“We cannot recommend Tanya enough! She has looked after our three cats several times, including once for an extended vacation, and every time we’ve been thrilled with her care. Tanya is attentive, thorough, and genuinely caring. She takes the time to play with them, brush them, and check on their well-being. She keeps everything clean and organized, and it’s obvious she loves what she does. Coming home after our last trip, our boys were relaxed and calm, something that has never happened after a longer time away. We know Tanya does everything she can to make them feel comfortable while we’re gone, and it gives us total peace of mind knowing they’re in such capable hands. They’ve even been waiting for her at the door since we returned, they absolutely adore her! Tanya is, without a doubt, the best cat sitter we’ve ever had.”
“Nicole took care of my friend’s cat for a few days. It was an urgent situation and Nicole was there for us. I reached out to her for same-day drop off and she said to come right away. She took great care of my friend’s cat and made my friend feel comfortable by taking lots of photos and sharing feedback. I would HIGHLY recommend Nicole!!”

“Natalie was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. She was wonderful with our cat, Ellie Rose Princess, and it was clear she was very well cared for and got lots of attention. We came home to an immaculate house, which was such a nice bonus. Natalie went above and beyond, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Ellie Rose Princess and our home were in such good hands. We would absolutely use Natalie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

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.

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.
