“I’ve never left my cats at home alone before when I’ve travelled and I was nervous about the drop ins but Melissa was fantastic - super communicative, knowledgeable and followed all the directions. I highly recommend her.”
“Patricia was great with my two cats! Even though it was her first visit, both of my indoor kitties came out and greeted her. My senior cat, Juliet, who only likes me and my daughter, actually came out to say hi to Patricia! She truly is a cat person and will take good care of your fur babies. I’m sure I will be booking her again!”
“Merlette was super helpful when my travel got delayed and I needed a local cat sitter. She asked thoughtful questions and dropped in on my pet cat, and administered her medication.”
“Deborah was great with our kitty when we travelled in June. She's very professional and responsive, and provides detailed updates after each visit, including lots of photos. She was very good about following instructions, and extremely responsible. Our kitty is very social and we were very worried about leaving her for a long period, but Deborah's detailed updates and attention to detail put our minds at ease. I highly recommend Deborah!”
“I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!”
“Xiao was a great petsitter for my Persian cat, Maya. She was patient and Maya warmed up to her quickly. She was respectful of the place and on time with appointments giving updates during her visits. We look forward to booking with her again.”
“It was so great having Irina come and check on my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She was really communicative, and responsible, and my cat took a liking to her immediately! Thank you so much Irina!!”
“Kyla was awesome! She was always on time and made sure our kitties were doing good while we were away. She was super responsive and quick on updates. We loved all the pictures and will definitely be a repeat customer! ?”
“I am so thankful to have found Michael! He is absolutely extraordinary! He is very thorough and does even more than I expect every time. We have 5 cats and they all have a different personality and different needs. He is very sweet to each of them so I never worry when we are gone! I couldn’t be happier with Michael and his pet sitting qualifications, thank you again for everything you have done for my furry ones!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.
“Yasmin was fantastic! Above and beyond! There was some challenges getting into my house and on the last day because I wasn't as clear as I should've been with my instructions. But she was calm and cool and took extra time on both visits without any complaints, did everything that need to be doneand was very gracious about the whole thing. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One, Tiga, was rescued from my yard, and the other, Truffle, was adopted from a shelter. I also have plenty of experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. I’ve cared for cats that need medication as well. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can usually fit cat visits into my daily routine. I mainly offer drop-in visits and boarding for cats. I can help with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication if needed, and providing attention and playtime based on each cat’s personality and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for their space. I carefully follow all instructions, ensure pets are well fed and comfortable, and keep the home tidy. I understand that many cats can be shy, so I take a gentle, patient approach and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I also provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.
“Thank you Cyndi for taking care of Jack and Guiness and sending us the pictures, it gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing that Cyndi was taking care of our 2 cats! I can highly recommend Cyndi”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.
“Rachael was AMAZING! Your fur babies are in great hands with her. She was extremely attentive to all the special care our senior kitty needed, was quick to reply and easy to get ahold of, and did a fantastic job with all the little extra house tasks while we were away for a few days. Cannot recommend her enough!”

We’re so glad we found Patti! After using many different pet sitters over the years, I can genuinely say that Patti has been the most authentic and genuinely caring sitter we’ve found! She is someone you can truly trust and rely on. We were away for three weeks, and she took wonderful care of our lovely cat, Mellow through a combination of drop-in visits and house sitting. She was incredibly attentive, trustworthy, easy to work with, and most importantly, genuinely caring toward Mellow. We came home to a very happy, relaxed cat and a clean and organized home. Patti also thoughtfully kept an eye on the feral cats in our backyard and made sure their automatic feeder was refilled on time. Her rates are also reasonable, and she was incredibly accommodating with us. Since our stay was quite long and some dates fell under higher holiday rates, she kindly worked with us and adjusted the booking rates on her end, which we really appreciated. You can truly tell that Patti genuinely loves and cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was with her, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Kyla was professional, courteous, dependable, and took excellent care of my cat,Baxter. She provided a great sense of comfort and peace of mind for me to leave my cat under her care for five days. Twice a day, I received pictures showing me that Baxter was being well cared for. All my directions for his care, including medication, meals, litter box and treats were followed to the letter.For future care of my pet, there would be no hesitation on my part to entrust Baxter‘s care with Kyla. Thank you💕
I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!
I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!
Deborah is a wonderful pet caretaker. Our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and has to take oral medication every day and even though we have only been doing this regime for a week she was willing to jump in and help for the holiday weekend. She clearly loves animals and communicated while about how he was doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again when we are out of town!
Rong is fantastic! She’s taken care of my kitty a couple of times now and always does a great job. She’s been super accommodating to last minute schedule changes, and is always kind and thorough. My cat loves her and I feel so much better leaving knowing Rong is watching her!

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.

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.
