“Jaime is a very responsible and kind pet-sitter. She took great care of my senior cat while I was away for two weeks. I will definitely ask her to take care of Moustaches in the future.”
“Sage was a great cat sitter! She gladly looked after my cat during the week of Christmas, and I can tell he was happy to have the company! She sent great pictures and updates with each visit and was very responsive. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Best cat sitter ever. My cat is super shy but she loves her! Whenever we travel she's the first person I go to because I know she'll not only take care of my cat, but also make sure my house is okay as well.”
“Christine is very sweet and kind. She was very gentle with my 15 year old girl and accommodating to her needs. She is very prompt with scheduled times almost to the minute. I trust Christine fully and am confident in the care she gives to my precious girl!”
“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
“Emma was so attentive and communicative while dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She followed all the instructions and kept us updated with pictures and descriptions of the drop ins. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“i was a very nervous dog mom and a first time rover user who requested a drop in from allison while we were out of town. she was patient, kind, and prompt for her visit with our two big (and loud) dogs. thank you allison!”
“We are so thankful to have found Mallory to care for our two, 8 month old cats! We've had a number of health issues with both of them since adoption which has required us to be close to home and forgo any overnight trips out of town including over the Holidays. We decided to take a chance with finding someone to care for them during a 3 day trip over the kids Feb vacation and chose Mallory based on her experience caring for sick kitties. She was so kind and thorough in learning what their needs were at our meet & greet that we were immediately assured that we were in good hands. During our trip she communicated with us at each visit regarding their feedings, digestive issues, and overall well being. She was patient with their needs and also spent extra time playing & cuddling with them which really put the kitties at ease. Upon returning it felt like we had only been out for the afternoon and it was obvious that the kitties had grown attached to her in the short time we were away. We feel like we've hit the jackpot in finding Mallory and will continue to utilize her gentle expertise not just for trips away but for wellness checks as well. We can't thank her enough and feel lucky that we now have someone to provide care above and beyond a neighbor popping in. Thank you Mallory!”
“Benjamin was amazing with my cat Pigeon. He's extremely thoughtful, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure my boy was comfortable while I was out of town for the holidays. He communicated every day, sent lots of pictures, and gave my cat the quality human time he very much needs. Pigeon loved hanging with him, and should I need to leave again, I know who to call!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was a child, and I see them as part of the family. I got my first dog when I was eleven, but our house grew and grew with multiple dogs, and I currently help care for my family's six dogs. In addition, my parents and I have fostered dogs together, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, including those who needed extra patience, structure, and reassurance while adjusting to new environments. I have years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, including overnight stays, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving my full affection and attention. Through fostering, I learned how to read dog behavior, help dogs feel safe in unfamiliar situations, and learned to support basic routines and transitions. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to learning each pet's individual needs. I will always take the time to learn their routines, levels of energy, and their own personalities so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved by me while their owners are away. I'm currently a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be very present and attentive to the pets I'm caring for. I'm able to plan my days around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your pets will receive consistent care throughout the day. My top priorities are always to create a safe, trusting environment and to ensure a comfortable atmosphere. I make sure all pets feel secure, calm, and loved. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency as needed and possible. In a client's home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I'm very mindful of my surroundings during walks. I also take the time to get to know each pet's personality so I know how to respond appropriately to their needs and comfort levels. Communication is key, so I always provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where all pets feel comfortable and cared for, and each owner feels confident they've left their pets in good hands.

“Avery was consistent and went above and beyond what I expected when I booked her services. I was thinking she would show up, feed me cats, and leave. Instead she spent a little time with them and gave them attention. It was definitely appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Alma was very professional and took great care of my cat Eddie. He's on the anxious side and can be wary of new people, she was able to make him feel comfortable enough to approach for scratches.”
“Charlie did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Ivy. She did everything just like we had discussed. She kept me informed about Ivy and sent pictures at every visit. I can honestly say that Charlie is a fantastic cat sitter. Thanks so much.”
“This is the second time Zoe has watched my two cats and she does such a great job. Whenever I go on trips I know I’m leaving them in good hands in Zoe’s care. She always sends pictures and I come home to two well-fed and happy cats.”
“If you need a phenomenal pet sitter, Ashton is the one! Absolutely incredible service from start to finish. My fur babies were totally obsessed, and getting such great updates everyday made being away so much easier. 10 out of 10, would recommend!”

Taite took such good care of our kitties! We had such peace of mind knowing Taite was looking after them while we were away. She was responsive and communicative. Our very skittish cat was so comfortable with her, even letting her pet him. Thanks for helping him get out of his shell.

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.
