“Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.”
“My seconding time booking Deborah and she’s great! Follows the routine. And plays and loves on your pet! The first thing she said to me once I rebooked with her was “I’m so excited to see her again.” which is something very heartwarming to see when you’re leaving your pet to be taken care of by someone.”

My cats also, like her. Thanks to Erica! I was able to get through a knee replacement. Hmmm, I might have to get her for my other knee. To continue!”
“I'm very thankful for Katie, she was able to watch our 18 year old senior kitty on two occasions while we were away. She kept us updated through the app and sent pics of him after each visit. She was also able to give him his insulin and other medication, which was amazing and helped put us at ease. Overall, she was great and I would highly recommend her!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She checked in with my two boys (Mr.Bean and Franklin) on time each day and provided me with updates. I knew they were safe and extremely well taken care of while I was out of town. Stephanie was timely, communicative, friendly, and followed their feeding instructions without missing a beat! I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have a great, rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever named Cobie, and previously had another wonderful, loving Golden Retriever named Max, who we cared for well into his old age--17! I have taken care of dogs for friends and family all throughout my life, and always shower them with all the love in the world! I am currently in graduate school, but I am available for late afternoons or evenings and nights during the week, and anytime during the weekend! I always ensure safety of the dog and the home, whether that be crates, blocking off parts of the house, and following set rules and routines. Just as important is love and gentleness, doing my best to build a dog's trust.
“Our kitties are in amazing hands when Priscilla cares for them. I love getting the report cards and photos. We are so comfortable when we go away, knowing that our home and boys are safe.”
“Amazing pet sitting while I was away. I was updated daily about my cat and sent the cutest pictures ever! I use Theresa for drop in visits too for my pup. She is amaz8ng and very caring.”
“Hunter was great with my not-so-friendly cat. She was very punctual with her visits and sent great updates with pics of my cat. She even came during a snowstorm! Would definitely work with Hunter again and highly recommend her for reliable, caring pet sitting. Thanks Hunter!”
About: I’ve had pets of all kind since the age of 4 and taken love for them since. I’ve had about 5 dogs, 4 birds 3 red ear slider turtles, multiple fishes and 1 cat throughout. I work full time as a properties manager. But in my spare time I would like to walk some dog as i truest enjoy walks, sitting and a fun time. I would care for your pest as if they were my own(of course respecting all your standards). Communication is key as I would like all expectations to be met and transparency across. To be trusted with a love one is a responsibility I take very seriously
About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waterbury
Stephanie was amazing with my kitties! I have two cats with varying medical needs, and Stephanie rose to the challenge with no issues. She adapted to deal with my hard-to-pill fussy cat, and had no reservations about caring for our senior kitty with incontinence issues. She was always prompt and communicative. I was able to have a relaxing long weekend away thanks to her.
Maylynn was so sweet but most of all I loved how my boys reacted to her. It let me know that she is a good person and that my cats were in good hands while I was away. She was on time for both drop in’s and even made sure to give them some playtime. I’ll definitely be using Maylynn again and recommend her to everyone.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
