“Michelle took great care of my elder cat in failing health. It was obvious, from her reports and photos, that his routine lifestyle was lovingly maintained. The feedback helped me enjoy my vacation without worry. I will ask for her again in the future.”
“Irma was extremely accommodating! A few days before our booking, our cat needed surgery. So, the care instructions changed last minute. Irma’s place is perfect for solo cats. You know they will be well cared for.”
“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”
“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure all their needs were met. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We would definitely use Sharon again.”
“Erica did a great job with my cats. She even got my shy one to come out and play! The daily pictures made me feel comfortable that my cats were well cared for while I was away. Thanks, Erica!!”
“Makaila was very prompt and dependable. My two cats were very pleased to see her. She took time to feed them, play with them, give them love, and thoroughly clean their litter boxes. They were happy to see me but very emotionally content in my absence. I felt very comfortable knowing Makaila was in charge of them and their care. I highly recommend her!”
“Alicia was phenomenal, she provided excellent care for 4 cats, 4 snails, and 2 hermit crabs. I cannot recommend her enough. I was out of state and she handled making a run to put a new battery in the garage door opener. I felt so at ease knowing she was there.”
About: Available holidays & weekends. At Christmas I am off one week before and one week after, so I normally can do 3 drop in’s per day. Most weekends I can do 2-3. Otherwise I work full time M-F and return home at 4:00 pm. I have no other standing commitments. I am unable to watch pets in my own home. My cat Millie has many toys, scratch posts, 2 condos and a bed. Spoiled! She is 2 years old.
“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Station
This was the first time ever that I didn't have a family member or a friend stop in and take care of my six cats while I was out of town. Jordan T. did such a great job. He came every day after work hours and scooped boxes, refilled water in two locations, filled dry food when needed, gave cat treats and gave wet food to six cats! I received pictures every day and had great communication from him. There was one day he wasn't going to be able to come at the same time as the other days due to a personal appointment. He sent me a message and asked if I wanted him to come earlier or a little later than he was normally coming. I appreciated the ask! My 6 cats were very content when I returned home from my week long vacation. I'll definitely use him again. It was great not having to worry about them while I was gone!

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. 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 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.
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.
