“Jordan was super communicative and very friendly to coordinate with. She took care of Bella well, and shared photos while I was away. She is a sweet reliable person sitter and I would recommend to book with her. Thanks Jordan!”
“Michael was amazing. He understood every ask I gave of him, even those that were conditional on what he saw at our house. He made sure to give my cat the full time, and never let her out of his sight while he was with her. I would happily book him again to take care of my cat”
“Xiaomeng took care of my cat Gustavo for a weekend and did a wonderful job. She made sure Gustavo's food and water bowls were clean and filled, handled the litter box, and played with her. She also sent lots of photos so I knew Gustavo was having a good time. She even went the extra mile and emptied the litter box trash on the last day. I would definitely book with Xiaomeng again.”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. We just moved and Stephanie made sure to take extra care of our one cat who likes to hide! She was terrific!”
“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.”
“I was completely at ease during my crazy busy schedule knowing Kelun would take great care of my kitten. Kelun sent me detailed updates every time along with a ton of cute photos with my playful kitten in motion lol. My cat certainly has grown bigger and stronger thanks to Kelun’s care.”
About: Hi, My name is Alex, it's nice to meet you. I have loved dogs my whole life. I enjoy taking care of them and the care they give back in return. Walking your dog will be as rewarding to them as it will be to me. I am a 33 year old male currently living in Mountain View. I am here to walk dogs and to do my best to care for them when I am on the job. Although I've attended a few dog training classes. Most my experience comes from being with dogs and research I've done along the way. I've been walking dogs for years now. I'll do my best to be observant, safe, and professional. My schedule is fairly open so I have the ability to be flexible with my customers.
About: Preferred name: Fifi Grew up with small and large dogs like Spitz and Golden Retriever. Currently live with cats🐱 Always pet sitting for friends over holidays in the past 12 years including domestic cats, ragdoll, poodles and doodles, Bernese mountain, Maltese, Cotons, Cavapoo, Bichon… Flexible in time and locations. For boarding: I can pickup and drop-off your pets if you are occupied with other things or simply don’t wanna drive :) For house-sitting: Happy to walk your pets around neighborhoods, nearby parks, and trails or beaches (during weekends). My work schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I also enjoy driving and don’t mind traveling a bit for pet sitting or drop-in visits. I’m usually available on weekends as well, so I can be flexible with different schedules and care needs. I always follow the owner’s house rules and care instructions, and try my best to keep each pet’s normal routine while their family is away. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to their needs—whether that means extra walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them some space. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care. 🐾
“We have hired many sitters from Rover over the years but Allison was absolutely the best! Wow! Our cat loved her so much, she sent fun photos every day, and kept us updated on how things were going at home. Highly recommend!!”
“Cordigen D always is super flexible and is able to come at specific times to make sure my cat is in the house. She’s kind and my cat clearly loves her. I always get her when I travel. She’s the best.”
“Candy is amazing! She read all of my instructions and followed them perfectly, sent tons of cute photos, and even went out of her way to find my cat when she was hiding under the bed. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend Jiwon for your pet needs. We had an amazing experience. She followed every instruction perfectly and kept us updated throughout our trip, which made it so much easier to relax and not worry about our cats. She was very professional, reliable, and clearly cared about their well-being. We came home to calm, happy cats and a spotless space (she even picked up when our cat did oopsies outside the litterbox😭). Highly recommend!”
“Mariana did a wonderful job watching my cat while I was away. Her descriptions of how my cat was doing were spectacular. I felt very comfortable with her watching after the cat.”
“Although this is a last min book, Meerim did an amazing job! She was very responsive and took good care of Judy while I was away for 5 days. She also communicated things well during the meet and greet to make sure she understood Judy’s needs. I will definitely reach out to Meerim again for any future bookings.”
“Jeannette was great. Kept me informed when she got Jake in at night. She even came early the day I departed and stayed late the day I was returning to let Jake out and get Jake in. Everything was perfect when I came home.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos
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!
Xiao was fantastic! She is extremely responsible, reliable, and followed every single instruction I left for my cat down to the detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in such attentive hands. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Xiaomeng took care of my cat Gustavo for a weekend and did a wonderful job. She made sure Gustavo's food and water bowls were clean and filled, handled the litter box, and played with her. She also sent lots of photos so I knew Gustavo was having a good time. She even went the extra mile and emptied the litter box trash on the last day. I would definitely book with Xiaomeng 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!
Andriana is incredibly intentional, organized, kind, and a great communicator. She kept us updated and gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in caring hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to the Rover community!

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.

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.
