“My husband and I have been working with Corina for a couple of years now and we absolutely love her!! Our kitties love her and we know that they’re in great hands while we’re away.”
“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”
“Valentina house-sat my cats for two weeks, and she was absolutely wonderful from the moment we met. She was responsive, attentive to my cats’ needs, and consistently communicative with me throughout the stay. I noticed that both of my cats were happier and more relaxed than they’ve been with any previous sitter. She also took great care of my seedlings, which were thriving when I returned, and my home was in even better condition than when I left it. I would gladly work with her again.”
About: During high school and still to this day, I house sit and do daily check ins for my friends pets, so I spend a lot of time with animals. I am comfortable adapting to what you and your pet requires for the best experiences. I have experience feeding cats and dogs, giving oral medication, cleaning up throw up on carpets, furniture, floors, etc. I’ve cared for large dogs with a lot of energy, medium sized dogs, small sized dogs, anxious cats and dogs, and senior pets. I grew up with a lot of animals in my family and I love going on runs, walks, hikes, etc. I really just love being outside and getting active. I have two domestic short hair cats that I adopted when they were first born, and now they are two years old and thriving. I’m currently working part time at Yardhouse and need to get some more exercise. I work mostly in the afternoon on weekday and weekends, so morning walks and early afternoons are the best times I can provide services. I can also provide services late night services for emergencies and last minute situations. My schedule is flexible early morning and late nights. I am a very early riser so I am most available in the mornings. I will treat your pet and home as if it was mine. I’ll follow your exact instructions so you won’t have to worry about your pet. I’ll keep a close eye on your pet and make sure all doors and gates are closed, ensuring no risk of losing your beloved pet. Dogs and cats will stay leashed at all times when going on walks. I’ll send very detailed updates through out the day, leaving no worries about your pets safety and well being. If I sense something is wrong, I’ll give you a call immediately and take them to the vet if necessary.
“Andrew is an attentive, thoughtful pet sitter who quickly earned my pets trust. He ensured my pets food and water dispensers were always full, and went above and beyond to ensure my pets received attention and excellent care while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Andrew for both longer and short duration pet sitting needs!”
“Kasandra looked after our cats for over 3 weeks while we were away. One of my cat has asthma and she was open to learn and give the inhaler as well. She was always on time and shared each details of the cats with lots of pictures. Additionally, she took care of our mails. I would highly recommend her.”
“Sarah was very thorough and communicative! She went above and beyond with cleaning, which was much appreciated. Our cats seemed comfortable, happy, and very well taken care of upon returning from vacation. We would absolutely recommend and book her again!”
“Maya was an incredible house sitter and took great care of our elderly cat. She’s thoughtful and respectful - and clearly loved our little kitty. Her regular communication and photos made us smile and feel confident she was being well taken care of while we were away. I hope she’ll back!”
About: Long time animal mom, I work comfortably with all animals. I’ve personally owned 135 pound boxer down to 10 pound bossy chihuahua. I’ve always animal sit and handle dog walks for friends and family, so I thought it was time to set up a rover account. I am a former childcare provider that cared for 8 children while having 3 dogs, 3 cats, 6 chickens and a bearded dragon. My pets thought they were daycare children and I worked with the children to treat my animals with the love and respect they deserve. My dogs have taught toddlers to walk, and learned to tell on them if they were hit. I’m a wife, and mother to two high schoolers. Currently have an 85 pound boxer boy and 10 pound chihuahua with 3 cats and 1 bearded dragon. I’ve owned multiple dogs my entire life, but the last 25 years I’ve always kept at least 2 dogs and 3 cats at all times. I’ve cared for kidney failure with cats, and dogs in failing health due to age, along with blindness. Before becoming a childcare provider, I worked as a Vet assistant for 3 years, so I took in valuable information during that time that my animals and family animals have benefited from. I’m currently staying home after working full time away from home for the last 5 years. After closing my daycare, I obtained my BA in Psychology and jumped right into working as a Project Engineer in construction. While it was fulfilling, my children required a more flexible schedule for tennis matches and mornings with me. I am able to house sit, my children are fine with me being away for a week or so in the morning, but the continual mornings for 5 years was too much after having access to me 24/7 their entire childhood. I have family support for them, so that frees up my schedule, so I flexible to care for animals at different times day and night. I own a home with a fenced in yard with grass and room to play. I utilize additional temporary fences for added protection for smaller dogs. Inside we utilize baby gates because our young cats have decided that our boxer isn’t their friend, so they take up the bedroom side of the house, avoiding him and that makes their life easier. I also utilize my parents fenced in yard that is 15 minutes away for long stretches of grass to run and play. Their yard is massive and great for pups that need to get out a little extra energy. I am all about the extra caution when it comes to my own babies and yours.
About: I’ve been petsitting since I was 14. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, and even my neighbors furry companions! I have experience taking care of Senior dogs as well as dogs that have more special needs. I am a confident caretaker and hope to be trusted to take care of your fur babies and provide them with as much comfort as possible! I’m currently working full time at a doggie daycare in San Jose so I get to work with dogs all the time. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to help out and look after your furry friends as well! I’m very flexible and i’ll make sure to make the time to give your pet the attention and care that they need. :) I love to get your pup out in the sun to get some fresh air and exercise. Nothing more healing than the sun! Nearby parks or specific routes that they enjoy ensures that they are comfortable while you are away. I always make sure to play with them so they can get some energy out while having the fun they need. Although a pup will soon get tired and so while they nap I of course give them the much needed rest and space.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attentiveness I give every pet. I truly treat them like family and pay close attention to their comfort, behavior, and routine. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges or cognitive decline, and I’m comfortable assisting with medications, mobility support, and maintaining a calm environment. I’m also patient with puppies/younger pups and can reinforce basic commands to keep routines consistent. I can also care for cats, though do not have as much experiences with them compared to dogs. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of love while you’re away. I have an extremely flexible schedule, so please let me know how I can best accommodate your needs! I am available 7 days a week from 10am - 10pm and can do later night check-ins (11pm-1am) if needed. I tailor my care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their established schedule — including feeding, walks, medications, crate time (if used), and any special instructions. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable, minimizing stress, and maintaining the environment they’re used to. I also provide regular updates with photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I’m always happy to conduct a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
About: With 12+ years of cat care and 4+ years of dog experience, I work full-time from home to give your pets constant attention, care, and supervision. My home is a warm, pet-friendly environment shared with my own friendly dog and cat. Dogs will love running and playing in our very spacious backyard, while cats have their own dedicated cat room complete with climbing trees and an automatic cleaning litter box. Whether staying for the day or overnight, your pet will be treated just like family! Working from home allows me to provide full-time supervision and attentive care throughout the day. Dogs receive 3 to 4 walks daily alongside frequent backyard play sessions, while cats get engaging, one-on-one playtime on their own terms. I maintain a flexible daily flow to ensure your pet’s typical feeding and exercise routine is never disrupted. My home is fully set up for pet safety, comfort, and fun. Dogs have access to a large, securely fenced backyard for daily exercise, alongside my friendly Labrador who loves making new playmates. For feline guests, I offer a bright, sunny dedicated cat room where they can explore, climb, and relax in their own comfortable space.

