Angela is very kind as I asked her to water my plants and bring in packages as well as taking care of my Ally. She did an amazing job. I would call her again if the future calls for a Rover sitter. Thank you, Brenda”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for the care of our fur babies. She gave us updates very often and was very good at communicating what was going on. She sent us some really great photos of them too. I felt relieved while we were out of town to have Whitney care for them. She genuinely cared for them too. I would recommend Whitney 10/10!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! We had to fly back to PA for a funeral, so we had to schedule last minute. She was super accommodating and worked with us on the check-ins for our chocolate lab. Max had a great time with her and she provided great notes and pictures. Jennifer even brought in our mail. I would recommend her to anyone I know and will definitely use her again. She makes sure your puppy is happy and well taken care of.”
“Lauren was great with Bear during our drop-ins! She was reliable, on time, and gave him tons of love and attention. Bear warmed up quickly—her sweet updates and photos showed him happy and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles. She followed his routines perfectly (feeding, potty breaks, extra affection when needed). Such a relief knowing he was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”

About: I've owned and taken care of pets of all kinds for 50 years. I'm easy going and will love your babies as my own. I have 2 sons, 4 grandkids, 2 dogs, and 1 parrot! I'm currently a retired, trustworthy grandma with wide availability. I like to stay busy, so I've been house and pet sitting through word of mouth for friends and family for years. I love animals so this has been a great fit for my post-retirement (42years) from the Hillsborough county school system. I am available on short notice 7 days a week. I'm happy to help keep your fur babies routine and make them as comfortable and safe as possible. I'm comfortable giving medication, walks, and plenty of play time.
“My 3 pups love Rachel ! They looked happy and relaxed, wagging their tails with big smiles, getting lots of hugs and scratches. Just what my dogs live for ! Such peace of mind for me to go out of town and not have to worry about them. We will definitely book Rachel again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, attention, and love I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as if they were my own while they’re in my care. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also believe in clear communication, so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Since I work from my laptop, I have a flexible schedule and can provide care from your home, make drop-in visits, or spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. My only regular commitments are church on Sunday mornings and ministry on Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any specific instructions provided. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable around me. Whether they enjoy being active, playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I adjust my care to what makes them happiest. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I provide reliable drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also provide photo and video updates during every visit for peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits throughout the week. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks if needed, playtime, affection, and plenty of attention. I always strive to keep pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your instructions carefully and respect your pet’s routine. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for during every visit. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from beloved family pets to farm animals and reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. My experience has taught me that every animal deserves patient, attentive, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or has a unique routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. My availability gives me the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine, provide timely potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they have fresh water and a clean environment. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.
About: I do work with clients but I also work with the dogs. Every dog has its own lively hood that is important to cater. A dog doesn’t just need food and water, it needs companionship. Despite working a part time job, my availability is open for most days of the week. As long as I know the time frame, your dogs will be given the best care I can give! To help overcome any fear or anxiety about a stranger in your house, I do offer meet and greets to help provide a peace of mind.
“Mary did great with our 5 pets (and unexpected packages…)! We just moved 3 weeks ago and I was a bit concerned about leaving them over the weekend in a new home, and with a brand new sitter. She was able to handle the chaos with grace and all were pleased! Even our shyest cats came out as of visit #2 and by visit #4 they had no fear. Thank you Mary!!”

Lauren was great with our cat, Roxanne. We were well-informed during all visits, received numerous updates, and cute pictures. There were many adorable pictures of shy Roxanne playing with Lauren. We really appreciate the great communication. Would definitely recommend Lauren.
Brittany took the job of looking out for our advanced- age cat at short notice, and while in her final weeks of pregnancy. She left great correspondence while we were traveling and gave me the piece of mind I did not think I would find. She is responsible, dependable, and great at communicating. We are very happy she accepted our job and we highly recommend her service.
Julianna was extremely reliable, and so compassionate caring for our cat while we were away! We were truly blown away by her attention to detail and her calm nature… She was willing to look out for a few specific things on our list without hesitation. We were so pleased and felt so comfortable knowing that Mochi was in good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our getaway so much more. We will definitely be rebooking her soon for another weekend away! Highly, highly recommend.
I felt very good about having her visit our house and caring for our cats from the very start. She asked lots of relevant questions about Hobbit and Foo, and they looked happy in every photo she sent with each visit. We'd definitely hire her again, and give a strong recommendation to friends.

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.

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 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.
