“Lindsay took good care of our skittish and shy cat while we were out of town and even got her comfortable enough to come out a little. Her communication was great and we appreciated the pictures. Thank you, Lindsay!”
“Jacqueline always does a great job with our pets! We especially appreciate her expertise and focus with our senior dog. She knows to give him short, slow walks, and is comfortable and proficient in administering meds for his joint pain. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“Awesome job. Katherine is a great communicator and went way above and beyond with her service. Thank you so much for allowing us to focus on our vacation worry free.”
“Amy is a great cat sitter! We just adopted our cats and left them for the first time, I was very nervous and anxious of leaving them alone but Amy made us feel more relaxed after seeing how responsible and great she was with them. She followed all instructions and showed up on every visit, she sent plenty of pictures and responded quick to messages, she was very nice with our cats and they liked her right away. I definitely recommend her and trust her to take care of our cats again!”
“You did an amazing job! We loved your updates and felt very secure knowing you were around to take care of Poppy. We thought it was really cute how you’d shape her food for her. Thank you so much!”
“I will be forever grateful for Danielle’s loving care of my Emma. She went above and beyond. Period. Danielle followed every instruction regarding food and general care but what mattered most to me was her focus on Emma’s emotional wellbeing. Her kindness, love and knowledge of cats helped ensure a safe environment for my beloved Emma. The photos and videos I received from each visit was a joyful relief. I will definitely request Danielle again and again and again.”
“We’re so happy with the care that Jill provided for our pups! She was wonderful, caring, and understanding when our appointment ran very long. We look forward to having Jill back in the future!”
“Rob was great! We needed to book him last minute for a weekend out of town and he was super quick to jump in and his reports were thorough! He gave great updates on the cats :)”
“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.”
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
“Olivia is amazing! She is great to work with! She communicates clearly, is very reliable, and always lets us know how our pet is doing during the visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Heather is an amazing petsitter! Our dog immediately decided Heather is her new BFF and loved her instantly! Heather came to our house to hang out with Holly and sent us pictures and updates. Heather was easy to talk to and really cares about animals. If you need someone to care for your pet, Heather is your person!”
“Sarah came through for us again by doing a 1 hour drop in visit to feed, play with the dogs and let them relieve themselves in the yard. We are so lucky to have her on our team! Also her pictures are always better than the ones I take myself. Thank you!”
““Highly recommend! My dog is handicapped and cannot walk, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important. She took exceptional care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure all of her special needs were met. She was patient, compassionate, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It’s not easy caring for a special-needs dog, but she handled everything wonderfully. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.””

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!
Our cat Maisie loved having Thor as a sitter while we were out of town!! Not only did he allow her to approach him on her terms to build trust, he quickly won her over with his quality playtime and attention. We appreciated his thoughtful questions and detailed visit updates for us; especially since it was the first time we had left her for an extended period. He went above and beyond all of our expectations!! Will book 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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
