“If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would! Alissa was signed up to watch only our cat. Two days before our trip, our dog was attacked by another dog and she kindly ended up watching our cat and dog, stopping by 4 times a day with very detailed notes about each visit. Several days into the trip, our dog developed stress-induced colitis and required a couple trips to the vet. Ultimately we ended up coming home early from our trip to care for our very sick dog. Alissa was incredible! Even our veterinarian’s office told us how wonderful and knowledgeable about our dog she was when she brought him dog in. Overall it was a stressful situation but Alissa was so incredibly kind, professional and an excellent communicator. It made such a huge difference in what was otherwise a very difficult situation. We cannot speak highly enough of her!”
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
“Eva Giulia was very easy to communicate with and flexible when I had realized I had mistakenly booked the wrong dates at first. She was gentle and friendly with my cat. I’m looking forward to rebooking her!”
“Tooba was very communicative, kinda, and understanding of a mix-up. But, most importantly, she was able to coax our skeptical furbag out from under the bed to say hello. I felt very well-cared for!”

“Addison didn’t a wonderful job looking after my cats and home. The cats looked happy and the home was in great shape on my return. She was great at communicating and I would definitely request her in the future.”
“Elizabeth took care of our two cats while we were away for five days and we couldn't be happier. She is kind, responsive, and communicative. She sent us some great photos while we were away! I highly recommend her!”
“Abi was super to work with. She was communicative, sharing updates and pics daily; she did the job well without having a lot of questions or concerns; and most importantly I had the feeling she took care of my cat as I would have. I would 100% engage her again in future opportunities.”

“Nicole was fabulous! We have an almost 12-year old dog who can be a little skittish about having his harness put on. Nicole got him all setup and took him out on a walk where he was able to stretch his legs and sniff to his heart's content. Great photos and follow up. Excited to book with her again!”

“Lauren was a fantastic sitter who gave us great updates on our furbaby while we were out of town along with sweet photos letting us know he was in good hands. We have an older cat who requires quite a bit of social time during his visits and Lauren was always willing to give him the attention he demands. Highly recommend!”

My cat has been a resilient solo girl whenever I go on vacation; though recently, she's needed a revamped feeding schedule. Taylor took incredible care of my girl with this new feeding plan (and assuaging my newfound worries) - coming 2x a day to feed her and learning how to use my automatic wet food feeder to ensure my girl gets an early-morning snack to calm her sensitive stomach. Definitely recommend, but not when I need her ;)
Kelly was great to work with! She took on my last minute need as well as the unexpected add-on of two additional pets. She was also super patient with my slow response time due to a family emergency. The 2 cats and 2 high energy crazy teenage kittens were very well cared for - Kelly sent lots of photos and an update every day which was comforting. She was also very punctual. Will absolutely hire her again!
Ria did a great job taking care of Stormy. she handled all the feeding and enrichment tasks perfectly. She was able to quickly establish a good rapport with Stormy, which makes all the difference in the world. She was punctual and sent me session reports and photos after each visit. I highly recommend Ria for any cat-sitting task. Her approach is friendly, thoughtful, and professional.
Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.
Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)
Maren was just wonderful!! She took perfect care of my cat, Sophie, who is now demanding more love from her mom after all the love that Maren gave her, lol! This was my first time using Maren as a sitter and as long as she stays in the pet-sitting business, I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Maren!
Jacob was FANTASTIC! He was proactive, attentive, communicated clearly and made sure our senior kitty had all of her medical needs met while we were away. He left everything neat and tidy, and even brought packages that got delivered inside for us. I could not be happier, and will definitely reach out if we need a kitty sitter again 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 .
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
