“Sarah was amazing! She did a number of drop ins with our dog, and we would definitely book her again. Her communication, care for our pup, and detailed updates were so great, and made us feel comfortable even when we weren’t there. Grateful for Sarah and hope to book her again!”
“Great communication. We had a dialogue about what our dogs prefer. They came through for us in an emergency situation on short notice too and we couldnt be happier with their help. After they sent us the photos of our happy pups playing in the yard.”
“Allison was great. She was very attentive to my cat and she was very understanding of the needs of a senior cat. I got regular updates and pictures and Allison put my cat, and me, very much at ease.”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
“Looks like Sophia had a wonderful time with Lindsay and Penny 🥰 Lindsay took lots of photos which I absolutely adored seeing and also took the time to actually hang out with my cat, which I wasn’t expecting. I’m very happy with her services!”
“Paige was so sweet with our cats! She was patient and knew how to read their body language. She took the extra time to give them treats and pets and was very thorough. She provided detailed updates and pictures from her visits which were so fun to see while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at one time and have always lived with cats. I love taking care of your pets like they’re my own. I care deeply about animals and want yours to feel comfortable and happy in my care! I’m currently working as a substitute educator so I have flexible availability! I’m free on weekends and open to holiday assignments. I love walking and being outside and just handing out with your pet if they need someone company. I am comfortable helping out in and around your home! I’ve done overnight visits before and love to hang out and play with your pets as much as needed.
“Abbey was so great to work with. We had a few hiccups (all on my end!) and she patiently worked through them and was very flexible. Would highly recommend!!”
“Andrea was great. She arranged meetings free of charge to see if everything was a good fit before we committed. She often sent pictures to us to let us know our puppy was well taken care of. She also gave us many tips that were well appreciated as first-time puppy owners. Your pooch will be in great hands if you go with Andrea.”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox. Our cats are normally very shy and took to her immediately, I will 100% use her services in the future 😊”
“We had no worries after meeting Katherine at the meet and greet! She took such great care of our dogs, who we rarely have anyone outside of family watch. We are always nervous to leave one of our dogs who struggles with being anxious when we are away, and he took to her right away with no issues. She provided real time updates, and great photos! Our dogs loved her and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”

This was our second time hiring Amelia to watch Mr Bubs. It went completely smoothly, everything was perfect. Mr Bubs was well taken care of and Amelia was friendly, professional, and respectful of our home. We got daily updates with pictures. Definitely going to hire Amelia again!
Megan did a wonderful job with our two kitties. The photos, videos and personal updates showed how much Megan cared for our cat boys. Playtime captured showed how much fun Megan and our cat boys had together. We would definitely recommend and book with Megan again for our future cat drop-in needs while we are gone.
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.
Being new to the area we were in search of care for our two male cats while we went on vacation. We had Beth care for our two male cats over the fourth of july holiday. She bonded with them immediately. We were grateful that she was available on a holiday weekend since a few other sitters we contacted were not. She sent updates each day. We would not hesitate to hire her again.
Ava watched our cat, Octavia, while we were out of town on a trip. This was our first time so we were nervous about what to expect but Ava was great! She offered to do a meet and greet to meet our little girl beforehand to get acquainted with each other. Ava shared lots of photos while we were away and gave Octavia lots of cuddles and playtime. Even when we had a change of plans and had to come home early, she was understanding and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her!
T.L. loved Elizabeth, they got a long amazingly well. She was able to help me out on a last minute trip and was extremely accommodating in the care of my girl and times to see her. I would definitely rebook and recommend Elizabeth for the care of your animals!
Amy checked on our kitties routinely while we were out of town for three weeks. We arrived home to find that they had been well-cared for: plenty of food and water, and clean litter-boxes. We would definitely engage her again in the future, and recommend her to others.

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.
