“This was the first time I’ve hired Lindsay. She stepped in when I needed a last minute sitter. There was a lot for her to learn with complicated diets and 4 cats. She was fantastic! She Learned quickly, was thoughtful and caring. I was very pleased and would not hesitate to choose her again!”
“Jayda was absolutely wonderful. She visited my cat everyday and was so attentive. The many pictures I received gave me huge peace of mind, and it's clear that my cat LOVED her. I will 100% be hiring her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Phenomenal! Our cat can be very particular about people and Paige was amazing, adaptive, kind, and very thoughtful! I felt so safe and comfortable while on vacation when I checked in on what Paige wrote about our sweet cat and the visits :) 10/10 would recommend and we will ABSOLUTELY book again! Thank you for such an amazing job we appreciate you!”
“Rob was an excellent sitter for our cat. He responded quickly to messages and was willing to adjust based on additional requests we had and gave us information on how he saw our cat Nephi was doing. Very grateful for him and highly recommend him.”
“Jerome - Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!** I can't recommend Jerome enough as a cat sitter! For the past year, he has taken wonderful care of my cat, Bolillo, and I couldn't be happier with his services. From day one, Jerome has been incredibly reliable and attentive. He always communicates promptly, keeping me updated on how Bolillo is doing, which gives me such peace of mind while I'm away. It’s clear that he genuinely cares for animals, and Bolillo absolutely adores him! Jerome goes above and beyond, ensuring that Bolillo is not just fed and taken care of, but also engaged and happy. His warmth and kindness have created a lovely bond between them, and I feel so fortunate to have found someone who treats my cat like family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter, look no further than Jerome. He’s been a true blessing in our lives!”
“Leah was amazing with my cat, Lizzie! She sent daily updates with photos, and I came home to a very happy, loudly purring kitty. When Lizzie got sick unexpectedly, Leah graciously cleaned everything up and kept me informed right away—which was such a relief while I was away for the week. I can’t recommend Leah enough!”
About: I began my carrer in animal care at Kings court pet resort in Sacramento, California where I took care of dogs, cats, and even pigs! I will treat your pet the same I did while I worked there. If needed I can bathe dogs (not cats), feed the animal special foods with special feeding methods, play with them for as long as needed, and will love the animal just like they are my own. That began my career in the animal field, then I took matters to the medical side of animal care where I became a kennel technician for All About Pets animal hosptial in Sacramento, eventually moving to Santa Cruz and working at the VCA Animal hospital for about a little under 5 years where I learned how to vaccinate animals, prep them for surgery, and ultimately help them feel calm and comfortable in such a stressful environment. With all of this experience and methods I have learned I think I would be a wonderful fit for your pet. I'm currently between jobs, but usually my career consists of Public Safety Dispatching and answering 911 calls. I am in the background check process for multiple agencies and expect to get back to full time within the next couple months. In the meantime I have been enjoying walking my friends pets and taking care of them like they are my own. My schedule at current moment is wide open, nights and weekends available! I am a 2 walk a day type of person so if the peg can handle being on the go we will be out exploring the neighborhood! Coming from a medical background in regards to pets I put their well-being above all else. I recently lost my 12 year old pitbull lab Boba and am filling my heart back up with my 3 year old cat Peachy. I have sat through hard appointments with clients, prepped for emergency surgery, and stayed overnight with critical patients. With the preparation, patience, and the skills I've learned over the years I believe I have experience others sitters don't.
About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I recently adopted 2 kittens of my own and I live with other people who are able to care for them while I'm away loving on your pets. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.
“Katie was wonderful. I had never left my spoiled boy before & Katie wrote excellent notes, sent pictures & video. Highly recommend her and will easily leave my Jack in her care.”
“The best sitter on this app. She takes great care of our two cats. She is super responsive and any accommodations we needed they could do. I only work with her and will only work with her.”
“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!!”
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job with our kitties. She was very responsive, sent fun photos and went above and beyond by watering all of my flowers/plants since it was such a hot weekend. The kitties were happy when we got home and I would definitely recommend Jacqueline for your sitting needs. I will be hiring her again when we need a sitter.”
“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”
“Anna continues to be the best pet sitter you could ask for. She's punctual, kind, follows complex directions well. My girls absolutely adore her, and were so excited to have Anna visit at our new apartment! If you need a worry free stay out of town, Annas got you covered. She even does odd tasks like cleam my cats goopy crusty eyes when I can't be there to do so.”
“Kelsey did a great job caring for our two kitties. She was responsive and communicative and very easy to work with. We received photos and written updates at every visit. We will happily use her again when our neighbor children are unavailable.”
“Andrea was phenomenal! It is evident that caring for pets is her area of expertise. I was apprehensive about hiring someone to watch our cat but Andrea put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We received daily updates of texts and pictures which we looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. I look forward to having Andrea take care of our cat in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
“This was my first time leaving my two cats and Julia was great! She sent pictures and even got my timid cat to come up for pets. I felt so much better leaving them with her visits!”

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!
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.
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.

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.
