“Tyler took such great care of our two cats over the holiday weekend, including their strict and time-consuming feeding schedule. He is definitely the type of person that animals adore! Our oldest cat tends to be very shy and always hides from new people, but he warmed up to Tyler immediately- no hiding at all! Tyler consistently had a quick response time and sent plenty of pictures throughout our entire trip. This gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so relieved to have found great pet care! Tyler is the best!”
“Our German Shepherd loves Kelsey! Anytime I’m out of town for work she lets him out for potty and play. I love getting photos and she is always responsive and on time. Thanks Kelsey!”
“Katherine did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were out of town ❤️ She sent lots of pictures, communicated regularly and promptly, and even helped us by coming one extra day when our flights got super delayed! She was wonderful and professional all around and we so appreciate her care for our pet while we were gone.”
“Brian watched Lucy over the weekend and they got along very well! Brian was great at communicating about his check-ins and how she was doing. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“Thanks so much for watching Spud, and for adding another day for me at the last minute when my flight got delayed!! Really appreciate it. He definitely enjoys playing with the kids.”
“Kate was absolutely wonderful! My cat Frannie adored her and we felt so comfortable going out of town knowing that Kate was there to drop in on Frannie. I highly recommend Kate and can't wait to have her take care of Frannie again!”
“I was so pleased with Kim. She is very responsive, conscientious and reliable. She took great care in my home and with my dog. I really appreciated her updates and pictures when taking my dog out. It is wonderful to have someone you can depend upon and know that they will be there for your pet.”
“Molly was great! She communicated very clearly and even double-checked the window of time I requested for her visits, which involved medication. I had inadvertently mentioned two different arrival times, which were close but not the same. Another person could have thought, "Oh, I'll just go at such and such a time. Close enough." But Molly took the time to reach out and double-check. I appreciated that. When visiting cat, did everything just right! I recommend Molly!! 😊”
“Kaitlyn was very responsive prior to setting up services. Her daily updates and pictures were comforting and helpful for ensuring that our two elderly cats were doing well while we were gone. We had a minor issue on one visit with her gaining access to our home, and Kaitlyn was quick to help resolve. I would not hesitate to book her again in the future.”
“Couldn’t be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!”
“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
“Beth was fantastic, she updated us with each drop in and sent pictures is just so important to us. Our pup loved her and was just so excited when she stopped by. Would love for her to sit again!”
“Alaina is amazing! She took great care of our cats while we were away, and they love her! Specially Sebastian! She went above and beyond as always to make keep them happy.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Grand Rapids
The main thing we appreciate is Jenn’s intuition. Does your cat need love and scritches? Respect and space? A little song? All of these, but in different ways on different days—because life is tough and there are happy days and hairball days and Jenn understands them all🌻
We had a great experience with Beth! She took wonderful care of our senior cat, Apollo, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions. The updates and photos gave us peace of mind, and we knew Apollo was in great hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)
Natalie was a godsend! Our kitty is very shy and does not approach easily, but she took to Natalie right away. Natalie was also very communicative with sharing updates & photos, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend, and would gladly welcome her back.
I couldn't be happier with the condition I found my pets in after asking Tim to visit them in my house. Tim took good care of my pets, sitting with them and showing them affection after changing their litter and sweeping/taking out the trash each time. Tim is reliable and diligent, I can't recommend him enough.

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.
