“Katie is so awesome! She went above and beyond to befriend our grumpy old man of a cat, was very thorough at every drop-in, and just a lovely person all around. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Maria and Brandi were great! They met our two kitty’s needs, including play time. We got lots of updates, pictures and videos, which set our minds at ease.”
“Lindsay took such good care of my two cats! I got updates with pictures every visit which is appreciated. My cats can be skittish, but warmed up to her immediately. It was a great peace of mind while away. Will book Lindsay again!”
“Juliana did a great job checking in on our cat while we were traveling. Throughout the process, she was friendly, professional, responsive and reliable. Our pet was well taken care of and we are happy with the service Juliana provided. We’d definitely use her again if we have any pet sitting needs!”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was 7 years old and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, temperaments, and needs. I've worked with dogs in a variety of circumstances and understand the importance of patience, consistency, enrichment, and learning how each animal communicates. I love getting to know each dog's individual personality and quirks, whether they're energetic and playful, shy and cautious, independent, or happiest curled up beside someone. I enjoy keeping pets mentally and physically engaged through play, walks, and training, while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I appreciate detailed care instructions and will do my best to maintain your pet's normal routines, boundaries, and preferences while you're away. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry family members! I am currently a full-time college student, so my classes and prior commitments do take priority when determining my availability. I plan pet care around my class schedule and study time to ensure I have enough time to properly care for each pet rather than overbooking myself. My schedule often allows for care between classes and during study breaks, with greater flexibility in the evenings and on weekends. Weekends are typically my best availability for pet sitting and longer visits. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, training routines, household rules, and any individual needs or preferences. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, body language, boundaries, and comfort level rather than assuming every animal wants the same kind of interaction. I prioritize safety while making sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, exercise, and affection according to their individual needs. I also treat my clients' homes with care and respect, keeping spaces secure, clean, and tidy and communicating with owners about their pets while they're away.
About: I understand how stressful it can be to board your pet or leave them home alone. I want to care for your furry friends the way you would, so you can be assured they are comfortable and happy at home. I have had dogs and cats my entire life; currently I have one dog and one cat of my own. I've also cared for the pets of many friends and neighbors over the years. I love making new furry friends! I am available for house-sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits and playtime, cat care, etc. just let me know what you need and I'll make it work. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a full-time job aside from Rover. I am available to care for your pets early in the morning, evening/night after work, overnight, and on the weekend. I work remotely a couple days a week, so I do have mid-day availability those days (let's talk if that's something you're interested in and I can give you more details). It's of the utmost importance to me that both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable with me! I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet before you commit to care, and I can send you all the text updates you'd like.
“Elizabeth took care of my cats as if they were her own. She was an excellent communicator and sent me tons of pictures and videos, so I knew they were in good hands while I was away. Even more amazingly, my one cat is very scared of new people, but he warmed up to her right away. Cats can tell when humans are safe and I am so thankful to know they were given loving time and attention in my absence. I highly recommend and plan to book Elizabeth again for my future cat sitting needs!”
“Barbara was extremely great with my 2 cats. They usually aren’t friendly and like to hide but they warmed up to her! You can tell she really cares! I’ll definitely rebook for my next vacation!”
About: I am a pet store animal care manager with over 3 years of experience in caring for small animals (chinchillas hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, mice, rats), birds (parakeets, conures, & cockatiels), reptiles (pythons up to 300g, bearded dragons, various geckos, frogs, spiders, skinks, mountain lizards, monitors, & more), as well as salt water & freshwater aquatic life. I am a training animal care manager in my district. Additionally, I have 2 cats, a 4 year old golden retriever who I've had since she was a puppy, a bearded dragon, a mourning gecko, a betta fish, & many (many) plants in my care. I work full time, and am currently only available for drop in visits for cats and exotic pets. I am also able to host 1 dog small to medium size dog for 3 nights max (I have 1 golden retriever who is good with all other dogs, and 2 cats who are hesitant around other dogs but have their own space in the apartment to escape to). I take my dog on a one mile + walk per day and am able to provide up to 4 bathroom breaks per day. I will treat both your pets & your home with respect. I will not stray from your specific instructions, & will provide you with updates/photos from each visit. I will do everything possible to keep your pet safe & happy while in my care.
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Chris did an excellent job for me and I returned home to a healthy and happy cat. (OK, may be he wasn't exactly happy with me for being gone, but that's how cats are!) Chris kept me updated regularly with photos while I was away, and I was assured that things were good. I couldn't have been more pleased.”
“Samantha was a super big help when I had to travel for work. She did a great job sending pictures and getting me updates on my cat. Will definitely be using again in the future and would recommend to anyone who needs someone to check in on their pets!”
“Dakota is a lovely and attentive caregiver. My older lady cat needs a daily visit and Dakota was thoughtful and great in her communication. Odie was much more happy and relaxed when I returned. Will definitely work with Dakota again!”
About: We have had dogs in the house since I was three years old and we were all responsible for caring for them. I’ve seen dogs through the puppy and training stage to the old age medication and care stage. My dogs were big Labradors, and I dog sat for many people with medium and small dogs at all stages of their lives. There’s not much your dog could throw at me that I wouldn’t handle with confidence and experience! I am currently attending an acting conservatory, the only days that that takes up my whole day are Thursdays and Friday's. Mondays and Tuesdays I’m free after 2, and Wednesdays I am free until 1! Weekends my schedule is wide open and I can work any time, and I am available every night of the week for overnights! With all the animals that have gone through my home growing up I know every pet is different. I follow the owners lead when it comes to how to care for them and never try to push my personal pet care habits on anyone. Everyone has a different relationship with their pet and I am here to respect and emulate that as best I can when you have to be away from your best friend! You and your pet are the boss!
“Anna was awesome!! I really appreciated her updates and communication. She left the house in great shape. Most importantly, my cat Azi clearly adored her, and I could travel knowing he was safe and happy. Will definitely hire again :)”
“Gianna went above and beyond while looking after my cat. This is my first time using Rover and Gianna was super communicative and attentive. I would definitely book with her again if needed.”
“Shyma was an AMAZING kitty caretaker! He came over to meet my shy kitties in advance, and to learn how to administer my kitty’s inhaler medication, and was a natural. I loved and appreciated the attentiveness of Shyma, from the picture updates and reports, to Shyma’s excellent understanding of how to work with extremely shy cats. Shyma was patient yet determined with my shy crew- and my kitties eventually made friends! I would definitely hire Shyma to cat-sit again. Shyma is extremely personable and an obvious animal-lover. Thank you for everything!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Gabby! She took such great care of our cat, Mars, and our dog, Ruby, while we were away for two weeks. It was obvious from the updates and photos that they were both happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Mars can be a little particular, and Gabby made sure he got all the cuddles and attention he loves. She also made sure Ruby got her daily walks and plenty of love. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gabby was reliable, communicative, and treated our pets like they were her own. We came home to two happy, healthy pets, and we are so grateful for everything she did. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.
You couldn’t ask for a more dedicated person than Stephanie to watch your beloved pet. I was away for 10 days and faithfully. Stephanie came every day and took excellent care of my cat Pandora. I highly recommend her. You will never regret choosing Stephanie.

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. 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.
