“Holly is a ray of sunshine and my cat who is very skittish came right up to her and befriended her. She was very accomodating to come the day before on short notice to show her the ropes and how to get into a difficult to find apartment. Meeting her and speaking with her, truly made my day and turned around a very challenging week. Definitely will be booking her again.”
“Marissa is amazing! She went above and beyond for drop in visits, and she is soooo sweet and nice with our shy cats, kept us posted for all situations, it made our trip so much better since we were not worried about the cats! Thank you Marissa!!”
“Alyssa watched our cat for two weeks while we traveled internationally. She has watched our cat in the past and we’ve rebooked her for a third time. Consistent communication and photos, as always. I am never worried about the cat when I have Alyssa to watch her!”
“Madison was great with our dog and cat! Our dog is very timid with new people, but Madison was patient and seems very experienced with shy pets. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Kirstin was a great sitter for my two (slightly neurotic) cats! She was consistent with her timing and followed the care instructions well. She let me know if she saw any unusual behavior from my cats or things around the house that may need my attention when I got home. She also made sure to spend time and play with them. I was away for almost 2.5 weeks so it made me much more relaxed knowing a knowledgeable and caring sitter was looking after my boys! Thanks Kirstin!”
“Courtney was able to drop-in on my kitties on short notice. She stopped by in advance to meet them and learn their routine. She sent me daily updates and pics, and my home was in good order when I returned. Highly recommend!”
“Adisa is so amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our little kitty for a week. She sent us the best photos and videos too! Coming home to a happy kitty was the best. We couldn’t be more grateful for Adisa!”
“Camryn, thanks for taking such great care of our saltwater fishes and shrimp, along with our plants! You did a great job keeping in touch, sending pictures, and letting us know about one of the aquarium pumps acting up! Our pets and plants were in good hands under your care. ?”
“Destiny is a fantastic and reliable sitter! She took care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. She sent as many pictures / videos as we wanted and stayed the night with the cats at our request. We will definitely be using Destiny in the future!”
“Very attentive and great at what she does. Ellen is truly passionate about taking care of animals and even came a half hour early to check on our doggo! Very sweet and amazing gal and would recommend to anyone needing care.”
“Ashley was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute checkin for my dog, Nala, which I really appreciated. She was responsive, reliable, and made the whole process so easy. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be using her again!”
“Abigail was an amazing sitter for my two cats! In addition to the routine checking food, water, litter, etc., they cleaned up a giftwrapping mess and saved my automatic vacuum from another mess caused by my ornery cats lol. Abigail is very responsive and took the time to get to know my cats and allowed them to feel comfortable while I was away. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I grew up in houses with dogs and have plenty of experience dog sitting as well as spending some time working at a doggy daycare. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. I am currently working full time but have two days off of being completely free. Once school starts in the fall I will have three days to be able to stop by and care for your pet. I have experience with doing this while maintaining a full time job. I will let your pet come to me to get familiar and make sure they have the attention and time they need. I can handle multiple different food needs and keep track of each need. I will always take interaction at your pets pace to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible.
“Hannah took great care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She made sure he was fed, brushed and played with. We came back to a happy, well cared for kitty!”
“Victoria did a great job taking care of my cat when I was away. She was flexible when my flight got canceled and added a visit that was not expected. She kept me updated with sweet pictures and was very communicative! I would book with Victoria again :)”
About: I’m Lucas. I’ve been a primary caretaker for my families dogs and cats in the past when I was in my teens as well as dog sitting friends and neighbors dogs throughout highschool and college. I love all kinds of dogs and owned a chocolate lab for 11 years from a puppy so I know and understand a dogs needs. I recently quit my job so I have plenty of time besides my own growth and routine. Just need to schedule ahead of time if possible. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life including puppies and kittens. I keep a watchful eye and give lots of love. Any instructions or guidelines by the owner will be followed as well.
“Lis was a great sitter for our four cats. They accommodated our schedule needs and was prompt in all communication. Lis fed our cats their wet food, scooped their litter boxes, made sure to play with them, and followed all our instructions for their care. We were excited to get photos that were sent, both days! We'd definitely have Lis take care of our cats again and recommend to any other cat parents! Thanks Lis!”

Megan was great with my two cats. She sent detailed overviews of each visit, sent great (and funny) photos and made me feel safe leaving me kitten and senior cat that are still adapting to each other, in her care. I will definitely book her again to watch the kitties!
Miguel did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat, Anakin! I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was so great with Anakin, and when I got home, Anakin looked peaceful, relaxed, and happy, which gave me so much peace of mind. The house was also spotless and everything was just as I had left it. It was clear that Miguel took great care of both Anakin and our home. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. I would happily book him again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where do I even begin! Crystal was absolutely phenomenal with our fur babies. From the moment we left, we never once felt worried or anxious about how they were doing. That kind of peace of mind is truly priceless when you are away from your pets. Crystal went above and beyond in every way. She took our dog on multiple long walks, keeping them active, happy and well exercised. It was so clear through her updates and interactions that she genuinely cared for our animals, not just as a job, but as if they were her own. We could not recommend Crystal more highly. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets with love, dedication and exceptional care, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Excellent attention to my cats' needs, regular updates with details and photos, and followed instructions perfectly. One of my cats is very shy and hides from strangers, but immediately trusted Kathy and doesn't hide from her at all. Can't ask for a better cat sitter!
First time booking Aubrey, and she delivered exactly as promised! She was friendly at our first meet-up, asked all the right questions, and followed through on every detail. The kitties were happy and relaxed when I returned, and the place was spotless—she even cleaned up a little throw-up! Thank you, Aubrey. Will definitely book 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 .
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 .

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.
