“My initial impression of Adam was that he was kind and trustworthy, which has turned out to be true. I've booked him twice to take care of my cat while we are away. Oreo seems content and well cared for upon my return, which is priceless.”
“Vanessa took great care of our cat Teddy while we were away. We appreciated her questions in our meet and greet and her attention to detail in his care. Teddy misses her already!”
“I had Xiaoying feed my 2 year old cat Mo for several days while I was on vacation and she was incredible! She went above and beyond, checking and cleaning her litter box, bringing toys, and spending lots of quality time with her. Her reports were always incredibly detailed and included lots of pictures. She was quick to respond and made the whole booking process super easy. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Bianca was amazing! It was our first time booking with her and everything went seamlessly. Our cat who typically always hides from pet sitters actually came out and got a few pets which really put my mind at ease while we were away. Bianca clearly really cares and was attentive to all of my senior kitty’s needs. I hope to be able to book with her again in the future!”
“Rebecca was exceptional! Friendly, communicative, and went above and beyond, caring for my cats and home. Will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 3, especially exotic animals like reptiles and avians. I’m a volunteer at ASPCA shelter now. Although I’ve never had dogs and cats myself, I had some experience of baby sitting them for my friends. I’m a freelancer now, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule everyday. Feel free to contact me even if it’s the same day work. I’ll make sure I crack the door open a little bit first and always keep the door closed when I clean cat litter or anything to make sure my client’s pet won’t sneak out
About: I’m an experienced pet parent and a proud cat mom of 6 cats. Caring for multiple cats has helped me develop a strong understanding of different personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. Beyond caring for my own cats, I have provided in-home cat care for friends, including caring for two cats while they were away. I have also gained professional pet-sitting experience through another pet care platform, where I regularly care for an 8-year-old cat for a repeat client who has trusted me as her go-to sitter. My experience includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, medication support when needed, and providing companionship for cats with different temperaments. I understand that every cat has their own routine and personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own. I will provide thoughtful updates, photos, and attentive care so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a cat mom of 6, I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing daily play and companionship. Outside of caring for my own cats, I set aside dedicated time for pet sitting visits, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, playtime, and sending updates to owners. I understand that pets feel most comfortable with consistency and routine, so I always make sure they receive reliable and attentive care. I’m able to plan my schedule around pet care needs and provide dependable visits while treating every pet with the same patience and attention I give my own. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that cats especially feel safest in their own environment, so I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, grooming, and any special needs. Before each visit, I take time to learn about the pet’s personality, habits, favorite activities, and any concerns the owner may have. During visits, I provide attentive care, spend quality time with the pet, keep their space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of patience and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
About: I’ve grown up with family dogs and used to be a dog foster parent for around 3 years. I have taken care of all ages, from puppies to senile dogs and everything in between. My family members have cats and I understand their care needs also. I regularly pet sit for my friends with dogs and cats when they go out of town. I love all pets like they are my own. I’m currently a full time student so I have ample time during the day to pop by or stay and take care of pets. My class schedule is concentrated in the evenings so I have flexibility for mornings, afternoons, and night visits. I live in a small apartment with plenty of park space nearby. While I don’t have any pets of my own, my house is pet proof and there is little access to any plants or items on the floors that can make your pets sick. I am comfortable with litter boxes, all kinds of wacky feeding schedules, and any other needs your pet may have ♡
“Natalie was great. We needed someone last minute to check in our cats and she was super responsive and helpful. The rover app had a few issues at first but she was quick to respond to us and helped set our minds at ease.”
“Lenin was a great cat sitter! He was very communicative, keeping me updated throughout my time away. He went above and beyond to make sure my pet was not only fed and safe but also having enough play time. I highly recommend him.”
“Jose was absolutely amazing with our kitties while we were away! He always sent lots of pictures, provided us with detailed daily updates, and answered any questions we had. Will definitely be rebooking ?”
“Christina is thoughtful and sent amazing photos of her visits with the fur babies. My dog is very old and grumpy but was won over by her! I felt at ease and able to enjoy my vacation!!”
About: I’m a responsible babysitter and dog sitter. I’ve taken care of young pups and senior dogs. I understand dog body language well enough to assess situations when needed. I love a challenge and that means multiple dogs, larger dogs, and I could dog sit for hours. I follow instructions and I’m open to extra services before sun down. Although I’m new, you should not underestimate my experience. You can rely on me to be your dog’s new companion, I’m very flexible and adaptable. I love taking photos so you would not regret a photoshoot! I encourage pet owners to ask about any concerns or requests. I work part time helping animals! Feel free to ask me about that, but my scheduling is always changing so don’t be afraid to reach out to see if we can work around it! I don’t have a yard but the apartment is open except the main bedroom. There’s also a dog park nearby so we can have some safe outside play time!
“Our cat Dewey was in great hands with Devon, who did drop-in visits over a few days. Devon was communicative and gave us a lot of confidence that Dewey was being well looked after: highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: From childhood to today, caring for dogs has been part of my life. Real experience, real responsibility, and genuine love for every pet I look after. I’m available Monday through Friday from 3-10pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays all day. Flexible, reliable, and ready to care for your pets always. 🐾 I provide care in clients’ homes, ensuring a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, prioritize trust, and treat every pet with respect.
“Lillybeth did drop-in visits with my two cats, for 6 days, while I was on vacation. She is an excellent caregiver- patient, responsive, and not afraid to ask questions when there was an issue. She provided me with detailed updates and photos daily, and when I needed to add an extra visit at the last minute, she was willing and able to accommodate my request. This was my second booking with Lillybeth, and I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Karina is awesome! She stayed in touch with us the whole time we were away. We’ve previously had issues with a cat sitter not really understanding our cat’s behavior. Karina gets it. She is very gentle and thoughtful in her approach with our cat. In addition to feeding and cleaning the litter box, she made sure our cat was stimulated while we were away.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
I feel very lucky to have Xiaoying taking care of Baobao! Baobao has always been a very shy little kitten to strangers, but Xiaoying got on well with her quickly during the first couple visits. Xiaoying took care of Baobao nicely, spent time playing with her and gave her a lot of care and love during the visit. Very reliable, I’m sure Baobao and I would love to meet Xiaoying again.
Katie was incredible! She was so caring to my cat and provided lovely and detailed updates and photos during her check-ins. I could tell that Mini-Wheat, who is very shy in general, was comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be contacting her again next time I need someone to cat-sit for me again!
Karen did an amazing job taking care of my four cats while I was away. They are mostly senior cats with very different personalities and individual needs, including medications, and she handled everything really well. She made sure each kitty got plenty of attention and care, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I hadn’t traveled in over a year since one of my cats was diagnosed with a genetic heart condition, so leaving them was especially stressful for me. Karen made the whole trip feel worry-free and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. When I got home, everyone looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated how attentive and loving Karen was with them, and I would absolutely trust her to care for my cats again.

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.
