“As always Jenny is a rockstar looking after my kitties while I'm away! They really enjoy her company and it puts me at ease to know they're well taken care of and get all the pets!”
“Karina is truly the ultimate cat lover. She sent pics and videos of the love of my life while I was out of town. She’s kept me up to date and I know she loved on my Gavriel as much as I would if I were at home. Made me feel at peace knowing he was cared for in such a great way!”
“Leora took such good care of my cat. He was on the mend from illness when I had to go on a work trip. My mind was at ease knowing he was in Leora’s hands. She went above and beyond.”
“Brianna was amazing with my two cats!!! I love the notes and pictures she sends after each check-in. I felt better during my travels knowing my cats were being checked on by someone who truly cares. 🐈⬛🐈⬛😸”
“Thank you so much for giving me an amazing experience and easy first time booking a sitter for my two babies on Rover! Great communication and surprisingly my shy boy Ramsay I saw loved greeting you and purring ☺️”
“Abigail is a great cat sitter. She made a point of visiting our apartment before she started looking after Dash, which put us at ease. She kept us updated on him with photos and observations. She even offered to stop by outside the scheduled time to refill his water. I recommend her!”
“Natalia did an awesome job looking after Shweta yet again! She's very professional and very attentive to all of Shweta's needs. I'm very impressed and highly recommend her services!”
“Our cat is usually very very shy and would never show herself to people other than family, but Kati was able to befriend her during her short stay, which was a relieve for us. She made sure our cat had some nice company while we were away and we would definitely ask Kati to take care of our cat again on a different trip.”
“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”
“Katerina did a wonderful job with our cat. She showed up when expected, managed his medications, food water and litter pan. She also kept in touch and posted pics/videos. The house was locked up and the alarm was set when she left. I will be scheduling her again.”
“Sara did a great job looking after my cat for a week. He is not always keen on new people but has warmed up quickly to Sara. He has his own room which made for a comfortable stay. I provided some tunnels, boxes and toys to give him a touch of home. Thank you for making my absence easier with the many pics of him.”
“Aury was wonderful, beyond my expectations! She was responsible, trustworthy, and sent pictures every day! My cat warmed up to her, immediately! I would highly recommend Aury for your pet are needs!”
“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She made sure to follow through instructions and clarify some additional questions during my stay away as well. This helped me feel reassured.”
“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were on vacation! They were clearly well-cared for (barely cared when we came back 😁), and Claudia even made sure to clean up after them even though she really didn't have to. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who's anxious about leaving their temperamental cats alone!”

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Brianna! She is so kind, organized, communicative, and provides amazing, pet-centered care. We received lots of photos and detailed reports about our cat each day, which helped ease any worries we had about him while we were away. I highly recommend Brianna for your pet care needs!
Jenny was wonderful! She took such great care of my two kitties while I was away, and when I came home, they both looked happy and well cared for. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel very comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I really appreciate everything she did and would definitely book her again. Highly recommend! ❤️
Paige went above and beyond. She cared for our cats with such attention, stayed flexible when plans shifted, and looked after the house as if it were her own. She even helped us with a few issues and small chores along the way. We’re grateful for her care and support.

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.

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 .

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 .
