“Molly did a fantastic job dropping in on my cat. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and I always had the feeling my cat was in good hands while I traveled.”

“Emily was awesome! She took great care of Hope and sent lots of pictures and comments, which I really appreciated because I am always anxious about traveling and leaving her alone. I also really appreciated her willingness to roll with changes when our vet prescribed a new medication two days before I was leaving and I reached out with an additional request that she administer it. Super grateful for the great care she took of my kitty!”

“I can’t recommend Jordan enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my cats while I was away and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She sent frequent updates and the cutest photos, which really helped me feel connected even from afar. It was clear my cats were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Jordan went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for her care and attention to detail. Will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your animals. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. As a medical student, I’m responsible, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific instructions and routines. I’m also a pet owner myself, so I know how much peace of mind good communication and regular updates can provide. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and care that I give my own. As a medical student, my schedule varies week to week, which gives me flexibility for pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s normal routine and will always be upfront about my availability. I especially enjoy spending my free time with animals, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and company while you’re away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow feeding, medication, litter box, walking, and other care instructions closely and pay attention to changes in behavior or routine. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“My cat was so comfortable staying with Liam and he sent photos of him petting my cat. I felt at ease as my cat seems really safe with him and was so well taken care of. I highly recommend anyone needing cat boarding to use Liam. Communication was top tier and my cat didn't want to leave.”

“Hannah was amazing to our Gritty Kitty and took such good care of him! He had all the pets, food, and treats he could ever wish for and looked happy in all the pictures she sent!”

About: I’m a loving cat mom to my 7-year-old calico Sooki. I grew up around animals and also volunteered at PAWS for about a year before moving out of the area. I have experience administering medication and inhalers. My childhood cat has severe asthma so I know the signs and symptoms to look out for when they need their inhaler and how to safely administer. Each animal is so unique in their own way and requires special attention and care. Understanding your pet and what motivates them can be the key to a great pet sitting experience. Tell me about your fur baby - their needs, their motivation, their quirks, and I will make sure to give them the best possible care. I currently work 3 - 12-hour shifts a week so I have plenty of time on my off days to hang out with and care for your pets. I am patient and understanding of all personality types - from an energetic puppy to a chill senior cat. I like to get to know an animal and their quirks, habits, etc in order to build trust.
“Tamika is a fantastic cat sitter! She does a great job with our cat and I always feel comfortable when I know Tamika is watching her. She also helped us out this time by doing extra things such as picking up packages that were delivered. She’s always communicative and we appreciate all she does to respect our home and take great care of our cat.”

“Laura was absolutely amazing ! She will be cuties sitter going forward. This was my first time using a sitter service and Cuties first time being around someone other than me and my daughter. She was so welcoming. From the moment i came in her home i knew it was the fit. Cutie immediately felt comfortable. She took note of every single he liked and made a home away from home for him. She made she sure send pictures and videos through the day. I literally did not have to worry about his care with him. I am be pleased and so thankful ! I also needed to make last minute extensions for his care because i was in the middle of a move and Laura made it a priority to accommodate.”

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 .
