“Abbey is responsible and thoughtful. My cat loves her. He hardly comes out to see anyone when I’m away but Abbey always manages to get him to play with her. It’s hard to leave home without my pet but knowing Abbey will be loving on him makes it’s better. Will definitely book with her again.”
“We are so happy that we found Madison! She took excellent care of our kitty, and also the house. She was very communicative and dependable. We can’t wait to have her back!”
“Taylor has been the best Rover sitter so far! She was so kind and thoughtful. She has excellent communication skills including offering a lot of photos of her time with my sweet Daisy. And kept my home tidy while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor!”
“Jessie was fantastic! She took great care of our cats while we were away. She was very thorough with the litter boxes, spent some time playing with them, and sent us lots of adorable photos, which we really appreciated. We also have a pretty complicated apartment entry system that requires using an app, and she was so patient and willing to work with it without any complaints. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. We’d definitely book with Jessie again!”
“Emily was a great help! The clear and informative communication provided us with the reassurance needed to have peace of mind while away. We definitely plan to book with Emily as needed and able to again in the future. Thank you, Emily!”

“Amanda was a great sitter!! She was very attentive to my cat Buffy and she gave me very detailed updates about how she's doing each day. Her pictures were great and my cat loved her!”
“Kait is amazing! Very communicative and punctual, sends the cutest pictures and spend the time to write up a full report on the visit. Kacey was immediately drawn to Kait, and we all know our pets have the best instincts ? Kait is fantastic, will be booking her again! Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! ?”
“Sahara did a great job keeping my old kitty happy for a week while I was out of town. She is really good at communicating and kept me updated for the whole week. Thanks Sahara!”
“Olivia is the best. I had to go back to work while my pup was still recovering from getting fixed. Her nursing background made her the perfect choice. She is always on time and is meticulous about following care instructions. Highly recommend!”
“Julia did such an amazing job with my two cats! I loved reading the messages she left after each visit. She was also very accommodating when there was a sudden change to my schedule. I would highly recommend Julia!”
About: I love any and all dogs. I would love to play, walk, feed, and love on your dog when you can’t. I have grown up with dogs my entire life.. I lost my 16 year old golden and need to be around some pets! I can be very flexible with times and will work with your schedule as needed. I will communicate with you as much or as little as you would like, to take the ease of being away from your loved one more comfortable. I work full time Monday-Thursday 8-5.

Amanda was great with my cat RC! Amanda came on time, fed RC each visit, scooped the litter box and spent lots of time sitting with RC for cuddles. Not every Rover sitter will sit and give attention to a cat, so it was so wonderful that Amanda spent time engaging RC and sent many pictures!

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.

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 .
