“She was amazing! We have notoriously skittish cats who don’t like strangers, but they all loved Elizabeth. We will absolutely be hiring again for our next short trip!”
“Very responsive and provided great updates. This was my first time on Rover and they were great about getting me started. Definitely will use them again when I need it.”
“Alina did an amazing job with Amani. She was patient, attentive, and spent quality time playing with her, which really helped because Amani is usually very energetic. Amani ended up completely relaxed, calm, and exhausted from all the playtime. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the level of care provided. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Louise has been absolutely exceptional with Amani. She is caring, reliable, patient, and truly goes above and beyond. Amani is always happy, playful, and comfortable around her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate the attention, care, and energy she puts into every visit. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats Amani like her own. I highly recommend Louise to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pet.”
“Bianca truly went above and beyond to take care of my two kitties, she sent me daily photos and updates and even scrubbed my carpet when one of them threw up. I would 1000% book again, she did an amazing job! <3”
About: I want your pet to feel like they're with a friend, so I go out of my way to build their trust and ensure they have a positive experience. Though not currently a pet owner, I've had several pets throughout my life and have volunteered for both the Humane Society and a wildlife hospital, where I gained experience with administering care and medicine to animals. I'm semi-retired, so have the time and flexibility to do things that I love-and one of the things I love most is spending time with animals! I take extra care with pets to "meet them where they are," which means paying attention to their cues and adjusting my approach to ensure they feel safe. My goal is to build their trust and make sure they feel safe and cared for.
About: I grew up with dogs and had my own dog for 14 years. Dogs are the most wonderful and compassionate beings and I love being around them. Whenever I traveled out town or needed to be away from home for a long day, it was of utmost importance my dog stayed with someone who would care for and love him the way he was accustomed to. It helped me feel more relaxed knowing he was in good hands. I’d like to provide that peace of mind for others. Your dog will bring great loving hands and treated with love and affection so you can have peace of mind away while you’re away from home. Dogs give so much love and deserve all the love we can give :) I currently work full time from home and will be able to give your pet lots of love. They will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. My home is your pets home. They are allowed on the furniture and will get fun walks and lot and lots of pets from me!
About: I’ve had a love for animals my whole life, I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born and currently have 5 pets at home! (2 dogs 3 cats) I have been house sitting my pets for a few years while my parents go out of town, and have also helped a few family friends with their pets. I have dealt with untrained dogs, high maintenance dogs, seniors, puppies, and urinary issues. I’m currently working part-time from 5-9pm. Before then, I will have all day to tend to your pets and let them out for some exercise and potty breaks. When I do run errands, I am never gone for more than 3 hours at a time. For dog walking, I am able to walk however far your dog needs to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. For sitting, I will make sure your pet gets let out for potty breaks and the proper amount of care during the day, whether it is a walk or a small training exercise. For drop in visits, I will tend to whatever your pet needs during that visit.
“Stellar!!!! The fluffballs love her! Thank you for taking care of those two again. Muffin is generally shy around people, but she came right out for you! I have a hard time leaving them, but I knew from previous experience that Adriana was the sitter I wanted. Flexibility, on time, attention to details, the photos and communication are why I was hoping she had availability. Thank you again. Happy Cats, Happy Life!”
“Olivia was a fantastic and very appreciated resource to watch my cat Otto during a recent multi-day drop in visit that was needed. She provided lots of attention and love to Otto giving everything I wished for him while I was gone including lots of playtime, feeding supplements, sharing pictures and all the cuddles. I hope to absolutely use her again for the next time I will be out of town and need someone to drop-in.”
“Taking care of pets is a labor of love for Maddy. She would probably do this for free. And that's exactly the kind of passion you want in a pet sitter. She went above and beyond the call of duty always spending more time then required. She played fetch with my dog, let her play in the creek and then even gave her a bath using her own soap and towel! She's a true animal lover and even feed the stray cats during her visit.”
“Lucinda provided my puppy, Chaco, the best care while I getting settled into my new job. She insured Chaco was given lots of attention and love. And took the time to leave the best report cards ever! She was very responsive and always on time. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the near future.”
About: Hiya! I’m a newer resident of the Portland area with a longtime background of caring for pets of friends and family hoping to fill a need in you and your pet’s lives. I love going on longer walks/excursions with dogs but also love just spending time in the neighborhood. I’m currently a part time post grad student looking to do some pet care during the day on weekdays, I can do weekends but mostly I’m looking for people wanting and needing pet time during their day to day work schedules when they can’t get home. I’m hoping to be as seamless into your life and schedule as possible. That means being in your house minimally, keeping you updated on times but not too buggy, keeping pets watered, and being in and out.
“Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Michelle was amazing and so attentive to our kitties! She gave us wonderful updates (pics/videos) the entire time and was very kind. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a kind, helpful, and professional person to take care of their cats while they are away!”
“Amazing cat sitter! Had to book with her again as she did such a good job taking care of my two cats. Loved her timely drop-ins and pictures/updates I got while I was away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me! But feel free to reach out about availability as my schedule fluctuates often. I have a small fenced yard with space for your pup to potty and run. I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.

Candice does a wonderful job caring for my cats. I always know my boys are in good hands with her and can rest easy that she will care for them like her own. Even after a long 2 week trip I came home to a clean home and happy cats. Thank you Candice for your attention to detail and kindness!
Louise has been absolutely exceptional with Amani. She is caring, reliable, patient, and truly goes above and beyond. Amani is always happy, playful, and comfortable around her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate the attention, care, and energy she puts into every visit. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats Amani like her own. I highly recommend Louise to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing to care for their pet.
This is my second time using Adriana for drop-in visits for my two kittens, and once again everything went smoothly! Adriana is super reliable and communicative, and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. I could tell they were happy and well cared for, and I’m so glad to have found someone that I can trust in my home and with my babies!
Rylee was great with our anxious cat, they were best friends by day 3. She ensured he got his required medications on time, and was great about communicating with us so we felt like we knew he was being well taken care of. Will definitely hire again in the future.
Michelle was amazing and so attentive to our kitties! She gave us wonderful updates (pics/videos) the entire time and was very kind. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a kind, helpful, and professional person to take care of their cats while they are away!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
