“Ariana was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and gave very detailed updates. My cat is very shy around new people and she was very accommodating of this. She made sure to ask me lots of questions so that she could make my cat as comfortable as possible, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book with Ariana again.”
“Caroline did a great job taking care of my shy kitty! She was very accommodating and understanding. Her communication was great and she left detailed notes after each visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kirsten is the best!! She is friendly, kind and attentive to our shy cats. She was able to coax them out for a hello when the normally hide. They seemed happy and calm in all the updates 😊”
“Alex and her daughter were wonderful caretakers for our shy kitty Mia and our aquarium fish. This was my second booking with Alex, and I will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for the last 15 years, mainly in the animal rescue scene. I can administer medication, as well. No dog is too young, or too old! I am a fairly flexible person, who can fit any needed pet care relatively easily into my schedule. I love being able to incorporate animals into my day-to-day. I prefer to care for pets in the home they are used to, as it creates less stress. Staying within a routine they are used to, helps as well
“We were away for a week and Karla took great care of our 2 cats! She was a great communicator which gave us peace of mind. She followed our instructions well and even helped bringing in our mail and packages. Our cats were shy and nervous around her at first but after a few days they’d totally warmed up to her and sent us the cutest pics of them. We’d absolutely book her again!”
“Victoria was a really wonderful pet sitter. She took awesome care of my anxious, scared-of-strangers cat with grace and lots of treats. She went the extra mile to come visit our home to get a lay of the land before we went out of town and asked many clarifying questions to make sure she did a great job. Her clients include cats with specific medical needs, so I knew she would be understanding of my cat's boundaries and limitations when it comes to interaction. She sent updates and was communicative throughout the entire time she dropped in to care for my cat. Book Victoria with confidence!”
“I hired Emalee to cat/house sit. She was an amazing cat sitter. She treated them as if they were her own. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated. I would totally recommend her and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“This was the 2nd time Ashley has watched our cats while we were out of town, and she is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our cats and always keeps us updated. I highly recommend her!”
“Jenna was fantastic with our cat Astro! She kept us updated with photos and videos. Astro looked so relaxed and comfortable with her. I can tell he really adores her. In addition to playing and being a great companion for Astro, Jenna cleaned the litter, made sure there’s food in the automatic feeder and filled the water bowl as needed. We were so appreciative when we came back to a clean home after Jenna had vacuumed around the litter box and scratch box area. We are so pleased with Jenna that we plan to have her take care of Astro again in a few weeks!”
“I highly recommend Abby if you are seeking responsible, loving and reliable care for your pet. Abby followed instructions and took an interest in my kitty. She sent daily photographs and communicated consistently. I will definitely book Abby again.”
“John was great with my two kitties! Always had detailed summaries of their visits which was amazing! It’s hard to find people who are reliable. Great experience overall!!”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I’ve been caring for pets professionally since I was 16 — from vet clinics to living rooms, I’ve done it all. I’m certified in animal CPR, experienced with pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and always ready to offer a calm, capable hand (or a lap to nap in). Whether your furry friend needs meds, snuggles, or just someone to throw the ball exactly right — I’ve got it covered. You’ll get plenty of photo updates, so you never feel too far from your best friend. When you’re away, they deserve more than just a sitter — they deserve someone who truly gets them. Let’s make your time away stress-free (for both of you)! 🐶🐱 *Just started accepting bookings again with the new school year! I’m currently a student at Cornell Vet, so my day to day schedule varies with classes but I tend to only spend 4-8 hours at school and can spend the rest of the day with your pet! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routine — from feeding schedules and litter box care to playtime and medication, if needed — to minimize stress and keep things consistent while you’re away. I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for years, so I’m very experienced with administering medications, monitoring subtle behavior changes, and offering extra TLC to keep your furry friend feeling their best. I take the time to build trust, especially with shy or older pets, and always respect their boundaries and preferences. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in caring, capable hands.
About: For the past 10 years, I've cared for my own pets as well as friends' dogs, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of needs. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, administering medication, and managing high-energy puppies, along with dogs of every size. I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I'd give my own! Hi! My name is Elena. I am an undergraduate student at SUNY Cortland studying environmental geoscience. I am currently finalizing my fall schedule and once it’s done, I will update my calendar :) I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I'm comfortable with both species' needs and routines. When caring for clients' pets, I always follow their specific instructions including feeding times, leash habits, crate routines, medications, and any other house rules. Safety and consistency for the pet always come first! :)

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 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.
