“All was well upon our return - thanks for all your help, Jillian! Our two cats definitely have different personalities. Glad you were able to connect with them both on their own terms 😊”
“Cristina is out go to sitter. We have rebooked with her many times and she is always super communicative and takes great care of our 3 cats (bonus all the great pics of the cats she shares in daily updates). I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“What a treasure Rachel is! I just recently moved to South Windsor and unfortunately my last sitter could not make the travel, so I had to start the process of finding a new one two weeks before my trip. My cats are post-Covid pets and I work from home full time, so that is to say they are ALWAYS around me! Bc of their constant human presence I have a lot of anxiety about leaving them IIt’s not them, it’s me), so I was not totally surprised that the first two novella-length anxiety purge sitting requests I sent declined instantly lol. Rachel was undeterred though, and accepted the daunt of my manifesto. She showed up right on time for meet and greet, despite a thunder and lightning downpour! She impressed me instantly with her positive attitude and polite demeanor, and as I was walking her around the house showing her things, she recalled details from my email that I had forgotten I wrote. Incredible!! I felt at ease right away. The sit went flawlessly. She has a gift, and my two single-human-bonded girls warmed up to her right away, coming out to see her upon arrival and staying during her sit for treats and play and PLAY SHE DID! Let me assure you - she uses the time to actually entertain them instead of just “sitting.” She also went above and beyond elsewhere; going down to the basement to clean up litter-robot tossings (totally on her own volition!), brought my trash bins up to the curb, and brought in my mail for me. I had also mentioned that I have cameras in the house to keep an eye on the cats if needed, and gave her permission to unlplug them during her stay if they made her uncomfortable but she did not; which says a heck of a lot about her character. I’m so thankful she yes’d me after the two immediate no’s. She put my mind at complete ease. I didn’t even feel compelled to check on the cameras at all - in every photo she sent the girls looked happy and engaged, and her updates were concise and useful. She gave me my vacation back and I’m submitting another request as soon as I click “post.””
“As always, Patricia was amazing and so great with my cats. She gives my elderly cat medication on time and my shy cat warmed right up to her. I hope to always be able to book her!”
“Brook Lyn did a great job watching my cats! She kept me updated, informed me on things around the house and my pets, made sure things were left clean if not cleaner. I will absolutely rebook and recommend her for future sittings!”
“Laura was awesome! She took great care of my elderly cat while I was away for the holiday weekend. Gave her lots of enrichment and sent pictures to make us feel good about being away from her. I will 100% book with Laura again when needed!”
“Joanna took care of our cat over the last week and was awesome! She sent us lots of pictures and Dorito warmed up to her super quickly! She was also very respectful of our house. Would 100% re-book with her!”
“Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.”
“Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.”
“Margaret was awesome! I was very comfortable with her watching my cat after our meet and greet. She left great notes and always send pictures from the visit. Highly recommend!”
“This is the 2nd time Le'Andra took care of my cat Gabby while I was out of town She did a great job! I plan to request Le'Andra again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
“We will definitely be using Callan in the future! We just adopted a 1-2 year old pup with separation anxiety. Callan was very responsive and very sweet. Our pup loved having a visitor!”

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 .

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 .
