“Nicole took good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent pictures and details of what she did on her visits. She followed up with a question about their food which we appreciated. We would recommend Nicole and plan to rebook with her.”
“We are so happy we found Rico. Our cat gets so stressed out when we leave her overnight. Rico took such good care of her. She acted like we had just come back from the grocery store after being gone for four nights. She was so relaxed and happy! On top of that the house so clean one could not even tell anyone had been there! Thank you Rico for taking such exceptional care of our Maxine! Best pet sitter EVER !”
“Caroline did a great job with our cat, Blanche—sitting with her when she decided to hide or tossing toys when she felt playful. She arrived on time and brought in the packages from our porch. We highly recommend Caroline and hope to have her come back for our next trip!”
“John is easygoing and passionate about pet care. Based on our initial meeting I had no reservations about his ability to manage drop-in visits with my cat. While I was away, he provided detailed reports on each visits with photos to document their activities together. John clearly made the effort to bond with my cat and show him the affection he desperately craves while I’m away. I will certainly invite John to return in the future.”
“She was fantastic with my cats and at working with me when my flight got cancelled. She went above and beyond even what we requested and my kitties loved her :) 12/10 would recommend”
“Heather was the BEST with our senior dog and understood how much our chewy is loved and not just our dog but family, I would 100% recommend her and use her in the future. THANK YOU beyond a million Heather ….”
About: Hello there ! My name is Grace and I am 25 years old living in Rochester NY and love all animals! I worked for Lollipop farm for about a year as an adoption counselor but decided to part ways with the career as I’ve found other hobbies. But since then I’ve always found my way back with fostering and animal sitting for friends and family. I’d love to extend the love to your furry friend too! I can’t wait to meet your animals and give them all the love! So I work full time right now but the hours aren’t the same each week but I’m always free before 9AM and the latest 9PM. So it all depends on the animals needs. I try to have them get use to my scent first, give them attention, and make sure to ask the owner as many questions as needed to make the situation easier for the animal. Since I would be someone new.
“Jess is the best! She's been watching our cat when we go out of town for a few years now and she does a great job. Our cat is always well cared for in our absence and Jess goes above and beyond to make sure our cat is comfortable.”
About: My name is Alex Johnson and I am 29 years old and would love to dog/cat sit for you! I recently graduated from Rider University and looking for a friendly companion to look after in doing something I love. I am very responsible with dogs and give them all the attention they need! I am able to give your dog any treatments as needed. I will be 100% dedicated to your dog and will abide by any necessary requirements your dog needs. I always make sure that I have time for pet care and that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy to be with me! I take care of my 7 year old cat and 3 year old dog by responding to them in an attentive manner. They always get the best treatment!
About: I grew up with dogs. I helped care for the family dog and in the past 6 years have periodically dog-sat for neighbors, family and friends. I love dogs and will love your dog like they are my own. I am a teacher who works 8:15 - 4:00 Monday through Friday. I have the summers off as well as holiday breaks. I keep an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog gets daily movement. I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood near a park. I have one dog, Hazel. She is amazing with other dogs and will be best friends with your dog by the end of the stay.
“Madeline took amazing care of my cat Archie! She took great care in feeding him, and giving him love, pets, and attention. She is communicative, reliable, and sent the cutest pictures of Archie! I could fully enjoy my trip knowing my cat was left in her excellent care.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I grew up with both large and small dogs, from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers, and now have Huskies of my own. I’ve also grown up with cats and currently have a Maine Coon. My love for animals extends beyond dogs and cats—I also have a saltwater aquarium that brings me so much joy, and I’ve had a passion for wildlife and all kinds of animals from a young age. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets and give them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m happy to help in any way I can! I work nights, so I have plenty of availability every morning and afternoon. I’d love to use that free time to care for and spend time with animals who need a little extra love and attention while their families are away. If you have a fenced-in yard, I’d love to let your pups run around, play fetch, and get all those zoomies out! We can also go for walks, enjoy some sunshine, or simply spend some quality time playing and relaxing together. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun while they’re in my care!
“Alyssa was so wonderful! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times for my cat . He seemed to have a wonderful time there. In fact he seemed a little sad that I came back to get him lol. She was great with sending updates and pictures on how he was adjusting. I would definitely recommend and plan to use her in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Irondequoit
We've asked Rebecca and Justin to watch our cats for several years now, and they are truly the best. In addition to great care and great updates, the've gone above and beyond for us several times when the unexpected has cropped up. We're so grateful for their expert service, and their kindness and generosity.
Jenna was fantastic with drop-ins for our cats while we went on a two week getaway. Our oldest needs oral medicine twice per day and he can be quite finicky, as cats are, and she handled it with ease. It was great seeing her photo updates of playtime each visit and knowing that both of our cats took to her in short order (even the ultra shy one!). She was very communicative and reliable throughout. I would definitely recommend Jenna and we will happily be repeat customers for any future trips!
Nicole was absolutely wonderful! Leaving my pet is never easy, but knowing they were in Nicole's care gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and provided updates throughout. I felt completely at ease the entire time. I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
Jessica took care of our 2 cats for 4 days, stopping in once/day. Our cats are very social with one in particular needing a lot of love. She made sure to communicate regularly (included pictures) and was very responsive to my texts. She seemed very thorough and left the kitties well taken care of. Thank you, Jessica!
We're so grateful to Lana for taking care of our kitty babies while we were away. She's responsible, reliable and very pleasant. This was our second time leaving our cats in her care. Knowing that she was there let us enjoy our vacation without worrying about home. She's wonderful!

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 .

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.
