“Gianna was a super cat-sitter! She was timely and responsive to texts and really seemed to connect well with our kitten, Bubba. Gianna did everything that we asked of her (food, water, litter box, playing toys, sending a picture during her visit) and even left us some things for Bubba and a sweet note for us when we got home. If I could give her more than five stars I would. I hope to ask her back again the next time we need someone to stop in for him! Gianna was a real find!!!”
“Katia was a literal godsend for us. This was our first time trying Rover and having someone stop over to care for our cats while on vacation. This may be the first time in years where we literally had no stress regarding the care our cats were receiving. Katia was on time for every appt., and kept us updated throughout our whole trip. Katia will definitely be our go to cat sitter for any future getaways.”
About: Hi, I'm Shania! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you've come to the right place. — I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and a cat of my own, and my family has frequently cared for friends' pets while they were away. Those experiences taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. — I currently have a dog; his name is Sport, and he is 15 years old, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and consistency are–especially with senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I'm happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable. — When your pet is with me, they won't just be "watched." They'll receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is always my top priority. — I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. — I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️ 📆 I'm currently a full-time college student, but I carefully schedule my availability to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. • Fridays and weekends are completely open for bookings. • During the summer, I'm available throughout the week as well. From 8 am to 10:30 pm. • I never overbook because I want every pet to receive personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you have questions about scheduling or special requests, feel free to message me! My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very walkable, with plenty of grassy areas perfect for walks, sniffing adventures, and exercise. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I'll make sure they have a calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or your cat prefers lounging in a sunny spot, I'll make sure they have a comfortable stay.
“Eileen did everything we asked of her and gave us a detailed description of each visit. She sent us lots of pictures of our cat, which we loved so much since we miss him when we’re away! I will definitely use Eileen’s services again!”
“Alyssa was very thoughtful and took great care of our cats. They were immediately comfortable with her and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with animals. She also managed our older cat’s multiple medications very well!”
“Joanne took excellent care of my cats and they absolutely adored her. Its not uncommon for my cats to hide from new people but they warmed up to her immediately.”
About: Hello! My name’s Selena, and I’m a medical student who genuinely loves animals. I’ll care for your pet like my own and always provide reliable, attentive care. I will also keep you updated periodically with messages and send you detailed Rover cards! (: I offer flexible dog walks and drop-in visits before or after class and on every other weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow their routine carefully and send updates with photos after every visit so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have been a pet owner to most animals over 30 years. I have experience in all breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I love to play with them in the yard, I make sure they have water at all times and I stick with their schedule for eating. Animals are like my children though I do have human older children too. I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have had many dogs over the years and even a few cats. When my children were young they each had their own guinea pig and chicken. Yes I said chicken.!! I recently bought an alpaca who lives on a beautiful farm and I go and visit him often. My main job I work from home but my pets are never by themselves for longer than 4-5 hours. I have owned pets my whole adult life and could never see myself not having this wonderful responsibility! I make sure when arriving at a clients house that I greet each pet. Then we got outside for potty break and playtime. I normally stay about 30 minutes. I make sure they have fresh water and give them a treat if allowed.
“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! I used to work for a pet store but I now work at a veterinary office! I’m currently working full time at a veterinary office but I am free most weekends to stop by and check on your fur babies! 🐾🩷 I love my cats as if they are my own children, so I will make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own!
About: What sets me apart is my background in veterinary medicine and animal care. I have over five years of experience working with animals and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant and Customer Service Representative at an animal hospital. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medications or extra attention. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for potential health concerns, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine due to having a structured schedule that allows me to reliably plan around animal care. I work Monday through Friday from 3–9 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–1 PM, which leaves me available in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays for consistent pet visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m very organized with scheduling, allowing me to ensure each pet receives care on time and maintains their normal routine. In my client’s home, I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided, and I pay close attention to each pet’s normal behaviors so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or energy. Creating a calm, familiar environment by respecting the pet’s space and allowing them to interact on their own terms is my priority, especially for more shy or anxious animals. Communication is important to me when it comes to my own animals, so I provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they’re away.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I understand how important it is to find someone dependable who will treat your pet like family. For 12 wonderful years, I shared my home with my beloved cat. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little things that keep cats happy and healthy. After losing him, I’m not quite ready to welcome another cat into my home, but I would love the opportunity to care for yours and continue doing something that has always brought me joy. I currently offer drop-in visits for cats. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend quality time playing or simply keeping them company, and carefully follow any special instructions you provide. Every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to let them set the pace—whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. I’ll always be honest about my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can give my full attention. I believe exceptional pet care is built on trust, communication, and reliability. I’ll treat your home with respect, care for your cat as if they were my own, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member! I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can provide excellent care for! I believe great pet care starts with trust and communication. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how things are going!
“Haleigh is great with my shy cats. They let her pet them, and they even took treats from her, which is a huge step for them! She also medicated my cat easily. Will definitely book again!”
“Chris was great! He communicated readily during the entire time we were away. We felt like our two cats were in great hands. We will definitely use Chris again when we go away.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and household pets my whole life, and I specialize in cat care! I’m dedicated to keeping your pets comfortable and safe. I’m working part time currently. Throughout the week I’m available for drop-ins, with my only non-negotiable days being Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm happy to do overnight stays for any other weekday.

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 .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
