“We had Kati watch our cat for a week while we went on vacation and she made us feel so comfortable doing so. She took great care of our pet and even went out of her way to clean up messes our cat made and took in our garbage cans. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!!!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Christina. This was my first time ever using a cat sitter service. I travel overseas during the holidays and have always only trusted my friends to check on my cats. I needed extra help during my last trip over Christmas last year. I did a lot of research and after much anxiety and nervousness I reached out to Christina. From the very start before I left until I returned home, Christina was amazing. She was patient with my many many questions. She put me at ease right away. She gave me great advice but made it clear that the decisions were all up to me and the cats. She was incredibly flexible and was more than willing to adjust the schedule as I needed. She always replied immediately and was reassuring, honest, kind, and trustworthy. Never for one minute did I worry about the cats or my home. One of my cats has diabetes and even though I had a cat nurse visit to administer the insulin, Christina was happy to document the feeding schedule and keep the nurse updated as necessary too. It was a lot to handle and it was all handled perfectly. She also helped me with watering my plants and checking my mail AND went out and bought extra food for one of my cats when his food ran out! The best part of course was when she met the cats. They both took to her immediately, even my younger cat who is very curious but also very nervous. When I was gone on my trip, Christina sent me daily photos and updates. All of her posts made me feel safe and secure and also entertained because she was bonding more and more with them. When I returned the cats were extremely well as was the house and she met me the next day to return my keys. I highly recommend Christina for taking care of your furry family members and home. I will definitely be booking her again whether a shorter trip during this year or Christmas 2020. Thank you so much Christina!! Marvin and Moby say hi!”
“Katerina did a great job stopping in to see our DJ every day while we were out of town and providing pictures and videos that were greatly appreciated. Her flexibility was also fantastic as we decided to extend our time away by about another week. During the whole time, Katerina took care of our cat and our house and we greatly appreciated that she could help us out. We will definitely use Katerina 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!”
“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.”
“We’ve been using Doug as a pet sitter for a while now, and we highly recommend him. Doug is not only reliable but also genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our cats. We never have to worry about anything when they’re in his care. He ensures they get plenty of attention, including playtime and cuddles, which helps keep them happy while we’re away. Our cats require daily medication, and Doug handles this with ease, showing he’s comfortable with more complex care needs. I highly recommend his services to anyone—your pets will be in excellent hands, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.”
“Mallory and her partner were very attentive and communicative! Our cat enjoyed their visit and we knew he was in safe hands, with them. We would recommend them to others, and will definitely contact them again, for future services. Five stars! 🌟”
“Brinda did a great job with my 3 cats! She came on schedule and was a great communicator. I was so worried to leave my kitten for the first time and she reassured every day she was okay. I definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Karina was incredible and great to work with! She was very communicative and took the time to play with the cats after feeding/cleaning the litter box. She took many wonderful pictures and made sure they were comfortable and happy whenever she stopped by. Provided great updates after each visit as well. Fantastic sitter, would definitely book again!”
“Sara hosted our kitty when we had to travel on short notice and we were very happy with everything 🙂 She checked in every day and sent adorable pictures, and Kimi had his own room with bird/tree views! Highly recommended!”
“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”

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.

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 .
