“Koko was so sweet with my cat! I loved her updates and pictures she sent me daily. I felt like my cat was in very good and trusted hands. I would 100% rebook with her and recommend her to my close family/friends.”
“Raymond was great with our cats. Additionally he was super respectful of our unit and apartment complex as a whole. Will definitely reach out to Raymond for any future cat sitting needs.”
About: I was a dog mom to big labrador husky. Until recently, we had to say goodbye to our silly beloved pup. I want to continue giving my time and attention to dogs of all sizes on daily walks, check in with your pet at your home or board at mine. I also have a cat, and know how playful they can be as kittens and as adults they like to come to you with mellow energy. I know how special fur babies are to us and how much love they give back. Allow me shower your fur baby with love, playtime and daily walks while you are away! I have experience with dog pulling and how to handle barking at other dogs. I also can drive your dog to another location in my car. I will need your doggie booster or car harness. My mornings are remote working 8am-12pm during the week. I have a deck and large backyard the we can take breaks playing and a doggie door to access for potty breaks. After lunch, we can go on a nice long walk 30-60mins in the neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and a sliding door for the deck. My parents have a senior cat, two double doors to separate access. I believe in respecting people’s space and privacy. When you need me to pet sit at your place, I will stay in the living room and kindly ask if I can use the restroom if necessary.
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and began pet sitting professionally 12 years ago. I've cared for both senior dogs and puppies, plus a wide variety of breeds and sizes. I've walked dogs at a local animal shelter. I have experience in socializing, potty training, and giving amazing head scratches. I love being outside, mini adventures to a park or trail, high-energy play time, and cuddling up with a fur baby and a good book. I'm a college student, so my schedule is very flexible! I'd like to care for pets throughout the week. I love taking walks and playing outside with dogs, and I love staying in with a cat and a book just as much! Depending on your pet's needs, I can stay home with them, walk them in their familiar area, or take them on a little adventure to a dog park or a quiet trail. All activities will be discussed and approved by you first!
“My 6 month old kitten had the best stay with Shiyibin! Your cats were so sweet to her and it seems like she misses her playmates already🩵 Thank you for sending regular updates and photos, I felt so at ease knowing she was in your care!”
“Thank you Meryah for being wonderful! Our rescue cat who is very nervous around people absolutely loved Meryah. She sent pictures and videos and our cat was snuggling on her lap and loving life; we were able to relax and have a great time knowing our kitty was in such great hands.”
“Allie is fabulous with my cat Oliver! She has watched him several times now and is absolutely amazing! She really takes the time to give him attention and sends lots of updates. It is clear my cat adores her. It is hard to find a good cat sitter on Rover and cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I’m Penny and I have been an avid animal lover since I was young. I have taken care of many friends’ and family’s cats. I also have 2 cats myself- both rescues. My current boy is 8 years old and has had various medical issues. My youngest adopted kitten is 11 months and required a lot of special needs and socializing. I am very experienced in cat care- whether it be medications, feeding, cleaning, socializing, enrichment… you name it! I firmly believe every cat is their own being. I adjust my expectations and requirements for care from friendly cats, shy cats, feisty cats, and more. I am currently searching for full time work, so I am very open to care at most times. I am also very quick to respond, so if you need something ASAP, please reach out to me! My cats are the epicenter of my life, so I will make sure to treat yours just the same ❤️ I am easily able to transport myself via car or walking to your home! I am open to all assistance you may need, just ask me! Also, I’m fabulous at taking pictures and videos to share, as I know that makes a huge difference while you are away from your babies!!
About: For about 7 years now, I am the one my friends and family trust to take care of their pets whenever they are away from home. I provide whatever necessary care is needed for each pet including walking , feeding , playing, giving meds & supplements, or cleaning out litter boxes. I grew up with dogs and cats. Read so many books on pet care and training and I also have experience working with deaf dogs. I am a CODA (son of deaf parents) so I grew up learning sign language. My first job was walking multiple dogs in my neighborhood. I love teaching puppies how to do tricks like speaking on command, sitting, shaking, and fetching. When I care for someone’s pet I treat them like they are my own. With lots of love, fun, and structure as needed. I’m fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule as an actor and do virtual auditions and remote content so I am home a lot. This gives me the opportunity to give pets the attention they need whether that’s walking them, playing with them, or even training them to do a trick (teaching dogs commands is usually easier with pups). The neighborhood I live in is very peaceful and it’s comfortable to walk dogs around my home. There’s a nice park right across the street with lots of space to explore. I keep my home a nice cool temperature and monitor how the pets I care for are doing. If I am caring for someone’s pet at their home, I follow the care directions given to me and respect any boundaries given. My primary goal is to make sure your pet is properly taken care of and happy!
