“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”
“Mahsa was very quick in responding to my last minute request while I was travelling and my cat seemed to have really warmed up to her even at first visit. She is professional and attentive to specific requests and is ofcourse great with cats. I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again if needed. Thank you!”
“Our kitty, Luna, is normally very shy and hides under the couch. She immediately trusted Siqin and loved playing with her. I’m so glad we have someone we can trust and who Luna is comfortable with. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I currently have a small dog of my own and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve also participated in obedience training with my dogs, so I’m comfortable with basic commands, routines, and reinforcing good behavior. I’m responsible, attentive, energetic, and great at communicating with pet parents. I genuinely love animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting out of the house for some extra activity. I’d love to use that flexibility to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and earn a little extra income along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with walks and drop-in visits while still being reliable and consistent. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine a priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to their behavior and personality and will give them plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and activity they need while keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated and communicate throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing
“Andy is kind and gentle with our tripod Xander. Our dog is always so excited when he sees Andy. He has leash reactivity and Andy has been understanding and capable. Andy has been flexible with our schedule. We are so happy we chose Andy to be our dog walker.”

“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”
“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was 4 years old and have been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My family has relied on me to feed, walk, and groom our dogs. I can take care of dogs at any life stages. My own dog is a senior (13 yrs old) and I have been caring for him since he was a puppy. I have 3 years of experience dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting for clients professionally. I'm currently in a grad program at CSUEB, and am typically available for most afternoons/evenings. I’m available on the weekends and to house sit as well. If you need me to care for your pet inside your own home, I would require to meet with you and your pet first to go over your pet's specific care instructions. I will maintain open and clear communication with you during the time I am caring for your pet and provide updates on how they are doing.
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I currently work from home, so any pet I babysit will have my full attention, lots of love, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away! I’m home all day — giving your cat plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I go out sometimes during the afternoon, it’s usually for a bit of exercise, dancing, or volunteering, Being home most of the time allows me to create a safe, engaging, and loving environment for your feline friend, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I live in a single family house with fenced yard with my husband—just the two of us—right in front of a park. Our home is a calm and safe space for cats, with plenty of cozy spots to relax. I can create a personal area for your cat if they need their own space, or they are welcome to lounge in the living room or stay with me in my room while I work. I always respect each cat’s comfort level and routine.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
“Darcy was one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! She followed all of our instructions and was very communicative. We have a shy kitty and reactive dog, yet she made sure to meet each of their individual needs. Darcy went above and beyond for our babies and we can’t thank her enough. We will definitely be booking again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brightside
Maryam was incredibly attentive and caring during the holidays. She visited Dora every day, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She even helped groom Dora and brush her fur, which I really appreciated. It was very reassuring to know that Dora was getting not just food and basic care, but also attention and companionship while we were away. I’m very grateful to Maryam for her patience and kindness, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
