“Anke took such great care of our cat Churro over the last five days. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. She’s so caring, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust!”
“Ashley is great, and I've never regretted having her take care of my cats when im out of town. She goes above and beyond the the kitties come running when they hear her walk through the door”
“Bre’anna is super kind and attentive. She always leaves my apartment cleaner than when she found it too. My cat is shy and doesn’t always like strangers but she’s warming up to Bre’anna and seems comfortable with her when I’m gone. I feel comfortable knowing Penny is in great hands and rebook Bre’anna every time I’m gone!”
About: I work remotely from home, which means your pet gets constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and my full attention all day long. Having owned and cared for dogs my entire life—including years of pet-sitting as a teenager—I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Your pet will enjoy a clean, peaceful environment with the perfect mix of play, walks, and dedicated care. I work from home with a highly flexible routine, allowing me to focus on your pet throughout the entire day. Because I am on-site continuously, I can provide frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, play breaks, and quick neighborhood walks. I easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding and exercise schedule without leaving them unattended Safety and peace of mind are my highest priorities. I maintain a clean, organized, and dog-proofed space where pets can relax comfortably. I strictly follow your ground rules, feeding schedules, and walk routines, and I send frequent photo and video updates so you always know your pet is doing great.
“Li is the most amazing sitter I’ve ever met! Thanks to Li’s awesome care of my senior cat Whiskers, I had total peace of mind enjoying my trip. Li left very detailed Rover Cards each visit—my absolute favorite part was reading that she would gently call out, “Whiskers,” and Whiskers would come right out to greet her during every visit—it was just the cutest thing. She took such phenomenal care of Whiskers that I would happily pay double for this level of service. Li is truly a sitter you can trust, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”
“Lexi is awesome and my cat loved her. She took care of everything I asked and sent updates. Lexi is super personable, kind, and caring. It made traveling 200% less stressful because I knew kitty was being loved.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were away! She is very friendly, thorough, punctual, communicative, and our cats loved her. We will definitely reach out again next time we're away.”
“Katerinne was always prompt sending me an update every day with photos oh my cat Sophie while I was away. My cat felt comfortable with her right away and I’m so glad she had someone to care for her. Thank you Katerinne! I would highly recommend her :)”
“So glad to found Chris! Chris made me feel completely at ease while I was away, regularly sending photos and updates on how my cat was doing. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in such caring and attentive hands. I will definitely be asking Chris to cat sit again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Sejla is amazing! She took excellent care of my kitty and sent comprehensive updates each visit. My cat is a big people kitty, so I always worry about her when I leave. It was a relief to know she was in such good hands with Sejla.”
“Ashley was so great with Scout, who got sick while we were gone and kept me in constant communication while she was dealing with it. Ashley even came for extra visits to check on her and give her extra walks while Scout's tummy was upset. We will definitely use Ashley again for our pet sitting services. Thank you so much, Ashley!”
“Michelle does a great job caring for my crazy cat! I appreciate how communicative she is about each visit and I can tell even though my cat can be a pain as he is slow to trust people he doesn't know well, she is patient and genuinely tries to connect with him.”
“Olivia was wonderful! My cats liked her immediately and she was very sweet with them. I appreciated the photos and videos of playtime while I was gone and the updates that they had taken their medication with no problem. She was very prompt with every time frame she gave me. Would definitely book again!”
“Yingjie is great! She took great care of my 17 lb, 10 year old cat. My cat is typically shy but Yingjie made. Tacô-Bella feel safe and comfortable. Yingjie was very flexible and was able to extend the boarding date when I couldn't come back as scheduled. Definitely going to hope she's free next time Tacô-Bella needs boarding. Would definitely recommend. She seems update very frequently and I was reassured. Very great communication.”
“We felt at ease with Megan taking care of our pups while we were out of town. She sent frequent updates, pictures, and was quick to pivot when we changed feeding instructions between our meet and greet and the time she came to care for them. Looking forward to booking with Megan again!”
“Katie was absolutely AMAZING with Dakota! This is my first time using Rover & I didn't worry in the slightest while I was away, and it was all because of Katie! She went ABOVE & BEYOND knowing I was a bit nervous leaving him! I look forward to using Katie in the future! EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION & ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS SAFE & BEING WELL CARED FOR!”

Zola was amazing with Darcy and Ivy! She was so attentive and sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. The cats were happy, well fed, and the litter was always clean. She was also very respectful of our home. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Katryna was wonderful with our two ragdoll boys. She was very easy to communicate with, sent us thoughtful updates and photos, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in great hands. We’d absolutely love to work with her again in the future and would highly recommend her!
Lexi is super sweet and kind. She is very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to different cat needs and overall pet care. My cat has special diet needs and Lexi knows exactly what to do, she asks very important questions and communicates well! So lucky to have found her.
Marlo was so great!! She dropped in twice a day for a couple days to feed and play with our two kitties. She was punctual and followed instructions well. She also sent updates with photos each visit to reassure our kitties were in good hands which gave us extreme peace of mind 🙏🏼 thank you Marlo!! We’ll see you next time 😊
I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve booked with Carissa! She’s now my go-to person for taking care of my fur babies. She is always incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and thorough, and my babies absolutely adore her! She has also gone above and beyond to help with a few unexpected situations, which I truly appreciate. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my babies are in such good hands. I’ll definitely continue booking with her and can’t recommend her highly enough! ❤
Likang was absolutely amazing caring for my cat. I was away for 2 weeks and she came to check on her every other day. She fed Daisy, refilled and cleaned her litter, played and entertained her, and even taught her a trick! She sent lots of photos and updates to me which I super appreciate. I often go on long trips so I will 100% book her again :)

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.

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 .

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.
