“Amanda’s great! She is so personable, kind and caring of our pets! Our dogs loved her! We loved seeing our pup’s photos every day while on our trip and we were always kept informed of any changes!”
“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
“Julia was fantastic with our 2 dogs (one being a 6 month old puppy) and 2 cats. She was very responsive and provided thorough updates. We will definitely be using her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Horace
Amanda was an amazing caregiver for my four cats while I was on vacation for a week. She visited twice a day at our agreed‑upon times and always followed up with photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Two of my cats are typically very fearful of new people, but after just a few days they were completely at ease around her. Animals truly recognize kind, caring humans, and Amanda is absolutely one of them. We met before my trip so she could get to know the cats, and I felt comfortable with her right away. She has a kind, easygoing personality, and it was lovely chatting about her own pets too. She also needed to give one cat a transdermal med on her ear for hypothyroidism twice a day and she was very comfortable with providing that for my kitty! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet carer, Amanda is the one to choose. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Amanda was great!! We were gone for 10 days and I had complete confidence that my girls were taken care of. She spent over a half hour with them and took pictures for me. I came home to a house that looked just as I left it with 2 happy kitties! She was great, definitely recommend her and will have her again!!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
