“Tatiana went above and beyond and took such great care of our cats Pepper and Nori - as if they were her own! Our cats received so much love and attention- and they were very relaxed when we came home. She helped make sure we could enjoy our trip stress free. Do yourself a favor and hire Tatiana and your kitty will fall in love with her, just like our cats did! 😻🫶”

About: I have grown up with big dogs and have helped my family in fostering over 15 different shelter dogs with different needs ages and behaviors. I also have over 5 years in dog and cat sitting experience. I’m currently super flexible and can fit in walks frequently i’m home for summer break so have lots of free time. I also have a car and can drive to nearby trailheads. If caring for pets in your home I will take all precautions and instructions given seriously. I’ll also update with photos of your pet and communicate accordingly.
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“Excellent service overall. Conscientious, detail-oriented, punctual, resourceful, I could go on. What really matters is how much she cares about our animals. Gives me so much comfort.”
“Very communicative and lovely with our aloof chow chow mix. He swooped in to save us with a last minute booking. We're grateful!! Will be booking again in the future :)”
“Taylor is most excellent! She knew and provided just what Gracie and I needed, and more! I believe I hit the jackpot when I found Taylor! So kind, sweet, understanding and helpful!”
“When Nicoletta is taking care of my animals I don’t worry. She is capable, dependable and really loves animals. She sends pics and gives updates and puts my mind at ease!”
“Agne did such a wonderful job taking care of my 2 kitties. Although she didn’t have the opportunity to see too much of them since they like to remain hidden, she made sure they were well cared for. She also had to do some ant combat. I highly recommend her for your upcoming cat care. I will be referring her to my cat lady friends.”
About: My name is Kelly and I’ve been caring for pups for 5 years, and behavior coach and trainer for 2. My passions focus on giving each pup the best experience, whether that’s through enrichment games, cuddles, or extra walks. You’ll feel like you never left with plenty of pupdates I’ll send your way. In my free time, you’ll find me training at the rescue and helping pups find their furever homes or working with kids. I provide a hands-on experience with my pups I care for, anticipating that I’ll work with various ages or needs. I can be as involved as you need me. Unfortunately my pet boardings are on hold for now. I currently provide house sittings, walks, and drop-ins. When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.
“Stefanie is the best. She takes great care of my rambunctious 2 frenchies and they adore her. She's very conscientious and prompt and I know my pups are getting attention and being well cared for.”
“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“We’ve been using Sarah since our puppy was just 9 weeks old, and we honestly couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! She’s incredible at keeping us updated after each visit with photos and a summary of how everything went, which gives us so much peace of mind. She doesn’t just stop by—she truly engages with our pup by reinforcing her training, playing with her, and making sure she’s happy and comfortable. We’re so grateful to have found someone so caring, responsible, and trustworthy.”

I’d definitely recommend Catherine. We went on a long vacation to Europe and had Catherine drop in on our two cats every day. She looked after them so well, they are throughly spoilt and my anxious boy didn’t show any outward signs of being overly anxious (he has pulled his back fur out during previous trips. We will definitely be contacting Catherine when we atr looking for cat care in the future
Kelly was wonderful. My cat seemed to like her right away and she made sure to update me throughout my time away and sent photos. I felt very calm knowing someone kind and responsible was caring for my cat while I was away. Would recommend her services to anyone in need.
Amanda was a great pet sitter for our cat! She was there on time and stayed for the full duration of each booking. We loved the different updates and pictures she sent with each visit, she was there to spend time with him. We could tell our cat warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company, which put us at ease during vacation. Will definitely be booking her 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 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.
