“Amanda took such good care of our kitty and home while we were away! She was super thorough, gave great updates and I could tell Maxine warmed up to her right away. 🩷 Our place was in great shape when we returned and our girl seemed very happy. Thank you again!”
“Cameron did a wonderful job looking after our cats while we were away on a long trip! He was communicative, flexible, and sent lots of pics. It is clear that Ferdi and Fiona enjoyed his company, and we would happily have him back to watch them anytime!”
“Aleksandra was wonderful! She took great care of the cats and went above and beyond taking care of the house! Thank you so much for everything!”
“Thomas was able to watch my cat on very short notice. He is very punctual, meticulous, and caring! I absolutely recommend him and will be reaching out to him for future cat sitting.”
About: I've been a pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors for many years. As someone who grew up with dogs and currently has several cats, I am skilled in caring for a range of dog sizes and animals with various personalities and needs. I work from home, which allows me lots of time to devote to animal care. I take daily evening walks and would love to take your pet with me. I provide house-sitting and during the day animal care, and I love spending time with animals in fenced-in yards and/or going on plenty of walks—whatever your pet prefers! I work from home, so am able to provide midday walks and constant company.
“Yeji is a great sitter! She is very responsive and took great care of our cat, Dickie. We will definitely ask her to look after Dickie the next time we need a sitter!”
About: I supported and dog-sat a recently adopted dog from an abusive environment over the past four years. Happy to work with anxious dogs or dogs that need lots of quiet time and space. Patient with different needs. I work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays and can shift responsibilities around to visit before and after work and at lunch, or stay during the day to work. I'm very careful with cats or dogs that try to escape and experienced with keeping them in when I enter or exit. I'm watchful for dogs picking up food on walks and generally watchful for safety.
“Ash was incredible with our spicy cat! She sent lots of pictures, was super responsive, and really great about dealing with his unique needs. We were gone for a week and when we came back the house was spotless. She even washed the sheets and towels and re-made the guest bed before she left. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Jordan did a fabulous job taking care of our cat. She sent us photos and notes on how Chip was doing each day. We could tell from the pictures that he was content and very happy with Jordon’s drop in visits!! We will be requesting Jordan again in the near future as her communication skills and punctuality are top notch. We highly recommend Jordan for your fur babies care.”
“Ashley was the absolute best. It was our first time leaving our cat alone and we were very nervous since our cat is very shy. To our very pleasant surprise, our cat came out and interacted with Ashley in every visit. Ashley was very patient and took very good care of our little ‘Tina. Ashley showed up promptly at every appointment and was very patient and attentive with Tina’s needs. Highly recommend.”
About: Cats and dogs have always been the fur babies of my family. I have a bunch of dog cousins and I've raised and cared for several cats in my life through all stages of life. I work 8 hr shifts (6:30 am-3pm or 1pm-9pm). Outside of work, typically would run errands, but if i could, i would be able to walk or pet sit. I have worked full time and pet sit in the past. It would be great to pet sit because I love pets, but don't have them here in the city. Because I don't have pets here, however I would be able to pet sit either at my place or the clients place. I have a safe one bedroom apartment so I would always be near the fur baby if I am hosting. There are no other pet that could potentially cause discomfort for the client pet. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but i can also be patient and wait for them to come to me. I also have skills to administer topical and oral medicine if necessary.

“Lorena took great care of my cat while I was away. She shared photos of him and gave me updates via his visit card. She also communicated quickly leading up to the visit. I would book Lorena again!”
“Isabel was the best with my kitties! This was my first time going out of town for a weekend since moving out here, and she really helped ease my anxiety. She sent daily photos, made sure they were well loved, and was very flexible. I would definitely recommend her — she’s reliable and will love your fur babies like her own.”
“Alexis was fantastic with our 14-week-old puppy, Mallard! She was extremely professional, personable, and genuinely attentive to his routine and needs. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand, arrived early for his stay, and kept us updated throughout the evening. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Isabel was fantastic as always. She sent so many pictures and I know my cats had an absolute blast with her. She always provides very thorough updates and I feel a little better leaving them alone when she’s taking care of them. Would definitely work with her again!
Liza always takes the time to love on my kitty the way she needs it best. She is accommodating and how she communicates about my kitty makes me know without a doubt that she loves my kitty just as much as if she were her own. That is priceless! Liza will always be my go-to sitter.
Mia was absolutely amazing with my kitty. She was patient and understanding when he was being shy, and took great care with his food and other needs while I was away. She sent updates and photos, kept the apartment clean, and has been just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely book her again.
This is our third time booking with Sarah and we couldn’t be happier with her services! She takes excellent care of our two cats, even our skittish boy is in love with her. We look forward to her photos and stories of our kitties after each visit. Highly recommend Sarah to care for your pets!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
