“Makenzie dropped in to check on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She did a great job! She sent us pictures of them and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I would not hesitate to have her take care of any of our animals in the future!”
“Ali went above and beyond to get some important packages off our porch, check our mail, and water our plants. My cat had been sick the week before and she was so attentive and proactive to her needs, always keeping me updated. 10/10 recommend!!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Aisha did a fabulous job! I was so happy with how she took care of my cat and updated me as things went. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“Julie and Jensen did a wonderful job caring for our cat on our recent five day trip! She sent us pictures of the cat playing with her toys, the litter box and feeding area were very clean and most importantly, our cat was happy! Thank you!”
“Stan did an exceptional job taking care of my cat. Binx can be difficult with new people but Stan took care of him like he was his own. I really appreciated the most that he came every day at almost exactly the same time. This cat is very much into things happening exactly when he expects them to happen. Thank you again, Stan. You did a wonderful job and I never worried one moment about him!!”
“Very attentive to our cat’s medicine needs. Chloe was so sweet to carry our sweet baby around on her shoulder (like I told Chloe she likes!) and she even switched out the cat toys periodically. Thank you for the peace of mind, Chloe! Will be booking again!”
About: I currently have a German Shepherd/ Husky named Echo and a cat named Stella at home. I have always grown up with animals and taken care of dogs, cats, and even snakes. I work remote so I can work anywhere which makes my schedule pretty open. I usually work Monday through Friday 8 hours a day, normally 11:30 to 8pm. For my own pets I take my dog to the park, dog park, the creek, and anywhere that I can really. I am okay with walking the dogs, playing with the dogs, staying with them if needed, changing litter, and taking care of them like they are my own.
“Makayla is always very responsive and has been flexible with me when times have changed. She’s wonderful about sending Biden’s or photos to let me see Fiadh is being loved while I’m away. Thank you 🙏”
“We had another wonderful experience with Mica! This was our second time having her care for our cats, and once again, she was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them. We felt completely comfortable leaving our cats in her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet care services!”
About: I work at a vet hospital and I have for 5years, I’ve owned many pets previously. I know how to give medicine properly and tell when something is off! I work full time! I’m completely free on weekends and most weekdays after 3pm! I can make adjustments for you if you give me enough notice! I live in an apartment with 2 cats, with plenty of space and walk and play so there will be no shortage of play time!! However at your home I would treat them as my own! Playtime, walks, and even cuddles if they want! I love all kinds of pets and I can make everything go smoothly!
About: I have ~5 years experience caring for all kinds of breeds of dogs and cats in a vet/boarding facility. Capable of administering oral medications to both cats and dogs. Capable of administering diabetic medication to both cats and dogs. Experience with special diets. Experience with disabled pets. (I know all the tips n’ tricks to making sure your fur baby can still have that full dog walking experience!) I have two cats. One is 3 and the other is almost 13 years old, and both still play together and act like kittens. They keep my heart filled and help me everyday to maintain a regular routine. So it’s not just me taking care of them, they also in a way take care of me every day. I will care for them as I would any animal. With patience and love. Obviously some need a lil more patience or love and that’s okay. I will never hesitate to make sure an animal is well cared for.
About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. We have a welcoming home for you and your pets. I'm pretty flexible at the moment. I can come to your house for walks or feedings but cannot stay the night. Me and my mom are both home alot so we can keep an eye on and take very good care of your pets. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Let's see if we're a good fit!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.
About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 9 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on every good day we find!!

You did a wonderful job and I never worried one moment about him!!
Chloe and Mica were beyond wonderful! They took such amazing care of our cats and house. We were gone for over two weeks and when we got home, everything was perfect and the cats were in fantastic condition. We could tell by the daily updates, photos and their questions/concerns that they were more than just stopping in to feed the cats and check water and litter. They truly cared about all three cats and their different personalities. We simply can not say enough about how pleased we are with them. Not only were our cats well taken care of but they were taking care of our plants as well during an extended extensive heat advisory. They did so many things that were above and beyond that it’s difficult to name them all. We are so extremely pleased with them and will absolutely rebook with them any time we need someone to take care of our furry family members.

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 .

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 request a 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 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.
