“Karli took excellent care of our two dogs! We loved getting pictures of them during each visit. I sprained my wrist and she even opened an extra can of dog food and left it in the fridge for me since I had mentioned having trouble opening the cans. I've already booked her for a couple more drop in visits!”
“Bekah was fantastic! From the first meet and greet we knew she would be perfect to trust with our furbabies and access to our house. We hired her for over a week and she was reliable and responsive, providing daily updates through the River app. Highly recommended!”
“I really think my cat Jesse is in love with Mallie. When I got home after 8 days away, Jesse told me all about the great time he had with Mallie. They have been together three times in the past year and I am certain they will get to spend more time together in the future. Mallie brushed Jesse because his fur was shiny and soft. His water dish was clean and plenty of food was in his bowl when I returned. Great job Mallie!!”

About: I've always had a cat. I've helped care for kitties through every life stage, and would take family and friends dog-walking or sitting gigs whenever I could. Building a rapport with an animal and earning their trust is something I take great pride in! I'm currently working afternoon shifts at a restaurant, typically anywhere from 12pm - 8pm. While my schedule varies, I can spend plenty of quality time with them and come and go straight from work to make sure they get as much attention as possible. Please reach out to let me know your situation - I'd love to work something out! My flexible schedule means house-sitting is totally up my alley! I'm happy to spend as much one-on-one time as needed, with lots of outdoor playtime/walks and an attentive presence inside to make sure they have everything they need. Anything you are / are not comfortable with I am happy to accommodate.

“I have to say ... We found a JEWEL when we found Sarah!!!! She is THE BEST! We have two little kitties and when she came to meet them they fell in love with her! She take care of them as they were hers. We can't wait to use your from now on. If you want someone that will love your fur babies, look no further & Book Sarah ❤️❤️❤️”
“Jennifer was excellent with my babies. Even in the cold single digit weather she came to the house twice for feedings and exercise for my three dogs and my daughters two visiting dogs. Because a short black out tripped the water flow off she had to find the valve in the garage and turn it on. The doggies all seemed to have had a good time as that they were not stressed when we arrived home that evening. I'm looking forward to more dog/house sitting in the future.”
“Annalyse was super helpful in our first drop in sitter for multiple pets, especially in a home under renovations and all still adapting to new environment. She was an excellent communicator prior to, during and after visit.”
“Louie absolutely adores Twyla. She was very caring and played with him while we were away. He doesn’t just let anyone in the yard with him so she’s special! The pictures she sent are the cutest. Thank you Twyla!”

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.

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.
