“I strongly recommend Kati to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their fur babies. Appreciated the daily photos and notes she communicated for my review. I returned home to two happy fur babies. A BIG THANK YOU !!”
“We are new pet owners and hesitant to leave our 9mo old kitten for a week, but we are so glad we had Amanda! She came to meet our cat before we left, took great notes and put me at ease. Every day we were gone, Amanda dropped in 2x per day and left us wonderful, detailed notes and pictures that showed she took care to know Salem, what he liked, needed and enjoyed. I enjoyed reading her notes to our kids and sharing the pictures she would send. It made us feel like we could enjoy our vacation knowing Salem was in amazing hands. No hesitations in 100% recommending Amanda. She was the best and would rebook in an instant. Thank you!!!”
“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
“Ashley took great care of my cats, followed instructions, and sent pictures each day of their play time. One of my shy cats came out to play with her each day. Would book again!”
“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Katerina did a wonderful job with our cat. She showed up when expected, managed his medications, food water and litter pan. She also kept in touch and posted pics/videos. The house was locked up and the alarm was set when she left. I will be scheduling her again.”
“Christina was a huge help in watching our cat. The cat is not used to being alone and we were gone for over 2 weeks. He needed oral medication during that time which is very difficult to administer. Christina mastered it all. She was great at communicating status updates with pictures. He got his medicine. They also played pointer tag together. It was great to be able to relax and feel comfortable knowing our cat was in such good hands.”
“Karina is the absolute best she takes such great good care of my cat Aster. I love all the pictures and updates throughout the booking. I would highly recommend booking with Karina”
“Sara did such a great job caring for my kitty, Bear! She’s not the easiest cat to deal with but Sara was amazing. I would not hesitate to use her again. The pictures she sent while I was traveling made me know I’d found a good spot to leave Bear!”

“Mallory did a great job taking care of our kitties and turtle. They sent pictures and updates each day. The boxes and areas around them were clean when we returned. They also watered our many plants and brought in mail. Thank you!”
“Once again, Anna went above and beyond looking after our sweet pets! I love that she always sent us daily updates on the visits and so much appreciated the sweet photos she took. She turned on & off our lights, opened & closed our curtains too.”
“Jason is always reliable, caring, and quick to respond. He’s been taking care of my cat for a while now and does a great job. He’s able to capture great photos of her during his visits as well! When my husband and I are in need of a pet sitter, we know we can trust Jason to provide excellent care.”
“Aury was great with our two cats. She sent us pictures and reassured us how they were doing. She was flexible, on time, and reliable. Best of all she played with them, we highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.
“Haven is amazing! She is very conscientious, always on time, very communicative and most importantly, she cares very much about the happiness and well being of your pet. She’s the best pet sitter we’ve ever used!”

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.
