“Jill did an amazing job caring for our two cats and keeping us updated daily with photos and texts. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others!”
“Alli was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and would be honored to have her as our rover again! :)”
“You did an amazing job! We loved your updates and felt very secure knowing you were around to take care of Poppy. We thought it was really cute how you’d shape her food for her. Thank you so much!”
“Kelsey was a delight, very communicative, overall a very easy person to work with. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. We hired her for several drop-ins while I was out of town and she and my dog so clearly had a great time with each other. Such a gem!”
“Danielle was attentive, always in contact, and did her due diligence in dealing with my reactive dog. I could not have asked for a better sitter while I was gone for family reasons. If she’d be willing I’d definitely book her again!”
About: I've had cats since I was a child. Neighbors, roommates, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of pets when they are gone. This has included feeding at a specific time in a specific way and at times giving medication. With a former roommate, I also found and rescued a young female cat during law school, and she turned out to be pregnant. We bathed and brushed her several times to get rid of fleas, got her spayed after pregnancy, and rehomed the kittens. I've had my own cat for a few years now, and I understand needing to maintain their routine and monitoring diet to address issues such as regurgitation of food due to poor city water quality or eating too fast or sensitive stomach issues. I am an attorney and can visit the cats in the mornings and evenings and during the weekend at regular times and ensure they receive love and playtime. I do not care for pets in my home, as my apartment is too small and my cat is more of an only child. However, I am very much able to spend at least a couple hours each day with my clients' cat(s) to feed them, maintain cleanliness of their spaces, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them pets as each cat prefers.
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
“Lindsay was very communicative during her visits, sending updates and pictures of our kitties with all the needed information. She was great to work with and gave our pets good attention and care! It was wonderful to have peace of mind while we were out of town, especially given one of our cats has diabetes and needs medicine twice a day. We are very grateful!”
“Jenna was awesome! Really helped me out with a short notice need. Dropped in to visit with my silly border collie. Followed instructions and communicated perfectly and sent great pictures!”
“Kayleah is great! She helped us out last minute and was so efficient with communication during our time away. Our cat is also very particular about strangers and she did a great job taking care of him. We will continue to book her if we ever need someone to take care of our little fur babies while we’re gone.”
“Andrea was great. She arranged meetings free of charge to see if everything was a good fit before we committed. She often sent pictures to us to let us know our puppy was well taken care of. She also gave us many tips that were well appreciated as first-time puppy owners. Your pooch will be in great hands if you go with Andrea.”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals and having them around has always been a normal part of my day-to-day life. I’m comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and way of feeling comfortable. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention throughout the day, keep up with regular walks and feeding schedules, and spend time with pets rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather relax nearby while I work, I’m happy to adapt to what they’re used to at home. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting, and my priority is making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your normal routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and can provide regular walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I want pets to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household routines, and I’m happy to accommodate crates or other routines your pet is used to. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Blake is a great sitter! He’s punctual and professional, but, most of all, he obviously cares for dogs. He did a great job giving belly rubs and long walks to my dog while we were out of town.”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I currently have no pets of my own which means I have tons of love with which I can shower your animals. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Saint Paul
Michelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and a cat! She came over to meet our animals she’d of time and review their needs and care. She was great with all The animals and her care shone through! She was on time, communication was ongoing throughout our trip and we chatted about any updates and any issues while we were away! Fully recommend and we will have Michelle watch our animals again!
Paige met our kitties a very hectic time of transition, and she was communicative and helpful every step of the way. One of our girls made things extra challenging for Paige, but she was more concerned with our kitty’s wellbeing than anything. She really cares and that means a lot. Paige is the best!
Shayla did an excellent job taking care of our 3 cats! They are all senior cats with three different foods for each of their special needs and medications for one of them. Fresh water was in their bowls, litter boxes were cleaned, mail brought in & plants watered. We will definately request Shayla again for our next time away!
Sara took wonderful care of our cat who can be quite shy. We came home to a happy kitty. Communication was great with daily photos, some even included the elusive cat. Sara even took care of putting peanuts out for the blue jays in our feeder. Highly recommend Sara and would gladly rebook.
Amanda took such great care of our cats while we were away! I got great photos during each visit and everything was so well taken care of while we were gone! One of our cats is very nervous and has never really come out for other sitters, but came out for Amanda each time which I think really speaks to how comfortable she made our cats feel during each visit! Couldn't be more appreciative and more happy with the care Amanda provided to our kitties! 😸
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.
I am undoubtedly an anxious mess when I leave my cats. Jill was so thorough, kind, and understanding! She did an excellent job of following my instructions to the T and provided lengthy comprehensive updates that eased my anxiety. I know my babies were in good hands! I would gladly book Jill again!

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.
