“Jennifer is our go to sitter for when we are out of town! She always lets us know how our kitty is doing and sends cute pictures! I would highly recommend Jennifer if your furry friend needs someone to visit them!”
“Anna took incredible care of my cat while I was away. She was patient while he warmed up, hung out with him, and made sure he had food/water/clean litter box. So grateful to have found her!”
“Kaylie has been taking care of my kitties. She is very punctual, responsive and surely seems to like animals. Great communication and easy set up! She also made sure I got every single update with pictures. My cats were posing for the pictures which clearly indicates they are comfortable around Kaylie. I am planning to hire Kaylie again! Thank you, Kaylie, for your help!”
“The cats love when Solace comes and checks in on them. Solace always goes above and beyond for them and considering there are 5 of them to keep tabs on at once, they can get quite difficult sometimes! But they are kept very happy. Seriously — Solace is the best sitter we’ve ever had.”
“She’s been amazing to work with! We have very particular cats, and Nicole took care of them very well. She was very responsive and transparent on what’s been done for each visit. As long as Nicole is around, we will definitely ask her to take care our cats.”
“They had incredible service, great communication, and were incredibly kind. Thank you guys so much for your time with our boys! It means everything to us, and we will definitely utilize your services again if need be. Thank you again!”
“We are very grateful to have found Lisa because she is everything we could hope for in a pet sitter. During our initial meet and greet, she was attentive, professional, and took time to get to know our pets and their routines. She inspired confidence from the start, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Hailey & Joshua did a fantastic job of watching my cat while I was away. He tends to have stranger danger but with their special touch, he warmed right up to them. I really appreciate all the care and attention they gave my cat. I would highly recommend them!”
“Kimberly took great care of my shy cat, Lola, making sure she was okay and giving her treats. She also went above and beyond with extra help around the house — refilling food and water, changing the litter, and even resetting my robot vacuum when it got stuck. Highly recommend!”
“Kyah is a fantastic sitter! She took care of my cat when I couldn't be home, which was no small task since she had to visit every day for an extended period. She was always patient and willing to help, and I truly appreciate her dedication. I’ll definitely turn to Kyah again if I ever need a cat sitter in the future!”
“Gradee & Jerry were wonderful! They had a separate room all set up for our cat which made us feel like she’s safer and more comfortable. She also had access to meet other pets when ready. We felt like she was really well taken care of. They even had a special feast for her on Christmas. I would definitely recommend Gradee & Jerry and we’ll be reaching back out when we need help watching her in the future.”
“Bailey was extremely attentive and sweet to our cat. She gave her undivided attention with pets and playing, would definitely use her services again! Thank you Bailey!!”
“Amanda was a great host for my pup! She was flexible to my schedule, good communication and handled my hyper puppy well tiring her out. Very thankful for her help! Will definitely book again.”
“I highly recommend Constance. She looked after my three cats with different needs/personalities for two weeks while I was on work travel, sending notes and photos each visit that really put my mind at ease while leaving my “kids” for that long. She took time to understand each cat’s personality so that they quickly came around to welcoming her into their home. She won all three over! I would definitely book her services again. My kitties give 5 stars.”
About: I've always been a pet owner since I was a little kid. Cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, you name it. I've had my own cat, Sebastian with me for the past 5 years :) Happy to watch any other furry friends! I am free all weekdays and work from home so I am always here to give your furry friends lots of attention and walks when needed. I have lots of toys and treats in the house and live in a safe and friendly neighborhood with lots of parks and grassy areas for walks with dogs. There is also a cat in the home for them to play with :)
“Clarissa was a total rockstar!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She stopped by our home every other day for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon. She watched our 2 cats, Little Sister and Beans; and her updates, messages, and pictures showed her commitment to ensuring that our fur-babies felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. We were happy to see our cats engaging with her and growing comfortable with her presence, and we would HIGHLY recommend her for any future sitting needs. 💜 She is simply lovely!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
Sophia came in clutch! Our other sitter got sick and couldn't make it while we were out of town. I sent her a message and she replied within 15 min. I sent pictures with instructions. She asked follow up questions to make sure our animals got the best care! 10/10 would recommend!! Will be using again!
Kaylie is such an attentive sitter! One of my kitties is exceptionally skittish and she was even able to coax her out and even got pets!!!! Highest recommend. This isn’t my first time booking her but I will certainly be booking again for my pet sitting needs. ❤️
Cheyenne was absolutely amazing! She came by daily to take great care of Poppinbeats and kept me updated every day with the cutest photos and helpful messages. She even caught things I wouldn’t have noticed, like when my automatic litter box got stuck. I seriously couldn’t ask for better care. This was hands down one of the best pet-sitting experiences I’ve had, and I’d be more than happy to have her take care of Poppinbeats again. When I got home, Poppinbeats was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. So appreciative of Cheyenne . highly recommend!

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.

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.
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.
