“Greg was really great with our three cats! He took care to make sure everyone was ok during his daily drop ins, and was very thorough with all of the feeding and care tasks we had for him to do. Our cats loved him, he has a good way of relating to animals of all different personalities. Would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody for daily cat care.”
“Brijana did an excellent job of sitting for my cats. She's very personable, extremely communicative, and very flexible. I requested daily visits while I was out of town. When I had to change the time of the visits she was flexible and worked the visits into her schedule. While I was away I received daily reports with photos. I was able to text her at anytime and received a response within a matter of minutes. Even when my cats proved to be less than social, she was patient and made a valid attempt to befriend them. Brijana is awesome and I will be calling her again to care for my girls. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Denise was so great with taking care of my cat, Sushi! She made me feel comfortable leaving my cat alone all week and having her come to my home, something I did not think I would be comfortable doing. Denise was kind and gave Sushi a lot of attention and sent me photos everyday to keep in touch and make me feel better! I will definitely be using Denise for all my future pet sitting needs!”
“Chris was wonderful with my cat Fenrys - he sent great updates daily, and went about making friends at Fenrys’s pace. I felt so secure leaving him in Chris’s care!”
About: Former animal husbandry and shelter worker. I've raised and trained dogs, cats, rodents, and farm animals for 15+ years. Notably I have experience with reactivity and new rescue sensitivity. I work full time, but am off in the afternoon. I care for my own animals, but as they get much of there enrichment through morning excercise and afternoon adventures, my availability is flexible. I'm very adaptable to my/your pets needs. Whatever feels appropriate whether its a walk, dog park, more isolated park/trail area, a simple scatter feed or training session for enrichment is what I make work for the animals. I try to gage our animal moods, energy needs, and disposition when deciding what they'd enjoy.
About: I genuinely love all animals. I volunteered at the PSPCA for 3 years. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own! I do currently work full time so I am mainly available all day on Saturday & Sundays and Monday through Friday after 4:30pm only. If this works for you, reach out! I currently do not offer boarding services. But I will create a safe environment for your fur baby regardless where we are. Safety and building trust is essential to me.
“Alexa was so amazing watching our kitties! She sent updates and photos which we really appreciated and did such a good job with our cat who had a cone on. We are so lucky to have found her!”
About: After the passing of my own elderly dog, I’m left with lots of love, toys, a yard and a dog spa. Message me today I work in the city so I’m only 10 minutes away from my home. My apartment has a fenced in yard and a dog spa with many parks in the neighborhood. I’ve had pets my entire life so my routine has been built around my own pets. I’m an early bird so I like to get a jump on my days with a walk and would love to bring your doggie along with me I have a fenced in yard at my apartment. I also have an XL crate and dog bed if you don’t have a crate of your own for your pup. If you forget anything I also have bowls and toys to make the transition as smooth as possible for you.
“Emily was great!! Response time was very quick. She accommodated our schedule for our meet and greet and our dog loved her right away. I was away for vacation so I gave her my husbands number and she texted him everyday with an update everyday. Would absolutely use Emily again!”
About: I have worked as a vet tech for over two years and am now in the Army. I have experience with larger dogs as I grew up with a rottweiler, and now have a 120lb Leonberger- so they are not an issue for me at all. I also have experience with cats as well as exotic pets I am available during the week all days to hang out with your loved ones (pets!!) I have experience as a vet technician that is definitely useful for this line of work. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a track/trail that I take my dog on ~5x a day. It is perfect for dog walking.
“Sophie did such a great job watching my senior yorkie and four month old kitten. My dog is very hesitant with people, but Sophie had no issues whatsoever. Also, she followed my detailed/lengthy feeding instructions for both pets and took my dog out whenever she checked in. She did a great job, I definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future.”
About: I was very fortunate to grow up around an abundance of pets- be it dogs, cats, birds, rodents, or even reptiles. Because of this, I have years of animal handling experience of all kinds, and have even raised puppies. I am an avid walker averaging around 15 miles a day for fun, so if your little guy needs walking, I would love to help out. I will be working a full-time in-person job until July 31st, but am available weekends and evenings. Starting in August, I will be working remote which will allow me a lot more flexibility with watching your baby! Your home is your rules, and we will abide by it. That means if there are no animals allowed on the furniture, we will do just that. I can provide walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and I can play with your animals. If more is needed, we can absolutely talk about that and I would love to help!
About: I work an early shift so it’s easy for me to fit your visits in anytime after 3pm. I have more flexibility on Saturday and Sunday so happy to work with you for what is needed those days. I am good at following instructions so I can carefully take care of those needs and treat your home with repect. Travel without worry while you are away.

Chelsea took such great care of my kitties! I kind of had a lot of instructions because of one cat’s medical issues and I really appreciate that she left detailed notes about this. She also sent lots of reassuring photos. I feel great knowing my kitties are in good hands with her!
We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Very well deserved star sitter status!! Gokhan and Sue were so great with our three cats. They were prompt, detail oriented, and provided thorough updates with lots of pictures. But above all else, they were so gentle and caring with our cats. Will definitely be booking with them again!
Alexis was amazing with my cat! 💗 I was really nervous about leaving my cat with a new person, but Alexis completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind, attentive, and communicative. She sent me so many pictures and videos of Taco looking happy and cared for. I’m so grateful she took such great care of my kitty and I would absolutely book her again! Thank you Alexis!
Kelsey was amazing with my cat! We just moved to our new house before a week away, so I was feeling a little worried about Bitsy's being without us. But Kelsey's visits clearly made my kitty happy. The daily photos, videos and other home updates were fantastic. Thank you so much, Kelsey!! Highly recommend!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