“This is our first time working with Shaniya. Her communication was great, super responsive and flexible. Our dogs have not been cared for by someone outside of the family and Shaniya did a great job working with them. They are also elderly, picky eaters, and one needs medication and she did a great job with them. Would definitely work with her again.”
About: I love all animals and grew up taking care of animals! I grew up with dogs and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience in giving animals medicine if required. I’m a recent graduate and have plenty of time to take care of your animals. My schedule is very flexible. I am looking forward for the opportunity to take care of your furry friend. I make sure my cat has plenty of play time and is well fed and groomed. I will make sure your pet is as well taken care of.
About: Lifelong animal caregiver with veterinary science training, devoted dog mom, and full-time nanny—bringing professional, nurturing, family-level care to every furry friend like no other sitter. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, with open weekday mornings and flexible weekends, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and plenty of quality time for pets. I adapt to each pet’s unique needs, providing flexible, attentive care including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of love and reassurance. Flexible to many more :)
About: I’ve owned a cat in the past and also have taken care of my parents’ and brother’s cats on many separate occasions. My roommates in the past have also owned cats so I’m very familiar with being around them and taking care of them. Respecting their boundaries is key! I am currently taking time to start a new career, and am in the slow ramp up process so I have lots of time to cat sit! I have a very respect-oriented approach for cats, where I let them come to me and take their time getting comfortable before petting or playing with them. Every cat is different so I want to take the time to read their energy and capacity before I overwhelm them. If they have a favorite toy, I’ll use that to keep them engaged and stimulated during sitting gigs, and cuddle them if that’s what they want! If not, sometimes they just want someone around while they do their own thing and that’s great too.
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, I’ve been gaining more skills & knowledge on animals for about 5 years now. I started on Rover in 2021 but I’ve been pet sitting & caring for all kinds of pets since I was a little girl ! I’ve taken a break from dogsitting on rover as I was focusing a little more on my current job but I’m looking to find a couple of lovely families to work for occasionally out here now! I’ve had a handful of bookings here on Rover but most of my services were done by word of mouth in my hometown! I have a few pets of my own, boarding in my house would be a little difficult but I’m more than happy to take on a couple dog walking duties & house-sitting opportunities! Growing up I’ve always had pets, not a time went by that I wasn’t surrounded by a furry companion ! I work a part-time job currently so my schedule is not completely free, I will however accommodate schedules & happily do so to my best abilities! I like to stay busy so although I currently am employed I’d still love to care for your pets on my days off/ when I get off work! :) I have a fenced in yard, I do live in an apartment. I have two cats & a dog but if your pet doesn't like other pets I have a separate room my pets can stay in. I have a crate if you prefer having them kenneled at night !
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and connecting with animals of all kinds is my greatest joy. Rescued is my favourite breed, and I specialize in watching senior pets and special needs pets. I have experience with seniors who require medications and particular care, as well as special needs, including but not limited to blind, deaf, and three-legged pets. I have a flexible work schedule and when I’m not at work, I’m a huge homebody and live alone, so your pet will get tons of one-on-one attention and love. I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own, and I only watch one dog at a time, so if your pet needs to be the sole pet, then we are a perfect fit. I do have one sweet senior guinea pig; she can be secured in another room if you’re worried about your pet bothering her. I absolutely love watching small pets as well and have tons of experience with guinea pigs. Please note that I currently work hybrid and go into work 2-3x a week; however, I only go in for a few hours, I will never leave your pet alone for 8 hours. Luckily my work is super flexible, so if I need to adjust my hours or office days for your pet, please let me know and I will accommodate. Your pet’s needs are more important to me. My office is also super dog friendly, if you think they’d like to come with me! My place is very quiet; I live alone and never have people over, and I’m home most of the time, so I’m great for anxious or shy pets. I also only board one dog at a time, so your pet will get 100% of my attention, which is also great for shy and nervous dogs who don’t do well with other dogs. (If you have two dogs I’m happy to watch them together, I just don’t watch dogs from different families at once.) I don’t have a backyard, but I do have a spacious balcony for your dog to sunbathe. I’m on the top floor and my building has an elevator, which is ideal for senior and special needs pups. Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment, from the couch to my bed, my home is their home.
