“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”
“a wonderful sitter with a great amount of care put into her work! followed care instructions perfectly. would leave my baby in her care again! good picture updates and detailed notes were left for every visit.”
“I have had Lori stay with my cat twice now. She is great! Everytime I travel it seems that a flight gets cancelled or delayed, and she is always happy to stay the extra time until I can make it home. My cat is always happy and relaxed when I return. Thank you, Lori!”
“Tabitha is the best! She's taken care of our babies several times now and has gracefully handled everything from our Chihuahua with spinal stenosis to our big old grumpy cichlid aquarium fish, to our COVID cat who has met four people in her life. Somehow she got the kitty to warm up to her and got to pet her! She sends you pics of your fur babies and you can just tell she's got a real love for animals.”
“Zachary was very quick to respond to messages and was very flexible with time for the meet up prior, even when everything was very last minute! He took care of our kitties well, and we will definitely book him again if the need arises.”
“Emma was absolutely amazing with my two cats while I was away for vacation! She was able to give my cat his inhaler and meds with ease. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures, and left my apartment in great condition. Definitely recommend her for your furry babies!”
“Heather was fantastic! I felt very comfortable having her look after our two cats for the weekend. She was great about communication and my typically shy cats took to her right away, which made me feel very at ease. I would trust her to care for them again any time. Thanks, Heather!”
“I’m late on this review. Amanda was amazing with our “Boys”. They were not stressed when we got home. It was like we were only gone for a bit. Her check ins and pictures were so appreciated. Would recommend her over and over.”

“Mikayla looked after our cat while we were on vacation. Even though our cat never came out to greet her Mikayla made sure she was well taken care of! She was prompt on all of my messages and made our first time using Rover a breeze!”
“Matt was very attentive and went above and beyond while he cared for my two large dogs. It was a relief to know that my dogs were in good hands while I was away for a week. I would not hesitate to rebook with Matt in the future or refer him to friends and family in need of pet sitting services.”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ellis
Anna was wonderful! She accepted the booking quickly, and we connected right away to go over everything we needed so we could feel comfortable leaving for our trip. She followed all of our instructions, sent photos of our pets, and took our dog out for a walk. Knowing they were well cared for gave us real peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Anna again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
