“Thank you so much for being so attentive with our kitties! We loved seeing all of the photos each day and it seems like they both really like you! You’ll definitely be hearing from us again soon!”
About: Animals have been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember, literally since I was two! My love for them runs so deep that I even have dogs tattooed on me. 🐾 I’m a proud cat mom to Mishka, my adopted kitty, and I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years. I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs; from enriching walks and playtime to calm companionship, cuddles, and attentive in-home care. I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease while you’re away. That’s why I focus on dependable communication, consistency, and the little details that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether you’re traveling for a weekend or need ongoing support, you can count on your pet to receive the same love, attention, and high level of care I give my own. ❤️ I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for plenty of walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily work pet care into my routine and provide attentive, loving care without leaving your fur baby alone for long stretches! Your home and fur babies are in caring, trustworthy hands with me! ❤️ With my background in government security clearance, financial management, and veterinary clinic experience, I understand how important trust, responsibility, and attention to detail are. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, keeping them happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large dogs, as well as cats. I’ve also worked with many animals through volunteer work and grew up spending time around animals on farms. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, playing, or simply spending quality time together, I approach every animal with patience, care, and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits and can often accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I genuinely love being around animals, so pet care is something I enjoy fitting into my everyday routine. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s normal routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Maggie did an amazing job. We can tell the dogs are happy and have been well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Shelby was very respectful, kind and attentive! She was also very flexible with me which was so appreciated! She made sure to spend the full time with my kitty and gave her lots of attention! I received many update photos.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful with my cats, Loki & Simba! I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. She was dependable, loving, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾❤️”
About: I enjoy taking care of all types of animals. Family and friends have relied on me for years to spend time with their best friend I’m working part time, with school and working out. I have flexible hours so I’m available when needed. I will plan around walking hours or just stopping by if needed I have a fenced in yard with a lot of grass for outdoor activities. My house is well equipped for any type of animal that would need a home for a little
About: I'm a longtime cat owner and one-time Pit bull owner, and have spent the last 5 years dog and house sitting across the Kansas City metro area. I've taken care of Corgis, German Shepherds, Jack Russell Terriers, Goldendoodles, Pit bulls, mutts, and a few cats. Auntie Supreme duties include: ear and belly rubs, words of affirmation, dog walks led by their nose only, water and food bowl replenishments, kitty litter scooping, toy throwing. I'm currently working part-time, and my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-in visits weekdays and Saturdays before 3pm, and any time Sundays. Boarding at my home is only available for cats, and is available throughout the week. If I'm caring for a pet in a client's home, I'm doing so in accordance with how they're usually cared for. I'm a big believer in a pet staying in their own home while the owner is away, to avoid the trauma of a kennel but also to avoid the trauma of changing their routine at all. Therefore, I always do walks, meals, treats, etc. as the owner typically does. For pets in my home, the same rules of maintaining the pet's typical routine apply, as much as I can do so in my own space.
About: Dogs & cats have been in almost every household I've been a part of since childhood. Since 2019, I've had the honor of caring for my dog, Apollo. He's a sweetheart who is also reactive to other animals, so I've learned a lot about managing his energy and am comfortable working with other animals who might have some challenging behavioral traits. I’m outgoing and energetic, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I also enjoy playtime with dogs and cats, and am happy to play fetch or dangle a string to the animal’s content. Also a sucker for cuddle time! I understand the importance of consistency in animal routines and am happy to follow whatever rules & habits you have in place for your pet. I’ve cared for animals with special needs (including special diets and medications), as well as issues hearing/seeing. I work as a freelance writer & editor, so my schedule is generally quite flexible for walks and drop-in visits. I look forward to meeting your lovely animals!
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Lindsay did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties, one of which needs insulin shots twice a day! Her communication was impeccable, which gave me peace of mind during my long 20 day absence. She was also quick to reach out for instruction & helpful in suggesting solutions when a couple of issues came up around the home that needed attention. Lindsay is reliable, friendly & trustworthy. I recommend her 100% & will definitely use her services again in the future!
Absolute perfection! Crissy watched my two kittens for 3 weeks and I could not have asked for a better Rover experience. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she afforded me while traveling - via consistent updates and wonderful photos that showed how happy and relaxed my kittens were. Crissy was great and super prompt with communication. I will absolutely be booking again and cannot recommend her highly enough! 5/5 stars!
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Marci, Chandler! Knowing you were popping in three times a day and being so reliable brought me total peace of mind. The regular photo updates were fantastic and made me feel so connected while I was away. I truly appreciate your exceptional care 🧡
Jennifer and her husband watched our cats while we were on our honeymoon for two weeks and did a fantastic job. They sent us thorough updates each day and gave our problem cat his pill each morning. They followed instructions perfectly, played with them, cleaned up nicely, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. This was our first time booking with them and would do it again in a heartbeat. We appreciate the care you provided to our boys! Thank you!
Michelle was so amazing, it warmed my heart to know someone was actually giving my cat love and attention as much as I would because that’s usually a pet owners biggest fear. I was out of the country for around two weeks and worried about my cat because she tends to be a little shy and scared of new people and typically i only know how to deal with her. Michelle was perfect !! letting my cat slowly warm up to her presence visit by visit. She would send photos every visit and that was very reassuring, she would play with my cat and feed her and cuddle with gigi. I would get photos of gigi playing, running, and cuddling which is not her norm for when she meets new people so i was very happy with that.There wasn’t a moment where I was worried about my gigi. Michelle is so nice and compassionate and sweet and it shows because my gigi warmed up to her, she responds to messages and updates me where i felt reassured and comfortable, I could not be happier that i found her to take care of my cat and i was honestly lucky to have her as my pet sitter.I would definitely choose her again over anyone if I ever had to leave my cat again but in general with any animal because she actually cares.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
