“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!”
“Ziying is a wonderful cat sitter! She was incredibly helpful when my automatic feeder malfunctioned and was very flexible about rescheduling our appointment so she could help me out first. She was responsive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her!”
“Amy was incredible! She took such great care of my cat and home. She really went above and beyond to ensure my cat was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her and I am already talking about my next booking with her. Thank you again, Amy you are amazing.”
“Shirley took care of our cat pretty well. Our cat is very shy but she manages to play with and pet him. Shirley pays attention closely and communicates very well during the entire process when she visits our cat. She even helped us to pick up the mails, water the plants and handle the garbage. We will definitely use her service again next time when we are out of town. Thank you very much Shirley so that we can travel without worry!”
“Su has been an excellent cat sitter! She stayed in our apartment with two kitties while my husband and I were on international trip for 10 days. The cats loved her and we could tell they felt so comfortable with Su right away. Su is very reliable and I felt that our cats were in great care. Would 100% recommend her and we hope to continue booking with Su in the future.”
“Sara and Raymond were great cat sitters. Very attentive, professional, responsive and detail-oriented. I felt my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book them again and highly recommend!”
“Myat has been flexible and proactive and let us concentrate on our trip knowing the kitties were well taken care of and loved! She made sure they had everything they needed and also anything they could want :)”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Andy is an awesome, dependable pet sitter! We couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention given to our pet. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such good hands. We highly recommend Andy!”
“Jenna is from our neighborhood so we selected her for drop-in visits during our absence. Jenna went above and beyond in her care for our cats, so we highly recommend her services. Thank you so much Jenna for taking care of our lovely cats!”
“Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”
About: I have over a year of experience with caring for two adult cats while their owner is away on business trips. Care includes feeding, cooking cleaning litter box, and spending time giving them affection. I also care for my mom’s 3 dogs and 3 cats while she is away on vacation. Care includes walks, feeding, administering medications, and giving lots of love. I will work my schedule and daily routine around your pet care needs. Caring for your pets is my priority, as I am focused on providing your animals the care they need. I will follow any expectations and rules you have regarding your pet’s environment and needs. Whether it’s crates, feeding, walks, medications, or general care, I am focused on providing whatever they need and following your house rules. It is important that you can trust the person coming into your home and caring for your animals.
“Raheela did an excellent job ensuring my cat was comfortable and happy. Her regular updates and photos reassured me throughout my cat's stay, making my time away worry-free. Highly recommend for exceptional care!”
About: As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, cats are a central part of my life. I routinely pet-sit for friends during their travels, which has given me extensive experience managing multi-cat households. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and know how to handle everything from energetic play to managing separate feeding schedules and keeping litter boxes pristine. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs time to warm up, they are in safe hands. For the pups, I am all about staying active! I am the go-to hiking and jogging buddy for my friend’s Golden Retriever, so I am well-versed in handling various breeds. My flexible work-from-home schedule blends seamlessly with pet care, allowing me to easily step away for reliable morning cat drop-ins or mid-day dog walks while giving your pets the consistent attention they need. As an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, tennis, and Pilates, I have the natural stamina and energy to match active breeds like Golden Retrievers, Doodles, or Corgis on the trails, yet I deeply cherish the quiet, grounding moments—whether that's practicing a workout with a kitty on the mat or providing patient companionship for a shy cat. Because I love to travel myself, I understand exactly how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I am dedicated to providing the ultimate peace of mind with prompt communication and plenty of happy photo updates. When caring for your cats in the comfort of your own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routines to minimize any stress while you are away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring that everything from meticulous litter box scooping to pristine feeding areas is kept exactly as you like it. I know that cats are creatures of habit who feel safest in their own territory, so I tailor my visits entirely to their unique comfort levels—whether that means engaging an energetic breed with interactive toys, giving gentle chin scratches, or simply offering a quiet, reassuring presence nearby for more independent kitties. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your cats are receiving dedicated, loving care, complete with detailed updates and plenty of photos after every single visit.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Growing up, I had four cats, and still do cat-care on weekends. I have more recently pet-sat for dogs, and taken both smaller and larger dogs on walks (from a Shih-Poo to a Bernese Mountain Dog). I will take care of your fur baby like I would take care of my own. I just graduated college, so I can spend the majority of my week walking and pet-sitting for all of your needs. Although I am set to one-day book at the earliest, I am open to same-day inquiries if needed. When taking care of cats, I love to let them warm up to me on their own, cuddle, and play when they want to! I will always take lots of pictures and give your pets lots of love.

About: At 19 I decided to become a dog groomer. Attended a grooming academy for 9 months part-time. Now going on 15 years Ive worked in Hostipal, salon and mobile settings. Clients have not only trusted me with giving them spa treatments, but have also allowed me into there homes to watch over there babies. I enjoy creating relationships with owners and their pets. I feel honored when trust is built over time and I get peep of excitement when pets see me. Working in the pet industry Ive learned and dealt with all types of pets. From senior to anxiety prone. I believe my calm demeanor allows me to build trust with nervous or anxious pets. I currently work part time so I have about 3 to 4 days that are open a week. The days are work are typically morning till early evening so I could possibly come by after a shift. I will follow your instructions on how and when your pets needs are met on a daily basis. If I am unsure, I will reach out and only when given your consent will I proceed.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 86% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 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.
