“Took care of my cat while on vacation giving her attention and love. Even offered to drop in if I couldn't make it home due to weather. Would recommend and will schedule with her again.”
“Mariah’s experience and personality makes her a great pet sitter. Our German Shepherd was a rescue that had been abused and she is generally wary of people, but took to Mariah instantly. If we should need a pet sitter in the future, we would hire Mariah without hesitation.”
“Hayley did awesome with our girls (outdoor dog and indoor cat)! It unexpectedly turned cold while we were gone and Hayley made sure our outdoor dog was warm. Our cat stayed happy too. We will definitely book with Hayley next trip!”
“Austin kept in contact with me im every visit with Coco. And took great pictures of her and of our birds. He swept the dog hair from the floor. He does a great job. We will definitely use his services again for Coco.”

“Ashlynn did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were gone. I was so nervous about leaving them and having someone stop by because we have never done it this way before, but she showed up on time for every drop in and she made our animals feel loved while we were gone. She communicated with us very effectively as well. We left for 4 days and when we returned there were no messes to clean up and our pets were so happy to see us, but acted like they were shown plenty of love while we were gone. She made sure to show each of them affection and attention on every visit. And, that says a lot considering we have 3 cats and a dog she was tending to. We will definitely rebook with her in the future and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to make sure their fur babies have the best care!”
“Kennedi is so kind and took great care of our cat, Sushi! She helped us tremendously while we were away! We will definitely be using her services again and 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. 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.

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.
