“Stephanie took great care of our cat for 2 weeks during our trip. She was very attentive, carrying and pampered our cat. I am sure our cat is now best friends with Stephanie and will demand Stephanie back. Stephanie was very proactive and responsive in her communications, she kept the cat happy and helped with watering the plants and keeping his litter clean. A 5 star review for a 5 star cat caretaker!”
“Meghan was amazing with our cat! She was very attentive and our cat felt so comfortable around her. She went above and beyond to send detailed updates and tons of pictures. I highly recommend Meghan to care for your fur babies!!”
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“Kay did a nice job with drop in visits for Ted. She sent plenty of photos with her very detailed updates, and was always very responsive to messages. Will definitely use her services again.”
“It was pleasure to have Traci stay at my home! She made me feel really comfortable and followed all the Instructions given. She even looked after my Bonsai trees.”
“Kristina was punctual, communicated very well and took great care of our cats. This was our first time using Kristina‘s services. On a personal level, I found her to be very pleasant and friendly. She had no problem following any direction and everything went very well. The cats tend to hide when sitters come over so they didn’t have interaction, but their needs were very well taken care of and I would absolutely hire Kristina again!”
“François was great! He was responsive to my questions before I booked him & sent me daily updates about how Pye was settling in. He let me bring her cat tree as a bit of 'home' for her. I would definately use him as a sitter again if I ever needed one.”
“Isabella was wonderful - took amazing care of our (mischievous and energy-filled) cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely welcome her back to cat/house sit anytime!”
“Jordan cat sit for us again on a somewhat last minute basis and was again very responsive and thoughtful in her reports. We so appreciate the peace of mind we get when Jordan takes care of our three cats!”
“Audrey was great! She was very courteous and super pleasant, and we felt like Calliope was in very good hands. She was able to meet on very short notice for the meet and greet, asked all the right questions, and it is clear she loves pets and sees them as family members. When we got back from our trip away, Calliope was safe and sound and everything had gone right. We look forward to using her again.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals in my home and it was my responsibility to care for them in the mornings before school, change their litter boxes or take them for walks, and feed them. I am gentle and patient with rescue animals that need time to warm up to me. I work full-time, four 10 hour shifts per week, but am off Thursdays and every weekend. I can provide care before and after work, and any time on my days off. I create a calm, loving environment tailored to each cat’s needs. In your home, I maintain their routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and offer plenty of playtime and affection. I’m also experienced in administering medications and ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away!
“Christie was an angel with my temperamental cat. She took the time to get to know him and find the best ways to approach him and make him feel safe. I am endlessly grateful for the amazing care she provided while I was away!”
“Hannah is an amazing cat sitter. Cosmo (the cat) loves her and I can always count on Hannah to be on time and send detailed updates. I unexpectedly had to extend my trip and Hannah was so flexible and stayed on longer to make sure Cosmo was cared for!!”
“Lydia was fantastic! The cats loved her, even the one who doesn’t come out for my family members. She sent photos and updates on the cats daily. Completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Anna took a great care of my cat Ellie. She did everything I asked her to do and more! She swept the scattered litter around the house and also cleaned up after Ellie spit up her food. Anna was in contact with me and reachable at all times. She gave all the attention to my cat while I was away and cuddled and petted her so Ellie didn't feel alone. Anna was very flexible with the key drop off arrangements as well. Great job Anna! I will definitely be booking with Anna again whenever I need a pet sitter.”

Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit. She makes sure they always have what they need and are given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Caroline and will surely be going back to her whenever we need a sitter.
Stephanie is the absolute best. She gives the best care to our two boys, paying special attention to our shy one, and gives detailed updates with great pictures and videos. It's such a relief to know that, when we are gone, our guys will not just get food and water, they'll get all the love and pets they need. Thank you!
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!
Lauren filled in for me pretty last minute for a week of pet sitting my cat, and I am forever grateful she did! She did an excellent job keeping me informed and enticing my cat downstairs with treats. Thank you so much, Lauren, and I hope we can work together again!!
Taylor did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for our three cats over a holiday weekend. She handled food, litter, and medicine as we requested and gave us super thorough updates and cute photos! Made our travel so much easier to know our cats were in good hands :)
I’ve booked with Avery multiple times and she has always been great to work with! I had some last minute changes to my work travel, and she was able to extend the booking. She always sits with my kitties for a bit and gives them some company while I’m away, which I love! Highly recommend

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. 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 , 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 .

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.
