“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”
“Lindsey is such a nice person and great catsitter - our cat Fox warmed up to her which is hard to accomplish! She was punctual and attentive. We will certainly be booking her services again in the future.”
“INCREDIBLE! My therapist recommended I use this app and we were so worried as first time users. Michaela was attentive, very communicative and went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We will 100% book with her again and highly recommend for anyone looking for someone who will care for your pets and ease your worries. Legitimately so happy we booked with Michaela.”
“Aly is simply wonderful. Leaving our cat at home for the first time was stressful, but she made the whole experience so smooth. She went above and beyond in taking care of our cat. Thanks to Aly and her cute daughter, we came home to a happy cat. She was always prompt, sent lots of pictures, videos, and detailed reports. She even took in our mail even though she didn’t have to. We can’t thank her enough.”
“Jenie was an awesome sitter for my 2 cats! Very communicative, organized, and punctual. Provided photos during visits and reported on cats behavior during the visits. I'll definitely be using again!”
“Tim was wonderful. We had a great time communicating through the app, and he is very kind and professional throughout the process. Would love to book him again in the future!”
“Susannah was awesome! Super reliable and great at communicating with us, and our cats were very well taken care of. She even took in some packages that had been delivered while we were away! Would definitely recommend!”
“Jordan is THE BEST cat sitter. In my experience, a lot of pet sitters are great for dogs but not for cats. Jordan very clearly plays with our cat, spends the time required to earn her trust, and is reliable to do that during the duration of the stay. We have a cat with anxiety. Every other pet sitter, she pukes and pees everywhere. That doesn't happen with Jordan. I know Jordan makes our pet feel safe through the simple fact that we don't have evidence of this anxiety behavior. I would strongly recommend Jordan as a pet sitter to anyone with cats, or dogs; she is exceptional, thoughtful, and communicative. An ideal pet sitter for anyone.”
About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“My babies were well taken care of. Christopher is willing to accommodate last minute request. Good communication to make sure things go well. Will book with Chris again.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals all my life. Whether it be my own pets (I currently have two cats), walking dogs or house sitting, I show up with all of my patience, understanding and vigilance. For the past 5+ years I worked in doggy daycares handling large groups of dogs in every size and shape. My responsibilities included maintaining a safe and clean environment for all and staying vigilant. I had to observe the dog’s behaviors at all times and be quick to think and act in order to de-escalate if needed. These environments needed a lot of patience and the ability to remain calm in high stress situations. The daycares also included boarding services which required morning and night feedings as well as giving medications when needed. This job gave me the skills needed to understand dog behavior and body language and how to respond. This job also gave me knowledge and skills in training and behavior management/modification. I believe I have a skill set that sets me apart because not only do I have the experience and honed abilities in something I love, I would be honored to put my hard work to use in service of the one you love. I have full weekly availability to be of service to you and your pets needs. Right now I have open availability Monday-Sunday for walking and home visits as well as occasional overnight availability. While my own home is not available for services I respect the client’s home the same as if it were my own. To care for pets in their own home is to keep to their routine and comfort and to put their safety and wellbeing above all else.
“Dan is *exactly* the type of person I wanted to take care of my dog. It was evident within about 7 seconds of meeting them that they were warm, trustworthy, and genuine. Dan asked me all the right questions and made me feel like I was leaving my dog with someone I had known for years. That is a rare thing.”
About: I love walks as much as the doggos do. I accommodate your pets and make sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away. Be sure to let me know your animal care needs. I assist my sister with her cat care needs in our own home. She’s the princess, we just live there. Kitty is a professional napper, right in my blankets. :) In my client’s home, I take care of pets according to their care-needs. My home has a cat and is not suitable for housing other pets.
“I was initially super anxious about using this service, but Stephen put my mind at ease with incredible care, kindness, and communication. Amazing sitter, went above and beyond. Thank you!!!”
“Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!”
“Nick was great with our cat Delilah! He was very professional and came and met her ahead of time. She was very comfortable with him as we saw through many cute photos! We would definitely book with Nick again.”

Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!

Abby is a wonderful sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of at home. Not only did she take care of my baby Smoky, she brought in our packages, took our trash to the curb, and cleaned up a spill in our kitchen; all things that were way out of the spectrum of caring for our kitty! Thank you so much Abby for taking such great care of Smoky. We hope that you can visit again soon over the summer!
Ella took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. Ella was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals, our cats were happy, relaxed, and well fed the whole time. Ella sent updates and photos and a video, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Ella for anyone needing a trustworthy, caring cat sitter!
This was my second time asking Susannah to watch my cat. My cat loved her the first time and this time was no different. Susannah was prompt with communication about her visits. She sent photos and made sure my cat got to play, eat, and drink regularly. I have no qualms about Susannah watching my cat and think she would be an excellent sitter for other cats and dogs.
Nicole did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! She fed them, gave Bindi a pill twice a day, and spent time hanging out/playing with them during each visit. She also sent updates and a ton of pictures every time she stopped by. I appreciate that Nicole was super responsive and asked questions whenever things were unclear. Thank you Nicole ☺️

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.
