“Super reliable and very friendly to us and our pup! Really appreciate the efforts during our initial meetings to make sure our buddy was comfortable. Now they are like old friends and it’s only been a few visits!”
About: I have many years of experience with animal care and rescue. I’ve worked on a horse ranch rescue, Animal Control Officer, animal rescue, animal shelters and pet sitting. I have a lot of training in veterinary care, animal handling, animal behavior and administration of medication. I have dedicated my life to fostering and adopting hospice pets. I am fortunate to have a full time career that is very flexible with scheduling. I am also off most weekends to leave me free to care for pets! I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect and care. I will be very happy to follow your special instructions and often updates.
“I’m absolutely never worried about my cats with Kathy on the job! Even my shy girl loves her, which is a hard thing to accomplish! She’s awesome, highly recommended :)”
“Christine was very nice & caring with my boy simba! She updated me regularly & even sent pictures & videos. Simba had a great time in her care & I will definitely be booking again for future trips!”
“Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Savannah stepped in on short notice for the holidays and gave Bella and Hobbes the best care imaginable. She brought such warmth, attention, and playful energy—our pets clearly felt safe and loved the entire time. Her support made all the difference, and we’re so grateful for her reliability and kindness. We’d welcome her back anytime!”
“Anya was great with my pup! This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone but Anya made me feel a lot better about it. She did a great job keeping me up to date on how Stella was doing and was very responsive! Overall a great experience and I would definitely book again!”
“Monica was great! She left detailed reports on how my two cats did while I was away, and was available on short notice. The pictures were lovely, and plenty were taken.”
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life. I've had dogs since I was born and currently my family and I have 3 dogs. I'm currently unemployed and taking online classes for college, so my schedule is very flexible! I'm free most days of the week almost any time. I can come by your house and play with your animals, feed them, walk them, and even just sit with them for as long as you need.
“Elizabeth has done an amazing job caring for Moses! She goes above and beyond a simple drop in by taking him for a nice walk and playing with him while making sure to take plenty of pictures. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet Elizabeth is the best!”
About: I have broad experience in general pet care, including several years caring for my own pets. I’ve worked professionally with both cats and dogs in a pet salon, owned and cared for small pets, and have experience walking dogs through Rover, providing reliable exercise and attentive care. I’m also a pescatarian, which reflects my mindful and compassionate approach to animal care and wellbeing. 🐾❤️ I’m not naturally a morning person, but I’m willing to work early when needed. I can walk to nearby houses in the morning and afternoon, and I have additional availability to drive to more distant locations later in the day. Please keep this in mind when scheduling visits. I care for pets by following their routines, providing feeding, play, exercise, and attention. Whether in my home or the client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Catherine was fantastic! She provided drop in care for my fur baby while I was away and kept me updated on how Sophie was doing. It gave me tremendous peace of mind to know she was well taken care of in my absence.”
About: I’ve had over 2 pets in my life which I have cared for before 1 passed. I often take car or dogs while doing that! I’m currently get my phlebotomy certificate so I work from 8-4 and if you’re near Howard University I can definitely walk your dog during lunch hour! I work with whatever you tell me! If you dog loves to play fetch outside, I love doing it. If your doggie loves cuddling up and napping that’s great too

Hillary is great! She is our go-to to care for our two cats. She is responsive and great at communicating. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they are her own, then you must contact Hillary. We will absolutely ask her to look after our cats again.
Samantha took excellent care of our cats and chickens everyday when my family and I were on vacation. She wrote detailed Rover Cards with over 20 photos daily so, I would know how much she cared for our animals while 1,000 miles away. When we got back our cats and chickens were calm and happy. Samantha was the best choice for our family and animals.
Ashley did an amazing job at stopping in to make sure my girls were okay. She always sent me tons of photos which I loved and she played with them too which was rly cute and nice! Her communication was amazing, would recommend! Will be booking with her again in the future

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.

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.
