“Hannah followed our feeding/care directions and showed our Olive lots of love and pets. Olive seemed relaxed when we got back home, which was relieving having seen her very stressed when we’ve not been able to take her with us previously. Thanks Hannah!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Courtney! I accidentally booked the wrong weekend for our cat care, and as soon as I realized the mistake and contacted her, she immediately offered to head right over to take care of my kitty. That level of kindness, flexibility, and reliability meant so much to me, especially while traveling over a holiday weekend. She stayed for at least a full hour each visit, sent tons of photos and detailed updates every day, and clearly spent quality time making sure my cat was comfortable and cared for. The updates really helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing my kitty was in such good hands. I truly appreciated her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for animals. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!”

About: I have a love and understanding for all animals! I have trained my own and have learned so much through them. I have a lot of experience with dogs with behavioral issues. I am a college student with a lot of free time. My evenings are free and I have a lot of gaps during the day! I would love to get out on walks with dogs in my gaps. I have my own dog to keep yours company if that is something you would like. If not, he can stay with his other mama when your pup is over! Dogs will get full exercise and enrichment when staying with me. We will be in a fenced in yard running around and go on serval walks throughout the day.
About: (Formerly Kamp Kelley) I have been fostering small dogs for a rescue group in No. VA. for the last 9 years (my aching back doesn’t allow me to work with dogs larger than 20 lbs)--prior to that I fostered cats and kittens. I has experience with many types of small dogs—especially Shih Tzu’s and Llasa Apso’s, but also Yorkshire Terriers, Basset Hounds, Pom's, Toy Poodles, etc. My expertise is in rescuing and caring for senior and special need dogs. Since I have a dog-friendly house and a large-fenced yard (1/4 acre) for them to run and play in, I decided to become a dog-sitter 5 years ago. I believe in loving and treating your fur-baby like my own! We keep her home and yard dog proof so your little angel will be in a safe, relaxed, dog-friendly, and loving environment! Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible. I'm retired and except for occasional trips to the store, bi-weekly Bridge games. monthly book group and a occasional meeting, I'm home ALL THE TIME. At this point, I am accepting only ONE dog at a time EXCEPT if there are 2 dogs from the same household. Same for cats. I have a large, fenced yard that can be separated off. I have lots of dog equipment. For example large crates if your dog is used to being crated, bowls, beds and cushions, a big bed for them to share with me, jackets, leashes, kongs and lots of love and affection. Same for cats--EXCEPT, I let them out only on the back deck (enclosed).
“Isabella we as BEST! She communicated from the start and we were able to work out the best schedule. She sent cute pictures and videos of my girls (two cats) every time she visited and kept me up to date on their shenanigans. The girls are happy and healthy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I’ve been volunteering at my local animal shelter for the past two years, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. This experience has taught me how to recognize different temperaments, build trust with shy or anxious animals, and confidently care for energetic pets as well. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a PA (Physician Assistant) student who absolutely loves animals and enjoys spending my free time caring for pets. My class schedule keeps me busy during the day on weekdays, but I’m available for early morning (before 7am) and evening visits (after 5pm) on weekdays, open on weekends, and many overnight stays. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their personality, preferences, and any special needs before each booking. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and house rules to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine.
About: I have eight years of experience caring for cats. I absolutely adore cats, and having had a cat of my own for almost 10 years now, I know how beloved and valued they are by the families I help. Throughout my years of cat sitting, I have cared for cats of all ages, administered medications, cleaned multiple litter boxes, and, of course, entertained with cat toys! Your need for pet care is never a burden. I take true joy in having the opportunity to meet and care for new furry friends! I currently work as a fitness specialist and personal trainer in medical fitness, so I have full availability on the weekends and my schedule with training clients largely allows me to check-in on pets throughout the day. I am unable to keep cats in my home; however, I am happy to travel to clients' homes and stay overnight to provide care. In my previous experiences cat sitting, I often check-in multiple times daily throughout my work day and stay in the home each night. I provide drop-in or house-sitting services.
“Isabelle did a great job caring for our dog, cat, and rabbit. She took the time to make sure they were well cared for and happy and gave us updates all along the way. Would highly recommend!”
“Sara was fantastic! She took amazing care of my 5 kitties. She kept me updated on how they were doing after each visit and made sure to provide photos of all of them. I was also very happy to hear that my very shy cat who tends to hide from everyone came out each visit and was happy to say hello and get some pets. I would definitely recommend Sara and book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dads friends dogs aswell as my own cat. I’ve fed, walked, etc.. I’d love to work with your pet! I’ve had my cat for 12 years and she’s well taken care of. This is currently my main priority as I’m going to college soon! I can do pretty much any days and any times!! Monday-Friday. 7Am- 9PM (just an example) I currently do not offer this ! But if i ever did I’d make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as my own. Thank you for trusting me!
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Lauren was excellent! We initially did a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable with her. She ended up watching our cat for a week while we were away on vacation. She did a great job! She checked in with me every day and provided pictures and feedback. I will be using Lauren in the future anytime I need pet sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , 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 .
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 , 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.
