“Abigail was awesome!!!! She did 2 drop in visits a day for a week for my cat and he loved her. He usually takes a little bit to warm up to someone, but by day 2 or 3 he was curled up on her lap in a photo she sent. What a relief! So happy I chose her. She also made sure to visit first, before she accepted, which I couldn’t have been happier about. This way she got to meet me and my cat and get the lay of the land with where everything was. Not everyone on Rover offers that, that’s for sure. She even went above and beyond. I realized that after I left my front door lock was losing power, I was so nervous it was going to go out and there would be no way for her to get in before the week was up, so I told her where everything was and asked if she can change the batteries and she did it immediately. She did such a great job all around! I’ll definitely use her again.”
“I cannot recommend Brittany enough! I have a cat with heart disease that requires a fairly strict medication routine, and I’m very hesitant about leaving him in the care of anyone else. I’m recently moved here from Missouri, and had to travel back this weekend. Brittany took such good care of my cat and it helped me relax and enjoy my time at home. I will definitely be using her again any time that I can in the future.”
“As always Haley took great care of our cat and fish while we were away. Highly recommend Haley! Will definitely continue to use her pet sitting services in the future”
“Shannon is wonderful! She did a meet and greet prior to house and cat sitting for us. One of our cats had recently had surgery and she made sure she was well taken care of. She was highly communicative and sent photos of the kittens. Highly, highly recommend her!”
About: Neighbors have relied on us to take care of their dog for long periods of time! We’d love to have your pet join our family while you’re away! We both work full time on week days but have plenty of time in the day to take care of our own dog so adding yours to our day won’t be any trouble! We follow whatever routine the pet is used to. Walks, back yard play time, big couch for snuggles, and loving children for all the pets your pet needs!
“Ashley was really nice about things. She got back with me promptly upon requesting a stay and also while she had my two cats. My babies are wild, so I definitely condone her for being able to handle them. I was coming back in town late, and I would’ve had to pick my cats up at like 2am. She allowed me to come in the afternoon the next morning; however I was charged for almost two days to be able to do this. That’s the only issue I had. I’ll for sure be booking again for my future vacations.”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
“Alydia took such great care of our three boys!! One of our cats was recovering from surgery and required special needs and she took such good care of him. She sent lots of pictures and gave us frequent updates.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Athendale
Carla is a gem! She took such good care of our 2 outdoor rescue cats while we were gone & always sent us pics & updates while she was there with them. If you want someone who truly loves animals & not only feeds & waters them, but showers them with love & affection, then Carla is your gal. Peace of mind knowing our fur babies are as well taken care of when we're gone as when we're home, is huge for us, so we'll definitely be using Carla's services 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
