“Marina did a wonderful job! She was very friendly, easy to work with, and kept me updated the entire time. If I ever leave on another vacation, I'll make sure to see if she's available. If you have cats and want to make sure they're well looked after, please consider doing the same!!”

“I have 3 cats, all older and all on some form of at least one medication. Erika handles them without a problem. She's flexible with time and arrives promptly for their twice a day visits. It's a relief knowing I can rely on her when I need to travel. Best of all, the cats are not traumatized and I'm not subjected to cattitude when I return. Thank you Erika!”
“Our youngest cat is super shy and always hides when we have a guest over, but she doesn’t hide from Selah and actually lets her pet and play with her. So happy our little one is comfortable and our older cat enjoys Selah too!”

“Mry is very sweet , caring ,professional and thorough.. She is prompt and personable, and my 3 kitties. Casper, Jacob and Cosmo all loved her !!! Thank you Mry!! You are awesome!! Will definitely go with Mry again! She is Top Notch!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of different breeds and walking dogs of all sizes. I love spending time outdoors and making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. Having owned an energetic American Bully, I know how important regular activity, attention, and patience are for dogs. I currently work as a grooming assistant, which has given me even more hands-on experience with animals of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, grooming care, or cuddles, I treat every pet like family and always follow your instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets. I can combine my work with pet care — just message me to check my availability for the day you need. When I care for pets at the client's home, I follow all instructions to keep pets safe and happy. I also clean up after them and keep their space tidy.
“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”

“Katherine was great at being on time and doing everything she was supposed to for my cat Arya - wet food, topping off fountain and refilling spare water bowl, cleaning litter box and taking a photo of Arya. She was communicative and let me know if there was anything wrong and brought in my Amazon package! She left great notes after each visit. Will book again in the future!”


“Long story short, Jaclyn is the best version of what I think Rover sitters should be. Assuming her availability matches up with my trips in the future, I will always book her again and again! Long story long: Everytime I move, I have to find a new sitter or sitting service for my two kitties. It is always an anxiety filled experience. This time, I turned to Rover. Rover wasn't offered where I used to live when I first looked (a couple years ago) but I'm so glad I now live in an area that offers it. Of course, I want to have the best sitter for a rate that won't make my kitties and I homeless in the long run. But I will always choose quality over budget. Luckily, Jaclyn fit into both categories. Before I went on vacation for a week, Jaclyn came over to meet my kitties and learn about their routine. During the meet and greet, she completely put my mind at ease. She was crawling around on the floor of my apartment trying to help me coax my nervous kitties out from under the bed. She took notes as I mentioned feeding, toys, etc. We talked for nearly an hour about my cats, her cats, our jobs, etc. I felt like she was a genuinely nice person who really, truly loves cats. Before she even left our meet and greet, I knew I was going to book her. Even though I knew Jaclyn was the best choice and that my kitties were going to be in good hands, I still get nervous before leaving for a trip. This was the first time in years that I was leaving my cats alone (no roommate now) with only a daily drop-in visit from a sitter. A new apartment, a new sitter, a new neighborhood... all while I was in a completely different country. My mama anxiety was on full blast. I left a lengthy, itemized letter detailing everything I could think of (some of it she already knew but some was new info) and setup everything Jaclyn could need for her visits. I filled their automatic wifi feeders full of dry food and made everything as simple as I could. Thankfully everything went smoothly. No emergencies and no incidents that Jaclyn couldn't handle easily on her own. She sent me two pictures every visit and notes about what she did or how the kitties were acting. I always waited anxiously for her text each night (different time zones make it harder) and as soon as she would text, I was able to relax for the evening. Once, when I noticed that the temperature was supposed to be getting high in the valley, I texted her to make sure my apartment wasn't getting too hot and she reassured me that it was still very cool inside and the kitties weren't reacting to the heat at all. She didn't seem annoyed when I messaged her out of the blue with each neurotic worry. When my flight home was canceled and I had to stay another night, she was kind enough to clean up everything one last time so I didn't have to worry about cleaning when I got home and could just hang out with my kitties. By the third visit, both kitties were really looking forward to her showing up for play time and their wet food meal. I'm pretty sure they like Jaclyn's visits so much that when I finally came home, they were confused why it wasn't her walking through the door and immediately tried to get me to play with them like she would. Haha.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and absolutely love caring for them. I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your furry family member. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication according to your instructions, or simply some company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own dog. I’m self-employed and also work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care around my schedule. I’m happy to arrange walks, drop-ins and pet sitting in advance, and I’ll always be upfront about my availability. I love spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m happy to follow your normal routine, feeding schedule, walking instructions and any specific house rules you have. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality and boundaries and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and playtime. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and will keep you updated while your pet is in my care.
About: Hi, I’m Sofia—I’m currently working from home as a graphic designer. I’m a life-long dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and great with shy or cautious animals. I’ll make sure your furry (or feathered!) friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus—I’m also an illustrator, so let me know and I can draw your pet as a little keepsake! I’m currently working part-time and remotely so I have a flexible schedule to be there for your pets! I’m happy to accommodate and discuss how I can be of service. I follow your home’s rules and your pet’s care instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and you feel confident. I always double-check gates, locks, and am extra careful when opening doors. I keep a close eye on curious noses and paws—whether that means keeping terriers out of the trash or making sure no one snacks on mystery items during walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!

My dog, Pickles, loves other dogs and would love a play companion for the day! I work from home and can take the time to make sure your dog is doing well. I do 2 walks/day and will play with your dog in between my meetings! My chihuahua mix, Pickles, is very friendly. The apartment has a balcony with a small grass patch for business.

About: I have cared for & been around dogs my entire life. From volunteering at animal shelters as a kid to dog/catsitting at my friends and families houses, there is nothing I love more than making a new furry friend. Seriously, I will stop every dog I see to say hi. And if having personalized merch of my two dogs doesn’t say enough, I don’t know what will! I am currently working on a hybrid schedule with lots of flexibility & plenty of time to bond with your pet. I also have no commitments on the weekends!

About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
“Hiba took a good care of my baby boy Phil. She followed my instructions and Phil told me all about good time they spent together during my absence. He also complained that I left him for long time but do not mind to hang out with Hiba again if I need to leave in the future. Definitely will hire Hiba again!”

Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.

Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!

Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!

Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town

Erika is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is so patient and has a very calming presence. My cat usually ignores strangers and refuses to play with them, but took to her right away and loved playing with her! She is deeply caring and I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. Highly recommend!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
