“It was great working with Annalise. She was always on time and followed the instructions carefully. My cat seemed to have a good time with her. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Elizabeth was attentive, prompt, and her investment in care is highly appreciated! Our cat is incredibly shy, but even so she went beyond general care through her attempt to engage and offer affection with our cat. Thanks so much and looking forward to booking you again!”
“Eric is a really wonderful pet sitter. He completely understands cats, and doesn’t mind the occasional hiss, if one occurs. He’s prompt, thorough, and thoughtful, and I’ll look forward to working with him again!”
“Elizabeth was awesome! She was able to check in on both my kitties super last minute we were super stressed about finding coverage after a last minute cancellation. She sent updates and photos. Highly recommended her!!”
“Valentina helped us out on short notice when we needed a new sitter and were heading out of town in a few days. She took great care of our two cats and shared a lot of pictures and info in her updates about her drop ins. We feel confident in trusting Valentina to take care of our pets in the future!”
“Guanming and wife are great sitters! They are communitive and detail oriented. It was nice to travel knowing my cats were in good hands, and I got lots of good pictures. I would book again and highly recommend!”
“I always try to book Cara to take care of my cat when I'm out of town! She has been watching my kitty while I'm out of town for almost 2 years now & I'm always happy with how she takes care of things. It is clear Cara understands my cat's temperament very well. Kitty is an energetic and social guy who needs his attention & stimulation, and Cara always provides him with the focused, personalized engagement he needs. In terms of overall care (feeding, supplements/meds, litter, etc.) Cara is meticulous and does things exactly the way I would do myself. And, from a logistics side of things, Cara is always super communicative, transparent, and accountable. When I book with her, I'm not worried I'm going to have loose ends or surprises.”
“We are so thankful that Lindsay was able to take care of our two kitties while we were out of town! We appreciated her communication and the photos sent at every visit. We would love to have Lindsay care for our cats again in the future and would recommend her for other cat parents!”
About: Our fur baby, Maggie, a chocolate lab recently passed away at 13. We'd had her since she was 8 weeks so the house feels too quiet now. We miss her so much and while we can't commit to getting our own dog again just yet, we'd love to help care for your fur baby while you travel. Since we do have two kids though we need to ensure the pets we host are non-aggressive and good with kids. My husband and I work full time from home and we miss our daily walks with Maggie. Our schedules allow for the flexibility for walks, potty breaks, and play time. We're fortunate that we have a high, privacy fenced in yard to allow for great outdoor play time. We will only host one dog at a time so your special pet will receive 1x1 care. We do have children so it's important your dog has been around kids before.
“Zhaoli did a wonderful job looking after our cat, Marlon, while we were away. She was communicative throughout both visits, keeping us updated and putting our minds at ease. Marlon tends to be quite shy, so we were delighted to see how well he warmed up to her and played during her visits. We'd recommend Zhaoli without hesitation and are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Marlon. Thank you!”
“Excellent service; very professional, caring and reliable mother/daughter team. They made friends very quickly with our very shy rescue cat. They take good pictures and send detailed information on how the cat is doing. We look forward to reading their comments on the Rover Card. This is our second time using them, and we will continue in the future. We highly recommend them!”
About: I am truly a lover of all animals. I treat them like babies, no matter the age or breed. I have a special bonds with them ! I am currently looking to do this part time and my children are grown which means I have time to incorporate this into my daily routine. I ensure to respect each home and follow the instructions left for me. But I make sure that the pet feels loved with every interaction.
“Jeany was so great! My cat seemed to love her! She took a good amount of photos, cleaned up any messes, and had plenty of cuddle time with our gal. Next time we are away she will be my go to, if she is available that is. Thank you for giving us peace of mind Jeany.”
“Kyli was a great sitter! My 2 cats were very well cared for and happy and healthy when I got home. They were comfortable around Kyli and she has a real love for animals. She checked in daily and sent cute pics. The house was clean and in great condition. She was responsive and communicative before, during and after the sit. I would absolutely recommend Kyli!”
“This was our third time hiring Silvana to pet sit for us over the weekend. We couldn’t be happier with the way she takes care of our cat and pet ducks. She clearly follows all care directions, is very gentle and kind to our pets, and is dependable with great communication. Silvana consistently goes above and beyond. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ames Lake
Ben did a great job with our three cats. He arrived reliably to take care of their necessities, and ensured each cat got some attention and play time. This was especially important for our most skittish cat who can be hard to coax out, especially when her brothers like to hog the toys. We immediately noticed when we got home that she was more interactive and assertive at play time which is fantastic. He always sent us pictures and short videos from each visit, and we looked forward to each of them daily. We would definitely hire him 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.

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.
