“First time using Rover. Beyond happy with the care my elderly cat received while I was away. Callie was responsive and kept us up to date daily. I would absolutely use her again in the future. FIVE STAR SERVICE!!!”


“Grayce was awesome with my cats!! She replied quickly to messages and left detailed notes during visits letting me know how my cats were doing and how much attention they were basking in while we were away! I would definitely book with Grayce again :)”

“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”

“Indigo provided excellent care for my cat and home while I was away. My cat was having a difficult time as we had recently lost his longtime companion. He was very happy and comfortable with Indigo.

I give her high marks for excellent communication, cat care, home care and for being responsible and trustworthy.”


About: Hi I’m Sravanti! Mom to 2 adorable cats (5 and 4) — I have plenty of experience taking care of cats. I love to play games and use treat puzzles to provide stimulation. I can also give medications, trim nails and even take them out for a walk! My younger cat Luna loves to walk and I take her out on a leash almost everyday. I also don’t mind cleaning/changing litter when needed. I also have some dog walking experience from volunteering at the NHSPCA (I also did plenty of cat care as a volunteer). I can recognize stress signals and respond appropriately. As someone who has had to travel frequently, I completely understand the limitations in taking our beloved pets with us and the need for someone to trust their care to. I promise to be that person for you, and take care of your pets in your stead until you return home :) I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets. I have a car and have no problem driving. I can make up to 4 visits a day for food and play. I will take plenty of pictures for updates. I have 2 cats myself (one of them is a very anxious little boy) and I’m very patient with all animals. I will be as little or as much involved as your pet would be comfortable with, taking care not to startle or spook them. I like to avoid loud noises or brisk movements, generally just go about doing food and water refills, any cleanup with litter etc and wait for your fur babies to approach. I also like to hold out my arm to let them sniff and decide if they want to engage further or not. As long they are interested, I’d be delighted to play games or just sit and cuddle for a while. And if there’s any special preferences from you, I’d be more than happy to incorporate those as well!
“Susan was the first sitter to get our cat to come out of hiding. She was responsive, paid attention to details and did a great job. I will certainly be reaching out to her again next time we need a sitter.”

“Did everything we requested and connected with Calvin and Hobbs. Both cats seemed to follow him all over the house and were fine. We will definely use Robert again when going away.”

About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!

“Matt was very good at taking care of our cat Pixie, all though she is very shy he was able to interact with her on several occasions which is next to impossible. We would highly recommend using Matt and would do so again if he`s available.”

About: I have been taking care of various animals and pets for my entire life. Over the course of 20 years, I have cared for a myriad of animals ranging from large dogs, small dogs, horses, cats, and many other farm animals for friends, family, and co-workers. I have also been hired for pet care that involved overnight home visits, dog-walks, and hosting pets in my home to care for over two weeks of time as needed. I am a teacher with my summers off, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I available for pet care during the week throughout various hours in the day time. I have a means of transportation and am able to safely transport your animals if needed. I have extra supplies of safety items possible needed for animals that is kept in my car as needed.
About: Hi there! I've grown up surrounded by animals, dogs, cats, even chinchillas! Helping my parents care for and train our dogs was one of my favorite parts of childhood, and that love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Lola who is not just my dog, but my best friend and most loyal companion. She loves her long morning walks and getting lost with me on hiking trails, but I think her favorite thing might just be snuggling on the couch. I rescued Lola from a shelter, and that experience inspired me to start volunteering with a nonprofit pit bull rescue. We're passionate about giving dogs in need a second chance and helping to change the negative stereotypes around pit bulls. Meeting new furry friends always brings me joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life! My own dog, Lola, keeps me on a consistent routine. We start every morning with a walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some cuddle time before I head to work. On my days off, I love taking her to new parks, hiking trails, or to families houses for some playtime with cousins. Pet care doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with furry friends, I naturally work pet care into my routine because animals have always been such a big part of my life. Caring for other pets while their families are away is just an extension of what I already do, and love doing every day! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in yours, my priority is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that sticks as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar setting. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and potty routines to playtime and bedtime rituals. I always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping your home clean and respected. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, or handle other light household tasks as needed! In My Home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated just like family! I have a dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots for naps, space to play, and a calm, safe atmosphere. My pup Lola is very well-socialized and gentle with other dogs. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and has their own space to eat, relax, and rest. I’ll also keep up with their usual schedule, dietary needs, medications, and, of course, give lots of love and attention! No matter where the care takes place, communication is key—I’ll always keep you updated with photos, notes, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you're away.

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.
