“Joy and Ken were the best! I’m not sure our cats were completely happy to see us come home since they were so well looked after while we were gone. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends and families dogs since I can remember. From single old pups to a house of 10 dogs and cats I’m currently off and free every Monday-Thursday after 2-3pm. Sometimes even as early as 10am. I’m open all afternoon and well into the next morning till 6am. I can only offer to take care of pets at your property, they’d rather be home anyways right? I find that animals prefer a new person in their own nest rather than in a strange new environment.

“Laura is the best! She took great care of my cats while I was on a weekend getaway. Laura is the ultimate cat whisperer — if you would like someone who not only makes sure the cats are fed and kitty litter cleaned, but goes above and beyond to spend quality time with your kitties while you’re away, I 100% recommend Laura to take care of your fur babies.”

About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your fur baby’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your pet, and I’m here to help with that. I currently have free full time availability as I am taking online college classes, I am available anyday anytime Monday-Sunday to help love and care for your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, give medications if needed, and keep their space clean. (I used to work in a veterinary office.) I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.

About: Currently living in a place that doesnt accept pets, so I live vicariously through my friends! I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life, and take care of fur babies when my friends are out of town. My specialty lies in taking extra care to clean bowls and litter boxes, and tidy up the space as needed. I am a stay at home mom of 3 who can be available most days/times within reason of school and appointments. My schedule is very flexible and I am happy to accommodate as needed. I will always greet your pet as I would any loved one, taking care to make them feel loved on and cherished. I will feed, water, and check/clean litter boxes as well as any dirty bowls and feeding space. I am happy to walk dogs and crate as needed per instructions

“Briana is a phenomenal pet Sitter and we strongly recommend her to any cat parent. Our 14-year-old Bengal kitty was adopted as an adolescent from a shelter and had a really rough go of it. It left him uncomfortable around strangers or even extra people, and even after all this time he keeps his distance and does not trust easily. We comb through the list of qualified professionals on Rover and, after reading Briana‘s information, thought she might be the right person to work with our kitty. We arranged for a meet and greet to see if there was any hint of a connection and were absolutely floored when, within minutes of meeting her, he went up to her and allowed her to pet him! That clinched the deal. We arranged for Briana to come twice daily for feedings and to spend an hour each visit with him so that he would have some company while we were away, even if it he didn’t allow her to interact with him, just so he could have a human in the house. Our kitty has also been having IBS problems and to prevent a flareup there was a very specific way he needed to be fed, and we needed those directions followed exactly. He only “tossed” once while we were gone (this was fantastic), and Briana informed us and cleaned up the spot he left on our rug using the supplies we left just in case. We could see our kitty was doing well from the daily photos she sent with each visit along with her check-in response. You could honestly see from the expression on his face that she continued to build trust and strengthen that bond with him. His face relaxed over time and there were even moments where his eyes were closed in that comfortable, slow blink while she was petting him! That was something we didn’t believe could happen. We knew he was being well-cared for and it enabled us to enjoy our time away worry-free! When we came back home, our house looked just as we left it, and our kitty looked healthy, weight maintained, and he was extra chatty without yelling at us, which told the complete story. Briana‘s kindness, patience, and her innate understanding of the balance that cats need to receive affection and still have their space is exemplary. We’re not big travelers, but when we have an opportunity in the future, we know we’ll have zero worries because we will have Briana to help us. We are beyond impressed and again would recommend her for her warmth and understanding of cats. Cats know when you fake it…they only respond to genuine people. Our kitty is a tough customer when it comes to other people but Briana instantly began to earn his trust from the first moments they met. Briana is an exceptional cat person. Thank you, Briana. You’re amazing.”

About: Since middle school I have dog walked, house/pet sat, and cared for animals. it is my FAVORITE gig. The last 4 years I have cat-sat from January-April for a kitty who just this year moved south, so I have been missing the animal love. My family has always had cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for deaf dogs, dogs of every size, and cats for years. I have been told that when I leave a house sitting gig, the animals are very calm and relaxed when their parents arrive home. I am currently a full-time student doing an internship locally. I will have various availability but look forward to making sure I meet your scheduling needs! I travel occasionally on weekends as well. Nights and early mornings are my most accessible time. However you care for your animals at home I will do my best to do the same! Whatever they need and are allowed I am willing to work with (:

She’s always ready to help, even though sometimes I give short notice she always comes through. I still have 4 more trips this summer and I wouldn’t even think about booking anyone else.

