“Robin is absolutely wonderful. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how genuinely passionate she is about animals. Communication was excellent throughout, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos that put my mind completely at ease while I was away. My pet was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Robin doesn’t just treat this as a job, they truly love what she does and it shows. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14, I have watched all sorts of pets with different needs and personalities. I actually helped deliver my dog bear. I have taken care of birds, cats, dogs, fish, plants, children, and always received positive feedback. I have taken care of reactive animals, animals with anxiety, medication needs, I’ve taken care of older animals and young animals. I am planning on going to college in the fall for marine biology, I have a car and am willing to drive. I am currently unemployed and am looking to find some solid ways to make money for college by doing something I love. I will cater to your pets needs and do whatever needs to be done to give you and your pets a stress free environment. I can take them to appointments, I know how to crate, give injections, I will follow how YOU want the animal to be cared for, whether that’s by giving them space or attention.
“Jordan was fantastic! All of our fur babies adored her! We have a shy juvenile cat that rarely takes to anyone and was very comfortable with Jordan! Jordan made sure each out our three girls were well taken care of and given individual playtime and snuggles. Jordan kept us updated and was easy to communicate with prior to and during our trip. We will definitely rebook Jordan for future travel plans!”

“I cannot even begin to explain how much of a lifesaver Rebecca was while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in everything she did. I didn't worry about my kitty at all while I was gone because I knew she was in such good hands. She was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures of my girl so I didn't miss her quite so much. We will definitely be using Rebecca for our next vacation if she is available!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,771 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Index. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
