“Lidia rescued my cat from another sitter/bad situation. Knowing that my cat had been traumatized, she was very sensitive to my cat’s needs, was kind, gentle, and also kept me in constant touch and with as many pictures and updates as I needed to feel my cat was safe. 12/10 - Lidia is amazing ❤️”
“Courtney did an outstanding job for us. Our cat was very happy and relaxed when we returned from a week away, which has not always been the case. She did a great job with maintaining food, water and litter; and sent us daily photos of him enjoying some attention. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah did an amazing job looking after my ~9 month old cat while I was gone! She sent lots of photo updates to let me know that things were okay, and the my baby seemed very well taken care of. She cleaned the litter box and gave her lots of fresh water, just like I asked. I would definitely use her services again!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.”
“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”
“Christopher was amazing! Our anxious cat came right out to him and loved him! His updates were detailed and he kept us updated on everything! I’ll definitely book again!”
“Jessica was wonderful with my cat! She is extremely reliable, I did not have to worry at all while I was away. My cat is on the anxious side but I could tell he warmed up to her immediately from the photos she sent! I would recommend her to anyone”
“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“This is the second time Leah has watched my cats while I’m out of town and she is definitely my go-to cat sitter! She is thorough, gives my cats lots of love, sends great pics of them, and my cats love her. I totally trust her taking care of them while I am out of town and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Sylvia was wonderful!! Provided great information and photos. The cats loved her, they don't usually come out for sitters but they adored her and it was clear she made an effort to cultivate a relationship with them. I definitely plan to book with her again.”
“Erica was amazing with our cats, sent lots of photos and even took care if some house-sitting things while we were away visiting family. One of our cats needs medicine(inhaler) which she administered like a pro. Absolutely did us a solid by even covering christmas day! House was clean and cats were happy when we returned. Shes 100% our go-to sitter!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of Ollie again! She always gives him so much attention, playtime, and lots of love, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for while I’m away. This time, she went above and beyond and even did a little photo shoot with him — the pictures she took were absolutely fantastic! It was such a fun and thoughtful surprise, and I loved getting to see his personality captured in so many adorable photos. Ollie has really grown to love Stephanie, and it’s easy to see why. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust so completely with him. I would absolutely recommend her and will continue booking her whenever I need someone to care for Ollie!
Sylvia was absolutely wonderful. She’s very communicative and reliable and took wonderful photos of my cat each day. I felt very comforted knowing she was taking such great care of him while I was away. Also, my apartment building requires a fob and has somewhat complicated access and she was able to easily navigate all of those logistics. I will definitely request Sylvia in the future - thank you!
Brittany was fantastic as my cat sitter taking great care of my "Babba" as I just returned from a 5 day trip. Her love of cats, attention to details, promptness, tidiness, etc., etc. was exceptional! She is also so nice and easy going. I highly recommend Brittany for anyone looking for a reliable, trusting, kitty loving sitter.

Finding someone you trust to care for your pets is never easy, but Quintunya has been everything I could have hoped for in a pet sitter. She has been caring for my two cats, Pudd and Puma, for the past year. From the very beginning, Quintunya has treated my fur babies with so much love, patience, and kindness. It's obvious that she genuinely cares about them. Knowing that Pudd and Puma are safe, loved, and receiving so much attention while I'm away gives me incredible peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Quintunya. She is truly one of a kind, and Pudd, Puma, and I are so lucky to have her in our lives.

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.
