“jessica started kitten-sitting for us in October. ive booked her multiple times and each time she's been punctual, communicative, respectful, and a joy to have as mika's sitter. ive written a review before, but another one because her service is always on point!”
“This is the second time Kerry has taken care of my two cats- they are super shy but warmed up to her quickly! I missed them terribly but the pictures and updates Kerry sent me comforted me while I was gone! Will be booking with her again!”
“My wife and I went away for a 9-day trip, and Priscilla boarded our lively, 4-month puppy and we arranged that she would drop in on our 2-year old cat every other day. Priscilla suggested that she could bring the puppy with her when she visited our cat. This was a great suggestion! Priscilla is sweet, and she took care of our animals as though they were her own. I'd recommend her pet sitting and boarding services to anyone.”

“Kiera did an amazing job as always watching our dog and cat! Great at communicating, and the pets love her. We had piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town.”
“Elizabeth was amazing. She loved my dogs as if they were her own. She provided pictures and was punctual to the drop ins. Her communication was great. I would definitely book again.”
“This is our first time using a service to take care of our dog. We were a little apprehensive. Lorena came for a meet and greet, and alleviated our worries. She was warm, kind and friendly during her visit with us and our dog. She took great care of him for the 5 days we reserved. Great pictures, and communication throughout the process. We could tell that she truly cared, and took great pride in taking care of our pup. We will and are going to ask her to help us again. She is terrific.”
“Rubi was so great with Shadow! She took him for walks and had him playing with toys he didn't even like to play with when we were playing 😂. She made sure he was looked after and sent me plenty of updates and pictures!”
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
“Victoria was incredible. She kept us so well informed on how our three dogs were doing while she was caring for them. Very detail-oriented and very hands on with our kids. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Brandi went above and beyond for our old girl. I never would have expected to have such an amazing experience and I am forever grateful for all of the attention, treats, walks, love, and care Brandi gave our special needs pup. I hope she never stops being available :D”

When we met, it was clear she had a ton of experience and she was so patient with our high-energy pitties, who absolutely loved seeing her every day! You cannot miss if you book Caroline, she's passionate, communicative, flexible, and the dogs love her.”
“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elkridge
Nicole was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite parts was receiving the photos and videos of Penny—they made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Nicole genuinely cared about Penny and went above and beyond to make sure she was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and hardworking pet sitter. We’re so grateful for her! 😻🐾
Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!
Kelly was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Luna and Oliver. She was very proactive in her communication and provided detailed updates on how the two were doing, which gave us peace of mind during our travels given Luna’s regular health issues. The cats were clearly very comfortable with Kelly and we greatly appreciated the care and attention she gave to them to ensure they were happy and well-taken care of. She even went the extra mile to help us out during an unexpected incident, which was a huge lifesaver for us. We highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets and wants to give them the best experience when you’re away!

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.
