“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!”
About: I am a PhD student at Stanford which means my schedule is quite flexible. Just let me know ahead of time what times work best for you and your cat and I’ll do my best to schedule my meetings and work periods around that. In general, Fridays-Sundays are most flexible for me. I am also available Mondays-Thursdays with longer notice. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any other special routines. I’ll keep their space tidy and comfortable and send you updates and photos while you’re away. Before I leave the cat unaccompanied I double check that all windows and doors are secured. I also like to clean whenever my hands are free. Finally, if I ever have any doubts about my care, I won’t hesitate to reach out to you to inquire.
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
“Danielle is the absolute best. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl Olive was taken care of and had lots of enrichment in between visits. She is detail oriented and didn’t mind my long list of tips/requests, which I know can be a lot. This was my first time being away from my girl so it meant the world to me to have full confidence that she was in the very best of hands. I would book Danielle again in a heartbeat.”
“This was our second time booking Ghazaal for in home cat sitting and I definitely felt a lot more at ease leaving our cat because we knew she was in excellent hands. We got regular updates, Ghazaal is so kind and easy to interact with. All instructions were followed and our house was like she was never here, except for a very happy cat! We have already booked Ghazaal again!”
“Sevlana took great care of our cat (and home) while we were away for one week. Our senior cat requires oral medication and Sevlana handled it smoothly. Sevlana kept in touch with photo and text updates and took care of the extras like mail, packages, garbage day, etc. We recommend Sevlana and will be in touch in the future. Thank you!”
“Sophia did an excellent job of caring for our two cats, one who is very mischievous and the other who is a bit finicky and also needs medications. She kept us up to date on their daily activities and sent photos too which we really appreciated. She also took great care of our garden. We feel very fortunate to have found her. We feel confident that she will take good care of our cats and our home too.”
About: Living in Stanford, my Jack Russell, Chuy, and I love taking full advantage of the local parks for daily runs and outdoor fun! At my home, your pup will enjoy complete freedom—whether that means diving into a giant basket of toys or curling up for a relaxing nap on the sofa or a plush dog bed. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets is second nature to me. I treat every guest like family, ensuring a safe, fun, and comfortable environment tailored to your dog’s unique personality. Feel free to reach out with any questions—Chuy and I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pup! I'm currently on a sabbatical and so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets, go on long walks or house sit. My current apartment has a fenced in yard with parks near by for long walks or runs. Pets are also allowed to to go on the couch for cuddles.
“I cannot recommend her enough! She is incredibly kind, responsible, and trustworthy. I felt completely at ease knowing Lemon was in such great hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our cat!”
“Urmica & Gino were super sweet and enthusiastic about watching Leo. They sent us updates and photos during our trip. We felt that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much for taking care of our furry baby :)”
About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)
“As alaways Stephanie was amazing! Since we were going to be gone for 2 weeks this time we had Stephanie stop by and walk through a few new things and when our kitty saw her he was so excited and ran right to her for some loving. we always know we dont have to worry when stephine is cat sitting for us. We highly recomend!”
About: I grew up around dogs and even fostered a few throughout my college years. I have the strength to walk any dog and am very active if they need lots of walking. I understand their personalities and always lead with love🐶 I’m currently working part time and am always open to working around your schedule. Weekends during the day are always busier for me but I’m flexible and will put your pet first. Pets at my home have the apartment to run free, although I do not have outdoor space those who require it will get more than enough outdoor time. I spend most of my time outdoors and they are always welcome to join.
“Julia was great! She went above and beyond for our cats. She went above the call of duty and really made sure our cats were well cared for. We very much appreciated all that she did for us and our little ones. We would definitely hire her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
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!
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!
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!
Kevin did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. He was friendly and easy to communicate with. During our meet, he asked thoughtful questions about my cat’s routine and even small details like litter disposal, which really showed his experience and attention to detail. During each visit, he not only handled all the basics but also spent time playing with my cat, which I really appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kevin again. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
