“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!”

“Jessica is compassionate and extremely conscientious. She genuinely cares about our pets and takes the time to not just tend to their food, but play with them and give them pets and snuggles. They genuinely like her. And so do we. 😊”


“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.”

“Shelbi does a great job! I don't have the easiest cats but she did everything that I needed and there were no issues and I came back to a clean and peaceful house. I would definitely have her watch my cats again.”

“Your pet will be the one on vacation! Not just you! I was very anxious about going on vacation for the first time without my Ronnie. Elizabeth took exceptional care of my boy. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. The solid communication and pictures left me to never worry about the state of Ronnie’s wellbeing. Such an stress-free service. I couldn't recommend MORE.”

“Our family had to go out of town for a funeral without a lot of notice. We had never left our kitties with a stranger before and we were pretty apprehensive about it. But from the first meet and greet through our return home, Kayla did so much to put our minds at ease. Here are some highlights: At the first meeting, it was obvious that Kayla loves animals. I wanted someone here for them whose heart was truly in this job, and her’s really was. She also not only answered all of our questions, she asked some that we weren’t even thinking about (lights, plants) and took detailed notes. While we were gone, Kayla kept our kitties fed, gave one of them his medication, which we expected, but she also took lots of pictures and sent updates about her time with them. And gosh, I loved these updates! They were detailed, and some made me laugh, these updates also kept me from worrying about my pets during a time when I had a lot going on. I would absolutely request Kayla again and I would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. We came home to happy and well cared for babies!”


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.
“Mandy did a great job with Jake, my cat. I was confident that he was being well cared for and Mandy did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable. This was my first time using a pet sitter and I was very happy and will definitely use Mandy again for my next trip.”

About: Hi! I’m a nursing student who loves staying active, and dog walking/drop-in visits fit perfectly into my routine. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others—so you can trust that your pet will be safe and well taken care of. I’m happy to follow your pet’s exact routine, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or giving medications (if needed). During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, and I always send updates with photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits, and I do my best to be flexible with scheduling. I also try to respond quickly to messages! I’d love to meet you and your pet 🐶💕 Pet care is something I intentionally build into my routine each week. I keep a structured schedule as a nursing student and nursing assistant, so I plan my days to ensure I’m available, on time, and able to give each pet my full attention. Walks and drop-in visits fit perfectly with my active lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending that time with animals. I’m not able to host pets in my home, but I provide dependable care in clients’ homes through drop-in visits and walks. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with regular updates and photos.
About: I've been pet sitting for family and friends for a couple years and currently work at a pet boarding facility for dogs and cats! I'm currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, exercise, and care. I'll make sure the pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I'll also keep the home clean and provide updates to the owner.

About: Hi! My name is Maranda, and I’m a huge animal lover currently studying veterinary technology. I also have prior experience with animal welfare where I care for pets daily and help make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while away from home. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know each pet individually. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, medication schedules, extra patience, or just lots of attention and cuddles, I’m happy to provide personalized care. My veterinary studies and hands-on experience working with animals have helped me become comfortable recognizing normal behavior, following care instructions carefully, and staying calm in different situations. I also have experience with feeding routines, cleaning, basic grooming, and handling anxious or energetic pets. I know pets are family, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and care I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am a college student at Sinclair but my schedule is pretty flexible. Which still allows me plenty of time to provide reliable pet care, walks, drop-ins, and attention throughout the week. At home, I care for my dog by making sure she is safe, comfortable, well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention and love. I help care for dogs and cats by monitoring behavior, cleaning, feeding, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while away from home.

About: Hi there! I have been an animal lover my whole life. In 2023, I lost my childhood kitty, Mr. Fluffy, after 22 beautiful years together. Around that time, I was traveling a lot for work and was so grateful for the people in my life who looked after him. It gave me the peace of mind I needed and I hope to share that with you. I currently have 4 kitties that I have adopted from rescues/shelters and love giving them the best life possible! I dog sat for 6 years when I was a teenager and have helped friends with all of their pet sitting needs throughout the years. I have experience caring for kitties of all ages and understand the importance of ensuring your fur babies are well cared for. I am unfortunately allergic to most breeds of dogs, so I am more limited when it comes to loving on them, but am happy to play and take them out for walks. I was recently medically retired from the military, so aside from medical appointments, I have time to drop in and care for your fur babies whenever needed. Please let me know what your preferences are for your pets at home (i.e. any off limits areas, etc). With four kitties of my own, I am prepared for sneaky pets who try to get outside.

About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.
“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”


About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.
“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.”

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.
