“This was our second time booking Danelle and she was great again! She was timely and kept Ivy entertained while we were away during the evening. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!”
“Kandice was a great pet sitter for our two cats. Her communication was phenomenal and you can tell she has a real heart for animals. It was our 1st experience with Kandice and we would definitely book her again! Highly recommend !!”
“Ashley was a fantastic sitter for Riggins and Renly! She was very communicative about when she would arrive and always provided helpful updates. Riggins clearly loved having her around — he was constantly demanding pets and attention from her, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt. I also really appreciated all the extra little things Ashley did, like bringing in the mail and packages and sending pictures of Riggins while I was away. Renly is very shy and kept his distance, but Ashley was patient and understanding with him as well. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were well cared for, and I would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Angie did an awesome job sitting my dogs when I was out for the evening. She took them outside to relieve themselves and fed them dinner. I really loved the photos and detailed report she sent- it made me feel very good about their safety and comfort while I was out. I will definitely be booking with Angie again in the future. Thanks, Angie!”
“Sandra has been so helpful with our puppy Howie as we both work in the office. Even had to make some special requests after Howie was neutered and Sandra handled it no problem! I know that Howie is in great hands with her! She is reliable and communicative. Thanks Sandra!”
“We were so happy to find Samantha to watch our 3 cats for a week recently. She was very professional, trustworthy, and friendly. She was great at communicating throughout the booking process, at our meet and greet, and while we were away. I felt very comfortable leaving our cats in her care. Each of our cats is on a different diet for medical reasons and she was very conscientious about their needs. We could tell from the daily photos she sent that the kitties loved her visits and the attention she gave them. We looked forward to her Rover Card updates everyday. We would not hesitate to recommend Samantha and will definitely call on her in the future. Thank you so much, Samantha!”
“First time using Rover, and was very nervous about having a stranger come into my home. From the met and greet, I could tell Jenifer is a true professional and takes her job seriously. Jenifer sent me photos of my cat every day. Pounce is extremely shy. I was very surprised that she came out for a “stranger”. By day two I knew I made a right decision by going with Rover and Jenifer to take care of Pounce. I will definitely use Rover again and Jenifer will be my person of choice! Thank you! Barb Roberts”
“Aly was able to support last minute and my pup loved her from first meeting! So sweet and clearly has love and care for fur babies. She checked in and sent pictures when popping in to let Jada out, which was so appreciated!”
About: I have had dogs and helped to care for them for my entire life. Including maintaining proper feeding schedule, walking and exercising dogs, playing with dogs, comforting dogs, etc… I frequently dogsit (including overnight stays) for my nephew puppy (Theo, mini bernedoodle), who is now 11 months old but have been helping with him since we was 2 months old. I will be getting my own mini dachshund puppy in August! :) I currently work full-time as a nanny. However, my schedule will be changing in August, as I will be opening my own coffee shop in September. With my current schedule, I would be available early mornings (before 7/8am usually) or evenings (after 4pm usually). I am wide open on weekends. In August, my schedule will remain the same, though I will also be wide open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In September, when the coffee shop opens I will be flexible Saturday-Monday and available after 2:30pm the rest of the week. In your home, I will always follow your established rules for your pet. I am comfortable using harness and leash, overseeing pets in a fenced in area, walking dogs, administering medications, feeding dogs, playing, etc.
About: Hello people of Rover! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, guinea pigs and a hamster. I’m still very passionate about animals. I have corgis and still keep guinea pigs at home. When I was younger, I volunteered at HAWS as a cat socializer and Elmbrook Humane Society as a small animal socializer and cage cleaner. I also used to pet sit for my neighbor’s cats and have cared for animals while family was on vacation. I’d love to connect, and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I can provide drop-in and walk service in the mornings, mid-day period and later evenings. I do pet sitting around a second shift job. I'm available all days of the week. We have 3 dogs at home, whom we provide with exercise, affection, high quality food and grooming care. We also keep guinea pigs, and I have had a hamster in the past. I used to live with and care for cats, as well as watching cats for neighbors.
About: I personally have had pets in my home for my entire life, including plenty of cats and dogs! I currently have two loving orange kitties. I was also a dog sitter for a teacher of mine for two years and took care of her two 200lbs Giant Schnauzers. I walked, fed, played with, and housesat for these dogs for many weekends over these two years. I am familiar with working with pets of all ages and needs. Two of my childhood dogs were adopted as seniors with special care needs, and one of my cats currently has a special diet and is very high energy. I will adapt to whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and happy! I am currently working part time mostly on night shifts, which leaves with with the day time open to hang out and take care of your pet! Safety is my number one priority, no matter what. I will always double check doors to make sure no one escaped, check that leashes are properly fastened, always keep an eye on what a pet might be chewing on— whatever it takes to keep them safe and happy!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age in my own home and have dog sat for several families as a teenager and adult. I like to play and walk dogs and take care of their needs. I do have experience with puppies. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and fish. I work from home, so I have some flexibility/availability during the morning and afternoon and am free in the evenings. I am also available most weekends. I love getting to know dogs and other pets. I will learn from the owners about their pets and observe their behaviors to see works best for them in our interactions.
About: Hi! My name is Marinda and I chose to be apart of Rover because I have always loved animals. I serve as a manager at a local veterinary hospital and have years of experience when it comes to dog watching. I’m hoping this is an opportunity I’ll be able to take care of others dogs! I have always enjoyed all types of dogs and seem to get along with them all as well. Hope to be able to be apart of your pets life! I am a full time employee who would love to have a second job but doesn’t have the time for it, so, I fill in my easy days with Rover! It’s easy to manage with my own hours! First and foremost I read about the pet and what the owners have to say about them. This will give me a good idea for what I am getting into when I enter the owners house. I will already know how the dogs are going to act and I will be prepared. I never leave the doors unlocked/open unless advised by the owner. I will do exactly what the owner has said to do. I will always double check a dog is secured with their leash when going outside, I will also be aware of the weather and how that might switch the dogs needs when going outside.

We are so happy to have Ashley to care for Butters! She goes above and beyond to communicate, and share updates while we are gone. He is a very active and social cat, Ashley ensures he gets the stimulation he needs while we are out of town. We have such peace of mind coming home to a well taken care of kitty!
Jen was great. I had her come by to check on our cats and take care of the autolitter boxes because my elderly Mom could not do that. She was completely understanding and did a great job. We're going out of town again this week and Jen will be back again. Thanks Jen!
Usually when I am gone, my cats get anxious, which lasts a few days after I return. This time, both cats were very laid back and chill, not at all clingy. The house was neat and tidy. (They usually knock things down to show their disapproval at my being gone.) Obviously, they felt at ease with Erica and she did a great job of taking care of them. She also brought in my newspaper and mail and left it neatly where I had asked.

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.

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 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.
