“Stephanie was great with our two cats! She cleaned the litter and refilled their water bowls everyday and also gave one of our cats his daily medication. He’s a shy cat but she made sure he had all his medication and gave him extra treats! She also played with both cats and sent lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely book Stephanie to look after our cats again!!”
“Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️”
“Andrea did an amazing job caring for our kitties, Leya and Simon! We really appreciated how thorough she was and how carefully she followed all of our instructions. She spent lots of quality playtime with Simon, which he absolutely loved, and gave both cats wonderful care and attention while we were away. Andrea was also very respectful of our home, which gave us extra peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“Blessy is a dedicated cat sitter which was clear from our first interaction since she immediately asked to meet upfront and talk things through. She provided updates and sent us pictures after every visit. Would definitely recommend Blessy as a cat sitter”
About: I grew up on a farm in Colombia, where I was surrounded by animals from a very young age. Caring for dogs, cats, and other animals has always been a natural part of my life. I am attentive, patient, responsible, and affectionate with pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, and basic care according to each pet’s needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am available to care for pets in the mornings from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the owner’s home. I can also take dogs for walks, provide companionship, feed them, and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for during my visit. I am reliable, responsible, and enjoy spending time with animals. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure pets have fresh water, food, and exercise, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, I use secure leashes and pay close attention to their needs and behavior.
“Maria is a wonderful sitter. She took lots of photos and it was showed how much my cat liked her. It is evident that she took good care of her. I will definitely have her as a sitter from here on out.”
“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”
“It was our first time working with Sandra, but not the last! She was a pleasure to work with, and our cats loved her (especially our girl cat, she kept climbing on her shoulder!). Very irresponsible, plenty of pictures, and great communications. Thank you, Sandra!”
“Katrina is amazing! She dropped in on my cat this week, and I really appreciate how she is a great commincator and is very knowledgeable about pet care. She always goes above and beyond and it gives me a lot of peace of mind to know my cat is well cared for.”
“Katie is so responsive and caring — she’s watched our kitties several times and I know they’re in good hands. She’s extremely responsive to email and text — very reliable and trustworthy!”
“Stephanie was great and I felt very comfortable having her come over to check on my two cats. She made sure to do a meet and greet to get all care instructions sent tons of great photos to let me know how they were doing. I would definitely work with Stephanie again!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a recent trip. She was super communicative with thoughtful updates every day and lots of photos. It was reassuring while we were away. Our cat absolutely adores her. Highly recommended sitter! We will definitely book again soon.”
“Heng is always great with our kitty. We appreciate the detailed updates while we are away. Heng is very responsive and follows our care instructions. She is one of our go-to cat sitters currently. Thank you for always taking such good care of our cat!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Natalie. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, followed all instructions carefully, and made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat is doing well, vacuumed his litter, and made him entertained. She also left us a homemade treat for him.”
“Vicki was amazing with Koda and made the process really easy for us! She’s very experienced with handling multiple cats and it shows. He came back very happy, would definitely trust her again! Thank you :)”

About: I have volunteered and helped cats at the Peninsula Humane Society since 2016. I have experience with socializing shy cats and kittens. I have also been a cat mom for the past two years and neighbors have asked me to watch their cats as well. I have experience with administering medication orally and through injections. I also have experience socializing, playing, and walking small to medium sized dogs! I currently live in San Bruno and work full-time in San Mateo so I will always be nearby for a visit to your pet.

I understand that every household is different, so I do my very best to learn and adapt to any changes as needed.

Rachel took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a recent trip. She was super communicative with thoughtful updates every day and lots of photos. It was reassuring while we were away. Our cat absolutely adores her. Highly recommended sitter! We will definitely book again soon.
Andrea was wonderful with my cat and was very responsive and communicative throughout the whole process. She is gentle at the meet & greet and my cat likes her right away. I really appreciated the thoughtful and adorable notes she left after the visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing how my cat was doing while I was away. I’d definitely book with Andrea again!
Jasmeen was fantastic watching our cats during our extended trip. Since we’ve used her before, we already knew they’d be in great hands, and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. She is truly one of the best sitters on Rover, we couldn’t recommend her more!
Outstanding! I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. She looked after our cats for three weeks and each day gave them excellent care with detailed reports and photos. She outfoxed an invading ant colony, offered to do laundry where cats had sickup-ed, cleaned floors of accidents, brought extra treats, supplies and litter from home.
Aik went above and beyond when I had a time sensitive package unexpectedly delivered while I was out of town. Aik went back to the house 2 extra times to be sure it was put inside without me even asking... I was SO appreciative as it allowed us to enjoy our time away without stressing or having to track down someone else to put it in!
She was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my cats, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s such a sweet and kind person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I ever need a cat sitter in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!
Yujie watched my two cats while I was away for almost 10 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos regularly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling. I would absolutely book with Yujie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy

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.