About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own and would love to have the opportunity to take care of your furbaby during the day. I am a stay at home mom and have time during the day to meet your needs. I am happy to be given the opportunity to entertain your baby at your home while you are at work. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior pets. I also have experience with administering medications if needed since one of my own dogs has daily and monthly medication needs. I currently do not work and have time to visit or walk with your baby to give you a peace of mind while you are away. I will ensure they are walked and or cuddled as needed. Also will take care of them with instructions are given to me to make their visit pleasant.

About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve cared for all kinds of animal babies: cats, dogs, bunnies, reptiles, even birds. I even have 12+ years of working in the veterinary field, so I have the bonus of that knowledge and experience. Currently, I care for my own fur-family of cats, rabbits, and a ball python. I am very passionate for thorough and appropriate care for animal-babies, so they can have the best possible life. My specific area of passion and focus currently is for the kitties and bunnies, so I will be offering my pet-sitting services primarily for those fur-babies. If other kinds of pet-babies are in the household, I will evaluate that on a case-by-case basis. I am excited and ready to care for your kitty-babies and other kinds of fur-babies 😉 My typical schedule has me doing various things during the day (i.e. another job, personal furbaby care/quality time, other personal ventures). Thus, the best times for me to care for your fur-babies would be morning and night. I am not available for mid-day drop ins at this time. I am available for 2 drop-in visits (morning & night) per day per pet parent, 30 minutes to 1 hour per visit. I will update my availability/schedule if this changes in the future. Upon confirmation of booking, I require a “meet & greet” with NEW pet-babies and owners prior to the care dates. This will allow me to meet everyone, to make sure I’m a good fit for the fur-babies, and to familiarize myself with the family’s care and routine. My goal is for pet-parent(s) and pet-babies to feel as comfortable as possible, so this process will help me do just that. I also require that all cat and other fur-babies (when applicable) to be up to date on core vaccines and parasite control (flea/tick), as this will help keep everyone I care for outside and inside my home safe and healthy.

Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.

About: I have spent nearly my entire life surrounded by and caring for animals. My hands-on pet care journey started when I was just 8 years old when I got my first dog, and I welcomed my very first cat a year later at age 9. Over the last several years, I have successfully managed feeding schedules, playtime, and daily exercises for a wide variety of dog breeds and feline personalities.Currently, I am the proud pet parent of a beautiful chocolate British Shorthair, so I completely understand how important specific grooming, dietary routines, and environmental comforts are to keeping a pet happy. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk around the neighborhood or your cat requires a gentle, patient companion to check in on them, I provide trustworthy, dedicated care tailored entirely to your pet's unique personality and needs. - Full-Week Availability: I am available Monday through Sunday to care for your beloved cats. - Early Birds Welcome: Monday through Friday, my best times are early mornings before 7:00 AM. This is perfect for kitties who love an early breakfast or morning playtime! -Open Weekends: On Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule is completely open, and I am available at any time of day. - Dedicated Routines: Because my own daily routine already revolves around feeding, playing with, and caring for my kitten from the moment I wake up, I am always reliable and on time. - Earning Their Trust: I know that cats can be shy, but I have a gentle touch. My own 9-month-old kitten trusts me completely to brush her and clip her nails. - Experienced Family: My entire family owns both dogs and cats. I have spent years learning how to keep home environments completely safe, hazard-free, and secure for animals. - Home Security: When doing drop-in visits or house sitting, I double-check that all doors and windows are securely closed so your cat stays safely inside. - Peace of Mind: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, treats, and litter box cleaning. I will send you regular updates and photos so you know your cat is happy.

Kylie was hired again to take care of our babies, we are repeat customers of hers and we couldn’t be happier. Great flexibility, communication, and attentiveness. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

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.

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 .

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 , 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.
