“I couldn’t have wished for a better first sitter on Rover than Sara. She did an outstanding job checking in on my cat during the holidays. She provides very detailed cards with plenty of photos, videos, and notes on her visit. Highly recommended!”
“Fantastic! Communication was above and beyond what I expected, the updates, and pictures assured me as a nervous Mom that I picked the right person for my little menagerie of pets. I am overjoyed with the care my pets and I received from Lindsay. Even from overseas I was able to communicate daily, and when the unexpected happened at my home ( loss of power due to a storm) she made me feel calm and assured my pets were ok. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Phoebe is an amazing pet sitter - she is always reliable, punctual, and provides daily updates with photos. We highly recommend Phoebe for her caring and professional service. Smokey loves her!”
“Morgan was so great watching my cat, Graham! She was so accommodating meeting me and Graham beforehand. She sent me tons of pictures and videos both days she checked in on him and made sure he got some affection those days.”
“Once again, Colleen took care of my kitty, Baby. She did a wonderful job and I felt very safe knowing that Colleen was coming. Again, Colleen followed all my directions and went above and beyond. Thanks Colleen!”
“She did a great job with my cats when I was on the vacation for a week. She went above and beyond on her drop in visits and even left a nice bonus of printed pictures of my cats. Which is understandable because they are very photogenic.”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter for my cat while I was away. She even accommodated an unplanned concern of mine at a moments notice. I recommend her services and would gladly book with her again!”
“Trent took excellent care of our three pets while we were away. We have three pets, an older black lab Coal requires medication twice daily (thanks to some jerk running him over in the dog park parking lot), along with my wife’s two cats, Cooper & Murphy. Trent was completely reliable with his care routine, including using excellent judgement on the length of Coal’s three daily walks in last week’s extreme heat. What really impressed us was how quickly he connected with Murphy. She is extremely shy and cautious around new people, especially men, but she warmed up to Trent almost immediately and even sitting next to him to let him pet her - which is the highest praise we could give any pet sitter! Trent was easy to work and coordinate with, including being very responsive. His communication throughout our trip was outstanding. He kept us updated and sent wonderful photos that gave us such peace of mind knowing our quadrupeds were in great hands. His attention to detail and genuine care for our pets made our time away stress-free, evidently stress free for our pets as well given Murphy’s endorsement. We highly recommend Trent and will definitely be booking him again for future trips.”
“Alison showed love for our cats, and our cats loved her-- even the flighty one who usually hides from strangers was investigating Alison at the very first visit, and eating from her hand and accepting pets after just a few days. Alison was communicative and adaptable throughout the visits, taking in stride meal adjustments and our sometimes-messy old cat. And she takes top quality pet photos!”
About: I have previous experience working in the Veterinary field. We have one well-loved senior beagle mix and two, sweet male kitties. I am skilled with medication administration with dogs and cats. I am a part-time preschool teacher, so I have time during the morning and afternoon to take care of your fur babies. I am available on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a screened in porch for a little extra relaxation. I will offer plenty of treats, and fresh water for every visit is a must!
“Gail was so great! She took great care of my cat Newton. She was so well organized and prepared when she came to meet him and she sent the best updates that really showed she was getting to know him! I would absolutely trust her to take care of him again.”
“Ashley is wonderful with our dog! She took great care of him while we were on vacation, leaving us at peace knowing he is safe with her drop in visits. He seems to miss her, as he is looking out the door to see if she is coming by. We will definitely use Ashley again!”
About: I've loved taking care of all animals since I was a kid! I grew up with a dog and now have one of my own, along with guinea pigs. I will give your pet all the love and care they deserve! I currently work full time M-F, and can help out early in the morning or in the evening, as well as on the weekends. I will give your pet all the love and attention they want, and will follow your instructions to the letter! I will help out in any way I can!
“Lina is extremely attentive and caring towards our pets. Even our usually shy kitty has learned to come and greet her at the door. We feel at ease leaving our pets knowing they are in the best hands!”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a loyal and energetic German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable handling larger breeds and understand the importance of structure, training, and active play. For the past 10 years, I’ve cared for my sweet Shih Tzu, which has taught me the value of gentle care, patience, and meeting the needs of smaller, more sensitive dogs. Although this is my first time pet sitting for animals outside my own, I’m eager to learn and truly passionate about the well-being of all pets. I approach every animal with care, respect, and a willingness to adapt to their unique needs. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available to care for your pet before 8 AM and after 4 PM on weekdays. This means I can provide early morning and evening walks, playtime, and feeding to help keep your pet’s routine consistent. On weekends, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate longer visits, drop-ins, or even overnight care. I’m committed to making sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise whenever they need it, so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. When visiting your home, I treat your space and pets with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s about feeding, exercise, or any special needs your pet has. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is well cared for. My goal is to keep your pet happy and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings, whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer stay.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
Ni did a great job watching our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was very diligent about providing many pictures daily showing her completing each activity that we asked her to do, much more so than other cat sitters we have used in the past. Our cat is older and requires some specialized care, including a couple medications and cleaning up frequent messes she makes, having more difficulty than younger cats with her daily activities. Ni did everything she needed too well and diligently. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.
Lei went above and beyond in caring for Pumpkin. It was clear that she treated my cat with genuine kindness, patience, and love rather than just completing the visits. She paid close attention to Pumpkin’s needs and took the time to make her feel comfortable. Knowing that someone cared for my cat as if she were their own made our trip so much less stressful. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely trust Lei to care for Pumpkin again in the future.
Alison was very easy to work with and took wonderful care of our three cats. She made sure they were fed, played with, had plenty of water, and made sure the waste drawer in our litter robot was never too full. She also helped with bringing packages in and watering a couple of plants. Book with confidence when picking Alison!
Thank you Alison for the fantastic photos and detailed information about the information I’ve conveyed I care the most about. And going above and beyond and my baby boy (cat) leans into you even without prolonged exposure or time btw you two which means you give off good cat instincts :) thank you for doing what you do! I trust you in my house and w my boy :)
Lindsay was the best! I have a very clingy cat and she didn't hesitate to sit down and spend some time with her every visit. I received text and photo updates every day. It was a big relief knowing my favorites were taken care of while I was away. I'll be booking Lindsay for my time away in the future for sure!
Virginia was great with our two cats while we were away for our wedding, it was great to have peace of mind that they were in good hands. She very clearly loves cats and treated them with so much respect from their very first meeting! She also gave us updates through the Rover app each visit letting us know what mischief the cats got up to!
Katrina was the first pet sitter we have had outside of family members. She is responsive and caring. She was very flexible with the changing needs of our three senior cats and took the time to make sure they got what they needed. She communicated with us during the booking and adapted as needed. We recommend Katrina and are planning to rebook for our next trip.
Joshua was so amazing with my furbabies! I have ring cameras and could see how calm he was around them and did everything perfectly! Would highly recommend!!! Incredibly responsive, professional and caring. And he was a total lifesaver with a last minute booking!!! 10000000000000% satisfied customer.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
