“Rose is a fantastic sitter! She paid attention to all my quirky details and was patient with my fearful kitty - my cat miraculously came out to say hello one of the days, which hasn’t happened with anyone else. She was also very respectful and my apartment—and cat—looked exactly like I left them. I will definitely choose Rose again 😀”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of my cat! I really appreciated the thorough summaries of what they did and the multiple pictures. She also cleaned up some puke without me asking, which I very much appreciated!”
“Jenna was amazing!! She cared for our cat Everest like her own. She gave great and detailed updates so I knew my cat was being well taken care of. Will absolutely use for future drop ins and pet sittings!”
“Yasmeen is amazing!!!! She is so gentle and caring and patient with my anxious kitty! She also writes amazing post-visit reports that are super detailed and include tons of photos. Highly recommend Yasmeen!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you for visiting with our kitties they were well cared for and so cool Nina popped out to visit. They hide . They are so happy when we came home. We will let you know when we are going to travel again.”
About: I am a very big animal lover and have grown up always having cats. Right now my parents have 4! I currently have two tuxedo cats named Winnie and Binx (from Hocus Pocus) who are brother and sister. I have done cat sitting for neighbors and work employees. I am currently completing my doctorate in occupational therapy and am working virtually throughout the week which creates a lot of flexibility. I am able to step away from my computer and would be able to complete pet care tasks throughout the week. I always make sure my own cats are taken care of and have everything that they might need. I would make sure that any cat I were to check in on would get the same treatment as my own. I get along with all cats and am very good at making sure they feel comfortable and safe.
“Sandra is amazing! She took such great care of Kitty and Bruno again while I was away—making sure they were fed, loved, and that Kitty got her meds without a hitch. She even looked after the squirrels and birds. With twice-daily check-ins for a week, I felt completely at ease the entire time. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. I truly can’t recommend her enough—she’s reliable, thoughtful, and always goes above and beyond!”
“Mary did an excellent job checking in on our kitty and guinea pigs, she even brought in a package for us that was on the porch I thought that was very thoughtful. Thank you!! I highly recommend Mary she is great!”
“We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.”
About: Look no further! My name is Allayna, and I feel honored to be entrusted with your pets! I have extensive experience working with dogs who experience separation anxiety, so rest assured that I will be gentle and understanding of your pet's needs, whatever they are. I prioritize communication during my stays as I recognize it is key to easing anxiety while you're away. Everyone who knows me would tell you I'm super transparent. If you have to trust anybody, let it be someone who will respect you, your pet, and your home. Send me a message and let's talk about what your pet’s needs are. I ALWAYS schedule a meet & greet before we confirm a booking. My priority is making you feel comfortable before making commitments. See you soon!! Having a job that allows me to work from home frees up weekday time for walks or house sitting. I love being outside, so walking your dog might be as exciting for me as it is for them! I have availability during weekdays as needed, in addition to evenings and weekends. I recognize the delicacy of having someone else in your home caring for your pet, and wish to honor that. I'm happy to take my shoes off when I enter your home, and more importantly, I intend to treat all possessions and environments (most especially your pet!) with the utmost care and gentleness while ensuring safety.
About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was 11, and my experience includes caring for cats with chronic and terminal illnesses. I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I've also fostered and boarded cats and dogs of all ages, giving me experience helping animals feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications, and I understand the importance of following care instructions closely. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior companion, or an animal who needs extra medical attention, I'll approach their care with compassion, respect, and the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is my full time occupation. I have nothing but time and love for your furry friends, and I will happily treat them as my own. I tailor my care to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize a safe, calm environment, consistent routines, plenty of affection, and attentive supervision. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and household routines, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, dog walks, and companionship for pets of different ages and activity levels. If it's a 2 mile walk through Schenley Park, a short jaunt around a familiar fire hydrant, or a quick trip from bed to the couch — I'm here for it all! I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with chronic or terminal illnesses, as well as administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications when prescribed. Having fostered cats and dogs of various ages, I'm comfortable helping animals settle into unfamiliar environments at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease while they're apart.
