“Katerine & Brian did a great job taking care of my kitten! It was my first time leaving her home alone for multiple days in a row and they made sure they cared for her like their own. I received updates each day with many pictures which made leaving her a little more bearable. I will definitely use them in the future next time I need someone to watch my cat again!”
About: Coupon Code for your first booking with Rover :-) (giangd59383) I’ve had the honor to grow up with dogs since I was 7. I currently live with and care for a senior 15-year old chihuahua mix and a gorgeous 2-year tabby cat. It’s been a beautiful journey to navigate life with an anxious dog and a curious feline family member. I’ve learned that patience, time, and compassion is key. I am excited for the opportunity to meet your pet and get to know them 🤗 I currently have the opportunity to take some time to think about what I want to do in the next chapter of my life! I have plenty of time on my hands to spend time with your dog and/or cat! I treat your pets and home with deep reverence and integrity.

“Maria is the best! She takes the best care of my cat and makes sure I’m informed about how things are going. I’m so appreciative of the pictures and status updates. You can tell she really cares and treats your pets like her own.”
“Yiting is absolutely wonderful! My cats are usually very shy and take a long time to warm up to new people, but they trusted her right away — which says everything. She has such a caring and attentive way with them, and I could see they felt comfortable and content in her care. She sent plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be rebooking with Yiting and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and truly caring sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
Mitzi is a fantastic cat sitter. She came to the house a few days prior to my 7-day trip away. Met my cat (a ragdoll) and got to know her and her likes/dislikes. She sent me pictures and updates daily which was very sweet and great to hear the feedback. When I got home my cat who usually gets very upset with me for leaving (sitting with her back towards me and yelling loudly) didn’t do any of that. I think it’s because she liked Mitzi. Highly recommend Mitzi.
We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward. On that one day we had his services, he was very communicative, sent photos and videos playing with our cat, and overall checked off all our boxes. Excellent experience working with him!
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Aliso and felt completely comfortable knowing our dog and cat were in such caring hands. She was attentive, dependable, and treated our dog and cat with genuine love and kindness. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
