“Grace was amazing! She took such wonderful care of our two cats and sent us multiple updates per day which truly eased my anxiety! She took the time to play with them and made them feel comfortable while we were away. I would absolutely book her again! Thank you so much Grace!!!”
“Britiany took GREAT care of our sweet kitty boys while we were gone for the weekend. She was very detail oriented and left report cards of each of her visits and sent us pictures of our fluffy boys. She took extra time to play with them and try to wear them out before the 4th of July fireworks got started, so hopefully our kitty who’s afraid of storms would be too tied to care! So very kind and thoughtful! We will definitely book Britiany again in the future!”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and entertain their pets for several years. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’m a graduate student at UAB and my schedule has the opportunity to be flexible, so I am available for early mornings, late afternoon, and evening walks and check-ins during the week. On the weekends, I have full availability for whatever you and your pet need! I treat every pet like it’s my own- I shower them with love and affection, give lots of treats, and can play all day, regardless of your pet’s age, personality, or activity level.
“Amy was so wonderful looking after our two cats during Christmas ❤️🎄 she was very attentive to them, arrived on time every day, and would stay the full duration of the drop-in playing and giving love 🥰 Will definitely be reaching out again next time!!”
“Devin is a life saver. I’ve had the pleasure of having her multiple times now to look after my 2 cats and they love her to death! She’s such a huge help. Always gives me so many pictures and updates!!”
“The cats were well cared for (even if they didn't think so) and Jamie sent daily photos and updates. As people who travel frequently it's good to know we have a way to book someone quickly!”
About: I walk my dog twice a day, take him to socialize with other dogs, and give plenty of open window car rides. I’ve trained him when he was young and I have also taken care of a wide range of animals of other ages from the animal clinic that I shadow at. I’m aware of animal social cues and am plentiful in patience with all furry friends! I am a full time student, so my schedules do vary from each semester. As of right now, Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free after 3 pm. On Fridays, I am free after 12 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free after 5 pm. These two specific days would be better for home drop-ins and late afternoon dog walks! With my dog at home, I always keep him in my sight not only for his sake but for my own comfort. I just love being around animals all the time. Whether I am doing school work or chores, I always keep them included.
“Cameron was absolutely outstanding. We were away at the beach for a full week, and he took incredible care of our dogs the entire time. He went above and beyond, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from every picture and message that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and affection. Cameron treated them like they were his own. He was reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely cared about our pets. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. If you are looking for someone who will take exceptional care of your dogs and keep you informed every step of the way, Cameron is your guy. We will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Hannah was amazing with my cat Coco! Sent me detailed updates about her behavior and ensured me that she was well while I was away for two weeks. She sent daily photos and described all the tasks she’d done for the day. Couldn’t even tell she’d been in my house when I came back! I highly recommend.”
“Sarah was great. It was somewhat last minute and I needed someone to take care of my cat for four days. She was very responsive and seemed to take really good care of Mojo.”
“Bri has a joyful aura and is so fun to have around, we booked some hour visits so my scaredy cat Scout can be introduced before i leave on my trip. Bri immediately got on his level near his hiding spot and gave him some treats, which he actually ate🥹🤓🤘🏼 i’m confident my boy will be loved and nurtured while i’m gone and i recommend Bri for your baby’s needs”
“Morgan was great and I will most definitely be booking her again the next time I am in need! She sent detailed updates and lots of photos showing my dog always looking so happy and cared for.”

We are so excited to have Kyle as one of our sitters. He has a magic touch with the cats, particularly our baby girl who can be fearful of strangers. The fact that she ate a Churu from him is evidence! Kyle is trustworthy, consistent, communicative and conscientious. Truly a five star sitter!
Samantha was so great and really went above and beyond! She sent me lots of pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. My cat is sooo shy with new people, and Samantha was really patient with her, so I was honestly surprised she was able to get her to come out and warm up to her. It made me feel so much better knowing she was comfortable and being so well taken care of. I’d 100% book with Samantha again!

Britiany did such a great job taking care of my 3 cats! She sent detailed updates and pictures of all of them each visit. When we got home, we got the sweetest Polaroid keepsakes of our babies. I have already booked her for the next time I am going out of town ❤️

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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
