“Tina is a wonderful pet sitter and an amazing human being. She takes such wonderful care of our cat while we are away in business, which has become a regular occurrence. I think he has come to think of Tina as a member of the family. Our cat has some medical issues which Tina was always able to handle with love and grace. And she takes great care of our house and plants while we are away. She’s the best!”
“We’ve booked with Sadie several times and she is consistently on time, thorough and has great communication. She’s taken care of both of our reptiles and our cat-cannot recommend her enough!”
“We have booked with Sally multiple times for our cat Sophia. Sally is always reliable, communicative, attentive and goes above any beyond when needed. Our little fuzzball can be a bit of a drama queen but we are relieved knowing that Sally is dropping in the check in on her. Thanks again Sally!!!”
“Shelby usually walks our dog, but we needed her for our cat this time. We went on vacation and Shelby came and fed our kitty, Ginger, and gave her her thyroid medication. She was wonderful with her and would definitely recommend!!”
“Hanna was so kind and understanding with my girl Sadie! Sadie can be very shy and reluctant with new people and Hanna made sure to respect that and give her the space she needed, while still taking care of her other needs! She also graciously accommodated a last minute change I had to make to my booking. Hanna is great and I’ll def book with her again in the future!”
“Becky did a great job taking care of Ivy! She was super communicative, was on time every day and sent lots of pictures, and was very easy to reach regarding anything about the booking. Thanks Becky!”
“Heather is wonderful! She dropped in to take care of my two cats last weekend. She is caring, loving, attentive, and respectful with my cats and home. She ensured my cats had everything they needed. Heather communicated well with me with fun pics, videos and notes. I look forward to having Heather pet sit again soon!”
“Sadie was an amazing sitter! I felt so confident and at ease leaving my senior cat with her when I had to leave on an extended ten day trip. Her communication with me was excellent during that time and she sent so many pictures and videos of my boy. My cat thrives on affection and it was such a great peace of mind to see him cuddling and bonding with her during that time. She did a wonderful job keeping his routine and little likes steady for him while I was gone so that I didn’t have a single worry. A bonus was that she kept me up to date on everything that was happening with my home as well. I am looking forward to booking with Sadie again for my next trip and I know my fur baby will have a great time with her while I’m away! Thank you so much Sadie! :) -Walter, Elle, and Chester”
“Barbara was wonderful! I've never left my cats before but we had to put my uncle to rest in another State. Barbara is the car whisperer, my cats especially Bob took an instant liking to her. She has experience with both dogs and cats. I won't hesitate again to go out of town, I feel completely comfortable with Barbara caring for my 2 cats. Denise Flathers”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious they were in caring, capable hands. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything just as I left it. I truly appreciate the attention and love she gave them. I would recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Sydney did a wonderful job—it was quite the tall order for her first time taking care of my three cats, one of which requires meds twice daily, for ten days! She was very communicative during my trip, sending updates and photos twice a day. It gave me a great piece of mind knowing they were in such patient and caring hands. Definitely recommend Sydney to others for cat care. I’m so happy to have found her 🙂”
“This was the first time I’d left my cat for this long. I’m glad Ella was his sitter to take care of and spend time with him. She was consistent and took the extra time and effort to pay attention to him and watch the house. Ella is very reliable and I definitely feel comfortable having her watch Gordon again if I go on another longer trip.”
“Olivia was a great sitter for Gordon. She was willing to meet beforehand to go over things. And asked questions as needed. Going by the pictures and updates she provided, Gordon took to her and he was content while she was here. I will definitely use her pet/house sitting services again.”
“Zandra did an amazing job- our three cats were so well taken care of, we got lots of great updates and our house was spotless on return. We couldn’t ask for more- 10 stars! Thank you Zandra!!!!”
“I am so grateful and appreciative to Kellen for taking care of my cat Cedar over the winter holidays. He instantly bonded with Cedar and helped put my mind at ease while I was gone. He was always thoroughly communicating with me throughout the visits and updating/adapting along the way like when she had tummy problems and we had to adjust her diet. He was accommodating and understanding to her needs as a deaf cat and really made sure she was well-taken care of.”
“Tracy was great with our pets, even the persnickety one who might have tried to eat her, haha. And she kept in touch with us well too. Always nice when we're away to see our pets, who are an important part of our family, are happy. Thank you Tracy! We will surely call on you again.”

Tina is wonderful! She took the time to try to engage with my shy, skittish girl. Tina also fit me in last minute so I could travel for s family situation. You could tell she truly loves animals! I hate leaving Bella alone for too long but feel so much more at ease knowing that Tina was there for my baby. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitter.
Sydney was helpful and a very communicative caregiver for our kitty! It was our first time using a catsitter, and Sydney was such a great guide, and immediately bonded with our kitty. She was great with communication. And, she always sent us timely pics and videos. Thank you, Sydney!
Lily played with my cat a while I was away and made sure she was fed and safe. It means a lot to me when a pet sitter gives my cat some play time because she is a very high energy cat who hates being alone. She can sometimes be aggressive towards strangers, so that fact that everything went smoothly tells me Lily is very skilled with cats.
Hanna took wonderful care of our cats for over a month, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She was incredibly helpful, flexible, and reliable throughout the entire time. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we truly appreciate everything Hanna did for us. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter!

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 .

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.
