“As always Kristen did a great job with the cats! Litter boxes are cleaned and in good shape, and the Cats seem very happy to see her. Kristen also does a great job with communication with us. She gives us a good peace of mind when we go out of town that the cats are in good hands.”
“Syd was absolutely phenomenal with our 2 dogs. One is very energetic and walks well on-leash, the other is older and just loves-love. Myself and both pups were very happy with her services.”
“This is the first time using Rover and Cassidy was wonderful at calming out nerves. She came and did a meet and greet with our fur babies last week and was right on time for both drop in visits and gave wonderful updates and pics of both. I will definitely be requesting Cassidy for additional drop ins in the future!”
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 3 years old. Cats, dogs, birds, ferrets gerbils and as an adult horses cows chickens although I'm assuming you're not going to be dropping off any of those I am pretty much home anytime and available to watch animals day or night. I am self employed as a farmer during the summer but off during the wonter I have a newly updated 100-year-old home with two rooms that kitties can stay in if they are shy and don't play well with other cats. Dogs I keep with me at all times. I

“Thank you so much for making sure Bubz gets out to poop and pee! We are so thankful to have found you. He instantly fell in love with Julia. We would recommend her to anyone we know.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a while now, I’ve always had the en in my home. I have a two cats just in my apartment but two big dogs at home with my parents. I’ve gone over to houses to take care of dogs and cats and even a pigeon. Im nineteen and in college. I promise to respect your environment, rules, and your home, thank you! I’m currently working part time, Monday, Tuesday, and sundays usually work best for me, but if you have something outside of that time frame please reach out and we might be able to figure something out! I promise to respect your home and your rules, everything that you ask for I will get done! If we could talk about the details of your animals and what they need that would be amazing!
“Jesika went above and beyond for our Abby Lou. In the past, if someone struggled to give Abby her medicine, they would give up and say sorry there’s nothing I can do and we’d be struggling to find a last minute sitter while already out of town but not Jesika! She went home and literally cooked a meal to mix her meds in with. 😊 Your pets are in good hands here. 🐾”
“Haley was superb as a pet visitor. She arrived everyday at the appropriate time as requested by us. Took photos of our beloved kitty and fed and looked after Mary, our semi-feral cat. It's amazing she was able to get the photos since Mary is so skittish, but she did and we loved seeing them while we were away. Haley was as nice in person as she was responsible and punctual. We highly recommend her and hope she is available next time we need a pet visitor!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over a decade and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My services include dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to caring for pets for family, friends, and clients, I recently provided ongoing care for a dog twice a week over several months. I’ve worked with both small and large dogs, as well as a variety of cats, and have experience handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. As a former cat foster, I’m especially attentive to each animal’s individual needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a full time online student, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most needs. Just let me know what’s best for you! I will ensure to follow all instructions given whether that’s food restrictions, crating your dog, being outside or playing for x amount of minutes etc.

Colleen was amazing to work with and the kitties (even the shy one!) came out and got love and treats daily. Her pics were awesome! I was out of the country and trusted that she’d take the best care of them and I was not disappointed. Will 100% use her again— I know the cats will be happy to see 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 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.
