“As always, Danny and Jennifer go above and beyond. They took care of our boy even when he was freaked out and grumpy! The loved our girl even when she stole ALL the balls. They even checked on our lost Roomba and helped it find its way home. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you!!!”
“Many thanks to Michael and Beth for helping to take care of my medically complicated cat while I was on vacation. He was fat and happy when I returned. He also looked super happy to see Michael on the cat camera.”
“Kiffin always goes above and beyond for our girl. She will clean up any messes that our pup made while she was alone, always gives her what she needs, and had even been known to stay a few extra minutes for our girl sometimes! It’s Kiffin or no one for our household!”
“Alicia was great with my shy and anxious pup. She also agreed to check in on him last minute. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pups and will be using her services again. Thanks so much!”
“Haley took great care of Bia. She was easy to communicate with, easygoing and hit it off with Bia the instant they met. I felt totally confident that Bia was in good hands with Haley!”
“Absolutely fabulous! Sarah was so great with my kitty, you can tell she is passionate about caring for animals! I got a play-by-play of each visit and plenty of cute pics, so I knew he was enjoying his time. She was very communicative when problems arose. She also remembered all the little details of his routine so he felt very comfortable with her. Highly recommend her to any pet parent!”
“One of, if not the best, dog sitters I’ve ever had. Any worry I thought I had she handled, great with communication, follows all instructions and is very flexible and nice. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat. I loved the daily photos and was pleased to see that Sarah was able to win over our normally standoffish kitty! It gave us great peace of mind to know all was well at home while we were away.”
“We recently hired Mason to take care of our Labrador, Jet, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with his service. Mason was professional, caring, and went above and beyond to ensure Jet was well looked after. He provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Jet clearly loved spending time with Mason, and we returned to a happy and healthy pet. We highly recommend Mason to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. He is truly a five-star caregiver!”
“Eleanor was fantastic. She reassured us with the report cars and photos. We have older cats so more concern about going on vacation. I highly recommend Eleanor as she clearly loves fur babies. Thank-you!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and almost made a career out of it. I currently have a senior dog, but raised her since she was a puppy and loved every minute of it. I’m currently off work for the summer, so me and my two kids are just hanging out and having fun! I have a lot of free time to walk your lovely dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a two story house. I love to play and cuddle and just love on dogs and cats. Whatever their vibe and energy are, I tend to match it.
“Ryan took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She stopped by my house 3 times a day and walked my dog in the evenings. She sent me cute pictures which I appreciated. I was so happy that she was in good hands while I was gone.”
“Jessica was great! Communicated well before and during the drop in visits. She cared for my cats as if they were her own, my cats also LOVED her and felt very comfortable. I plan to rebook with Jessica in the future for any other needs! Also she took the cutest photos of my fur babies!!”
“My dog LOVES Nicholas. He took the time to bond with her. He is reliable and kind. My mind was at ease knowing Nicholas was there to feed, walk, and comfort my dog.”
“Rachel is great! Our two dogs are always excited to see her. We’ve had a couple meet and greets so they could get acclimated with each other. This was the first time she came to our home without us there and everything went well. We are very happy to have found this match!”
“I booked Niki for daily drop in visits to check on my cat while I was away on vacation. She was absolutely fantastic! She sent 3 or more pictures per visit and provided a very robust report card each day. She was very nice and responsive. My cat gets very anxious when left alone and Niki's visits really helped her cope. Based on this initial experience with Rover and with Niki, I will absolutely have Niki care for my cat 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. 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
