“We’ve been having Diego watch our cat for trips for the past few years and I can’t recommend him enough!! He’s so attentive, communicative and sweet - it’s always so nice not having to worry about our cat at all when we’re on a trip because we know she’s in the best hands.”
“Mary did a lovely job taking care of Kitten and sharing daily updates and photos. It was great to know Kitten was in such good hands while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend Mary for any pet sitting needs and will book again!”
“Taylor was awesome w my cat Otis. She would give me peace of mind by sending me pictures of him relaxing or playing w her. As a worried cat owner having someone stop by gave me to take peace of mind that he was safe and being loved. I will be utilizing Taylor as much as possible for future trips since she did such an amazing job making sure Otis was happy. She was even able to stop by before my trip and do a quick walk through w directions on how to get in, etc. I highly recommend Taylor and her services!”
“Alicia was amazing! From the initial meet and greet to regular check ins providing photos to final details and updates, we could not have been happier. She took terrific care of our cat and home. 100% would recommend Alicia!”
“Greg and Hilary are fantastic pet sitters! From the very first meeting, they were incredibly patient and kind — my 11-year-old wanted to give them the full rundown of instructions, and they listened attentively to every detail without rushing her at all. It clearly meant a lot to her that Greg and Hilary took it so seriously. They were flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process, and kept us updated with photos and check-ins while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Linsey was the absolute BEST with our two energetic young lady kitties. She was super communicative and it was so clear she understood and adored them and treated them as she would her own cat. I felt so comfortable leaving them under her care. She sent tons of photos, snuggled with them, played fetch with them, and even set up their tunnel again so they could play. Will absolutely use her again when we need a sitter. Thank you, Linsey!”
“Adam was great! He took excellent care of my cat, Rusty, while I was away and sent thoughtful updates and adorable pictures that really put me at ease. Rusty looked like he was having a great time — relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It was clear Adam made the effort to connect with him, which means a lot. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks for coming over to take care of our Mic while we were gone. Appreciate you feeding him and scooping his litter box. He was very happy to see us when we got back home.”
“Abbie was great! She watched my cat for a couple of days and took great care of her! She gave lots of updates/sent lots of pictures and was very communicative, would definitely recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, and caring for their everyday needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walking, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and kindness I give my own! I have a flexible schedule for pet care! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I have extra flexibility those days. I’m available anytime after 4 PM Tuesday through Thursday, but my work schedule is flexible, so I can also work from home on those days if an emergency or extra need comes up. I’m usually in town and available on weekends, too! I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need 🐾 I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. Starting November 1, my new condo will have walk-out access with a park right across the street, perfect for walks and outdoor time! In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping their space clean.
“Gabriella was great, followed my instructions on food, medication, and litter box! I was happy my kitty had a reliable companion while I was out of town.”
“Melina sent lots of pics and gave Mu good loves while we were away. I liked that she asked for vet info to be written down and a carrier left out in case of any emergencies.”
“Angelique was fantastic. Top notch communication. Respectful, mindful, and genuinely cared about giving our puppy the absolute best experience possible. It is refreshing to have someone be equally loving toward your animal as well. It gave us so much reassurance to know he was in such good hands! Will book again and again!”
About: I grew up around animals and have been drawn to them for as long as I remember. I am a natural care giver and have been around a plethora of different pets and personality types through out my life. I work from home and have flexibility through out my day to play with your dog. I would love the opportunity to spoil another fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard and a playful, sweet mini Bernedoodle to keep your animal company. I can accommodate different needs for your fur baby, just let me know!
“We adore Rachel and so does our cat! She goes above & beyond every time to make sure he gets in lots of snuggles & attention while we’re away. She’s truly the best and we absolutely love working with her.”
“Ella was communicative, reliable and responsive. And, most importantly, our cat loved her. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and recommend her. It’s so reassuring to know our cat is well loved while we’re gone.”

Darian is amazing! She looked after our two cats, fed and watered them. Our cats are usually shy around people but they both came out for Darian, it just shows she has a special way with animals. She went above and beyond and made an extra trip over to feed them when their auto feeder stopped working and was very communicative through the entire booking. We highly recommend her!
Caitlyn is highly recommended. When you meet her you will see she is a very caring and responsible person. Her calm demeanor helped my skittish cat gain trust quickly and Caitlyn’s communication was excellent. Thank you Caitlyn for helping me have a worry free weekend.
Megan was excellent. You can tell she loves cats. I don’t like leaving my babies but when I met her I knew she was a cat lover. I have never had anyone that I didn’t know take care of them before. I truly felt comfortable and all was well when we got home. I would highly recommend Megan.

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 .

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 , 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.
