“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.”
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”
“Natasha's great! Good communication, always on time, easy to work with. My cat was under the weather the day I had to travel and Natasha took good care of her and kept me updated until I could get back home. Thanks so much!”
About: I have experience caring for a Labrador and understand the importance of patience, exercise, and daily care. I’m happy to provide dog walking, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and loving companionship. I’m responsible, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I offer flexible scheduling for dog walking and drop-in visits. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and keep you updated throughout each visit. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet has fresh water. I will treat your home with respect and send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Hello! I live in Watertown. I enjoy dog walking and pet drop-ins for pure joy. If you book with me, seeing your pet will be a highlight of my day. You can count on me when it comes to communication with you and love for your baby. I bring toys and treats, and can work with shy furry friends. Please note - for dog owners seeking walks or drop ins for going out of town I will need the full schedule of when the pet will be let out in the event I am not covering all potty breaks. Will only take visits where the dog has care every 8 hours at minimum. I work full time from home in HR in Watertown. I want to schedule walks before or after work! Seeing pups brings me immense joy! When entering a clients home I will treat the area with care, make sure to lock up, check for water for the animal. I will do my best to find an appropriate outdoor/garage trash for the waste as well.
About: Here to help animals get those hard to reach itchy spots. I love all animals and enjoy the different types of attitudes and demeanors each one brings. I have had many pets and worked in shelters before so Ive seen animals in all their forms. I work at the office Monday thru Friday 8-4. I however have a lot of flexibility with those hours and location depending on the type of care being sought. I follow the rules and guidance of the owner as closely as possible. They know their pet and how to most safely and compassionately care for them.
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!
“We were so nervous to have someone do a fluid infusion for our elderly kitty Zoey, but Tessa was excellent! She seamlessly coordinated with our regular sitter while we were away on vacation and provided a calm and safe experience for Zoey, who can be quite challenging! We are so grateful for Tessa’s expertise and would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: As a god owner myself I understand what it takes to have a happy, content and healthy pet. Trusted care tailored to every pet’s needs. I am currently working part time and available some days during the week as well as on most of weekends. Happy to do drop ins. I provide loving, attractive care, following routines, administrating medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, happy and comfortable.I treat every pet with patience, love and respect.
“Sydney took great care of our 3 cats! She followed all of the care instructions that we gave her and the girls felt very comfortable with her. We will definitely book Sydney again!”
“Shan is amazing. She is super communicative and commits to playtime with my cat to get his energy out. She even figured out how to get him to play with toys that I had previously failed with! She sends pics every visit and lets me know how he is doing, mood, etc. and you can tell she really cares about his well being. I will 100% continue to book with Shan in the future!”
“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!!”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, from energetic Huskies and Labs to smaller breeds like Havanese, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I'm experienced caring for multiple pets at once and am confident managing busy households. While babysitting, I've often cared for children and dogs together, which has taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and calm in any situation. I’ve helped care for my mom's Husky with two torn ACLs, giving me experience with pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and special attention. I'm comfortable administering medications, treating ear infections, and following detailed care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. I've also lived with cats throughout college, where my roommate had two cats, and I'm now the go-to pet sitter for both of my brothers' two-cat households. I'm just as comfortable caring for cats as I am with dogs. I'm an active person who does long walks everyday and I'd love to have a furry friend join me for walks and adventures. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I work remotely on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, when I'm in the office, I'm available for early morning and evening walks or visits. My weekends are wide open, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, overnight stays, and lots of quality time with your pets! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care instructions. During walks, I stay alert, keep dogs securely leashed, and avoid unsafe situations or extreme weather. At home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs.
“Olivia left thoughtful and detailed messages during her visits with my cat, which helped put me at ease when I was away from her for the first time. I had no idea my cat would hiss, and Olivia managed to handle it well. She even got toys out for JoJo when I forgot to put them out.”
“Daniella was awesome with our cat Zara. She was available on short notice to drop in a few times while we were away for the holidays, and did a great job with her care. We appreciated the updates and photos that she sent from each visit. Definitely would hire her again!”
“Paige was so great with our temperamental, somewhat of a diva (but huge loveball) of a cat, Maya. She was willing to come over beforehand so they could meet, and so I could show her where everything was. This included Maya’s insulin and everything that goes with, since she’s diabetic. This was the biggest thing for us - we wanted someone experienced with giving insulin to cats, and who can be comforting to Maya, because she can sometimes get scared with strangers. Paige was all of this and more. Maya got her insulin every time (with a previous sitter, doses often had to be skipped because Maya got so scared), and we got wonderful, detailed updates of each visit. Maya seemed very happy and comfortable, and there’s nothing more you can ask for when you’re a pet parent away from your fur babies, right? Paige was also flexible when my dates weren’t completely set in stone. We’ll definitely be asking for Paige’s services again in the near future. Thanks, Paige!”

Stephanie has taken amazing care of our three cats on multiple occasions, including throughout a long 2 week trip. She is a great communicator, very thorough and consistent in her updates, and genuinely cares about the cats! We love having Stephanie as our sitter and you will too.
Myanne was so great with my cat and such a caring and thorough pet-sitter! She is a cat owner’s dream. I felt so secure knowing that Shama was in her hands. She was prompt, communicative, responsible. Myanne played a lot with Shama which was so reassuring to me. I came home to a happy and well-cared for cat and would recommend her to watch your pet in a heartbeat.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
