“Tabitha took great care of my needy and noisy older cat with separation anxiety. It’s great to know I can leave her in experienced hands. Would love to book again if she’ll have us!”
“Sophie is simply the best! She is very reliable and caring. We felt confident leaving our three cats in her care, especially our 15-year-old cat with dementia. During our trip, we knew our cats were in great hands. We are already looking forward to our next international vacation, knowing Sophie will take care of our beloved pets.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Amanda was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent great Rover Cards with detailed updates and photos. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and took a lot of pride in making sure they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!”
“Liz is awesome! So communicative and easy to talk to and we love that she so clearly genuinely cares about the well being of of three kitties:) she loves playing with them and giving them love. She’s also been awesome and helped provide updates about packages and emptying our dehumidifier. It’s great receiving updates and photos! Liz is a salt of the earth gem!!”
“Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Communication was quick and consistent, and she was always very responsive whenever I had a question or update. I felt confident leaving my pet in her care and appreciated the updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others!!!”
“She was fantastic, sent us pictures of our baby while we were away and we could tell that she truly cared for her. Our baby was so happy with her if you have a cat that needs a friend this is who you’re looking for!!!”
About: I am the go to person for taking care of everyone else's pets. I love all the furry and non furry animals. Except snakes. That's a different ballgame. I currently work a part time job. I also have 4 kids on school. I am flexible primarily during the school hours, evenings and weekends. I have one dog, rat terrier who thinks he runs the show. But the true queens are my two cats, Oreo and Kitty kitty. My now 11 year old named both of them.
“Jun was super responsive and great with our cat Mobi. Mobi is usually extremely shy but not with Jun which says a lot! Would gladly work with Jun again:)”
“Emily was great and took excellent care of my two cats while I was away! They were very communicative throughout the entire time and they followed all of my instructions exactly as requested. I really appreciated their reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“Fantastic cat sitter. Our friendly cat was obsessed and Leah even managed to make friends with our shy cat, so nobody was even slightly grumpy we had been gone for 9 days.”
About: I have been around all kinds of animals for my whole life! I love dogs, cats, and beyond! I have experience in dog sitting and cat sitting while also currently being a lead animal care specialist at a non profit organization. My responsibilities include feeding, caring, bathing, cleaning enclosures, and administering medicine to all critters! I will take care of your fur baby as if they were my own! I am finished with my work day early most wednesday and thursday’s and am off on Friday’s for the most part. I am available most weekends too. I will always put the pet first. I will make sure they are comfortable and not scared or on edge. We will go at their pace for trust and respect their boundaries. For dogs, I will always make sure their bathroom needs and outdoor/indoor playtime met. For cats, I will play, pet, or simply be with them for as long as they need!
“Krysta was incredible with my cat, who had to wear a cone for the first few days and required both oral medication and injections. Krysta was willing to stop by 3 times per day while my cat had the cone to make sure she was able to eat enough food and give her attention. By the time I returned, my cat was healed and looking happily like her old self!”
“Jackie is very friendly and so good with our cat. She arrived everyday right on time and sent us a picture too. It was a comfort knowing that my kitty was in such good hands while we were away.”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care for dogs with a strong focus on safety, structure, and positive experiences. I have professional experience working in a dog kennel and daycare facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This included supervising playgroups, maintaining safe environments, and closely monitoring behavior and wellbeing. I’m comfortable with dogs who are energetic, shy, or reactive, and I always prioritize reading body language and maintaining a calm, controlled environment. I follow feeding and walking routines closely and make sure each dog receives the attention and care they need based on their personality. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dog is safe, well cared for, and treated with patience and respect. I keep a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I plan my commitments in advance to ensure I can be consistent and dependable for each booking. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and safe. I follow all instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, litter/cleanup, and any special care needs are done properly. I also take time to observe each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they feel secure while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and always aim to leave things as clean and organized as I found them.

We would definitely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!
Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!
Mel was absolutely amazing! She was perfect for my crazy zoo! She communicated with me daily, so I always knew what my crew was up to! I had no worries while I was away, because I knew my animals were in good hands! I am absolutely going to rebook her in the future!
This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit hesitant but Carolyn B. made me feel secure with my animals under her care. She was prompt, thorough and conscientious for all of the visits while I was away. She stayed in communication with me and responded promptly to any of my questions. I recommend Carolyn and would use her again!
Kelly was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Luna and Oliver. She was very proactive in her communication and provided detailed updates on how the two were doing, which gave us peace of mind during our travels given Luna’s regular health issues. The cats were clearly very comfortable with Kelly and we greatly appreciated the care and attention she gave to them to ensure they were happy and well-taken care of. She even went the extra mile to help us out during an unexpected incident, which was a huge lifesaver for us. We highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets and wants to give them the best experience when you’re away!
Brenay is a gem! She was easy to work with from start to finish. She came for a meet and greet, followed all instructions, and most importantly took great care of our kitty. She sent pictures, was super communicative, responsive, and problem solved on her own when little things popped up. She also left the house as she found it. We will certainly use her 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 .
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 .

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.
