“Wendy is amazing! She knew it was my first time using Rover and my first time needing a sitter for my cat, she made sure I had updates with photos 1-2 times per day! I felt so safe to leave my cat with her and her family. They all treated him like their very own. I would definitely book with Wendy again, I am so beyond happy with my experience!😊😊”
“I was so pleased with the care my cat received from Krystal. Krystal communicated with me regularly and sent photos and videos, I knew my cat was being cared for by a caregiver who truly loves animals!”
“I cannot recommend Anna enough to anyone needing a pet sitter! She’s friendly, professional, prompt, and exceeded our expectations. I can be over the top when it comes to updates on my Persian kitty, and she knew just the right times to check in with pics to set my mind at ease. It was such a breath of fresh air to come home to a clean house and happy baby girl. Anna kept our little timid scaredy cat over the 4th of July- I honestly didn’t expect to come home to our cat relaxing as if we never left. We came crashing through the door with our luggage and commotion and our cat was just sitting calmly like- “oh, you’re back 🙄” It was a nice change from arrangements we had made for her in the past where she seemed somewhat traumatized from our being away. I highly suggest Anna and her adorable family for your pet sitting needs and will be referring her to my friends and family as well.”
“Jayne was great with our two kitties. They loved her keeping them company, playing with them, and of course feeding them. Will definitely be seeing if she’s available to help next time we’re out of town!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and to be honest I was a little nervous, but Vanessa made the process so easy! She was attentive, responsive, and sent lots of photos of my cat while I was away. I would strongly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind sitter!”
About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.
“Thank you so much Tiffany, Kilo and Carter say Hi and thank you for taking great care of them, not to mention entertaining them. Im sooo glad I found someone I trust with my boys. I will definitely be contacting you again, hopefully soon for our next outing.😁 Billy , Carter & Kilo 🐕🐕”
“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’m experienced in walking and playing with dogs in the evening. Don’t stress about leaving a dog in my care. They will be in excellent care and thoroughly entertained. I’m available after 5:30pm Monday thru Thursday. I have more flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a part-timer on Rover. I can walk, fed, and entertain your pet to make sure they are satisfied. My home is unfortunately not suitable for boarding pets on the regular. I am able to stay with the pet overnight at their home upon request.
About: I will provide playtime, exercise, and companionship to your pet in a safe environment. Relax and feel confident that your baby is being treated like family in my home. I offer round the clock care. Someone is always home to rub a belly or take a walk. Hit me up and let's get started. I have a fenced in front and backyard. 24 hours a day comfort care and security. Rest easy knowing your baby is well cared for.
“Abi was terrific! Very quick in responses and great with all her communications. She did a fantastic job and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. I am definitely going to be using her services again!”
About: I’ve been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to take care of, watch, check-on, entertain/walk, feed their pets since I was a kid. Just provide me with the instructions for your furry loved one and I’m at your service! I graduated with my PhD from the University of Tennessee in May 2026 and currently looking for jobs. So I’m home all day and available to take care of your pets at any time! I adhere to strict rules that clients provide me of how to take care of their pets and what to do in their homes. When I enter your home to take care of your pets, I start off with a warm hello to let your pets know I’m there and welcome them as they prefer (some like pets some like to be left alone!). I’ll entertain or stimulate your furry friends as requested. When I leave, I make sure everything is locked up and your furry friends are safe upon return. I also like to provide regular updates to clients to let them know their furry loved ones are taken care of!
“She was great! Extremely helpful and had great communication. She went the extra mile and provided us with a peace of mind knowing the pups were in good hands. Thank you so much Cynthia!”
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
“Raven has been absolutely fabulous! She looked after our kitty Sasha while we were gone and kept us updated. She’s a great communicator and lovely woman! Highly recommend and would 100% hire again.”

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.
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.
