“Jordan was outstanding. 10/10 would book with her again. She treated our cat Juniper like her own and was so thoughtful about sharing updates and taking pictures. Little Junebug was happy as a clam when we got back from our trip, her coat was shiny, and her eyes clear. And that is saying a lot since other times we have left her with cat sitters we've returned to find her scrawny and overgroomed from stress. Thank you, Jordan!!!”
“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.”
About: Hey, I’m Max! I’m graduate student from SJSU and now working online. I have been living in the US for 5 years. I used to have a dog - white chihuahua and scottish fold cat for 10 years since 13. But right now they are in my home country and I miss them a lot. I’m responsible and responsive person. When you need me feel free always contacting me or calling to make sure that everything is ok with your lovely pet. I am able at any day to help you with your pet as I’m working online and preparing for my Masters degree. Always feel free to contact me about any questions and have a good day!😃 I’m available from 9 am to 10 pm every day. Also feel free to ask about specific schedule! Call me at any available for you time ! I love pets and understand the responsibility. I am ready to give the contacts of my host and friend if needed. I’m always available for the phone/video call if needed to make sure you feel calm and peaceful for your pet! Also ready to provide any documents if needed!
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and have always had a special connection with them. For the past couple of years I've raised my own baby, Gimli, who's the sweetest (and fittest 😂) corgi in the world. Dogs need routine, exercise, and attention, and I take those seriously. I'll follow your feeding and walking instructions exactly, keep your pup safe on leash, and send photo updates on every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work from home, so I can usually fit in flexible midday walks and drop-ins, even on short notice. If interested, I am also happy to socialize your dog with Gimli as he loves to play and make new friends, but if you or your dog prefer one-on-one care that’s no problem either! I'd love to set up a free meet and greet so your dog can get comfortable with me first. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your wonderful pup(s)! I work from home on an early schedule that usually wraps up by early afternoon, so weekday afternoons and evenings are wide open, and I can often fit in a quick midday visit during breaks. Weekends are generally flexible too. Because I'm home most of the day, I can usually accommodate last-minute requests, and I'm always happy to set up recurring walks or visits that fit your pet's routine. All my care happens in your home or on walks around your neighborhood, so your pet stays in familiar surroundings. I treat your home with respect: I only go where your pet needs me, keep your keys secure, and always double-check doors, gates, and windows before I leave. On walks, I check that collars and harnesses are snug, keep dogs leashed at all times, and bring water and bags. At our meet and greet, I'll get your vet info, emergency contacts, and any quirks or triggers to watch for. Gimli only joins dog walks with your permission and after a proper introduction.
“Ghazaal went above and beyond to make sure our hairy baby was happy and well taken care of. This is the second time we hired Ghazaal. We were so happy that she was available because our cat loves her and we loved all the beautiful photos she sent of our baby :) I have no doubt that for our next trip we will contact her again to take care of our 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.”
“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!”
“Lisa & Raymond took wonderful care of my Kitty while I was away. They shared great photos and updates each day and the entire process went smoothly. Thank you so much y’all! Hope to see you again soon!”
“Elena did a terrific job of caring for our newly adopted outdoor cat. She took notes on his schedule and took the time to check his food and water twice a day. The texted pictures were reassuring. We will book her again for future trips.”
“Kiana was very communicative and made sure that our pets were properly taken care of. She updated us with pictures and let us know how the pets were doing. Would book with her again!”
“She's an animal lover! Found the best parts in my fiesty 9 month old cat's personality and brought him out of a funk. Cat whisperer and caregiver for sure! Looking forward to future bookings.”
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.
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!”
“Look no further than Danielle for the best cat sitter in the Bay! She always delivers top notch care to our cats. Ollie is a little anxious and has never come out for a sitter until we found Danielle. She must have the magic touch because both our cats come out and play with her while we are away. Danielle is our go to from now on. A total rock star for peace of mind.”
“Sophia took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She sent us updates on how they were doing, and sent photos too. They warmed up to her right away and seemed very content when we returned from our long weekend.”
“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.”

Xiao was once again great with our senior cat Carl during our weekend vacation. She was extremely communicative and consistently documented all steps of Carl’s (fairly complex) care through messages and photos for each visit, allowing us to enjoy our travel without concerns about what was happening at home. Thanks Xiao!
Miriam is great. She drops in on our two cats when we go on vacation. We’ve had a couple changes in routine the past two times we’ve booked her, but she has great attention to detail and doesn’t miss anything. We have two scaredy cats, and one cat warmed up to her very fast.
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!
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!

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. 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.

- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 86% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 cancellation policy, 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.
