“Cassie loves Amanda - she’s always happy to see her and has a good walk and play session! It’s nice to have Amanda take her for walks and such - Cassie gets bored with mama 😍”
“Marc continues to provide excellent care and a good time for my dogs during their ‘play dates’ with him. They have fun and expend lots of excess energy! I know I can depend on Marc and best of all, that I can trust him with my pets.”
“Lynn was a great sitter with my golden retriever. Lynn was very flexible as i needed to add an additional visit each day. Lynn sent photos and my dog received lots of petting and attention. I will definitely use her again.”
“Our two dogs always look forward for Keeley and Ethen’s visits! We particularly appreciate how responsive and accommodating Keeley and Ethen are. Most recently, our return flight got cancelled. We didn’t have a visit scheduled for that day but we shot Keeley a note and she was there first thing in the morning to take care of our furry babies. It meant a lot to us.”
About: Growing up, my grandma always had a dog, and my family has had a number of dogs throughout the years. The dogs that my family has had ranges from small dogs (<20 lbs) to now two bigger dogs (~80 lbs). I am used to dogs of all kinds of temperaments, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart! I currently am working part-time, so I can fit in pet care around the days that I do not work. In addition, my schedule is very flexible, especially with drop-in visits. I make sure to update my availability regularly, as well! I’m more than happy to go along with your guidelines on house/ pet sitting. I make sure that I read the guidelines very carefully and will contact you if I have any further questions. I live at home with my mom, so pet care in my home is off the table unfortunately.
“Sophie is our go too when we are out of town. She is great at communicating and flexible. Always keeps the house tidy and follows instructions to a tee! Dependable and prompt! Birdie and Pickles.”
“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time
“I've never hired anyone to look after the cats before. I've always relied on my elderly mother to take care of them while I'm away. The thought of having a stranger in my home while I'm gone made me feel uncomfortable but I wanted piece of mind in knowing that if mom faced any health concerns that the cats would still get care until I return home. Melissa was at the top of the list, on Rover, for people in my area so I read the reviews left by her past clients and decided that she was worth a gamble. Before I went out of town, she came out to meet us and I showed her around the house. She was present at all the times we agreed on and sent a daily note and pictures of them when she could. (They used to be feral and love to hide from strangers.) I hope Melissa is available the next time I go out of town. I'm thoroughly pleased with her service and hope this review helps her to get more clients that may have a situation similar to mine.”
About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.
“Darcy isn’t just amazing with my dog but she’s an amazing person as well. I am always a nervous mama leaving my baby behind when I go places but Darcy’s communication and all her pictures made me feel at ease because I knew she was in good hands. Couldn’t recommend her enough??”

Pet care fits into my routine by scheduling time for feeding, walks, and visits. I stay organized with my full-time job and flexible to ensure each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, water, walks, and play. I follow owner instructions, give care and attention, and keep the home clean as possible.
“So delighted to meet Jeri and experience her incredible care for our cats during our recent trip. Jeri was so easy to work with and we knew instantly she would not only become our “go to” for future drop in visits. We had no worries upon departure knowing Jeri was in charge. One of our cats normally hides but with Jeri, there was no hesitation. We HIGHLY recommend Jeri! Five stars for sure!!! Thanks Jeri!!”

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
