“What a wonderful experience! Kristin Lynn always takes such good care of my cat and sends great photos. She’s communicative and super punctual, and I know my cat is safe with her. He even gets on her lap which is something that usually takes a while for him! Would recommend without hesitation.”
“Valerie was great sent pictures even when the cat wasn't around to take a picture of. I appreciate the care while we were gone. First time we had left him so I feel so much better. And by the way he did show up at 3:00 Upon Our return”
“What a beautiful soul! I am so grateful at how well she took care of my little family. They normally get really mad when I leave on trips but Gislene took such care of them that they didn't even care I was gone Thank you for being so sweet, attentive and respectful of my home and my kitties.”
“Leah was attentive and thoughtful. She responded to messages quickly, and she dropped in on my 3 cats around mealtime to ensure their auto feeders dispensed kibble. She also brought in my packages from the porch and reset my litter robot when it fell off the wifi. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“At the prospect of leaving our 3 fur babies, I was anxious to say the least. Upon meeting Jen, a genuine loving soul, my worries diminished to a dramatic degree. The 8 days we were away she kept in constant contact with us, sending photos and updates regarding her visits. I consider ourselves so lucky to have met her in this loud chaos that is this world. Would not hesitate to leave our babies with her in the future.”

“Shelby was great with our fur babies, she is an excellent pet/house sitter. We were gone for 5 days and she texted & sent pictures am/pm. We had great peace of mind knowing that Mia and O'lover were in good hands. In fact, when we arrived home my kids looked a little disappointed it was us and not Shelby...lol. Thanks Shelby for loving up our kiddos.”

Kristin was amazing, reliable, friendly. I was very comfortable with leaving them with her. She even went to the store for fresh veggies for our rabbit. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies. Will definitely book with her again for our next trip!!
Valerie did a great job caring for our cat and senior dog. Our pup has several meds and prescription food to manage and she did it all perfectly. Clear communication with any concerns and on time for each drop in. We will continue to use Valerie when we are away from home! :)
Nancy was great! She was very thorough in her initial meeting with our boys. She wanted to make sure she had all the information about how to care for the boys. We didn’t have any issues with the check-ins and she gave very good updates for each day she saw them. We would definitely recommend Nancy!
Kathryn was so amazing! She sent daily pictures and updates to me, giving me peace of mind & security. I also had to cut my trip short and she was so sweet and accommodating! I’m def booking with her in the future! You can tell that she really cares and loves what she does :)
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the start, he took the time to help my cats feel comfortable and safe. He genuinely engaged with them, played with them, and paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. The litter was consistently kept clean, and I was really impressed by the sitter’s attention to detail when it came to my cats’ routines and overall well-being. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cats were not just cared for, but cared about. I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.
Kendall was great with my cats! Normally when we come home from a trip they seem agitated, but after having Kendall check on them they were happy, calm and seemed like they got a mini vacation too. Would highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
