“Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals! Currently have 3 loving and friendly dog along with 1 cat! They love when friends come over and they have someone to play with! We go on walks, love to be outside in our fenced in our back yard and snuggling up on the couch! My fur babies and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!
“Alexandra was amazing with our dog. She gave so many updates, was responsive to all of my messages, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Max at home where he prefers to be. We will definitely rebook Alexandra the next time we need a dog sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have raised and trained my own puppy once I moved out on my own. I have also had experience and patience with senior dogs as well. I love animals and would love to help out another pet owner in my down time! I do work full time, so I am not available 24/7 but I am always willing to schedule ahead of time. I am willing to travel and pup sit in any location. I also have a 6ft tall fenced in yard of my own. I do not smoke or have any allergies so being in someone else’s home is no concerns of mine.
“Jessi has been awesome letting the pups out. She always sends a lot of pictures and information on how the dogs are doing. We have used her multiple times and will continue to use her”
“Milo and Buddy were well-cared for and happy to see Balbina at every visit. We especially loved the little song she composed for their last visit (even though they both look unimpressed in the video, they really secretly loved it!). Balbina will be our first choice next time we need her help!”
“Lauchlan, we can't thank you enough for coming by and being so flexible with the dogs! I hope they were no problem! We appreciate you and so happy all seemed to work out.”
About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs, mostly focusing on basic obedience like sit, stay, lay down, speak, crate training, and name recall. I use positive reinforcement and food motivation, and I try to stay consistent with routines so pets understand what’s expected. I’m comfortable with daily care like feeding, walking, potty breaks, and keeping pets on a schedule. I’m patient and focused on making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, so I’m available for house sitting on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During those days, I have plenty of time to stick to your pet’s routine, that means feeding, walks, playtime, etc. Im often available after work as well to provide any small quick services like walks! I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed or alone while their owner is away. I also treat the client’s home with respect, keeping it clean and secure, and making sure everything is left as it was when I arrived. My goal is to create a calm, reliable environment where both the pet and the owner feel at ease.
“Cynthia is a real find! We were very anxious about leaving our senior cat, Stephan, but from the very first moment, we knew he was in safe hands. Cynthia was incredibly gentle and attentive to his needs as an older cat. We received regular photo updates and check-ins, which kept us completely at ease. Stephan was calm and content when we returned, and our home was left in perfect order. We will definitely be booking with Cynthia again!”
About: I have worked at a boarding/ doggie daycare facility for over 10 years! I have knowledge on giving meds and going the lengths for your pets to get to know me and be comfortable in their own environment. I am known as an animal whisperer cause dogs that may have trouble with others I attract! I am free in the mornings typically and usually all weekends I have 2 dogs of my own that I care for. I mostly work nights so I get off around 8:30 but the rest of the night I am free for any late night needs I take care of your fur babies as if they were my own with any instructions you may have. If they have a schedule I like to stick with it
“Amber was so wonderful with our dog Kermit. He couldn’t wait for her to come back each visit. He would wait by the door for her. She gave him lots of love and attention and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from big dogs to small. I love walking my own dogs in forest preserves and I have dog-sat my neighbor’s dog before. I also worked at a pet store for a few months. I’m currently in school and have a part time job, but my mornings during the weekdays from 6 am to 11am are free to walk your dogs. I currently don’t offer pet care in my home, but I’m happy to travel to you. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while in their own home. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re doing great while you’re away.

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.
