“Ciara sent me a note with each visit, along with the requested photos. Did an extra favor for me and Stevie seemed to have fun! Definitely can recommend her.”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”
“Jen was great! First time using Rover and we had a great experience! Jen was communicative and sent all the cute pictures - I felt comforted knowing Dot was in good hands.”
“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
“Carol was super trustworthy and she handled my indoor/ outdoor cat great! She was a good communicator and everything turned out perfectly. Highly recommend. Thank you, Carol!”
“Eleanor provided helpful updates and adorable pictures throughout her visits. She made me feel comfortable leaving my pets home while I was away!”
“Jacqueline is so awesome. She’s so easy to talk to and so accommodating. I ended up extending our booking and she had no problem with it. She sent me lots of pictures of Monty and kept me up to date on how he was doing. She is a true pet lover! I will 100% book with her again :)”
About: I've had animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities and needs. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, and I also volunteer at an animal shelter so I'm very comfortable with shy pets, seniors, high-energy dogs and everything in between. What sets me apart is my calm, loving, devoted one-on-one approach I bring every service. Whether I'm boarding your dog, stopping in for a potty break or pet sesh, hosting daycare or taking your pup for a walk, your pet gets patience, gentleness, clear communication and genuine love. I'm silly with the dogs, respectful of the cats, recognize boundaries and am always attuned to each animal's comfort level. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I'm available for pet care throughout the week. I'm home most of the day which means plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks and a calm and consistent routine for your pet. I offer walks and drop-ins throughout the week and boarding and daycare on weekends. I love building my schedule around each pet to make sure they feel safe and cared for. My home is calm, clean and pet-friendly, with two gentle resident dogs who are great with visitors. I'm experienced with slow introductions and always prioritize safety, comfort and respecting each pet's boundaries. I can crate your dog if needed, keep close supervision during yard time and follow any routines or rules your pet is used to. In your home I maintain the same level of care - keeping things predictable, secure and tailored to your pet's needs.
“Liz was great watching our puppy!! This is our second time booking her. She took him on walks and sent so many pictures. She’s the only one that gives us true peace of mind when out of town. We will 100% book again, thank you liz!!!”
“Athena looked after our cat and house for 2 weeks and we were so grateful to have her for such an extensive time. She is a wonderful communicator, followed all directions and took great care of our home and cat. She also went above and beyond by watering plants and preparing our house for our return! Would book her again in a heartbeat ☺️”
“Missy was very communicative and caring to my cat. It was first time using a sitter for him. I was a bit nervous as we had just moved and worried my cat would not do well. Would definitely rebook with Missy!”
About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.
About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.

Elsie did the most wonderful job watching our cats while we were on vacation! She went above and beyond in taking care of them and keeping them entertained. I loved seeing the pictures she would send after each visit. It was such a comfort to know they were in great hands while we were away! We would absolutely book her again.
Jacqueline did an absolutely stellar job -- I got TONS of pictures of my kitties to help me feel secure while I was on vacation, and she did an amazing job both with the routine feeding/cleaning care as well as pets/play :) great communication, and was even able to be flexible and handle an extra day when my flight got cancelled. Highly recommend for all future pet care needs!
Maggie always treats our fur babies like family, and keeps us updated with daily reports and pictures. This provides peace of mind when we travel. She is a caring sitter and we use her every time we go out of town, knowing she will take care of our girls like a member of the family.
Ryan was so helpful with our dog and two cats. Our regular pet sitter had to cancel last minute and Ryan really stepped up and helped us out so much. He even gave our cat medicine so he could feel his best while we’re gone. We will definitely be rebooking with Ryan sometime soon!
Highly recommend Chris! He was a last-minute lifesaver to my two kittens. After our initial meeting I felt very confident and safe leaving him to check-in on them. And as expected, he did nothing but provide the exact care and regular correspondence I had hoped for. Thanks Chris!

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.
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.
