“Alyssa was fantastic! She was very attentive to my fur babies, a perfect communicator, and made me feel very comfortable going out of town knowing my pets would be well cared for. Highly recommend Alyssa!”
“Rebecca is great! Second time we have used her to check in on our cat Doug. Rebecca is very responsive and sent us updates and pictures while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Jocelyne was wonderful. She was so easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to care for my kitty. It was my first time leaving my cat with someone other than family and I was nervous. Jocelyne was a perfect choice and gave me the peace of mind I was looking for when being away from my pet. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover, and I have an educational background in animal science. I’ve worked at multiple shelters caring for cats and dogs and providing the best experience I can for them. I’d love to do the same for your pet! I’m available almost anytime! I am a Master’s student at CU Boulder so occasionally I am in classes (my partner is full-time remote), but am happy to work around them to care for your pet! Trust is the most important thing I’ll try to build with your pet! Whether they’re in their home environment or in mine, my top priority is to ensure their comfort and consistency in schedules while you’re away. Shy or fearful pets welcome!
“Jenna and Jason did an amazing job taking care of our cats! They communicated with us after every visit, sent pictures of our kiddos, and did everything we asked of them and more. So grateful our babies were in such good hands!”
“So glad I found Rachel to help me care for my kitties while I recovered from surgery. She was so kind and helpful. The kitties loved her and she took very good care of them when I wasn’t able. I would recommend her without reservation of any kind. She’s a top notch caretaker.”
“We recently had Noel watch our two cats and she did a fantastic job! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of them. We came home to two happy, well-loved cats and a tidy space. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“Taylor really helped me out last minute. She was very kind and took great care of my 2 cats. They were very happy when I got home and everything was taken care of and tidy in my absence!”
“Thank you for taking care of the kitties! You were here on time every time. You put noticeable effort into making friends with my shy cat. Everything was appreciated!”
“Alexis watched my kitties while I was away and did fantastically. I thoroughly enjoyed every update she sent, from photos to videos to simple texts. This was my first time using Rover -- I felt very confident leaving my house in a stranger's hands LOL! She felt very trustworthy upon meeting her. Would recommend her pet sitting services to anyone!”
“Elisha was great to work with! She was so sweet with our kitty, and we greatly appreciated her communication with us before and during the booking. Thanks again Elisha!!”
About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.
“We had a wonderful experience with Lauren and would absolutely recommend her! Our cat, Coco, can be unaffectionate at first, but she warmed up to Lauren. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.”
“Erin was great! We had her looking after our cat for a long weekend and she was super communicative and left the house in better condition than when we left. At one point she mistakenly thought she broke something and told us right away and offered to pay for it, and that level of personal responsibility alone will have us booking her again. Our cat is also a really anxious type and it's obvious when he hasn't been well cared for as he'll stop cleaning himself, and we returned to a very happy and fluffy kitty. We will 100% have her back in the future.”
“Divya did a fantastic job caring for my shy cat! She was patient, took the time to play with her, and helped her feel comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely book Divya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Stephany is kind, reliable, and professional. She cleaned up a litter mess and also just made sure the litter boxes were clean and not just emptied. It’s that extra effort I really appreciate. My cat is also pretty picky, has hidden from a lot of Rovers but she loves Stephany’s kindness!
Jenny really spent time with my cat! I have had other cat sitters (from Rover) who spent 5 or 10 minutes, but Jenny spent 25-30 minutes to give my cat some play time and lots of love. I have a camera on my front door so I know how long the sitter stays. Jenny sent regular updates and was easy to work with.
Laura checked on our cat while we were away during the holidays. Laura is very responsive to all communication. She provided daily updates with pictures (even though our cat is super shy). It was great knowing that someone was checking on him every day. Laura, thank you so much for taking care of Fez!
McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.

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.
