“Stefani is the best! We took a last minute trip up north for some family obligations, and Stefani and her two girls seemed to have a blast with my babies. I didn't have the greatest experience with my first time utilizing rove, but my second time, Stefani and her girls have definitely changed my perspective! I won't hesitate to reach back out to Stefani in the future. Thank you so much!!!”
“Marley was awesome! We met the day before my fiancé and I had to leave town and we both felt super comfortable having Marley in our home and taking care of our fur baby. Marley checked in with us everyday and sent us photos of Jana. We look forward to booking with her again and it makes us happy to know we have someone to rely on.”
“Janessy is very easy to communicate with and did a great job checking on my cats while I was on vacation. I got daily pictures and updates. I would definitely book with Janessy again!”
“This is the second time we have used Rachel and we couldn't be happier. This last booking was a shorter notice and she was able to make it work no problem to take care of our sweet kitties. Very sweet & dependable.”
“Kristin was incredible!!! So so sweet to our kitties and sent such great updates while we were away. So grateful for her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: Ever since I can remember, I have had a dog in my life, usually multiples. Growing up in the country, my family always took in strays which we took in or helped relocate to the perfect home. Currently, I am a puppy mom to one amazing girl, Bourdain. She is sweetest pup and I am a lucky lady to have her! I am currently working from home and would love to spend time helping you by giving your fur babies a little TLC while you are doing what you need to do! My schedule is very flexible and am available to pop in as needed. I also have a 10 year old son who if available loves to give love and help out too! I am active and can provide exercise for your dog with walks around your neighborhood. My schedule is flexible (Realtor with a in home office) and I can easily help care for your fur baby. I work from home with any other appointments noted and will communicate any conflicts as needed. I’m all ears on your specifications for your pet. I want to have all the details so that I can provide the best care while you’re not there.
“Julia was absolutely terrific! So willing to help, and so careful with instructions. Our pets were in perfect form when we got back, as they had been extremely well taken care of. Thank you, Julia!”
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
“Lydia is an awesome human! She was very friendly and Louie immediately felt comfortable around her. She has cats of her own so was very attentive to my kitty’s social needs. She sent pictures of Louie throughout the stay and let me know of any slight concerns she had. Def would rebook :)”
About: I grew up with dogs and now have a cat of my own, so I have yet to meet a furry friend I don't love. I love dog walking and knowing that I am helping get a pet out of the house for a little while during the day. I can't imagine what they are thinking when their humans are gone! I work from home for my main job, but crave time out of the house. My job is very flexible so there are few times I can't get out for a walk or drop-in. I have walked dogs for people, stayed at homes for pet care, and become a trusted cat sitter for all of my friends. Though I am more inclined to a daily drop-in, I would love to discuss what is best for your pet!
About: My experience with pet care has always been in favor of the owner and what they know is best for their pet. Instructions are followed, pets get needed attention, and everyone is happy. Weekly pet car options once per month. Daily check-ins and frequent walks. Multiple pet care is available and able to communicate via app as needed I keep an organized list of every pet I have in my monthly schedule (recurring and new appointments). Specific instructions are followed and understood as you know what is best for your pet. I’m active and able to manage high energy pets.
“We had Alyssa take care of our cats while we were on vacation, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, she was incredibly reliable and communicative, giving us regular updates and photos that really put our minds at ease. It was clear that they were well taken care of—happy, well-fed, and content when we returned. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”
“Becca did such a good job with Andi! After a bad experience with another sitter, we were super hesitant to book anyone for our trip. Becca went out of her way to make sure we knew when she would be at the apartment and everything that happened while she was there. We came home to a comfortable and happy cat. We can’t wait to book Becca again!”
“Isaiah was amazing! He accommodated every request. Worked with us on last second changes. Just absolutely crushed it. We’ll definitely be sure to book him again if we ever need another cat sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Miranda was amazing with our cats. Our oldest is shy around people and when he first met her he came right up to her. She gave amazing updates on our pets I would definitely recommend and rebook her”

This still gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, care, and companionship they need. 🐾 I understand that life and schedules can change, so I do my best to stay flexible. If any last-minute changes come up in my routine, I’ll adjust accordingly to make sure both my pet and yours are cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. Your pet’s routine and well-being will always be a priority while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. As a cat mom to Remi, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll always treat your pet with patience, love, and respect while making sure they feel safe and comfortable with me.

I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. 🐾❤️

Marley was awesome! We met the day before my fiancé and I had to leave town and we both felt super comfortable having Marley in our home and taking care of our fur baby. Marley checked in with us everyday and sent us photos of Jana. We look forward to booking with her again and it makes us happy to know we have someone to rely on.
April did a great job caring for our fur babies! She’s a great communicator and was quick to ensure us that all was well with the kitties while we were away on our trip, providing many photos during each check-in! Very easy to work with overall, we would definitely recommend! 😊

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
