“Julie was great with my cat, Murphy, who can be a bit of a grouch with new people. Julie played with her and snuggled her (when allowed), and kept her well fed and all her accoutrements tidy. Seriously—2 weeks away and my apartment did NOT smell like cat. Highly recommend!”
“Madelynn was just wonderful! She saved the day and accepted a last minute holiday cat sit for us and she did an amazing job. Super communicative, great info and pics throughout, friendly and responsible. Would definitely book with Madelynn again if we can!”
“Avary is absolutely amazing! Such a sweet person that loves animals and with patience and a few Churus was able to win my cat Hanna over! Avary sent us multiple pictures and checked every detail with us to make sure we knew our kitty was taken care of. Thank you Avary! 100% would recommend 🥰🫶🏼”
“Lori was fantastic. She was very communicative and she took exceptional care of my 18 year old cat, Toute Sweet. I would definitely recommend her. If I need a cat sitter again, I will contact Lori again! sarah”
“Charlotte is our repeat sitter and has managed to bring our shy, timid cat out of her shell after just two sittings! Charlotte provides excellent updates, pictures and videos. Our kitties are in great hands when she watches them!”
“Alexandra was extremely reliable and friendly with my cats (they really took a liking to her!). She spoiled them with threats and she spoiled me with plenty of photos while I was away so that I didn’t miss them too much. I highly recommend Alexandra if you want a stress-free trip while you’re away from your pets!”
“This was our first time using Rover but Paul made the process easy and gave us peace of mind with how thorough he was asking questions and taking notes for what our cat needed. He was always on time and even spent extra time over his visits to encourage our shy senior cat to open up to him. By the end she was greeting him and even letting him pet her, which is quite a feat! He was respectful and communicative at all times. We were referred to him by another client of his and so glad we were.”
“Laura was a pleasure to work with! She did a thorough job with cat check-ins while I was away on a weeklong trip including providing detailed descriptions of her visits and photos. Would definitely trust her with my fur baby again!”
“Afiya was an incredible cat sitter while I was away on a work trip! She was always timely, communicative, and an all-around pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using her again when I am away next!”
“Claire is a fabulous pet sitter. Trust her with my fur ball any time! She’s very communicative as well and provides lovely updates which is great when one is far away worrying about one’s pet.”
“Harriet was amazing with our kitten! We only were gone for a short stay but her communication and responsiveness was reassuring and appreciated. I will definitely book with her in the future, very happy with her care and services!”
“Can't recommend Yinan H enough! It was my cats’ first time with her and they immediately warmed to her and were very relaxed. Even my shy boy cat came out to greet her. Everything was taken care of and she left detailed notes, which was super helpful and put my mind at ease while I was away. I’ll def be asking her for help again.”
“James was very communicative and did an excellent job taking care of my two very shy cats while I was away for Christmas. I appreciated the daily updates and that he stopped by to get the tour of my apartment beforehand!”
“Hannah was wonderful with Sylvester! We really enjoyed all the updates from her, and really appreciated her good communication 💖 So lucky to have her taking care of our baby!”
“Thanks fire looking after Hazy, while she was a little fussy with you she did relax quickly when I got home which shows she want to stressed while I was gone.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brooklyn
Sophia was great with my two cats Emmy and Ellie! She sent detailed summaries after each visit. Emmy has background medical issues which unexpectedly flared up during this trip and Sophia was extremely attentive and helpful in keeping me updated and providing information for an eventual vet visit. Would absolutely book again
Jihyun was phenomenal. I could tell from the (many, hilarious) photos she sent that my cats were having a blast with her, and it seemed like she was having a great time with them as well. Highly recommend her services, with one caveat: please do not book her when I’m traveling, because I want her to be available for my cats
I had a wonderful experience with Pei Hsuan while I was traveling! She was reliable, attentive, and took great care of my cat. She followed all of my feeding and care instructions carefully, kept everything clean, and made sure my cat was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands.
Summer was superb, I highly recommend her! She was certain to send multiple photos and update the visit cards with lots of details. She has a lovely disposition and my cat was so happy and healthy when I return from my trip. I will definitely book her again. Thank you, Summer!
Ashley was a phenomenal pet sitter! She was communicative and patient. Our kitties really took a liking to her, even Kali who’s a little shy. Her thorough visit summaries gave us some peace of mind while away and she was quick to inform us of any issues or if she had any questions. I would highly recommend Ashley; she was friendly, efficient and very caring. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.

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 .

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 .
