“Eliza was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad we found her. Our kitty is an older boy who is very skittish around new people. He warmed up to Eliza faster than he has with anyone before! She constantly played with him and brushed him while at our place, and I think he was sad when his playdates were over. Would absolutely recommend and book her again.”
“Ami and James were lifesavers and did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. We really appreciated all their help and communication while we were gone, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some pet care.”
“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”
“Bhali was so helpful and caring with our two dogs. They were well taken care of and very happy to go on walks with her. She catered to their needs and we appreciated the punctual check-ins with detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much Bhali!”
“From the time Linda did the meet and greet to the actual visits, all 3 of our pugs sucked right up to her as they could tell she truly is an animal lover. She did a great job with them and we couldn't be more pleased with the job she did. We would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her again! Thank You Linda!”

About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either.

Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them
“We feel so fortunate that Bethany cared for our cat and our plants! She immediately earned our trust and kept in touch with just the right amount of communication, making us feel reassured and connected while we were away. We came home to a happy cat and plants that looked even better than when we left. We hope to have Bethany visit again in the future!”

For house sitting I don’t stay the entire day or overnight since I have my own dogs, but I am willing to take on extra tasks like water plants or whatever is needed :) I work a fully remote job with a flexible schedule. I’m able to stop by for a quick walk/feed during work hours, and spend more time outside of 10-6. I am happy to go on runs or long walks with pets and stop by 3-4 times a day for house sitting. I want to make sure they’re still getting lots of love while their people are away.

“Seana was our first rover sitter and made the entire trip seamless and peaceful. Her communication was prompt, professional and left us feeling secure that we left our pets in the best hands possible. From the first message about potential meet and greets to the daily check-in’s she was wonderful. We will be using her again when we need a sitter as she was extremely trustworthy and kind to our boys!”

About: I've been taken care of dogs since I was 10. Love every moment of it. They are all so good to me and I just want the best for them! I work full-time during the day so pet sitting in the evening and during the night time would fit perfectly into my schedule without any compromise. I am primarily a sitter of pets in my client's home so I will be caring for them whichever way possible. I am flexible with indoor and outdoor activities.

Eliza and Evelyn did an awesome job taking care of our kitties while we were away! 😻 Aside from the normal tasks, they also spent time playing with them and giving them so much love, which was exactly what our cats needed :) Will definitely ask them to watch our cats again! 🥰
Kelly is great! She was super communicative the whole time, which made us feel really at ease, and she did an excellent job taking care of our cat, which included pilling him. Kelly really knows what she’s doing, and we absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
I’m glad I was able to book Nicholas again! He was very observant and gave detailed reports about my cat, and made sure to go find him when he didn’t come downstairs to say hi. My cat can be a little shy at first but he warmed up to Nicholas right away! Will definitely rebook next time I’m traveling.

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.
