“First time Rover user and Hon exceeded my expectations. Communication and updates were informative and provided me a sense of assurance that my two cats were being well taken care of. Will definitely choose Hon in the future.”
“Catrina was great! She did a week of drop-in visits for our cats, taking care of feeding, refreshing water, and litter cleaning. Our cats are shy, often never seen by cat feeders. As we had asked, Catrina did not invade their hiding places, but she was able to coax one to approach her -- something that we did not expect -- which gave us peace of mind knowing that they had felt safe with Catrina while we were away.”
“Nina was extremely caring and friendly with my cat Siwon and a pleasure to communicate with as she was professional and prompt with responses. I felt very reassured knowing that she was our cat sitter while we were on vacation for two weeks. Thanks Nina!”
“Boryana S. Was wonderful with Oreo. I needed help learning how to administer ear drops to my cat and Boryana handled Oreo with care and I was able to follow her lead and learn to do this on my own. This was Boryana’s first time here and Oreo immediately went to her and they bonded almost instantly. I highly recommend Boryana if You need help or babysitting for your pet.”
“Megan was awesome!! So attentive to my two kitties and their care, even going above and beyond to clean up when one of them decided to leave a throw up treat!! One kitty is shy and hides but Megan made sure she was ok and checked on her each day. Will definitely call on Megan again in the future.”
“Stacey was awesome! She took care of my babies and made my time away more enjoyable. I would 100% recommend and use her again. Thank you Stacey for everything!!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind. I know how important it is to run on a strict schedule. As I own a dog myself, she too is provided with strict feeding and walking times that fit our schedule. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is treated with the same care and respect!
“She did great! Some issues came up last minute and she handled everything with grace. She was able to get my anxious kitties to warm up to her. It was my kitties' first time being left alone, so I was worried, but her pictures and video updates left me reassured that they were doing well. When I got home, my kitties were unstressed and greeted me happily. Thanks again Katrina!!”
“Abigail took care of my cat while my family was away for a short trip. Usually, my cat has a poor appetite when she’s alone, so Abigail’s company and updates were really helpful. Peace of mind during vacation is priceless, so thanks again, Abigail!”
“Christine was great with our very shy cat. She arrived timely, made sure he ate, and played with him as much as he would allow her to. She gave us a lot of confidence that he would be looked after very well during our time away. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“This was the first time using Rover and Yasmine made it so easy for us! She kept us updated sending cute pics of our cat Oreo. We had to pick him up earlier than scheduled and Yasmine didn’t have a problem with that. She’s super kind with animals, if we need someone to take care for our cat again we definitely gonna go back to her, thanks again Yasmine!”
“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
“Vee has taken care of our old cat a few times, and she’s been great! She gives him his pills, makes sure he gets lots of attention, and always keeps us updated. She’s very responsible and trustworthy, and I highly recommend her!”

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
