“Allison was so great with our cat, Izzy! She went above and beyond, we loved the detailed updates and photos. It was so comforting to know Izzy was in such good hands while we were away. Thanks Allison!!! Izzy will be excited to see you again 😺”
“Nathan is awesome and a pet sitter that goes above and beyond! He took great care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. He was super attentive, sent really great photos and notes each visit, took inside a package we weren't expecting, and even did some extra laundry for us after one of our elderly dogs had an accident. We really felt so comfortable knowing someone was taking such high quality care of our animals while also having an eye on house. Highly recommend!”
“Emma was great to work with and cared for our cat as if she was her own while we were away for a few days. She was super flexible when we asked to change one of the drop-in times, so it was nice to know that my cat was able to stick to a good meal schedule. Will gladly have Emma cat-sit for us again!”
“Katy is the best! Like clockwork, we received a detailed update on each cat ensuring not only that they were fed, but details on their general well-being. Her pictures were the best pictures I've gotten of Nellie and Brett in 6 years. So grateful for Katy's all around reliability, communication, and fantastic personality!”
“Bryn has been amazing with our dog Robbie, doing regular drop-in visits during the day. She is very responsive and organized, and puts us at ease that he is in great hands. Don't hesitate to book!”
“Rebecca is fantastic! My dogs can be a little overwhelming and she was so patient with them. They love her! I get the cutest pictures when she visits them! I highly recommend Rebecca!”
About: My green flag is, pets love to be around me. I've been taking care of my friend's pets for two years and they love me. I am currently open to work with your schedule. I am free 5 days of the week. Preferably after noon, but I am very flexible I work through pet owner's needs. I try to understand pet's personality. I allow pets to be themselves around me. Safety and care comes first.
“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but Chanel was great with communication. She did everything we asked and it seemed like she & Luffy had a great time. Would book again!”
About: I am a Certified Dog Trainer (Catch Canine Trainers Academy), and I have a first aid for pets certification. If you want to entrust your dog to a compassionate professional, I'm your guy. I am a dog trainer, and pet parent, and I have some extra availability for dog walking. If you live near me I can fit you into my schedule. As a dog trainer, I am very experienced in pet care. I train dogs in all my interactions with them, out of habit, but also because I wan't them to have happy lives.
“Kathryn took wonderful care of my cat. Kathryn was super commutative and thorough. I loved her updates and felt so at ease knowing my kitty was getting lots of pets and playtime. I would book with Kathryn again.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth. I grew up taking care of my dogs throughout my childhood, and helping my neighbors with their cats and farm animals whenever they were away. When I graduated college, I began fostering cats and fell in love with caring for the special needs cats who just needed a little love and time to open up and become the best versions of themselves. I am comfortable with all animals of all sizes, behaviors, and species and would love the chance to get to know your pet! I’m a full time law student at Northeastern school of law so I have a flexible schedule that varies every day. During the summer I am working an internship that is remote, which also gives me time during the day to check in on your pets! I will not be caring for animals in my own home, but I am happy to do whatever will make your pet happy in your home! I can crate if necessary, and also love taking pets for runs if they’re up for it!
About: I’ve pet sat for a lot of my neighbors in high school. I have fed and walked dogs, fed and hung out with cats and even fed chickens! I have 3 cats and love dogs and going on long sunny walks :). Willing to learn about any animals! I work at a therapeutic middle school so my afternoons after 3 and weekends are free, and I’m free after 2 in the summer. I can travel to your house and stay with your pet and keep them company. If you need me to stay there/house sit, we can talk about that as well.
“Cathy did a great job taking care of our boy! She came in person before the visit to meet Ollie, pick up keys, and see how to take care of everything, even when I offered a virtual introduction to save her the commute. Meeting her in person was great—she’s so fun and clearly loves cats. We came back to a happy and healthy cat and a cute card with our returned keys.”
“Really great at communicating and very flexible! She took amazing care of my kitty and sent me a lot of photos while she was there. Would definitely book her again!”
“Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Lisa is nothing short of amazing. This was our first time using Rover and Lisa exceeded our expectations. The communication was impeccable and we all enjoyed seeing pics and videos of Spike and never had to worry while we were on vacation. Would 1000000% recommend her to watch your pet.
Emma was amazing! She took such great care of my cat and made me feel so much better about being away. She sent daily updates and photos, was always quick to respond, and it was so obvious my cat loved her (every picture was of them cuddling on the couch together). I've already booked Emma again for my next trip and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!
Haowen provided exceptional care for our cats. He was responsible, thorough, and completely worry-free, ensuring our pets were in great hands. His flexibility and willingness to accommodate ad hoc requests were greatly appreciated. Furthermore, he documented the visits with many wonderful, high-quality photos. Highly recommended for anyone needing a reliable sitter.
Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.
This was our first time booking a petsitting request with Natalie, and she did an excellent job taking care of our cat! She provided great photos that showed how she performed all the care tasks we asked her to do. Our cat, who is normally skittish around strangers, took a liking to her! We recommend Natalie :)
Lily did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties during our two week trip! We loved all the cute photos and detailed updates. We could tell she really got to know their personalities. Lily is very reliable and a great communicator; we would definitely book with her again. Thank you!
Emma was great to work with and cared for our cat as if she was her own while we were away for a few days. She was super flexible when we asked to change one of the drop-in times, so it was nice to know that my cat was able to stick to a good meal schedule. Will gladly have Emma cat-sit for us again!
I am so grateful that Elise could still come look after my cats even after I have moved to a new place. She really goes above and beyond to ensure my cats have everything they need while I’m gone! Not to mention she always sends the cutest cat photos and detailed reports after the visit:) The best cat sitter out there!
Valerie took great care of our 6 kitties while we were away. It was a tall ask with lots of instructions. She handled it like a pro and was able to administer meds twice a day to our oldest, most skiddish boy. I felt confident that the kitties were in good hands.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
