“Gigi took great care of our cat while we were out of town! We even had a last minute schedule change and she was great about accommodating those changes. I hope to use her services again in the future!”
“She did an amazing job with my two cats. Made sure all of their stuff was clean and even vacuumed, and swept the floor as well as took out the trash. None of those things I asked for. By far the best pet sitter I’ve hired.”
“Ellen did a great job taking care of my chickens and cats. She is observant and pays attention to detail. She is very caring with the animals. I will definitely use her again. Thanks!”
“Lindi was great navigating two cats of different ages with needs. We got daily updates of play time, she was able to manage our older cat’s mediations and was fast and responsive and easy to plan with. Thank you Lindi for taking such great care of our pets!”
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”
“10/10 would recommend for all pet needs, we had no worries during our vacation because of Christy's updates with photos and great communication! She went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and will definitely use Christy again”
“Cozette is amazing and took such great care of my fur baby! All the pictures she sent on her visits every day were great and I could tell how comfortable he was with her (and he tends to be pretty skittish with new people!) I’ll definitely book Cozette again in the future!”
“She was great! Very thorough with her descriptions of the check in, and provided lots of pictures! She even took the time to meet the cats (and us) before the scheduled time frame.”
“Florencia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about animals. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Doug was happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Florencia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ❤️🐾”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated all the beautiful photos she sent—they made me feel so much better while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my kitty and spent quality time with him. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Could not reccomend Patrick more highly!! He watched our kitties for a 5 day period and went above and beyond. Sent us pictures, gave them pets and treats, and even watered our plants and flowers. He was very communicative and our cats seemed very happy and relaxed when we got home. I will be booking Patrick for all of our pet sitting needs moving forward : ).”
“Lydia did a great job with our cat while we were gone for the holidays! She spent time with her and made sure to play with her, which was much appreciated. We will definitely look to rebook in the future!”
“Maya was wonderful with my high maintenance cat! She sent me lots of pictures and updates, so I could tell how happy Pippin was with her. She was super responsive and detail-oriented. I highly recommend Maya for pet sitting!”
About: I have always had the privilege of having dogs around. I have cared for my own as well as my family, friends, and neighbors for over a decade. I recently moved from California and thus am far away from all my fur friends. I’m just a girl who loves to spend time with animals. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. This includes young puppies and kittens and other animals with medical needs like amputees, or animals requiring medications such as insulin, nebulizers, antibiotics, etc. I am a nurse that works a varying schedule three days a week. My days off I like to stay active by walking and would love furry buddies to do that with! I have cared for dogs and cats of all temperaments. Whether shy, aloof, reactive, hyper, or anything else, I work on building trust and connection at the animals pace. I follow you, the owners, requests and requirements to make sure both you and your pet are as comfortable as possible.
“Timothy went above and beyond for us and our cats! We hired Timothy because we had a trip planned, but one of our cats got sick and needed someone to give him meds while we were gone. Timothy did a great job with giving our cat multiple medications in both pill and liquid form. Our cats really liked Timothy too and would beg him for pets. We also loved that Timothy sent thorough updates with pictures after every visit. Aside from doing the job description excellently, he was very flexible and helpful when our plans changed. We had to adjust the dates and almost had to cancel, but Timothy was very kind and understanding about it all. We also had a small emergency while we were gone - our apartment building’s fire alarm was triggered, and we had no idea if it was a real fire or false alarm. Timothy didn’t hesitate to head right over to check out the situation and help our cats calm down. We would not have felt comfortable going on our trip if it hadn’t been for Timothy; we knew our cats would be in good hands. Timothy understands how important pets are to their owners and genuinely wants to help. We will absolutely hire him again and encourage others to do the same!”

Maja took such great care of Weezer! She knows how to interact with cats and always remembers his little preferences. I loved getting regular photo updates, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. This was my second time having Maja watch Weezer, and I’ll definitely book her again!
I would highly recommend hiring Jason to check in on your pets while you’re away. Jason is communicative, dilligent, helpful, and kind. I made a mistake and left too little food for my cats. Jason made sure to let me know so we could work out a plan to have some cat food delivered. However, Jason was willing to go above and beyond to even pick up some food from my cats from the store!! He didn’t end up needing to do so, but the fact that he had offered it speaks volumes about his dedication to the pets he watches. A fantastic pet-sitter and a wonderful human!
Nouha was wonderful with our kitties! She was communicative, professional, and reliable throughout her visits. We especially appreciated the extra photos and updates, and it was clear that she took the time not just to take care of the cats’ basic needs, but to give them some attention and affection while we were away. The house was clean and everything was in order when we returned, which was an added bonus. It gave us great peace of mind knowing the kitties were in such good hands. We’d definitely be happy to have Nouha care for them again!
Raven really liked Jamie! She’s usually very shy and tends to run and hide whenever we have guests, so it meant a lot to see her feel so comfortable with Jamie. Jamie is wonderful with cats, and she sent the sweetest photos and videos while I was away. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with 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.

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.