“Gabrielle took great care of our cats and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing, including cleaning up a plant that one had knocked over. She also sent lots of pictures which was appreciated.”
“Savannah did an excellent job caring for my senior cat, Phoebe, who has some special medical needs including a daily oral pill. I’m always nervous leaving Phoebe alone overnight, but Savannah’s prompt and thorough communication helped put my mind at ease. She gave her lots of care and attention during her visits with Phoebe and took great care of my home as well. I will definitely rebook with Savannah if we need a sitter in the future!”
“Emma truly was incredible. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of our two WILD doggos while we were away. Our big dog is very anxious and she did great dealing with his behaviors. If she can take care of our two crazy rescue dogs, I am sure she will also do great with all dogs! So happy we found Emma. :) Highly recommend!”
About: I take pride in making sure animals not only have their basic needs met but also can get the socialization and fun time they need (whether we are actively playing or sitting quietly together). My experience includes: - Dog care (bathroom breaks, feeding, puppy care, playing together, sitting together) - Feline care (refilling wet or dry food, refilling water, brushing coats, playing, sitting and spending time together) - Poultry care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, cleaning coops, giving baths, general checks for infected feet or other ailments) - Equine care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, refilling troughs, bathing, brushing, and hair braiding) - Medication administration (pills and liquid syringe orally) - Taking lots of update pictures of your friend to send to you! I am a contract filmmaker that does gig work, so if my profile is up and active I am available for your pet sitting needs! I am available for hire most days of the week, including weekends, so that you can travel and do what you need knowing your friend is comfortable at home and in good hands. Safety is the number one priority for myself and your friend and will be taken as upmost importance at all times. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and lifestyle-- I make sure to carefully observe their behaviors and tendencies when providing care you need for them in order to keep them happy and comfortable. Please feel free to ask me questions at any time.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and fish. As an adult I’ve personally cared for 1 large dog (Rottweiler/Pitbull/Labrador) and 2 cats. The dog was a troubled rescue that I trained and then found a permanent home. I help with my mother's aging Cocker Spaniel and share in the care of my partner's 3 cats. I run an eBay store, Door Dash on an ADV160, tend to Duolingo’s headquarter’s plants. My schedule is very flexible. When hired for house sitting I turn off my availability for drop-ins and walks. I live with 3 cats at the moment, black, white and grey. It’s like dancing to a meowing grey scale. They are spoiled, but just enough.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkinsburg
Jiawen is very responsive, she always replies timely whenever we leave her messages. She is also amazingly creative by finding a way to resolve the ant issue so Gawman could have normal healthy diets when we were away from home. I feel worriless knowing that Gawman has been in good hands and been taken good care of. I will definitely book Jiawen's service when we travel again and I will be more than happy to recommend her to friends who are in need.
Polina did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She is the first person I've hired through Rover and I could not be more happy with the attention and love she gave to my cats while I was away. I never had to worry that my cats were well and responsibility cared for while Polina was watching them. I would definitely work with her again for my pet care highly recommend her to others!
Lucas was a wonderful pet sitter for my Ori- I would 100% book again. Communicative, punctual, and even accommodated for last minute travel plan changes and was able to extend the booking an extra day. Went above and beyond by cleaning his litter box as well. Thank you, Lucas! 😊
Pulpo recieved the most purrrrrfect care from Brooke and her family. He was obviously looking forward to seeing them and had a lot of fun each time they came. We got the sweetest photos and updates each visit and came home to a very content creature. 100% recommend!
Ashley is very nice and I like her! She is very reliable! Thanks for taking good care of Nico!! I'm so glad you and Nico became friends!! I would love for you to watch Nico the next time I go away in April if interested! I would highly recommend Ashley to watch other pets! Thanks again Kim !!
Valerie is a conscientious and loving pet sitter and my dogs and cats love her visits. She maintains good communication both before and during visits so I feel comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond and I trust her with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.

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 .

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 , 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.
