“Karla did an excellent job taking care of Lucas. She was able to get him to slowly trust her and I could see in the photos his slowly letting down his guard. She always was willing to help out if he got sick. I appreciated the peace of mind with having her care for him.”
“John was great with my two kitties! Always had detailed summaries of their visits which was amazing! It’s hard to find people who are reliable. Great experience overall!!”
“Gwen was an incredible pet sitter! We left our cat and kitten in her care for a 2 week overseas trip, and when we returned the two of them were so happy and relaxed. She carefully followed all our tips and requests regarding litter & food, and worked seamlessly with the general quirks of our older famhouse-style building (like windows being left open/closed, making sure the cats didn't escape via the front door etc). She also sent us adorable updates about each of the cats every day of our trip, including photos, which were very comforting and cute to receive when we were so far away. We will definitely reach out to Gwen to pet sit again :D”
“Kaylee F was a great choice to care for my cat Hughie. We were going out of town to visit family on short notice and she was a huge help. She provided Hughie with playtime, companionship and treats and made sure he always had fresh water and food and treats. She was kind and thoughtful.”
“I’m a repeat client of Rucha’s. She cares for my Suki like her own cat and is super responsive. She has all the qualities you want in a reliable sitter; anytime I’m out of town, I can call on Rucha and feel less stressed about leaving my Suki at home.”
“Alexandra checked in every day, sent me photos of every visit and even marked to let me know if he’d used the litter box. My cat seems to have liked playing and getting pets from her, so kitty approved 👍”
“Sarah took great care of Peri and was very communicative throughout our time away. We appreciated the thorough updates and her amenability to helping us with pet care relatively last minute. We will definitely contact her again for future pet care needs!”
About: Hello! Growing up my family always had dogs and my favorite thing to do is brush them. I’ve been dog sitting consistently since high school. I have experience with large reactive dogs, so whether you have an angel or a problem child Ive got plenty of love and patience for them:) I have one kitty at home and no dogs. I tried walking the cat but she’s determined to stay indoors so here I am! I’m happily self employed! That means my schedule can be whatever it needs to be. No time is off limits. But I do have a special place in my heart for morning walks because they start my day on the right foot. I will follow your instructions to a T! Nobody knows your pet better than you do, so to keep them happy and safe I will defer to your instructions.
“Emily did a fantastic job caring for my young cat (~6 months) while I was out of town for a few days. She sent detailed descriptions of how the cat was doing, what they got up to, and lots of good pictures. She also brought in a package that was delivered to me while I was gone. This was my first time using Rover and I was happy with the app/website and Emily's attention to my cat.”
“Kirsten was amazing! She took great care of my three cats while I was gone for 3.5 weeks. She made sure to send me photos and videos every day, and it was clear in those videos how much the cats adored her! I would absolutely re-hire her to take care of my cats in the future.”
“Riss was absolutely wonderful with our two Havanese, Bastien and Tally! She was timely, attentive, responsible, and immediately put me at ease, plus the pups took to her immediately as well :) Tally is still a puppy and actively learning his house manners, and I was especially impressed that Riss took the initiative to work on some training exercises with him while she was here. It was clear that she was genuinely engaged with both dogs rather than simply keeping an eye on them. Riss is also warm, sociable, and incredibly easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable leaving the boys in her care, and I would not hesitate to have her watch them again. We’re so glad we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and caring sitter!”
“Christel was absolutely wonderful with our two rabbits over Thanksgiving break!! She was incredibly courteous and communicative, and it was clear how much care she put into looking after our boys. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to watch an exotic species on short notice and came home to happy, well-cared-for bunnies. We would gladly book with her again, highly recommend!”
“Valerie was fantastic taking care of my cat Riku! She was very communicative, sent lots of pics, and it felt easy to trust her. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I have years of experience with dogs and cats of all ages. Including dog sitting and walking many ages from 1-12 years old with great care! I will be reliable and a great friend to your pet! I am currently working part time and would have plenty of time to walk or hangout with your furry friend during the week and weekends. Mornings and nights work best but very flexible. I will care for your pet however you would like in any way. I am very flexible and will be able to follow through with anything needed.
About: I have been caring for dogs since we got our own pet dog when I was 8. Since then, we have fostered many puppies, and I have become a volunteer raiser and sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have lots of experience with different kinds of pet care for all kinds of different pets. I am a senior student at Ithaca College with a very light schedule this semester! I would love to spend my free time caring for your pets. I am familiar with exercising and entertaining pets, or practicing any training you may request. I also make a great snuggle buddy for your pets whether on the furniture or on the floor :)
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Home
Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our cats. Karla really gives the time and attention to our diabetic fur ball and makes sure his siblings are well looked after too. She is a really great communicator and her rover reports keep us confident that our little dudes are in good hands. Thank you Karla.
John took care of our cat Snowball via drop-in visits while we were away off and on for two weeks in the summer. John was excellent in every way! Before the trip, he came over to meet Snowball, asked lots of questions, and took detailed notes. He took fantastic care of her, sending detailed updates each day with photos (which my daughter loved!). As first-time cat owners, were so thankful she was in good hands. John was wonderful and we would highly recommend him! Thank you, John!
Rachel was phenomenal. She cared for our dog and two cats for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone more personable, reliable, or genuinely kind. All three pets absolutely loved her. She didn’t just stop in — she engaged with them, played with them, and made sure each one felt comfortable and cared for. One of our cats needed daily medication, and Rachel worked closely with us to find the best delivery method. She even picked up the medication from our vet when it ran out. Beyond pet care, she fed our outdoor birds and watered our plants without us asking — such a thoughtful touch. Her schedule was perfect: a full hour (or more) every morning, another hour (or more) in the evening, plus an extra midday stop for a quick dog potty break. We felt completely at ease the entire week. We truly loved having Rachel care for our pets, and we recommend her without hesitation. John & Pamela
Aleta is so great with my timid and elderly kitty. She has very patiently gotten Mona to come out and be a bit more social over time. Also, she thinks of everything from treats to drawing the blinds during heat waves to keep my cat cool. When my return date changed abruptly, she was accommodating and supportive. A better pet sitter is not to be found!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
