“We were surprised to see Laura was able to pet two of our cats. Usually, our cats don't come near people they don't know. She sent us great pictures of them and kept us posted on how they were doing while we were gone. She expressed concern about our one cat she hadn't seen. I told her not to worry because my sister was coming over everyday and had seen that cat. She was a feral cat at one time so I knew Laura wouldn't see her. We would highly recommend Laura to watch your fur babies.”
“Xiaotong is very nice and professional. She will always make sure my cat is doing great when she comes, and can always finish the routine work very fast and accurately. She is also super patient. Though my cat is very shy and little timid with strangers, Xiaotong is very careful and would take some time to give treat to my cat and play with him. My cat and I both like her a lot. Definitely recommend a lot, and I personally would contact her first if I need future help for my cat!”
“Maryna was great. She provided updates, took care of our cats very well, and resolved all the problems we've faced with cats while we were traveling: Food/water, litter, any unexpected issues. Looking forward to working together again.”
“Amy watched our two cats for eight days, and we were very satisfied with her care. She is very kind and gentle, and both cats warmed up to her quickly—even our shy one, who usually hides from strangers. We especially appreciated that Amy came by before we left to spend time playing with them and help them feel comfortable. During our trip, she kept us updated with messages, photos, and notes about their eating and behavior. Thank you, Amy—we would definitely love to have you back again.”
“Would definitely use Glen again! He was kind, consistent and trustworthy. Took care of our 2 seniors dogs while we were out of town. He was always on time and patient with them. Kept in touch and sent pictures daily, made us feel very comfortable while away.”
“We had an excellent experience with Gabi. She always showed up on time, followed all instructions/requests with perfection, kept the house clean and showered lots of love on our precious kitty Monroe. Because of her, we were able to actually enjoy our vacation. Thank you Gabi.”
“We went away for the weekend. Bonnie stopped by everyday to check on our kitties. Also very helpful with checking the mail and putting out the trash. We were put at ease every day with lots of pictures. Thanks Bonnie!! PS-Doc says hi!”
“Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.”
“Heather is fantastic! She is lovely with our pup and dedicated to utilizing her time with him each day to the fullest! We love reading her reports after each visit and she takes the best photos of our handsome boy!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my family. I have experience with both small and large dogs and have always loved caring for and spending time with them. I especially enjoy being active and going on walks with dogs. I also have seven years of experience training dogs through my local 4-H program, where I developed hands-on experience with training, handling, and building a strong bond with dogs. My lifelong experience with animals and my love for being active make spending time with dogs something I truly enjoy! I’m currently working as a part-time employee for Rover. My available hours are M - F between 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm, and weekends may vary but typically Saturday - Sunday from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm I can be available. I am comfortable with most pet needs such as feeding, checking for fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, and crating (if your pet is kenneled). I also make sure your pet has some quality play time during my visits!
About: I have owned 3 cats and have taken care of them since i was 10. I have given Medical attention such as giving them medication and fluids for older cats. I have also been around dogs especially young dogs and know how energetic and playful they can be. I have open availability and am willing to work with your schedule with some previous notice whether that be starting early or starting late for house vitsits or house sitting. I have owned and taken care of 3 cats in my life. I have also been around dogs and know how energetic and attention seeking they can be.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them is more than a job—it's my calling. At the age of 15, I began rescuing stray animals in my hometown of Medellín, rehabilitating them, and finding them loving homes. This hands-on experience taught me patience, empathy, and deep understanding of animal behavior. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with pets and my ability to adapt to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs. As a professional pet photographer, I also have a keen eye for detail and know how to make pets feel calm and comfortable around me. Whether it’s giving medication, providing enrichment, or simply offering love and companionship, I always go the extra mile to ensure every pet in my care feels safe and happy. I'm from Colombia and I’m currently studying English to improve my language skills. I’m available Tuesday, Thursday and Friday all day and I’m available some shifts on Saturdays and Sundays. I’d be happy to take care of your pet! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals feel safe and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and medication if needed. I always take time to build trust through gentle interactions, patience, and positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your pet as if they were my own—with love, respect, and constant attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Valley
Laura did awesome with our cats. They are not use to being left so I was a little apprehensive but Laura got them all out and playing and by the end of the visits they were looking forward to her coming to see them. She kept us super informed and took some great photos. I would definitely book Laura again .
We have been very happy with Nina’s service. She is great with our older cats, and they with her! She also feeds my fish and monitors the high tech fish tank. She is very conscientious and we have been very comfortable going away with her looking after them all.
Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!

Sarah is absolutely the best pet sitter there is. She is reliable, very caring and extremely responsible in taking care of my cat. She goes out of her way to spend extra time with your pet, as well as taking care of the normal tasks of checking their food, water, etc. Once you have her as your pet sitter, you won't want anyone else, trust me!

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
