“I cannot recommend this sitter enough! They took absolutely wonderful care of my cat, Anya. They were incredibly responsible and detail-oriented—making sure to refill her dry food, top off her automatic water fountain, and even fill up her extra water bowls. They also gave her the exact treats I left out (freeze-dried treats and Temptations) and spent a long time actively playing with her. In addition, they also sent me the most beautiful, high-quality photos of her! I felt completely at ease. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Irina was great and went above and beyond helping look after sasha while I was away! She was really sweet and had genuine affection for sasha which made me feel at ease knowing she was well cared for. Definitely highly recommend!!”
“Bo took great care of our two cats! She followed all the instructions, was attentive to details, punctual for check-ins, and went above and beyond by getting us a new water fountain after the old one was broken. Would highly recommend Bo!”
“Mackenzie took wonderful care of our cat for an extended period of time. After every visit, she sent us detailed updates that gave us great peace of mind. We truly can’t thank her enough. Thanks to her, we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. Since she is a cat owner herself, she built a great bond with our cat. I would highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Rachel was excellent, very thorough and super reliable. My shy kitties loved her. She was great with giving Ginger her insulin. I hope no one steals Rachel away from us at our next booking!”
“Jennifer always goes above and beyond. She is flexible and willing to do more or extend more time if the situation requires. We have rebook her again and my cat is always happy and cool with her. Again, 100% recommended!”
“She has been taking care of my cat and we are more than happy! She is responsible, loving and trustworthy. We will call her again so she can take care of our cat in the future. Don't hesitate to hire her!!”
“Cheng did an excellent job taking care of my two cats while I was abroad. He followed instructions to a tee and provided many photo and video updates. I will certainly use him again if/when the need arises!”
“Yuemin was great with my two cats, I especially enjoyed the photos that she sent and her bringing in a package that arrived while I was gone. I have already booked a second visit with her!”
“Mario took great care of our dogs- when we were on vacation. We appreciate the communication and photos. We will definitely ask him to help out in the future.”
About: We are a couple who genuinely love animals and enjoy caring for them together. Mike grew up with a Golden Retriever named Lady and understands how to handle and care for dogs with patience and love. Lady spent her happy senior years together with our family, which gave us a lot of experience caring for an aging dog as well. Evie grew up with a Shih Tzu named Mashiro and was deeply involved in her care. Living with Mashiro taught her how sensitive and loving dogs are, and how important it is to provide gentle attention, patience, and a calm environment. We have already been caring for pets for some time and have built relationships with several private clients outside of Rover. Recently, we decided to join Rover to meet more wonderful pets and families in the community. We are always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. We also enjoy being active, so dogs with lots of energy are absolutely welcome. Long walks, playtime, and exercise are no problem for us. We have a bicycle, which can be great for very active dogs that enjoy running. We treat every pet as if they were our own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We provide high quality pictures for your pets when you write a review! We have a flexible schedule and are able to spend plenty of time caring for pets throughout the day. Evie is usually at home, which allows us to give pets consistent attention, walks, and playtime. We are available for boarding on weekdays and weekends and are happy to accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. We always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, and we follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, and routines. We are also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
About: Pets have become an important part of my adult life and understand their important place in a family. As a pet parent myself, I have been able to apply my experiences with Rover including medical care. I’m very active and enjoy spending time outside as much as possible. My current employment situation allows for flexibility with my schedule. In addition I am located centrally, allowing me to have access to both SF and the peninsula area. Home sittings and drop ins have been some of the things I have done for friends and their pets. For both home sitting and drop ins I have communicated with the pet parent ahead of time. Whether I have been trusted with a spare key or a door code, I respect the home as if it was a family’s member.
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
“Nicole was a great cat caregiver. She gave frequent update amd pictures of the cats enjoying pets. I was very happy with her attention to detail amd she even brought in the mail, which was very nice.”
About: Dogs have always been a large part of my life, whether the pups were my own, my roommate’s, or my friends’. Currently, I don't have any fur babies of my own and this is the longest I've lived without one in my life, so I’m hoping that caring for your fur babies will help tide me over until I'm able to get one of my own! I have a lot of love and attention I’d love to shower your fur baby with, but I also have a lot of patience and persistence for those who need a more determined approach. I have experience working with big and small breeds and younger and senior mutts, as well as Boxers, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, Labradors, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers. For the past year I’ve been volunteering with the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA for the past year, working specifically with reactive and fearful dogs. Prior to that I’ve volunteered at shelters all over the world.

Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.
Yiheng took great care of my cat while I was away. She was very punctual and always stayed for the full visit, making sure everything was well taken care of. She also sent lots of photos each time, which I really appreciated. My cat really liked her and looked comfortable and happy around her. I’d be happy to book with her again!
Yuemin was very prompt at responding and it was very easy to set up a pre-visit so she could meet our cats and learn where everything is located. She sent daily updates and pictures and even helped to clean up a few accidents that one of our kitties had throughout our home. Thank you Yuemin!
We’re a returning customer, and Xilin and Xiang did another great job taking care of Bobo! We really appreciated the detailed notes and photos after every visit. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bobo was well cared for. We’ll definitely book with them again!
Patrycja is Chicken Nuggets favorite sitter. She takes amazing care of him when I am out of town, and secretively I think Chicken Nugget wishes she was around more often. Her love of animals is reciprocated by animals love of her! She is very communicative and keeps us updated with amazing photos and videos. We are so lucky to have her!
I had a great experience with Bergen. She genuinely cared for my cat and was incredibly attentive to her. She also went above and beyond to help with things outside of her duties, which I really appreciated. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. I'll definitely be booking her again and would highly 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.

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.
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.
