“Tina was excellent, she followed the instructions precisely. She was always on time, thorough and friendly. She sent lots of pictures and videos and communicated with us frequently while we were away. She handled our kittens with care and we were so glad we found her on rover, highly recommended!”
“Cathy was great. Very attentive to the specifics for our cats, and had great communication with us while traveling, even reached out on a couple of things that weren’t pet-related. We will definitely request her again!”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Marx. Not only did she check in on him daily while we were away but she truly cared for him making sure he got plenty of attention, love, and mental stimulation in addition to the basics of food, water, and litter cleanings. Could not be happier in selecting Nicole to care for our family member.”
“Lindsey was so on top of Nico's care! There were things that she brought to our attention before we could even follow up with her on what to expect. Such a huge help. She really knows her animals and what is needed to take care of them.”
About: I have experience with all linda’s of pets! i grew up around animals and have a farm with goats and chickens, along with my own two dogs and cats at home. i’m currently away at college but i love spending my time off caring for pets and have really enjoyed dog sitting during the summers. i’m hoping to continue dog sitting while i'm away at school. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your pets like my own! Im currently working part time, and have classes during the week. but have extra free time to come by and sit your dogs, letting them out, walking etc. My classes aren’t all day and I have limited hours with my part time job! I make sure my dogs have their daily exercise, food and outside time. I’d be happy to give your pets lots of attention, love, exercise, and care while you’re away!
“Had another lovely visit from Kyra! It’s the best feeling when you know your pet is in the care of someone who really gets them. Pets are the best judge of character and my cat loves her visits from Kyra — enough said! Thanks as always!!”
“Katie did an absolutely amazing job with our three kitties for a seven day trip. She sent us regular updates and followed all of the information we gave her! No issues when we returned home, and we would absolutely book her again when we take a trip out of town!”
“Caitlin was wonderful with our cat Harlow! She was a great communicator, gave lots of detail about Harlow’s daily moods and activities with each visit, and promptly informed me of any concerns. Most importantly, Harlow seemed to be very happy under her care and was well taken care of. I would definitely request her services again!”
“We booked with Alison because she has experience with older pets requiring medications and we were not disappointed. Cleo looked extremely happy in the daily pictures she provided. would 100% book with Alison again.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, where I socialize with dogs and cats, take dogs on walks, play with them, and help with their overall care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m an active person, so longer walks and hikes are always a pleasure, especially for energetic dogs! I’m also happy to handle the less glamorous parts of pet care. If your pet has an accident inside the house, I have no problem cleaning it up and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and lots of attention while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on the day and your pet’s needs. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and longer visits. Safety is always my priority. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks and make sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s routine, I can supervise them in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, or bring them to a dog park for some exercise and playtime. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets the type of activity they’re used to.
“Amy was a wonderful caretaker for Maverick! Made several calls and sent pictures of him to let us know how he was doing throughout our entire vacation! Will definitely use her services again the next time we go away!”
“My first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Cole was fabulous! Every morning and evening I received a quick note about each visit and pictures which showed how comfortable my cats were becoming with Cole. Cole quickly learned my cat’s personalities and he took wonderful care of them. Will Definitely book Cole in the future.”
“Jennifer is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had for my cat. She is attentive, super caring, punctual and very professional. I was very worried about the arrangement initially but she proved to be a person worthy of praise. Jennifer came through at the last minute when I urgently needed a sitter and provided exceptional service. You will never regret booking with her and I definitely know who to call for my pet needs when I plan on being away. Thank you for all your help Jennifer!”
“Mary Ann took excellent care of my three cats while I was away on a short trip. She was professional, communicative, and thorough with her daily check-ins, ensuring their safety and well-being. I really appreciated the daily pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
“Cheryl was great! Very communicative and my cat Pickle loves her ? I only have one set of keys to my apartment and scheduling times to get together to exchange them was easy!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Katrina for stopping by to watch/ feed our cats and she’s been great! Always on time and quick response. We recommend her for your pet caring needs.”
“Victoria is amazing! She gave Bernard the best care and comfort while we were away, from snuggles to nutrition and a clean environment. I highly recommend her for your cats or dogs.”

Katie did an absolutely amazing job with our three kitties for a seven day trip. She sent us regular updates and followed all of the information we gave her! No issues when we returned home, and we would absolutely book her again when we take a trip out of town!
I was very happy with Jenny as my cat sitter. She was very thorough with feeding the kitties and took a lot of time to brush Sweetheart and give her lots of attention. Shadow even came out a few times, something she rarely does. Jenny did a great job keeping the litter pan clean and throwing away the garbage. She also brought my mail in. I received a nice note daily as well as several photos. I would recommend her highly.

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.

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 .

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.
