“We just moved to the Bay Area and had been very concerned about finding the right care for our Rottweiler, Sheba. We are so happy and relieved to have come across this app, and even more so having found Mitchell! He is truly exceptional. He took the time to walk us through what to expect during our first booking, was patient getting to know Sheba, and the specifics regarding her care instructions. We highly recommend Mitchell for your pet care!”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!”
“Jenarae is a great resource for us. She is conscientious, professional and bonds well with our cat. She did everything just right according to the needs of our animal family member. As a former cat sitter myself, I can highly recommend Jenarae, and am happy to have a reliable and personable sitter when I need one.”
“YoungXin was incredibly attentive and detailed, which gave me total peace of mind during my trip. She was also very responsive to messages, and I truly appreciated the care and communication. Thank you!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
“We had a great experience with Chalise and would absolutely recommend her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets as if they were her own. We appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we returned — always the best sign. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Sandra is amazing! I loved that she took the time to set up a meet and greet before! She’s the sweetest and I know my little girl was well taken care of! Also loved all the pictures she captured! Will definitely be looking her again soon!”
About: I provide calm, loving care and treat every pet like my own. I’m patient and attentive to their routines, comfort, and needs. I’m experienced with both playful young pets and senior pets who need gentle care, medication reminders, and extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine. I’m already organized with my time, so I can consistently check in, follow feeding schedules, and provide attention without rushing. On a daily basis, I make time for walks, play, litter box care, and companionship. Weekly, I plan ahead so I can accommodate longer visits, overnights, or extra care when needed. I’m reliable and flexible, so pets get steady, dependable care. I care for your pets in your home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and receive plenty of attention, play, and comfort. I keep their space clean and secure and adjust my care based on each pet’s personality, age, and needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Fiona, and I provide loving family-style dog boarding and daycare in our home. Our home is a spacious 3,800 sq ft house with a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, relax, and play safely throughout the day. Dogs staying with us are treated like part of the family and are welcome on the couch, beds, and furniture if that’s what they are used to at home. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, and our whole family loves having dogs around. We also have two children who grew up around dogs and are very comfortable interacting with them. They understand how to respect dogs’ space and behavior and enjoy playing with them. During their stay, I send daily updates with photos and videos so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. Because I focus on providing a calm and comfortable home environment, I usually host only a small number of dogs at a time to make sure every dog receives plenty of care and attention. Your dog will never be lonely in our home. My husband works from home and I also have a very flexible schedule, so there is almost always someone around. Dogs staying with us receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Because someone is usually home, we are able to closely supervise the dogs and make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I can also administer oral medications if needed. Safety is always our top priority. Our backyard is fully fenced and secure, allowing dogs to safely explore and play under supervision. We carefully introduce dogs to each other and always monitor interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. We also follow each dog’s feeding routine and any special care instructions provided by the owner. If needed, I can also administer oral medications.
“Anne goes above and beyond to provide excellent, professional care for my cat. She is responsive to my questions, thorough with her visit reports, and works to accommodate my schedule when possible. Thank you Anne!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I also have experience with cats and other critters, and I currently have all three myself, so I understand their unique needs and behaviors. I’ve worked alongside professional dog trainers, which has helped me build strong handling skills and better understand training, behavior, and safety. In addition, I’ve volunteered with animal shelters, giving me experience with a wide variety of temperaments and situations. I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I’m currently transitioning into trade school Friday–Sunday, which means I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to your pets! I’m available Monday through Thursday for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry (or scaly!) family members. I love building routines with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away! For the comfort and safety of all pets, I provide care in your home rather than mine. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as my own.
About: Hi! I’m Connie, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Bay Area. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’m active, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby for company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs and routine. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, and to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, playtime, or extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and provide consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision while respecting the rules of your home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.
“Jana has helped take care of my two dogs a couple times now and I can say if you’re in need of someone to help take care of your pets, Jana is the person to go with! Jana is very considerate and accommodating and gets along great with the dogs. I’m happy to have someone that I can rely on to care for my pups when they have to stay home.”
“Really happy to have found a good, trustworthy, and easygoing cat sitter! It is always a bit scary finding someone new to take care of your four legged family, but they were so quick to respond and took care of things perfectly! One of my cats who is very shy with new people was very comfortable and social which was such a big relief!”

Highly recommended! Exceptionally professional and caring. Shiyin provided top-notch care for my cat. She was punctual, highly communicative, and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. My cat warmed up to her almost instantly. Look no further if you want peace of mind while you are away. 5 stars all the way! Thank you for your service.
Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!
Anna went above and beyond caring for all four of our babies, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the animals in her care. What really stood out was her flexibility — when I reached out outside of our scheduled appointment times needing help with my cats, she didn’t hesitate and accommodated us without missing a beat. That kind of responsiveness and reliability is rare and means the world to a pet parent. Anna took the time to understand all of our specific care needs and handled everything with such grace and professionalism. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her hands. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
As always, Dakota took fantastic care of our kitties while we were out of town. We’ve been happy clients since 2024 and honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. I especially love his prompt responses and the consistent report cards—the photos always put our minds at ease! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
Sierra watched our 3 cats for two weeks, she is the best and it was such a relief while we were gone to have somebody we trusted watching and taking care of our cats. Sierra is friendly, professional, flexible, and was the best with our cats. Throughout the entire process, Sierra responded quickly to all of our messages and questions. For each visit we received great updates, and pictures of our cats. It was a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of by somebody who truly cared, and someone that we could trust! Our situation with our 3 cats was a lot of work with all the maintenance of the food, water and liter, along with our cat that has FIV and was injured and needed extra care and monitoring. On top of that, there were some last minute changes with our setup that Sierra handled easily too. We would absolutely book Sierra again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter!
We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛

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.