“Ashley did a great job caring for our cats while we were away. She took the time to spend time with them and make sure they felt safe and comfortable around her. We felt at ease knowing that our cats are well cared for. Even my super shy anxious kitty approved of her!”
“Yun-an (Elva) is really the best sitter we know and is our savior! We had originally planned to have her drop by only a few times when we were away but the night before our trip (literally while I was packing), one of our cats had an emergency. The doctor subscribed him medication to be taken twice a day. I was ready to cancel the trip if I couldn’t find someone to take care of him. Luckily, not only did Elva agree last minute to come two times a day, but she really went above and beyond the expectations during her visits. She is extremely detailed oriented and kept me updated about everything. Our cat is really but Elva did a great job of making him feel comfortable and making sure that he ate before giving him the medicine. Her rover cards had dozens of photos and long descriptions of what each of my fur babies did during her visits. She is such a patient and loving care taker, and I can tell both of my cats trust her. Having Elva come by made me feel at ease during my trip, because I know there is someone who would take very good care of my cats. I feel so, so lucky to have found her. Highly highly recommended!”
About: I worked as a certified pet care specialist for 3 years and have been dog sitting and walking for five years. I have a 3 year old Pomeranian dog and been a dog owner my whole life. 😊 I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and attend to your pups! I also have a fenced backyard so can play with them in the yard as well and take regular morning and afternoon walks with my pup daily! I have a fenced yard and a 3 year old Pomeranian who is super friendly and can keep your pup company! We have plenty of room for a crate as well if you want your pup to be crated at any time and pets are allowed on all furniture in my home. 😊

Rachel was a major factor in my ability to enjoy a fun filled extended Wedding weekend in Texas. Rachel showed confidence & a “can do” attitude during our initial meet and greet which carried through my entire away time. I found my stress level about my special needs cat pretty much nonexistent with Rachel providing updates on each of her visits. Rachel established a relationship with Moe ( my cat ) which isn’t easy to do and performed all duties to the highest level. I recommend Rachel without hesitation.
We needed a pet sitter on extremely short notice when our original sitter had an accident while we were far away from home. We were panicking about what to do with our two cats, but Thao stepped in and accepted my request right away. The relief we felt was immediate! She quickly followed every single feeding and care instruction perfectly and catered to all of our specific requests for our cats. On top of giving our cats great care, she went above and beyond by keeping the house clean and bringing our delivery packages inside. Having someone this reliable, attentive, and thoughtful made our travel completely stress-free. We cannot thank Thao enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!
I needed someone to come in the mornings to feed my cats. Tyler was available after my original Rover booking canceled on me at the last minute. He checked in with me before leaving each day to make sure that I didn't need anything else. I appreciated the status updates and follow-up questions to be as helpful as he could.
Maria does such a wonderful job. She goes above board does everything perfectly and cares very much about my cats and keeps me informed. I so appreciate her. I just wish this time I would’ve had a little more money for a tip, but I was a little short, so Maria to do a fabulous job thank you.
Gabriel was a wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Moushi. He was always on time and paid great attention to every detail, making sure nothing was overlooked. What I especially appreciated was the time and effort he put into earning Moushi’s trust in the beginning. He was patient and genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that Moushi was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable cat sitter!
Courtney did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She followed instructions, made sure my kitty was well-fed, and spent time playing with her. Courtney was communicative and easy to work with, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
Rachel did a great job taking care of our 2 cats! We had a last-minute trip come up, and she was quick to agree to watch them. One of our cats needs insulin shots twice a day, and she was comfortable giving them to him. We felt completely comfortable leaving the cats in her care and would definitely have her watch them again!

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.

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.

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.
