“Madison took great care of my cats while I was away! One of my cats is very shy and doesn’t usually come out for people but she came out for Madison and even let Madison feed her treats out of her hand. Madison updated us with pictures daily and was very communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Yeji took great take of Bankrupt in past two weeks. My daughter and I are highly appreciated for that! In the last day, she was very considerate and promised to back up to provide extra care if our flight back was delayed. She also helped bring a strayed cat in our community to a shelter. That is a great deed.”
“Amanda was an amazing cat sitter and so attention! She went above and beyond to make sure our two cats got pets, treats, and playtime. We will be booking her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.”
“This is the third time we’ve booked with Keira and she’s taken wonderful care of our cats every time! This visit one of our cats got sick right before we left and required medication, which Keira took on without a problem! The other one already requires multiple meds due to a genetic condition so taking on this additional challenge was greatly appreciated. She always goes above and beyond and we will definitely continue asking her to watch our kitties in the future.”
“Jessica did an amazing job watching my 2 cats. I could enjoy my time away knowing that my kitties were well cared for. I got multiple photos each day, as well as details. When I got home, I could tell my cats were happy. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Emma was fantastic! She was very responsive, patient, and attentive throughout a weeklong trip, and went above and beyond with my shy cat. I really appreciated her communication and the care she provided.”
“This is not the first time Priscilla helps us. We are super satisfied with her work and we will always call her every time possible. Can't thank her enough for such a wonderful job she does!”
“Victoria is amazing!! She is always on time and gives detailed feedback of the visit along with great pictures of our cats. One of our cats is very shy (will not come out for almost any visitor) and she comes out for Victoria every time. This is a huge indicator that Victoria is amazing with animals and that animals love her!”
“went on vacation and she saved the day last minute when our cat sitters went out of town! very kind and responds very quickly! took lovely care of our sweet boys.”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Gabriella was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We received photos of Penny—which made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. 😻🐾”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have a 3 year old cat of my own. I also volunteer with BARCS for their dogs day out program, so I have a lot of experience with big dogs. I currently work full time in logistics, and I work from home 3 days a week. I have free time throughout the day on my remote days and on the weekends as well. I always like to take care of animals as if they are my own. Your animals will always be safe and secure and I always go the extra mile to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.
“Samantha was very communicative throughout the whole experience. She was on time and took care of my companions needs exactly as requested. Would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!”
“Truly outstanding experience. The level of care Annali provided our pets and detail they provided us was exquisite. We will definitely be requesting their services in the future. Huge thank you!!”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

We have 3 cats, one of them who requires eye eyedrops every day for medical reasons, and she was amazing! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to take care of them, get to know them, and kept in contact with us the whole time we were away! Super easy to work with and if we need a pet sitter again, she'll be the first one we contact. <3 Thank you again!
Lorraine took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She shared really helpful updates throughout the trip and was especially attentive when she noticed a concern with one of my cats. I really appreciated how communicative, thoughtful, and reliable she was, and I felt much better knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit hesitant but Carolyn B. made me feel secure with my animals under her care. She was prompt, thorough and conscientious for all of the visits while I was away. She stayed in communication with me and responded promptly to any of my questions. I recommend Carolyn and would use her again!
Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!

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 .

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.
