“Anke was amazing! 😻 She took very good care of our kitties and was always checking in with us and sending awesome picture of our boys. She went above and beyond for them and they were very happy when we got home. Will definitely book her again! Thank you Anke!!”
“Zola is great! My cat is skittish and my partner’s cat is more outgoing, and she was able to give each the right amount of attention. By the end of our trip, they were right at home with Zola Her updates and fun photos were much appreciated as well; would rebook again!”
“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”
“We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my fur baby. Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciate her kindness and attention to detail, and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a De Anza College nursing student and a lifelong dog and animal lover. I’m reliable, routine-focused, and confident caring for a wide range of dogs, including high-energy pups and dogs who need calmer, structured walks. I gained hands-on experience caring for a sweet but reactive Golden Retriever while working as an au pair in Germany, so I’m very attentive to leash safety, triggers, and keeping walks smooth and safe. I’m also raising my own Golden Retriever puppy, Sunny, so I’m comfortable managing energetic dogs and staying consistent with routines. I’m detail-oriented, happy to follow your instructions closely, and I can give oral medications if needed. I’m also gentle with senior dogs who need a slower pace. You can expect thoughtful updates, photos, and calm, consistent care. Pet care fits into my weekly routine. I plan my class/study schedule around my Rover bookings so I can be consistent and on time. On weekdays, I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening visits/walks (my calendar reflects my exact availability). I prioritize routine, so once we agree on times, I stick to them. I also build in flexibility for longer walks, extra potty breaks, and unexpected needs, and I communicate early if anything changes. Trust and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every pet like my own. In a client’s home: • I will make sure to follow your routine (feeding, potty breaks, walk style, and house rules). • I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes/harnesses before leaving. • Walks are calm and controlled: I avoid risky situations, keep safe distance from triggers, and don’t allow off-leash time unless you’ve explicitly approved a secure area. (I never take pets to dog parks unless the owner requests it and we’ve discussed it in advance.) • I keep your home tidy and secure (lights/locks, wiping paws if needed, quick cleanup after meals). In my home (if boarding/daycare): • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. • I separate pets during meals/treats to prevent resource guarding. • I use positive reinforcement and respect each pet’s comfort level. • I can accommodate crate routines if your pet is crate-trained. Communication: • You’ll get photo/video updates and a short note each visit. • If anything unusual happens (vomiting, injury, appetite changes, behavior shifts), I contact you right away and follow your instructions. • I’m comfortable giving oral medications and caring for seniors who need a gentler pace. I would also prefer a Meet & Greet so I can learn your pet’s routine and make sure we’re a great match.
“Stacey is our go to whenever we need someone to help us with our feline family when we must be out of town! She really goes above and beyond to help take care of our pet and always shows extra love and care to our cat. When we know Stacey is caring for him we know he will be treated like family. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends if they ever need a pet sitter! She always adapts flawlessly to any strange situation that may come up with getting into the home and is very knowledgeable about animals. If I could give ten stars I would!”
“Laura was AMAZING!! We were gone on a long trip away from our very nervous kitty and she took such great care of her. Our cat loved her and was so happy when we came back. She followed our very detailed, over the top instructions and spent the full hour snuggling with our cat every visit. She also very graciously managed our house things when we were gone like plants, trash, and bringing in packages. She was responsive, super detailed in her recaps, and amazing to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will go above and beyond!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, and needs. I also have a senior pet of my own, so I understand how important it is to stick to a consistent routine, medication schedule, and daily care. I’m especially patient and careful with senior pets and understand that they may need a little extra time, attention, and reassurance. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications as instructed, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday care depending on the timing. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines to help them feel comfortable and keep their schedule as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with an onsite dog park, giving dogs a convenient and safe place to get fresh air, exercise, and play. I’m also comfortable keeping pets on their usual routines, including feeding, walks, and anything else that’s needed per your instructions. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“Lexi is awesome and my cat loved her. She took care of everything I asked and sent updates. Lexi is super personable, kind, and caring. It made traveling 200% less stressful because I knew kitty was being loved.”
About: I’ve taken care of small and medium sized dogs for many years. I am dog Mom to 2 pups, a Pom mix and a Staffy mix, and cat Mom to 4. I have experience working with all age groups from puppies to seniors. Friends and family always look to me when they are in need of a sitter. I work full time with a flexible hybrid schedule where my time is split between home and on site so I able to drop in before or after work and depending on location, mid-day. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I will follow any special care, feeding, training, or care instructions that you have to keep your fur babies on schedule, safe, and cared for.
“Mary did a great job taking care of our cat Miss Kitty and had a lot of attention to detail while giving our cat two medications a day. She had great communication and we felt confident our cat was well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Highly recommend! Chris has watched my cat several times and has been wonderful every time. Chris is very responsive and sends lots of photos during each visit, which I really appreciate.”
“Olga took very good care of my cat, Koda. She was very flexible and sent updates and pictures everyday. My cat is usually shy and takes time to warm up but with Olga, Koda was open to her petting him on the first meeting! I would definitely rebook with Olga and Boris!”
“Really great experience with Yingjie. She watched our cat for 18 days and kept us updated by sending daily photos and videos. Anytime we had a question she was very easy to get a hold of. She was also was very proactive about communication. Highly recommended and we will definitely book with her again!”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”
“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”

Zola was amazing with Darcy and Ivy! She was so attentive and sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. The cats were happy, well fed, and the litter was always clean. She was also very respectful of our home. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Katryna was wonderful with our two ragdoll boys. She was very easy to communicate with, sent us thoughtful updates and photos, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’d absolutely love to work with her again in the future and would highly recommend her!
Lexi is super sweet and kind. She is very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to different cat needs and overall pet care. My cat has special diet needs and Lexi knows exactly what to do, she asks very important questions and communicates well! So lucky to have found her.
Marlo was so great!! She dropped in twice a day for a couple days to feed and play with our two kitties. She was punctual and followed instructions well. She also sent updates with photos each visit to reassure our kitties were in good hands which gave us extreme peace of mind 🙏🏼 thank you Marlo!! We’ll see you next time 😊
Mallory took great care of our pets! She was on time, communicative and left detailed notes from all of her visits. Loved hearing about the silly antics our cat and dog got into!

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.

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 .

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.
