“Claire was an excellent sitter for our two cats. She provided us with some great pics, played with and brushed them. She was also accommodating with last-minute scheduling change for her start date/time. We hope she’s available for us the next time we need someone.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Heather made it easy! She was super responsive and helpful. She made sure to message us daily with pictures and videos, and we knew Charlie was in good hands.”
“Katelyn was amazing! She was very responsive and made a great effort to bond with my cats even though they were being a little grouchy. She left good reports after every visit as well. My cats were definitely in great hands 😊”
“Shelly took great care of our cats on short notice!! She sent us pictures and updates for each visit and helped to ease our mind while being out of town! Highly recommend Shelly!!! Thank you for being an awesome pet sitter!!”
“Emily provided great care to our cat, Puma! This was our first time leaving Puma alone overnight, and Emily's drop-in care ensured it all went smoothly. Plenty of playtime, and chores all completed. Thank you!!”
About: I care for all furry family members like they are my own. I’m flexible to meet you and your pets’ needs, so feel free to reach out to see if we are a good fit! I am currently working on building my full time case load for my full time job as a mental health therapist, so I have a decent amount of availability on both weekdays and weekends I am never afraid to ask questions that come up. I would rather be overly prepared than to make decisions that would not align with your goals and your pets’ needs
“A great first booking with Sarah!! This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat alone and Sarah was very flexible and had open communication, which made me feel comfortable with leaving my pet in her care :)”
“Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.”
“Megan is fantastic with our two cats! She always takes time with them to cuddle and make sure they feel loved when we are away. Plus, the photos she includes in her report cards are always so goofy :)”
“Ashley is amazing as always. She is a great communicator and takes super good care of our aging g cat. Even when he’s had some illness she’s understanding. Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I am a loving, compassionate, and reliable person that has a love for animals. I am also athletic and can take your puppy companion for a jog! I have unlimited availability for pet care. The only time I am not available is at 3pm, when I pick up my two pet loving children from school. I have a fenced in yard in a nice neighborhood, and a lake across the street if your pet likes to swim. I am also available to come to your home as well. I am available in Rock County and Dane County.

“Kara took great care of our two kitties, who have a lot of extra special needs, when we were gone on a five-day vacation. Even though one of our cats didn’t cooperate with our intended plans, Kara was very communicative and went above and beyond to do everything she could to make our cats were comfortable and ensure we were on board with everything she was doing.”
“Allison was amazing!! She took such incredible care of our dog, Macie while we were out of town. She went above and beyond, and always gave detailed updates so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in the best hands! She was so kind, always replied quickly, paid attention to details, and made our dog feel so at ease while we were away. I highly recommend Allison if you are looking for someone to take amazing care of your dog!”
“We really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!”
“Rachel was great! She stayed overnight for four nights with our three cats. Daily updates were provided including pictures. We came back to our home exactly like we left it. We’ll absolutely ask for her help 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 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.
