“This was my first time leaving my cats Butter and Boba for a few days, and Sophie was amazing from start to finish! During the meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions and made sure she understood their routines and quirks, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire stay she was extremely communicative. I loved getting pictures and a summary after each visit. My cats are very very shy, and she was so patient and gentle with them. She earned their trust quickly, especially with Boba, which says a lot! I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thanks Sophie!”
“Alison did a great job taking care of my cat for the week. She is punctual, reliable, and great at sending updates throughout the day. I really appreciated that she took care of my cat’s basic needs but also took time to give him love and attention.”
“Amanda did an amazing job, always keeping me in the loop of how they were doing and making sure they were well taken care of!! Incredibly flexible and reliable. I’ve used her for the past 2 months and will continue to do so!”
“Chloe was fantastic! I was traveling with Winnie, a Boykin Spaniel puppy, and I had to stop for a few days of Work in the DC Metro. Chloe came over to the hotel and made sure that Winnie was fed, watered, walked and entertained while I worked all day. I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”

“Finlay was absolutely wonderful with our girls, Lilo and Hope! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was clear they were in great hands. She kept us updated throughout our time away with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it much easier to relax knowing they were doing well. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely book with Finlay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“I can't recommend Zosha highly enough. I scheduled daily visits while we were on vacation for our cat Chloe to be given her medication and some love - and Zosha did such a great job at both! He went out of his way to give her plenty of affection and even treats on her puzzle toy. Everything was clean and left in great shape, Zosha was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures! Chloe is definitely a fan, and so are we. Thanks again, Zosha!”
“Pamela is the best!! She took such good care of our cats, and I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. :) She sent detailed updates and pictures, and took extra time to play with our cats and wash our their bowls every day. She even watered our flowers outside and sent pictures of those too! We will definitely use her again and give her our highest recommendation. Thanks!!”

Abigail was absolutely amazing with Simba! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease. She followed Simba’s schedule exactly as instructed, kept me updated, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. When my plans changed unexpectedly, she was incredibly accommodating and even added extra days at the last minute without hesitation. That flexibility meant so much to me and took a huge weight off my shoulders. I highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. Simba was in great hands, and I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Abigail, for taking such wonderful care of my baby!
Our experience was wonderful. Tricia was incredibly caring, attentive, and proactive. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat’s routine and preferences before I even had to mention them, which gave me a lot of confidence that she genuinely cared about providing the best care. She was also very communicative throughout the stay, keeping me updated and asking questions whenever she needed clarification instead of making assumptions. I really appreciated her attention to detail and how seriously she took my cat’s care. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter.
Phoebe has been taking care of our cat, Smokey, for quite some time now, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s reliable, communicative, and always makes sure Smokey is well cared for while we’re away. We really appreciate the thoughtful updates and photos, which give us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and Smokey is always happy and relaxed when we get home. We trust Phoebe completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Joaquin went above and beyond in every sense. In addition to this already being a last minute request, he provided detailed daily updates on my Aeris, spent time with him, and even cleaned up Aeris’ food area and took out the trash. I’m so glad to have found him and would gladly rebook.
Reona was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She was thorough, always on time, extremely easy to work with, and very loving with our cats. She provided wonderful and detailed updates on how the cats were doing, including great photos of them playing at every visit. I was very impressed and highly recommend her!
Seeun and her husband provided expert care for my cats while I was away 10 days! That first day is always the hardest until I get the first picture but once I saw how happy my cats were I knew they were in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I highly recommend you book their services.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Idylwood. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
