“Eric was reliable, flexible, thorough, patient and kind. The daily communications and photos were very comforting for me. He went above and beyond expectations. Very grateful. Would gladly use him again.”
About: I have experience training puppies, bathing, grooming, and taking care of older pets with medical conditions. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and aquatic friends. I currently work part-time and I’m studying for the MCAT with plenty of time to look after your pets and housesit. I only work a few hours a week in after school care, so I can dedicate most of my time to ensuring your pets are well taken care of. I understand separation anxiety while you’re away may affect some pets more than others. Keeping them comfortable at home would prevent adding on more stress to your pet and you. Thus, I would prefer to stay overnight and pick up where you left off with their routine. I’m very calm, reliable, know how to handle emergency situations, and I’m an animal whisperer :)
“Jeanne was superb once again. She genuinely cares for our cat. She is reliable, professional and a great communicator. Highly recommended! We hope she can return for us again this summer.”
“Colette did a great job taking care of my cat Cooper. He warmed up to her and she was able to give him his medicine (which isn’t always an easy feat). She’s vey dependable and responsible. Would highly recommend her.”
“Janet is so helpful! My cat is a bottle raise rescue, so she is fairly social with humans and gets grumpy if I am gone for more than a day or so. She is happy not grumpy when I return home after her visits with Janet.”
“Rhonda took great care of our cat. She kept her food and water bowls clean, and kept the litter box area clean also, Plus, she and our cat seemed to enjoy one another's company. This made us happy, because our cat is a social, loving creature, and she would have been lonely without Rhonda.”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I've developed a deep love and understanding for pets from an early age — a bond that has grown into over 15 years of hands-on care. That lifelong passion has become genuine expertise, including specialized experience with senior dogs, who require extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness as they navigate mobility changes and shifting routines. Also well-versed in administering medication for pets with ongoing health needs, managing everything from daily pills to more complex treatment schedules with a calm, reassuring approach. Whether caring for a senior dog, a pet with a chronic condition, or simply a furry friend in need of a loving caretaker, I always bring the same compassion and responsibility built from a lifetime around animals. I'm always available for your pet's needs — whether it's a quick question, a last-minute schedule change, or an update while you're away, you can reach me anytime and I'll respond as soon as I can. Your pet's comfort and safety come first, and I want you to feel confident that help is always just a message or call away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, since staying in a familiar environment is far less stressful than being boarded somewhere new — they keep their usual routines, smells, and safe spaces, which is especially helpful for shy or anxious pets. This familiarity leads to a calmer, happier experience overall. If your pet goes outside, I always accompany them to ensure their safety and keep a close eye out for any hazards
“Alexandra was wonderful! She was very attentive and communicative and was flexible when my little guy needed to start a medication at the last minute. Would definitely ask her again!”
“Roshanak is the most lovely human. She gave great care to King Arthur, treating him like the king he is. I was away for 10 days and she gave King Arthur lots of attention, lots of cuddles, talking to him. He's a demanding kitty and he had never spent time with anyone else but me. I was nervous how he handled HIS vacation but Roshanak made him completely comfortable. She sent me status photos and videos to assure me he was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Roshanak as a pet sitter. Her home can be wonderful refuge for kitties and doggies.”
“I can’t recommend Yajahyra enough! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away—thoughtful, reliable, and clearly a true animal lover. She sent regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and a spotless space. Truly the best experience I’ve had with a sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds since age 15. I previously volunteered in the dog training school at the Humane Society in Minnesota, training puppies through adult dogs in basic skills. I have owned two large breed dogs into their senior years and currently have a pandemic pup who is now 6 years old. I will walk short and slow walks or energetic and longer walks as needed! I’m recently retired and have plenty of time now to help fellow dog owners with busy schedules keep their dogs exercised and happy. I walk daily and would love to have your pup join me. I have a smaller fenced yard and a 55 lb pup of my own. Most of her exercise is walking out in the neighborhood and if the dogs are good together we can all walk as a group. We previously had a second dog, a St Bernard, so our current pup is used to walking with other dogs.
“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”
About: Dogs have always felt like family to me. I grew up with them, caring for, training, and learning that dogs need more than just supervision. They need patience, structure, and a home where they feel safe. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day to give your dog steady walks, companionship, and attention. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs structure or anxious and needs patience, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, treat them like my own, and keep you updated so you always know they’re in good hands. I work remotely, so caring for dogs fits very naturally into my day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get regular attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I'm available most days – even holidays! Just let me know what dates you're interested in booking and I'll do my best to accommodate your pup into my schedule. I keep my home clean, calm, and safe so dogs can settle in and feel comfortable while they’re here. I know every dog has their own routine, so I follow your instructions closely, including meals, walks, crate time, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I’m comfortable with crate training when needed, and I always make safety the priority, both at home and on walks. I’ll also send regular updates so you can relax and know your dog is happy, cared for, and doing well.
About: From reptiles to rodents and four legged creatures, I cared for multiple animals that I think I considers myself Snow White…All jokes aside I truly adore animals and have nurtured them with all my love and patience. Although I am a college student ! My availability is open to any precious creature who needs care or even some attention for pet parents who aren’t able too, I am more than happy to provide that for the pet and the owner. It all depends on the clients needs, I’m able to adjust to any changes or specific requirements. Of course, if there is any concerns for the pets safety I would be willing to make accommodations in order to ensure their safety.
About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits for neighbors and friends since I was 10. I grew up with dogs, and loved helping train them. I have found great success with force free training! I am a student, so I have time during the week for dog walks and at home check ins! I may have occasional weekend availability as well, but will be able to help out most on weekdays. I don’t offer care for pets at my home, but I am happy to work with whatever requests you have. I am very flexible and happy to accommodate specific rules if needed, I know every pet has their own quirks :)

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Jeanne was an incredible cat sitter for our two elderly kitties with complicated medical needs. She cared for us as well, in that her thorough updates after each visit put our worried cat parent minds at ease. We recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely rehire.
Olivia was wonderful! I could tell right away that she took great care of my boys and kept everything so clean. I know my cats can make quite a mess around their food and litter every day, so coming home to those areas spotless was such a nice surprise! She was very punctual, and I loved receiving their little daily report cards and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely hire Olivia again!
Rhonda took great care of our cat. She kept her food and water bowls clean, and kept the litter box area clean also, Plus, she and our cat seemed to enjoy one another's company. This made us happy, because our cat is a social, loving creature, and she would have been lonely without Rhonda.
We will absolutely use Lacy in the future. She was great at sending pictures and communication while we were away. She was always on time and provided that extra love and attention needed while we were gone. You would be lucky to have Lacy take care of your pets.
Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!
If you on the hunt for a sitter but you’re apprehensive because you want to find someone who authentically enjoys your pets as much as you do, goes the extra mile at every visit and is someone you can place your full trust in with your pets and in your home when you’re away, Paris is that person. I cannot recommend her highly 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .

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.
