“My first time ever using Rover and I feel I am spoiled with Hadija! She is magnificent at communicating and takes extra care of my one dog with severe anxiety. I can say enough about her.”
“Leslie did such a great job taking care of my cat, Timmy! She took care of Timmy while I was out of town and she made me feel very at ease while I was away from my boy. Leslie is very detailed and caring! She made sure Timmy had his wet food, clean water, clean litterbox, and lots of love and pets! I would definitely request Leslie for my next pet sitting and would highly recommend her!!! ?”
“Excellent cat sitter! Communicative, sent daily photo updates, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend and I will be booking Sara’s services again!”
“I quickly rebooked Chloe for the holiday—she is phenomenal! She really does go above and beyond to make sure my cat is spoiled and loved while I am away, e.g., she surprised him with treats and made an extra drop-in on Christmas Day just to say hi! Chloe is attentive, respectful, and bubbly. I am very grateful to have met her and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Chloe!”

“Cassidy was great she showed did everything that we asked for when caring for Axel also we received check in and checkout times plus pictures of Axel every visit and there was a video showing Axel perfectly relaxed so we knew Axel was well cared for so great job Cassidy. Thanks Joyce and Michael”
“We love Kaitlyn!!! She takes excellent care of our fur balls! We have 1 medium sized dog and 2 kitties. She’s very attentive to their needs and a very nice person. She plans s with them and even bc nds with our little female cat, who is super scared of everyone. I wouldn’t use anyone but Kaitlyn to care for our little guys!”
“Elaine is so great with our nervous schnauzer. We know he's in the best hands with her and she is very communicative with us when she does her check ins. We will keep rebooking with her and highly recommend her.”
“As always, Cristina is amazing. She’s flexible, communicative, and has a sharp eye for the exact type of small thing you’d want a pet sitter to notice, like things laying around the cats could get into or something abnormal about their appearance or actions. She always does everything that’s needed to be done. We’ve been using her for over a year now and love her!”
“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”
“Cindy was fantastic with my dog! She was very helpful throughout the entire process, always on time, and a great communicator. I really appreciated how responsible and attentive she was, knew my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Amazing sitter and also great with communication. Would definitely recommend and also book again. My dog had a wonderful time every time there was a visit. Overall just an amazing experience.”
About: I have had dogs and cats and various other small pets since I was 7. I know how to handle dogs of all sizes and how to care for other animals such as cats, fish, rodents… I am very patient and willing to do all the little things your pets need, no instructions is too much if it means giving your pets the care they deserve! I am currently a graduate student getting my doctorate. So I will be able to sit and play with your dogs and study while they have nap time or chill time. I would love to give your animals the care they deserve while also giving myself a little mental break with all your cute pets! If you have a a fenced in yard I will gladly go out and play with the animals or sit with them. I will gladly crate your dogs if you need and ensure everything is locked up and safe for them. I will clean up their potty breaks if you ask me to and will gladly feed and clean up any messes.
“This was our first time using Rover. Usually our family members watch our fur babies, but this time no one in however many years were available. I was super nervous about the idea of having someone I know come and watch my puppers, but then I came across Monica’s page. She has a long list of great reviews AND she was close to home. When I met her for our first meet and greet she is truly that wonderful”

Absolutely wonderful! She was so responsive, the notes every visit were very informative and super helpful, and her personality, actions, and kindness were above and beyond. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our fur babies while we were out of town!
Chelsea took amazing care of my cat. She made sure to follow the special instructions I left and took lots of cute photos of my girl. I also really appreciated the updates she gave me every day. Chelsea made me feel good about leaving my cat at home while I went on a trip. Thanks Chelsea!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