“Betteena saved my cat’s life. Truly. What was supposed to be routine pet sitting turned into a medical emergency for one of my cats while I was away, and I genuinely do not know what I would have done without her. My cat Harley became seriously ill, and she immediately stepped in without hesitation. She was flexible, updating her visits and adjusting her schedule around my cat’s medication needs. She monitored him constantly, administered medications, cleaned up after his accidents, and kept me updated nonstop. She didn’t just “watch” my pets. She saved Harley as if he were her own. In one of the most stressful moments imaginable, she stayed calm, proactive, compassionate, and unbelievably attentive. She noticed every detail, acted quickly, and handled everything with so much care and urgency. Because of her, Harley got help when he needed it most. I truly believe she saved his life. On top of all of that, she still made sure my other cat was equally loved, comforted, and cared for. My home was immaculate, communication was constant, and I never once questioned whether my pets were safe in her hands. Finding someone you trust with your animals is rare. Finding someone who loves and protects them as fiercely as you do is almost impossible. She is that person. I will forever be booking Betteena and recommending her to every pet parent I know. If you are lucky enough to book her, do it immediately. There are not enough stars, words, or thank-yous in the world for what she did for my family. Harley and I will forever be grateful.”
“Thien- Y stayed at our home and watched our 3 year old Weimaraner, Penny Lane, for 14 nights! Our dog can be somewhat stand off'ish with strangers but she warmed up to Thien- Y instantly. She was a dream to work with and was VERY VERY thorough on details before we left. She constantly sent us picture updates and videos which we really loved. Penny looked happy and relaxed when we got home and our house was spotless! During the entire stay we never once felt worried as we knew our pup was in good hands. Not only is she a sweet person, but she really does love animals and they love her. I plan on hiring Thien Y many, many times in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Heights
Anya was amazing! Our usual sitter had a last-minute schedule change, so we needed someone quickly, and she stepped right in. She was super communicative the whole time and kept us updated, which let us actually relax and enjoy our trip. The boys were happy and well cared for, and everything went smoothly. Her great reviews are well earned, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much, Anya!
I had a lot of peace of mind leaving my two cats under Mutsumi’s care. She had quick responses and was very thorough in updating with pictures for all the pet tasks (took pictures of clean kitty litter, filled water bowls, etc). My more social cat got good play time and she always checked up on the shy/hiding cat each visit while giving the shy one space. We had an unexpected heat wave while I was away, and she was also kind enough to turn on the AC for my cats exactly as requested.
10/10 recommend Courtney! She was absolutely wonderful with both of our cats! She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and was incredibly attentive throughout the weekend. One of our cats needed medication twice a day, and Courtney was always prompt, took extra time to write down instructions, and sent us updates after every visit. Our older cat, Bella, is naturally very shy and can get easily spooked. She unexpectedly swatted at Courtney (despite her being very friendly during the meet & greet), but Courtney handled the situation wonderfully! She was incredibly understanding and patient, giving Bella plenty of space and letting her warm up at her own pace throughout the weekend. We felt so comfortable knowing our girls were in such great hands. Will absolutely book Courtney again!
Cecily was absolutely wonderful with my cat Arrow! She was communicative, reliable, and sent great photos and updates, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. I felt completely comfortable knowing Arrow was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Cecily and would happily have her sit for Arrow again. She truly went out of her way to make sure Arrow and I had a great experience with her care. I’m pretty sure he misses having her visit!
We booked this extra visit to help our very shy cat get more comfortable with Marie before our week away. It was especially helpful for him to meet her while we were there, so he could see that we trusted her and feel safer around her. Marie was patient and gentle, and the visit definitely helped him build some trust and get accustomed to her before our trip.

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. 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.
