“Ke was a a great and reliable cat sitter. Our cat is very shy with strangers and Ke made great efforts to find her in hiding and make sure she was alright and fed. Ke is very communicative as well, which eases my anxiety when leaving my cat when I’m away from home.”

“Wei took such great care of our cat Monty while we were away. She went above and beyond, even spending extra time with him to make him clam and comfortable. Everything was clean and well cared for - Monty seemed happy and relaxed when we got back. We’d love to have her care for him again!”

I provide a highly structured and attentive environment where a pet’s routine is the priority. Will follow your pets routine precisely; maintaining strict feeding, exercise, and medication schedules.
“Alondra provided excellent updates while cat sitting for us. Not only was she very communicative, she also left the house better than she found it. Would 100% recommend her for cat sitting and hope to work with her again!”
“Gulnaz and Zor were amazing with snowball. They took wonderful care of snowball and Gulnaz sent regular updates with videos. She was living and accommodating. Snowball looked very relaxed and chill when I picked him up. I will rebook her happily.”
“I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.”
About: In January, I said goodbye to my sweet girl after 13 wonderful years together. I miss her every day, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog of my own, I have so much love and attention to share. I’d love to take your dog on walks, keep them company, and give them plenty of affection while you’re away. Having loved a dog for so many years, I understand how much they mean to you, and I’d care for yours with the kindness and attention I’d want for my own. I work full-time, but most of my evenings and weekends are free. I really miss taking dogs on walks and enjoying the company of both dogs and cats, so I’d love to spend some of that time giving your pets extra care and attention. While I’m not available for overnight care, I can pick up your dog from home for a walk and bring them back afterward—perfect for evenings when you’re working late or have a busy schedule. I can also stop by to keep your cats company and give them some extra love and attention while you’re away.
“Conner was awesome- we needed someone to watch our elderly cat and bunny rabbit and Conner was an awesome choice! He was a clear communicator and we felt that our animals were very well taken care of! Thanks Conner!!’”
“Jessica was great with my cat Purrsimmon who is a bit needy and vocal. She kept Purrsimmon in a separate room and introduced her to rest of the home and cats slowly. That really helped Purrsimmon get familiar with the new environment.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos
Xiaomeng was amazing!! She is extremely communicative, thorough, and follows care instructions well. She was very quick to respond and very caring. I would definitely book her again and you can really tell she loves cats. She has been my first booking on Rover and made me feel at ease when I was out of town. I highly recommend her!
Ran took care of my cat Boatie for a week while I was away, and she was wonderful! She followed all my instructions and spent 30 minutes each day feeding Boatie, changing her water, cleaning the litter box, and playing with her. Ran has lots of experience caring for animals, and it really shows. She sent me many sweet photos and videos every day. I also loved reading her daily notes. They were always so sweet and fun to read! Boatie quickly became friends with Ran, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Ran!
Kenzie was amazing with our cat and very attentive throughout our trip. She always took the time to look for her, check on her, and make sure she was doing well. When our cat unexpectedly got sick, Kenzie was incredibly accommodating and offered to check on her even on days she wasn’t originally scheduled to come by. She also let us know she was willing to take her to the vet if needed, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how caring, reliable, and communicative she was, and we would absolutely book her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Xiao! She's very responsible. Before her visit, she set up a video call with us to understand our needs. During the visit, she sent us several photos of our cats while she played with them, and she patiently helped us set up our automatic litter box. She even went above and beyond by watering our plants! We'll definitely book her again next time.
I found Barbara to be attuned to my Ragdoll cats needs. She was gentle with them understanding their shyness in accepting her. She was excellent in keeping me informed about their care through texting and photos. I appreciated all the time she spent with them. I would definitely ask her again!
Jiwon is amazing! She took great care of our cat and sent lots of cute photos. She spent extra time playing with our cat and making sure she was getting some love while we were gone. She also completely handled a minor emergency (we got an ant infestation after leaving for vacation, and Jiwon got rid of it). Overall you should definitely book her for your pet sitting needs!
Michael was amazing taking care of our cat Daisy! Very easy to work with and clear communication. Went above and beyond with care, diligently checking her auto feeder despite me never asking and generally being very proactive when he would stop by. Have booked him multiple times at this point and will definitely be booking him again in the future!

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.
