“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”
About: I have been taking care of cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish for as long as I can remember. Family and friends trust me to look after and care for their pets while they’re away. This includes feeding, walking, play with, and bathing. My schedule varies and is flexible. I am able to walk and care for your pet(s) in the morning and evening, and often times mid day. I am comfortable looking after your furry friends in your home. I can stop by for a visit or stay the night with them, whatever you would prefer.

About: I have been pet and house sitting for 15 +years. I have worked with all different types of breeds of dogs, as well as the those with medical needs, and special diets. I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 3 years - 8 years. The smallest being a silly frenchie and the largest is a malinois. I am currently working from home part time and I am available after 10am everyday to come walk the dogos or whatever you might need. We have a tiny fenced in farm at our house to keep all of our dogs and other animals safe. But if staying at a clients home all safety protocol would be followed to their standards.
“Grateful for Rachael‘s availability! I was in a bind when my husband was out of town and I needed to go into the office. Rachel quickly agreed to come over to walk our Maizy girl. With the reunion the day before, Maizy recognized Rachael immediately, even though it had been three months!She greeted her with a happy smile and tail wags! Thanks again, Rachael for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Abby! I’m a remote worker based in Saco, Maine. I have a very sweet lab/boxer mix Tilly who gets along well with other dogs. I grew up caring for multiple dogs, cats and rabbits and have also pet-sat for family, friends and roommates quite a bit. I feel confident with all breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m home almost all day and have a very flexible schedule. I offer walks and drop-ins in the Saco area, but I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting. Just message me if you have any questions - I’d love to meet your fur babies! I work remotely as a freelance designer so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day for drop-ins and walks and can do overnights with enough notice. I am very respectful of how others prefer to care for their pets and their homes. I will treat your beloved pet like my own and make sure to follow your outlined instructions for them. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable while you are away is key!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so that’s 25 years of loving animals, but just 11 years as the sole caregiver of my own. From Labradors to Chihuahuas, to Police K-9s, I’ve loved them all, though I’m currently a cat lady. For the first time in my life, I don’t have any dogs at the moment, as I don’t feel like I have enough space for it to be fair to them. So this is how I get my dog fix, and my steps in at the same time 🤭. I currently have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog, I’m a sucker for an exotic pet. I’ve also had 4 snakes in the past (my husband is terrified or else I’d have some right now). One of my cats is leash trained, and one has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well. I do work full-time during the week, so I am only available after 5pm. Sometimes I’m able to step away for breaks as I work from home 3 days per week, but my work is pretty irregular, so afternoons and evenings are the best bet for my availability. I live in a relatively small condo, so I don’t have much space. As much as I would love to offer boarding, I don’t think it would be fair to your pet, as I also do not have a yard. BUT I’m more than happy to stop by your home and fulfill any requests!
“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”
“Gigi was great taking care of 2 cats over 4 days. From the moment I contacted to request service, she was very communicative. The cats and home were in great condition when we returned home. Loved the pics!”

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.
