“Karlee was a fantastic sitter for our two elderly cats. We really appreciated how much attention she gave them, how communicative she was, and how she made sure to let us know if there was something specific she needed to take care of the cats (like finding cleaning supplies for accidents.) We never felt like we had a thing to worry about for our girls while we were gone. I'd recommend Karlee to anybody!”
“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“Amber did an amazing job taking care of our five cats! We have some scaredy cats and some more growly ones and she respected each of their boundaries. We came home to very happy cats. She also handled giving one of our more growly cats a pill each day with no issues. Very happy with Amber as a cat sitter and would recommend using her!”
About: I have taken care/watched friends and families' dogs for about 2 years now! I currently have a cavapoo puppy that I am currently training. I am very responsive and give lots of communication on what is going on. I work full time but can stop by early in the morning and then right after work at 5:00pm, M-F. More flexible on the weekends. I follow your routine/rules that you have with your pup. Super reliant when it comes to making sure your dog is safe while you are away.
“Maria watched our cats while we were gone for a week and she was awesome. She sent daily updates with pics, the cats were happy when we got home, and everything was taken care of. Super reliable, we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Elaine was superb! She was quick to respond with booking, she was welcoming upon our arrival and she sent text with pictures to keep us informed on his status. I was at ease knowing our cat was in Elaine’s care. She and her family offered him a warm and safe environment. Highly recommend!”
“Sterling went above and beyond during a particularly difficult situation with one of our cats. His patience, kindness, and professionalism were exceptional, and he continued to prioritize our pet's well-being throughout the experience. We were impressed by his calm demeanor and dedication, and we're so thankful for the care he provided. We highly recommend him.”
“It's great having Mallory look after my kitty! She's excellent with his care and needs, and makes me not worry about my little guy while I'm away which I really appreciate. 😺”
“Andrea was amazing! She made a point to meet our cats before we left on our trip. She was punctual and thorough, plus she obviously enjoyed her visits - offering play time, brushing, and scritches. Our cats are shy with strangers so we weren't sure if she'd even see all four every visit, but not only did she see them they all came out to interact! We felt completely at ease enjoying our vacation with her help at home.”
“Andy was outstanding! I booked him very short notice and he came the very next day for a meet-and-greet! I could tell my sweet kitty would like him. During the booking, he showed up everyday at the exact time he said he would and perfectly followed directions. My cat took to him very quickly, showed his belly, and became very vocal—all great signs! Every drop-in report was exceptionally thorough and had soooooooo many pics! I will definitely be booking Andy again in the future! I just cannot thank him enough :)!”
“Rachel was fantastic with my two cats! It was our first time leaving them for such a long time and she sent great pictures with helpful comments that let us know they were doing. I would absolutely recommend her!!”

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 .
