“Anke was amazing! 😻 She took very good care of our kitties and was always checking in with us and sending awesome picture of our boys. She went above and beyond for them and they were very happy when we got home. Will definitely book her again! Thank you Anke!!”
“Ashley was great! She won over the cats and gelave them all the live and pets they wanted. She sent photos of them and made sure their liter boxes were regularly cleaned. Would recommend and would rebook”
“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!”
“We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my fur baby. Muffin was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciate her kindness and attention to detail, and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Katerinne was great! We came home to happy cats and no messes. She sent daily pictures and the cats seemed to really like her and played with her. Would hire her again in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing! Completely understood the needs of each furry member of the family. Gave attention to those who needed it and checked in on but gave space to those that are more wary. Definitely would hire again.”
“Highly recommend! Chris has watched my cat several times and has been wonderful every time. Chris is very responsive and sends lots of photos during each visit, which I really appreciate.”
“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!”
“Love to have Kate come to take care of Freddie. She takes time to pet and brush him, which he loves and makes him happy to have her here. I always trust that things will go well with Kate.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”
“Really great experience with Yingjie. She watched our cat for 18 days and kept us updated by sending daily photos and videos. Anytime we had a question she was very easy to get a hold of. She was also was very proactive about communication. Highly recommended and we will definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our cat Mel! 🐾 Larissa was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She took Mel into her home while we were away for several days, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Larissa sent us frequent updates with photos and videos, so we could see how comfortable and happy Mel was during her stay. What impressed us the most was Larissa’s genuine care and attention to detail. She carefully followed Mel’s medication schedule, feeding routine, and even made sure she had playtime and affection every day. Mel is on the older side and has special needs, but Larissa handled everything with such patience and love. We came back to a calm, well-cared-for cat — and that says a lot, because Mel can sometimes be anxious with new environments. Clearly, she felt safe and loved at Larissa’s home. I highly recommend Larissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again in the future!”

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. 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 .

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.
