“Yifei did a great job and took care of 2 cats for 15 days very well. Spent time with them and sent tens of pictures everyday. I will definitely go with her again next time. Highly recommend.”
“Mark was just fantastic looking after my boys: communicative, conscientious, and just a true animal lover. He really took the time to get my cats to warm up to him, and just had such a mellow demeanor. Highly recommend him (and will use his services again if you don’t snag him first!).”

About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for four wonderful dogs who became much more than pets; they become my best friends and part of my family. They taught me so much about unconditional love, patience and responsibility and the special bond she shared with our furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals in general, getting to know their personalities and understanding their needs and making them feel happy, safe and love will be my priority. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care requires trust. I want you to feel confident that your best friend will be receiving my full attention, patience and genuine care. I’m currently available only the weekends Saturdays and Sundays with full time availability. Whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a hike, or enjoy a long walk, provide drop in visits of care of your furry friend while you are traveling over the weekends, I’d be happy to help. I will always 100% follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, water walks, play time, medication routines and any specific needs or preferences. I’m very strict when it comes to your dogs or cats safety, it will be my priority. For this reason I believe communication is essential I love providing updates, pictures, or calls with the owners so they can enjoy their time away knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Gabi was an incredibly attentive, caring sitter for our kitty! She provided house sitting for four nights, and did a fabulous job. We returned home to a very relaxed, happy kitty with no stress. We could tell from the regular updates that she got lots of play time and kept to her routine very well. Gabi loved on Shootki so much and it's clear she absolutely loves and understands cats! We felt confident being away, and not worried. We would highly recommend Gabi for house sitting kitties, as she is caring, great with cat care, and very responsible!”
“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. They took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious my cat felt safe and relaxed, which says everything. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with them 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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
