“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”

“We are so pleased that Ruth took care of our three kitties during our recent trip! We have been uncomfortable about our upcoming trips because travel upsets our kitties and we have to leave them behind. After our trial trip with Ruth, we feel that we can travel this year without the worry because she will give TLC to our sweet cas while we are gone.”
“Kylee is a great sitter. She was very loving and attentive to my threw kitties. She went above and beyond for us. We can't recommend her enough. 🐱💖”

“Alexis was absolutely amazing with Mocca! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and loving, and we could tell Mocca felt so comfortable with her. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures during every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mocca and gave her so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Alexis again. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
About: My family has had a golden since I was born and I was always entrusted to take responsibility of my latest dog Punkin! Apart from that I have watched and walked neighbor and family friends' dogs! I have experience dealing with dogs on strict diets and certain walking schedules. I also have experience with taking care of senior dogs. All deserve the same love and respect no matter the type or breed. I have started college back up again YAY! my schedule allows a good amount of freedom after 12 pm but I also have a work study and will update this text when my daily work schedule comes out. At this moment I am free anytime after 11 or 12 pm on the weekdays and after 9am on the weekends until further notice!! I have experience regarding crating the dog. I have no dogs at the moment at my house and currently am not offering services at my house. I always provide a good amount of play time and long walks for each pet but make sure they are comfortable with my presence first.
“We have had Amber watch our kitties multiple times since moving to the area. She does a great job with them and takes good care of our apartment while we are away. We are so grateful to leave our kitties (and our home) in the care of someone so compassionate and trustworthy. We highly recommend her!”

“This is the second time I have had this lovely couple babysit my cat while I was out of town! The attention to detail is outstanding and I will continue to re book. I feel extremely at ease leaving town when they are checking on my cat. Thank you again!”
“Alexis was great! She followed our feeding/cleaning instructions perfectly and was 100% on top of communication. I was very impressed and will likely be using her services again in the near future. I can and do recommend.”
“Miriah did a great job looking after our cats while we were away on vacation, cleaning the litter box with the pine pellet system we use, cleaning the water fountain and changing the filters. Our cats are scared of people and hide, but she tried to find them and take pictures for us every time she went, and gave us updates. Thanks Miriah!”

Madison was amazing! We went out of town for a weekend getaway and were so anxious about leaving our cats behind. However, Madison eased all these worries away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell my cats were in caring hands. She was able to get my reserved cat to come out of his shell and even administered medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Ruth was such a blessing! Leaving my baby, Geralt, for a month was incredibly stressful, but from our very first conversation she immediately put my mind at ease. She answered all my questions, took the time to meet Geralt beforehand, and went above and beyond caring for both him and my home. Knowing he was so well loved and cared for made all the difference. I highly recommend Ruth, she is amazing and I’ll definitely rebook her again to care for Geralt. Thank you Ruth!
I recently had Sia cat sit for my cat, Mylo, and she was fantastic. Sia came to my home each evening, feeding him, letting him enjoy some time on the back porch, and giving him company. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She sent quick updates and was punctual every day, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, Mylo was relaxed and happy clear signs he’d been well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Sia absolutely did. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring cat sitter.

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.

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.
