“Jynna was incredible with our two cats! She followed all our instructions to the tee, made us laugh with the multitude of photos she sent while we were away, and most importantly gave us the peace of mind that our cats were in good hands while we were gone. Thank you Jynna!”
“Emily was super easy going and we are very grateful for her help while we were gone! We 100% trust her with our pets and will use her going forward. So glad we found her!”

“Ashley did a fantastic job watching our two dogs! I felt very at ease having her over at our home. I trusted she would take care of them and be attentive to them while we were out town for a long weekend. I would definitely have her back to watch them again!”
“Emily did great with my cat Connie. She was very responsive when I was out of town and had an emergency situation with Connie’s feeder. She rushed right over and problem solved quickly! 😁”
“Brian came in to take care of our two cats. Great job. Cats were clean and in good shape when we returned home. We feel very confident that our pets and our house are in good hands when Brian is taking care of them. Thanks Brian!”
“Chantel did a great job and I am so glad she took care of my dog while I was away. Communication from start to finish was really good. I highly recommend Chantel!! Thanks for everything!”
“Jessica spent quality time loving on my dogs and quickly picked up on their individual personalities. She was flexible, punctual and highly responsive. I would recommend her to all my friends and absolutely book with Jessica again.”
“Katherine was the best with our cats. She was there every day taking care of them and making sure they got everything they needed. She is definitely coming back every time we need her.”
“Sharon has done so amazing with my Cleo, who isn’t very trustworthy of strangers. She easily won over her trust & updated with photos at each drop-in, and made sure she knew everything she needed to know to care for my fur baby. 10/10 recommend!”
“Sam was wonderful coming over and sitting with Barney. It was his first time away from his humans and fur family. In addition to us just moving to a new home, Barney is kinda skittish anyway, but Sam was great! She checked on him multiple times a day, kept him well fed, fresh water and a clean litter box. We are certainly glad we met her and will happily use her again for future needs!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!
“I had a wonderful experience having Riley watch my 2 dogs and cat. She really went above and beyond making sure they were comfortable and had plenty of playtime. Communication was also great and she took lots of awesome pictures of them having fun. Would absolutely book with Riley 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 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 .

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.
