“We are so glad we found Misty on Rover! She is very responsible and did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away. Our rescue cats are *very* skittish around strangers and Misty proved to be a very patient and thoughtful caregiver. We so appreciated that she came to meet our cats before her booking and she gave really detailed updates & photos while we were away. Our cats are very good at finding new places to hide and Misty, ever so persistent, always found them and made sure they were ok. She will continue to be our go-to cat sitter!”
“Medina visited our Ursula for several days and she was so communicative with us and loving towards our little one. We got multiple update photos for each visit which was a lovely touch to know how our baby was doing. We highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up in a household with multiple dogs, cats, turtles and the occasional chickens and turkeys, teaches you that every single animal is different, with unique personalities and needs; understanding that makes all the difference when you take care of them. I have a full time job, so I am available for early mornings and evening and night drop-ins. The weekends are free and my only concern those days is making sure I also keep my own cat's schedule. My lovely tabby is a task master, so we have a very solid routine for feeding, litter cleaning and play. This include morning and evening littler cleaning, marking sure his water fountain is running smoothly and cleaned once a week, rotating toys during play time so he doesn't lose interest, and set meal times
“Caoimhe is awesome! Highly recommended! I was on a business trip for 4 days and i was impressed with the level of care she provided to my senior cat! Caoimhe was fantastic in keeping me updated with how my cat was doing with frequent pics and messages! I just came back home today and my cat was happy and relaxed as if i had never left home! Will be booking Caoimhe again on my next trip!!!”
“Natalie was great!! She stayed at our home and took care of our cat Rex for 3 days and he was so, so happy to have her companionship. She sent pictures daily & left the place super tidy! Will definitely book her again!”
“Daniel was so kind and accommodating! I appreciated the daily updates and fast response to any questions I had. For future trips, I would love to book Daniel to watch Catrick again.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. With my experience working in a veterinary emergency hospital, I'm trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or stress and know how to respond quickly if a problem arises. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
About: I’ve always had a deep connection with dogs, growing up with a family dog I cared for and now owning my own. Whether your dog needs extra attention or faces specific challenges, I get it. From walks to playtime, I’m here to help and offer the support they need. Training takes time and practice, but with patience and dedication, it only gets better. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m a dog owner myself. I make time for daily walks, playtime, and training sessions with my dog. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule, so I can adapt to your pet’s needs. I’ll be sure to keep you updated with pictures of your furbaby throughout the day, so you can stay connected and worry-free. For drop-in visits, I ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine and environment. I keep their space tidy and secure, making sure any hazards are removed. During dog walks, I focus on providing a calm and enjoyable experience, keeping your dog safe on a leash and offering them mental and physical stimulation. Whether in your home or out on walks, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and will keep you updated with photos so you can stay connected and reassured.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for my entire life! I grew up in a household full of animals, ranging from fish to miniature donkeys, and I love dogs and cats. I have experience with animals with extra needs such as administering medication (via mouth, skin, and injection) and interacting with reactive dogs. If you trust me to take care of your pets, I will care for them as if they’re my own! My work schedule varies - some are very open and others are quite busy. I take jobs during less busy times so that I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! Safety is my #1 priority. I definitely lean towards taking more caution with new pets and environments. I understand how precious your pet must be to you, and they will be safe in my care!
“Sin Ying is wonderful with cats! My cat is very shy and cautious around strangers, but he warmed up to her surprisingly well and was comfortable interacting with her. She was also great at administering his medication and inhaler, Really appreciated how patient and gentle she was with him. Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
“Faith was the absolute BEST! Not only was she communicative and caring, she was an amazing photographer and was able to adapt to Tommy’s quirks and personality. We are so happy to have found her and can’t wait to have her back 😻”
“Suraj is reliable, communicative, and so gentle with Oliver. He came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I appreciated the updates and photos throughout the walk — it gave me so much peace of mind.”
“Emily S is incredible! She cared for my cat, Gray, as if she was her own. I had complete trust and peace of mind with Emily and while I was away, she updated me daily with little stories and photos of Gray. Emily’s kind nature, love of animals and flexible nature were apparent from the first moment we met at our “meet and greet”. When I arrived home from my vacation I could tell that my cat had been well cared for and well loved. By the way, Emily not only cared for my cat, she also cared for my over abundance of house plants. That is not an easy task as they have different watering instructions, yet, they were each in perfect condition when I arrived home. I trust Emily completely and am so grateful that I found her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“Stephanie did a great job looking after my two cats during my two week vacation. Even though they're super shy, she put in extra effort to make them feel comfortable and coax them into coming out and playing, which I know was not easy! Great petsitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Sebastian was great with my 6-year-old kitty and was super easy to work with! He sent daily updates and photos and was very responsive. He was also able to get my extremely timid cat to come out of hiding on day 2/3 and got her to play. And when my flight was suddenly cancelled and rebooked for the following morning, he was so gracious and quick to come back at that late hour just to let me back into my apartment. The whole experience was a huge relief as my first time using a Rover cat sitter. I could not have asked for a more trustworthy and empathic cat sitter!
Yeijin is a flexible, consummate professional who goes above and beyond to serve the needs of my cats and puts my mind at ease. She is proactive and takes initiative but will also respect boundaries and instructions that are set. Interestingly, she has introduced several practices that have greatly improved the dynamics of my home and pets. I am so thankful that we connected. I tend to travel domestically and internationally so having a caretaker of Yeijin’s is extraordinary. I have and will continue to book her. Thank you:).
Xiaoying was truly the best sitter we could have asked for! She genuinely cared for our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. She followed all of our instructions carefully and showed so much thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Every day, she sent us incredibly detailed updates along with tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout our trip. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were in such good hands! She even left some toys for them, which was such a sweet gesture. One of our cats is extremely shy, but Xiaoying was incredibly patient and made a genuine effort to earn her trust. We could tell that even our shy cat was becoming more comfortable around her, which meant so much to us. She is hands down one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! We would absolutely love to have her take care of our cats again in the future. We trust her completely and can’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️
Siyu is wonderful! She’s very thoughtful and detail-oriented, and always makes sure everything is taken care of and in order. My two senior cats love her, which means so much to me and gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is. I’m so glad I found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!
Ash took great care of my cat, Sova! She gave not only informative but very fun updates on how she and Sova were spending time during her visits. I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with him and I felt less nervous about being away knowing that Sova was well cared for. Ash didn’t hesitate to ask questions/clarifications if needed and I appreciated that!
My skittish shy cats were very comfortable with Kathryn, which is very unusual for them! I think this is a testament to Kathryn's patience and pet sitting skills :) Kathryn was absolutely lovely to work with and gave me thorough daily updates. She would be my first choice as a pet sitter the next time I need one.

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
