“Lucy was fantastic! I higly recommend her for drop in visits. We have two very reclusive cats who hide from strangers. Lucy successively gave insulin shots twice a day dealing with our angry, unhappy Lily. She worked out a routine that reduced stress on Lily. She also did awesome taking care of our 6 geckos while we were gone.”
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
About: I've had multiple dogs all my life (all shelter rescues of all sizes and temperaments) and cared for them up into their senior years. From unique feeding routines to walks/runs in the early morning, to fetch, tug-of-war, midday potty breaks, and cuddles, I've done it all! I've also raised and fostered several litters of rescue kittens to be adopted, from bottlefeeding to litterbox training and handling practice. I am well learned in cleaning litterboxes, prepping midday snacks, and providing love and attention for kitties of all ages. I provide runs and walks for various dogs several days a week and house-sit on occasion during the summer. I also drop in to play with, feed, or entertain dogs whose families are away for long periods of time during the day. Because each pet is unique, I ensure clear communication of expectations from the pet's family prior to any walking or sitting. I always carefully monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or injury and am prepared to take action in the event of emergencies. I maintain regular communication with pet families when they're out of town (send pictures and updates of their pets) and organize my weekly walking schedule frequently to ensure convenience for both me and the client. As someone with pets and a love for animals, I hold myself to a high standard to make sure every animal is comfortable and thriving with any walk, run, or visit.
“Jessica was the best! I had her watch my kitties for a couple days and just loved her daily updates with all of the pictures. (She takes fab pics btw, made Kale look like a little model😁) My cats were content and relaxed when I got back so I know they were in good hands. When she returned the key to me, she gave me a little package with the nicest note and some cat treats and a cat toy which was SO NICE of her!! Will definitely be booking again, thank you Jessica!”
“Emily was very communicative and made sure to always share photos of our fur babies so that we could see they were doing great without us there. She always made sure to check off every need and went beyond our expectations in taking care of our cats. I would definitely recommend!”
“Natalie was so great with my cat, Sabrina! She’s super communicative and sends lots of pics when I’m missing my peanut. Will definitely book again, thank you so so much!”
“Juliana was amazing for watching my cat! I would definitely recommend! I could tell from both the photos and the daily reports/summary that Juliana took care to make sure my cat was well taken care of and had enriching playtime each day. Her communication prior to booking and the meet and greet were also amazing so that I felt comfortable leaving my cat. Again, would highly recommend!”
“Chelsea took great care of my cat while I was out of town for the holidays. She gave cute updates and tons of photos of my cat having a great time. She even added a day at the end of trip when my flight got delayed. I came home to a happy and healthy cat. Will book again.”
“Dear Kelly, Thank you for going out of your way to provide the best possible care for our cats, particularly my Siamak. You have left your mark on all of our hearts and we will always support you. I am grateful to have met you.”
About: Hi! I'm Caroline, and I'm currently a sophomore at UC Santa Barbara who will be home in Davis over the summer! I've grown up with 2 dogs, but I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or just to relax, I’m happy to match their vibe and make them feel safe and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications, and handling multiple pets. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, even when you’re away :) I’d love to meet you and your pet, please feel free to reach out with any questions! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m typically available for morning and evening visits and I can accommodate weekend bookings as well. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and am happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular walks, check-ins, or extra playtime, please feel free to reach out—I’ll always try to make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel secure and cared for at all times. I always follow owner instructions closely, and will update you daily. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. During walks and visits, I stay mindful of surroundings to ensure your pet stays safe. I’m also extremely respectful of your home and your pet's space, and will treat it with the same care and responsibility as my own :)
“This was the second time requesting Faith as our wonderful dog sitter!! Responded quickly, sent the cutest photos and worked with our special requests for two miniature dachshunds. I would highly recommend Faith as your next dog sitter :)”
“Alyssa went wayyy above and beyond looking after my dogs and cats. The crew all loved her, and even the shy cats came out for pictures. She really made an extra efforst to make sure my dogs got a lot of attention and treats and outside time. I highly, highly recommend her!”
“Michelle was super reliable and easy to reach. She sends photos and goes the extra mile to make sure you know your friends are being well cared for. She's my new first call if I'm going to be away.”
“Jenna was great with our two cats while we were out of town for the week! She made sure they had wet and dry food, water and clean litter boxes each day. Great communication and sent us pictures each day”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - El Macero
Jenna was great with our two orange tabby’s. She even managed to get our super scaredy cat “Rocket” to come out from hiding during her visit, which has never happened with any one else! Our kitties were relaxed and happy when we arrived home. Jenna did a great job with our babies and left our house very tidy! She is awesome! Highly recommend!
We came home to a clean house and very happy cats! Our sitter took great care of everything while we were away. Dina kept their water bowls clean and full, made sure they had wet food during her visits, and, most importantly, gave them plenty of love and attention. It was such a relief to come home to cats who were relaxed instead of upset that we’d been gone. We really appreciated the care she gave them and would happily book with Dina again.
Carmen was just the person we needed to give us peace of mind knowing our cat was cared for while we were away for the week. She followed instructions provided, asked follow up questions for clarification when needed, and showed great patience as our cat was quite shy for the first few days.
Jessica and her daughters did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable and communicative. She kept me updated and made sure everything kitties need were taken care of. My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned, which says a lot. I really appreciate their professionalism and kindness.

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.

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.
