“Jody was awesome. She is very caring and took great care of my babies when I needed help this week. I highly recommend her. I have 3 dogs and two cats all with different personalities. Jody understood each one and took great care of them the way they needed.”
“Great communication and did so well with Cheerio. He’s not typically one to take well to strangers, but from the daily pictures I received I can tell he enjoyed the visits! I would definitely use Jessica again.”
“Shelbi was super responsive and flexible even though our plans kept changing due to family circumstances! She was so enthusiastic at our meet and greet and had a wonderfully warm and playful personality with our dog! Will happily book with Shelbi again!”
“Had Kendall watch over my cat for two weeks. Fantastic job. Always communicated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Make sure to hire when you need someone to look after your animal”
“Emma was wonderful with my cat while I was away! She made notes every day about how she was doing, and made sure to always update me with pictures and videos. Will 100% rebook her in the future!”
About: I am currently working as a dog bather and graduated from MVCTC Animal Care and Management. I have experience in small animals and basic training. I am currently working part time so I have lots of availability. I am available anytime on Mondays and Sundays and after 5 Tuesday- Saturday. Times and dates are flexible. I love to cuddle up with any pets if you or your pet would like. I can also easily crate pets and feed them on specific schedules as well as providing fresh water.
“Tatum always does such a nice job with watching my cat, Davinci. She’s a great communicator sending updates and pictures. She always leaves my house cleaner than she found it, too. Highly recommend!”
“Mia was outstanding - very patient with our dog who gets depressed when we leave. She didn't push him and waited until he was ready to interact. And she sent pictures, a wonderful way for us to stay connected. I highly recommend Mia for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Aubrey is always so sweet with our two dogs - they love her visits! It is so nice to know they are well taken care of when we are away. I highly recommend Aubrey’s services!”
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
About: I have always grown up with pets and enjoy all our furry friends. I am passionate about making their short time in our lives the best it can be. I am happy to find a time that works for both of us to care for your pet. I am willing to work around my schedule to accommodate their needs. I have a dog at home that my roommate rescued. She is such a loving puppy who needs lots of attention. On the days my roommate is at work I take her on walks and make sure she's fed and gets lots of playing time.
“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”
About: I have had and helped take care of a dog my entire life. I have also taken care of my neighbor, family, and friends dogs for many years. I am currently in high school, so I can take care of any pets on the weekends or any time after three, I have always taken care of my dog when I get home as I am the first one home usually. I have taken care of dogs that do not have fences before and I’ve done great at that. I like to play with mine and other peoples dogs while I watch them to keep the company or just pet them if they are older.
“I am so grateful that I found Kayla on Rover. We had a meet and greet and my animals really took to her. She has a very calming and gentle energy that really connected with my two dogs and 2 cats. She agreed to do a drop in visit for me while I was out of town for an extended day. She tidied up after my stubborn Frenchie, took care of their food needs, got them some sunshine and exercise and sent some adorable photos. I am so happy and have already set up another sitting with Kayla.”
“Sierra is VERY good with cats! (Or at least with mine!) I appreciated the daily updates on her bm's, urine outputs, and daily photos! It helped me not worry so much about being away. I plan to hire her again in the near future!”
“Artur is great. He loves cats as much as dogs. He is very conscientious. My cat loves to play with him. Artur sweeps up the litter up and recycles my cans. He saw my desk that I bought still in the box and he put it together for me. He is a Ukrainian immigrant but his English is good. I highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life. From the best well-behaved dogs to troublesome puppies, as well as a heavily medicated seizure-prone dog, I’ve seen a lot. Greyhounds, pugs, mutts, etc, I’ve either had or cared for a wide range of breeds. I have owned up to 5 dogs at a time as well as up to 4 cats. I do have some training experience with puppies as far as obedience and walking, and have dealt with many dogs that pull on-leash or are reactive. My family members and friends always come to me first to dog sit. I am an animal lover through and through. I love photography and taking pet photos so I’m quick to get a cute pic while they’re being cute, funny, or playful 🥰. I’m working part time, mainly evenings so while you’re at work during the day I can watch your pets and give them all the attention they need, taking them out frequently. Most days I am available until 1 to 3pm. I am an experienced walker/sitter and have the patience for stubborn dogs as much as I do the easy ones. I’m very specific to cater towards each dogs individual needs and will follow given instructions to the absolute best of my ability.
“Taylor was an amazing sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. We had a stressful and emotional wedding get away and knowing the pets we're in good hands was a huge relief. Her check ins went exactly by the schedule we planned and she provided several photos at each visit. She quickly responded to any questions I had during our time away. We are excited to have her close by and available to help in the future!!”

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.
