“Thank goodness for Jasen! Not only was Jasen able to come take care of our cat on short notice-he was great! Jasen went above and beyond to make sure our cat had water, food and a clean litter box. He kept her area clean and I appreciate that. There was a mix up on the app with days and I was impressed on how well Jasen handled it. I'd definitely recommend Jasen's services-he really cares!”
“Emily took care of our two cats with genuine love and make them feel safe and loved. She is reliable, punctual and we had a wonderful customer experience with her. We will definitely book her services again! She has a special gift with animals as my cats love her from the first day ans they were never shy with her. Thank you Emily!!!”
“Brianna is the kitty whisperer! One of my cats is super shy and doesn’t always come out when sitters come but she came out on Brianna’s first day! Brianna was super communicative, asked a lot of great questions to ensure she handled my babies needs with care and took the best pics of them both. We will definitely use Brianna for our future needs❤️❤️”
“Lanae did drop-in visits for 4 days for our 3 kitties. She did such a great job! We received photos and updates daily on how our babies were doing. She fed them, played with them and cuddled wit them, as well as changed their litter box daily. She communicated everything really well and was super nice and friendly. The cats seemed happy when I got home and I didn’t need to immediately tend to one of their chores before I was able to spend some time with them. We plan to have Lanae do drop-in visits for us again in a few weeks so we can be at ease that our kitties will be just as happy!”
“What can I say about Chelsey? I don’t think I can properly describe how phenomenal she is. This was my very first time utilizing Rover. Chelsey exceeded my expectations. It’s almost as if Charlie(my cat) and Chelsey are a match made in heaven. Chelsey has taken wonderful care of my Charlie. They’ve developed a bond in such a short period of time. Chelsey is very sweet and informative. It gave me an overwhelming peace knowing my Charlie was happy and comfortable.”
About: I have always loved animals and started working in veterinary medicine as early as I could. I am now a technician and love caring for animals of all all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have experience with all types of animals, energy levels, and needs. I have plenty of time right now and would love to spend time with your pets and can even take them on adventures if desired. I try and keep pets the least stressed than can be when I am around. I treat every pet like my own and how I would want my pet to be treated. I am known at my clinics for excellent patient care.
“Mary is the absolute best! She’s been watching my cats for a while now and always makes me feel so safe in leaving them in her care :) they’re always well loved while i’m away!”
“Vaneesha is a must book! She took care of our babies for a last minute trip and sooooo put our minds at ease! This was also our longest trip apart from our newest kitty and she made sure we were kept in the loop the entire time. 10/10!!!”
About: I've taken care of my first dog when I was 11 years old. I now have two dogs of my own. I also volunteer at the humane society as a hobby. I understand the hassle and income. Do not worry! I am here to provide my very best. I do not have ANY experience with cats. I work full time to make sure my dogs get what they need. I can do dog walking and drop-in visits during weekdays. I do not rush. I do not provide boarding. *When booking a service, please let me know before the available date. I will have no choice to decline the request.* I walk them twice a day, tummy rubs help a lot, brushing teeth, grooming, cleaning, buying them toys, closely monitoring, providing blankets, and healthy food.
“Rachael was so kind and communicative. Was nervous about leaving my fur babe alone for 4 days but I’m at a much greater ease knowing he had some company everyday! Will book with her again!”
About: Since I was a child, I've had a strong affinity for animals and have always adored fur pets. I've been caring for animals since I was ten years old. I've worked with senior dogs for four years. Neighbors and friends have entrusted me with keeping an eye on, walking, bathing, and feeding their pets. I also kept an eye on chickens. I figured rover would be a great way for me to interact with a variety of furry friends. I can work full time on weekends and part time and weekdays because I’m still in school. But I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and drop ins on weekdays. I don't keep pets in cages because I don't want them to feel confined. I do accept pets on furniture, but if you want your pet to be crated I will allow it. I also have a very large yard for your pet to run about in.
“Jetaun was such a thoughtful and caring host for my kitty. I felt assured that she was not only well attended to, but also receiving a vibrant environment to fill her curiosity. She seemed at home and comfortable, and Jetaun was accommodating and responsive throughout her stay!”
About: I love animals and I’ve worked with them my whole life. I’ve worked with dogs and cats going on 4 years; working with all kinds of breeds helped me understand better to provide the best care. Pet care fits in my weekly routine mainly because I’m always doing this for the betterment of my own pets and it would be nothing short of an honor to do it for others. My pets are always engaged and more than cared for. The expectation would hold the same for someone else’s pet. Playtime and mental enrichment are priority, if you play hard you sleep hard!
“JMark, is awesome!! I'm so glad I chose him. My Rottie Rome has really warmed up to him and looks forward to seeing him. They've quickly formed a bond and do well together. He keeps me updated on any developments concerning Rome, and we are pleased with his service. I hope he's apart of the family for a long while.”

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.
