“Erin was great! Thank you so much for the many pics of Cheeto and Frito! Seeing how happy they were gave me such peace of mind. I could tell they were very well taken care of. Thanks, Erin for your services! Cheeto and Frito have a new friend. I will definitely call Erin again!”
About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.
About: I have over a decade of pet care experience, starting with looking after the animals of neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes, developing a particular knack for senior care and managing anxious animals. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I understand how crucial routine, patience, and a calm presence are for a pet's comfort. I am highly reliable, observant, and deeply committed to making sure your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you are away! work a steady professional schedule in social work during the day, which gives me an incredibly reliable routine. I am fully available for overnight house sitting, dedicated weekend care, and evening drop-in visits or walks. Because my routine is consistent, you can trust that I will keep your pet’s feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules perfectly on track. I make it a priority to provide focused attention and plenty of companionship during my off-work hours. I understand how stressful it can be to leave an anxious or sensitive animal behind, so I strictly adhere to your specific care instructions, medication schedules, and security preferences. My goal is to maintain your home's quiet environment and provide a comforting, low-stress routine. You can expect thorough communication, regular photo updates, and a respectful, careful presence in your home.
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I've been taking care of pets for about 10+ years now. I've had cats my whole life and have had dogs for 4 years now. I worked as a veterinary technician for 4 years as well. I can bathe, walk, feed, give medicine to almost all pets! I moved from California to Michigan and would love to get to know more of your fur babies! I am currently walking from home and almost always need a break. Therefore, spending time with more animals is always a big relaxer for me! I love my fur babies more than anything. Their needs always come first. Therefore, I will put your babies needs first as well. I can play with them, take them out, and do almost everything possible to make sure they have a stress free time with me.
“This is my second time booking Season to watch our two cats. She was just as amazing the second time as she was the first! Very communicative and always timely. So responsible and dependable. I love having Season over while we are away because I do not worry ONE BIT about a thing! She was also kind enough to grab our mail since my parents were unable to do so. Thank you Season, I will contact again next time we plan a trip!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and have managed horse barns, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, medications, cleaning, handling multiple animals, and making sure everyone is safe and well cared for. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and getting to know each animal’s individual personality can be. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also a runner, so I’d be happy to run with an energetic dog who enjoys getting some extra exercise! I currently work part-time Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings while attending graduate school online. This gives me flexible availability throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits, particularly weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m able to work with individual pet routines and can often accommodate visits outside of my regular schedule with advance notice. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine during every visit. I’m experienced with animals and comfortable following specific feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pets with respect, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I enjoy spending time getting to know each dogs personality as they are all different. I feel it is very important to get dogs out into the fresh air for some play time. I walked 3 dogs for my neighbors for 5 years, and watched their dogs at their homes while they were away on vacation. I work part with flexible hours. I can also work from home. We have a rescue dog that comes to our office that I enjoy. I like learning as much as I can about a pets personality and temperament prior to walking and watching them. Each dog is unique and requires my understanding of them.
About: Ive been caring for cats and dogs all of my life. My first job was at a vet office. I have pet sat for family and friends and I'm ready to care for your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom of two boys who also love pets. They are gentle and kind to animals. I am flexible for nights and weekends or drop in visits. I have a large fenced in private backyard for your pup to run off some steam and do their business. My first floor is designed for easy clean ups in case of accidents.
“Charles went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well loved and taken care of, spending extra time with them and coming up with creative ways to keep them comfortable while we were away. My dog has anxiety and he was so good with her, I knew I didn't have to worry because both my dog and cat were in amazing hands! He made sure to keep up with cleaning any messes along the way, and overall was very attentive. We will absolutely be using Charles as our pet sitter in the future!”
“Rebecca was great with our senior cats. She gave them lots of love and attention and was able to administer medicine. The furry ladies said they’d have her back to visit anytime:)”

I have 2 cats that live at my apartment with me, I feed them, play with them and clean their litter boxes with frequency! I love taking care of cats 🤍
About: I've been raised around animals my entire life from cats, dogs, and birds. My family has always had pets since I can remember, so I've become very comfortable in caring for them and have plenty of knowledge in animal care. Additionally, I would look after my neighbors dogs and cats when they were out of town or unavailable. I am familiar with routine potty breaks, feeding, play time, and practicing commands. I am a full-time employee at Emory Winship Cancer Institute so I will be in-person during the day Monday-Friday. However, I could manage mid-day walks for pets nearby as well as early morning walks. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends! I live in an apartment with a roommate, so I would prefer to do stays longer than one day at the owner’s home. I’m next to a park, however, so short-term stays are welcomed and pet friendly!
“This was our first experience with a Rover drop-in sitter for our senior cat and Kyla put us at ease! She sent lots of photos with each visit and even a couple videos. Hendrix was a happy cat when we got home and Kyla took care to lock up and even grab the mail and a package for us. We look forward to utilizing her services again!”
About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I have a passion for working with all animals. I have experience with both dogs, puppies, and cats as well as other pets.

Monday/Wednesday I am available early morning from 7-8 AM as well! I prefer to stick to yours and your pets schedule. Routine is very important to me as well as my own animals.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
My husband and I have had several cat sitters for our very loved cat. Kristy is by FAR the best we have ever had. She is warm and caring, reporting any differences she sees in Tully’s behavior and eating habits—and gives him the best ear rubs and cuddles. Our sweet boy loves her. We leave him in Kristy’s care with peace in our hearts. Kristy is exceptional.
Our experience with having Ashley watch our cats while we were on our honeymoon, was nothing short of perfect. She made sure to ask questions about our little guys, including their preferences, their favorite toys and ways to best interact with them, and what really made us feel like she was the right choice, was she made it a priority to do whatever she could to ensure we felt comfortable. She knew our little guy Ralphie, (a very sensitive and socially needy pandemic kitten) was a concern for us when we were gone, because he really needs lots of love and attention, and she sent daily updates along with photos of both boys, and videos of playtime. We felt so at ease knowing she was there with them, and focusing on doing whatever they needed, and it really gave us the opportunity to relax, knowing our little guys were happy at home. We cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% reach out to Ashley the next time we need to go out of town. She was an absolute delight and we are so grateful to have found her!

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 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.

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 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.
