“It was our first time to use Rover and we were a little nervous to ask someone to take care of our cat, but when we met Lea for the first time, we felt much better as she seemed so nice and trustful. During our one-week vacation, Lea helped and took care of our cat so well! She really knows how to take care of animals and she is so kind and responsible. She respects animals. Our cat's personality isn't easy, but Lea interacted with our cat so nicely and naturally. Also, Lea kept everything nice and clean. We are so happy and feel so lucky to have Lea in our area. Thank you so much for everything again, Lea! You are the best! We highly recommend her :)”
“Kimberly was fantastic! She showed up every time on time rain or shine. She followed everything we asked and then some. Our babies were well taken care of and the reports/photos were so nice to get while we were away. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and always made the effort to give them the best care possible! I will treat your pets like they are my own and they are cared for properly. I am very ambitious and hard working, I work full time but will make sure the pet care I provide is above and beyond because that’s what they deserve. I will follow instructions to the letter and not make any judgments or decisions that wouldn’t be in your pets best interest or without owner permission.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for over 15 years and truly love every personality, different breeds , and sizes- from playful puppies to shy senior cats and dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m available seven days a week for walks, drop‑ins, and overnight care.My calm, pet‑free home is ideal for cat boarding, offering cozy resting spots and a clean, quiet environment. I follow feeding schedules, litter preferences, and medication instructions closely. For dogs, I provide reliable walks, check‑ins, and overnight stays in your home, keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. I’m gentle with anxious pets, patient with seniors, and always send photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family is safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently self‑employed and make my own schedule, which means I’m extremely flexible and available seven days a week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often, able to adjust my day around visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule. Whether you need early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last‑minute support, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of timing needs. I care for pets with a calm, gentle, and detail‑oriented approach. In your home, I follow your routines exactly! Feeding schedules, potty breaks, litter care, walks, medication instructions, and any special notes you provide. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I offer a quiet, pet‑free environment that is especially ideal for cats. I have cozy resting spots, safe areas for exploration, and a clean setup ready for boarding. Most owners bring their cat’s preferred litter box, litter, food, and carrier, but I also keep a clean backup litter box and extra litter available if needed. I move slowly with shy or anxious pets, give them space to warm up, and always prioritize their comfort. I send consistent photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Baileigh has been providing regular drop-in visits with our dogs and has done a fantastic job. She’s very reliable, has been able to help with extra requests when needed, always takes time to ensure our dogs get good attention & are well taken care of on her visits. Our dogs are older as she’s done great to understand how they are each visit and adapts between good visits/contact or walks depending on how they’re doing. She always checks in and provides updates and pics. Highly recommended!”
“As always - Sara provides wonderful details and updates on my 2 kitty babies. As adult cats, they have learned to trust her and are happy to see her while I’m gone. As a fur baby mama this was my hope! To find someone the kitts would be fond of and come out to play! Thank you Sara!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Melissa
We would 100% recommend Ashley to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their fur babies! It’s our first time leaving our cats for that long, and she made us feel secure that everything will be alright. She followed our instructions to the letter and would ask questions if she needed more information. She communicated every time she came to visit and sent photo updates. Our babies are usually guarded but they warmed up pretty quickly to Ashley. She respected their space and played with them whenever they were in the mood. We came back to a tidy home, as if we never left, and she made sure to communicate if there was anything unusual or out of place. Ashley was awesome and we will definitely book her again on our next vacation! She’s the best! We couldn’t thank you enough, Ashley!
Maria always takes such amazing care of my kitties. She is patient with them and cares about them being comfortable and knowing they are cared for when I am not home. I have had her watch them 4 times now and will continue to request her every time I leave home.
Here’s a natural, polished version for the Rover review: Connor was great! He respected our home and followed all of our instructions for taking care of our cat. He also kept in close communication with us and reached out whenever there was an issue or question, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I highly recommend Connor to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible sitter for their cat or dog!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashlee is incredibly kind and took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for three weeks. She stayed in touch with us throughout our trip, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly, spent quality time with our cat, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for every day. When we returned home, our house was exactly as we had left it—clean and well looked after. Ashlee treated both our home and our cat with great respect and care. Ashlee will definitely be our go-to sitter from now on, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring 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 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.

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.
