“We have a very very shy dog, but Cydnie was able to gain our dog's trust by being incredibly patient with her. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs, and she is perfect for anyone with a shy dog.”
“Jackie was terrific to work with! She was very responsive and flexible. My pup is shy but Jackie was patient and calm with her. This was my first experience with Rover and all went very well! I look forward to working with Jackie in the future.”
“I think Mel did a good job. Our Woody seems happy. I was amazed at the amount of fur she too off him, as I had brushed him often but was cautious about "overdoing" because my husband did that once and "drew blood" on his back, near his tail. Maybe this will cause his "urp'ing" to diminish. Judy”
“Camille was fabulous! Stitch was well taken care of. Meeting before hand was perfect. Easy and flexible on the scheduling. I'll definitely have Camille back. :)”
“Alexander took excellent care of our cats. He tends to the details, filling extra bowl of kibbles etc. Our two cats are typically shy from strangers but they got along with Alexander right away. Will definitely come back!”
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats while we were gone. Really appreciate it. Thanks for bringing in our Amazon Subscribe and Save boxes and garbage toters too. We can't thank you enough. Happy Holidays!”
“Junbo took great care of my cat. I really appreciated her detailed updates. She accurately managed the food and litter. She prioritized playing and bonding with my cat and the value was clear as my cat became very comfortable with her. Thank you so much Junbo!”
“Lexi was great! Came and let our Cortez out and got treats too (as a bargaining chip because he’s silly like that)! Definitely recommend her to come see your pup for the day for a walk/play/bathroom break!”
About: I always put pets first — their comfort, routine, and happiness matter most. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. With a calm, caring approach, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Your pet isn’t just watched — they’re cared for like family.Even when you’re not home, your pet is loved, cared for, and never alone. While you're away during the week, I make sure your pet stays healthy, active, and emotionally cared for. They'll enjoy play, stimulation, and exercise — and greet you happily when you return home. I’m here to give you peace of mind, and your pet a comforting, enriching routine in your absence. My care ensures you and your pet feel together, no matter the distance. Even when you’re not home, your pet is loved, cared for, and never alone.
“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”
“Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of Coco! She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with plenty of detailed notes and pictures while we were away. We came home to a very happy, sweet cat and a perfectly clean house. I highly recommend Mackenzie and would definitely trust her to watch Coco again!”
“Alexis did an amazing job taking care of our cat Daisy! Very reliable and punctual. Highly recommend her if you’re thinking of leaving your furry babies home in good hands😊”
“Loved Daiana! On time, personable, great with cats and appreciating our cat’s feisty personality. Daiana was always quick to respond via the Rover app and sent the cutest photos. Would totally use her again!!”
About: I have been taking care of my cat since he was a small kitten. I have a lot of empathy and compassion towards animals and consider my cats some of my best friends. My cousin will be joining me for my Rover journey. I dog sit his dogs- 16 years old, 1 year old, and 3 months old. My cousin only feeds his dogs the best, raw food and lets them play outside a lot. Together we make a team I am on summer break from college so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around your schedule and am available every week day. Tuesday and Friday evenings, I am available before 5:00 pm. I typically let dogs go outside for the bathroom about every 30 minutes. I make sure their water is full and they are fed on time.
About: I’m Roh - a doctor-in-training, who is really just on here to spend more time with dogs & cats! I've taken care of friends' & family's dogs my whole life on & off - sometimes dogsitting, at other times walks, feeding them, quick potty breaks, and playing with them to keep them entertained. I am always so happy to be around furry friends & cannot wait to meet yours! I know I’m new on here & you might be nervous about that; I’m happy to do an in-person meet & greet where we can meet in a public space, I can meet your dog, and we can make sure we all get along! NOTE: I know my current rates are under market average. This is a new client promo, available for the next 3 months, while I set up here! I work full time Monday to Friday from 8 to 5 (rarely 6pm), but I’m available during the rest of the time. I think of myself as a great affordable fit for people going on short vacations or work trips, or if you just want an easy night in. On weekdays I can stop by early in the morning around 6:30-7am for a drop-in or a quick walk, followed by a longer walk in the evening with some playtime. On weekends I can dedicate a lot of my time to your pet! I can do up to 3 walks a day, if they prefer that. I am a big believer in respecting your residence. When petsitting, I keep things clean & will do my utmost best to leave your place as you left it! With your pet, I always try to strive for a mix of engagement & letting them chill, depending on their mood.

Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of Coco! She is a fantastic communicator and kept us updated with plenty of detailed notes and pictures while we were away. We came home to a very happy, sweet cat and a perfectly clean house. I highly recommend Mackenzie and would definitely trust her to watch Coco again!
Maddy has been fabulous, thoughtful, and very caring sitter for my two cats when I had to be away for kinda-last min away plan. She didn’t even hesitate to provide an extra look and care when one of my cat didn’t seem very well and I can’t express enough how much I appreciated her warm care given to my cats. She was also very communicative and there was no confusion for anything while I was away.
Sanuthi is incredible and very reliable. We have two finicky 12 year old cats and any changes stress out Simba. She was very patient, willing to meet him within his comfort level. She kept in contact through the visits, letting me know of any issues she was seeing, willing to change the plan on the fly. Kitties were in good hands and I am so very grateful for Sanuthi!
Olivia was fantastic. She checked on my cat daily and always made sure he had food, fresh water, and a clean litter box. I really appreciated the daily photo updates. She gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and someone I’d absolutely use again.
Heather is an outstanding sitter! She provides consistently thoughtful care and attention each time. Her detailed Rover notes and empathetic approach to pets brings so much peace of mind while away. Thanks Heather for making our sweet girl feel loved and safe always, we are grateful for you!
Qiangnan is truly wonderful. She spends so much time playing with my cats and even brings her own toys to keep them entertained. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about them and pays close attention to how they’re doing, always keeping me updated on their condition. What impressed me the most is that even my shy cat really likes her, which says a lot about her patience and gentle approach with animals. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my cats are in such caring and attentive hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.
We are so thrilled to have found Morgan for out two cats. Our cats are very skittish but took to Morgan right away. She plays with them and sends pics/videos of them for us. She is very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using her whenever we need to be gone. Highly recommend her!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
