“Jeannie communicated her schedule/timing for anticipated arrival time and was open to feedback for day 2, noting that I needed to give more specific directions. She did great taking care of Nala.”
“Felicia went *above* above and beyond with my skittish cat! She sent such nice updates and lots of photos, brought extra treats for my lil man, and experimented with different ways to engage him. He was having big trouble before my trip, as he’d recently lost his brother – so I was extremely worried about leaving him. Felicia took that to heart and loved on him as if he were her own. She must have a sixth cat sense, because my cat is very shy and skittish; despite that, he quickly became comfortable with her, and even endured a building-wide alarm test without any residual trauma upon my return. That speaks volumes about how Felicia put him at ease! I can’t recommend her as a cat sitter enough.”
“Claire was highly communicative and took her time getting to know our little fur baby. I greatly appreciated her visit summaries and how she took all the right initiatives in getting things squared away. Would highly recommend.”
“Sammy is always a stellar cat sitter. She makes sure my cats have love, playtime, and food anytime I’m away. Sammy is nothing but kind, responsive, and takes great pride in coming over to check on my “kids” when I’m away. Thank you Sammy!”
“Alura was very attentive to my cat, Romeo. She paid attention to detail, and asked questions if things were not clear. Romeo was very happy and seemed content and comfortable when I came home. I loved the photos she sent. I also asked Alura to water my garden and flowers, and she did a great job with that. It was very hot the week I was gone, and everything looked great when I returned.”
“Julia took such great care of our cat, Anderson, while we were out of town during a long weekend trip. She sent a daily photo and message about how he was doing. We came back to a happy guy. We will definitely be asking Julia to take care of our little guy again next time! 🥰”
“Lexi was great! She helped us take very good care of Imo while we were traveling during the holidays. She was on time and great with our instructions and communications. Our cat Imo really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. She also took many cute photos of Imo :) Really appreciate your help last minute. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for several years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including three ferrets, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to an animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and quality care. I truly love all pets and have even began volunteering at the southwest humane society to continue my journey with pet care! I have open availability all summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! During the school year (September through June), I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m typically available on weekends, afternoons, and school breaks. I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure they get the appropriate amount of exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and affection.
“Amazing pet sitter! Very attentive to details and communicating! She made sure that Bravo was well fed and taken care of! Would highly recommend to anyone needing their pets taken care of”
About: I’m a seasoned house and pet sitter for friends, families, and—over the past year—through TrustedHousesitters. I’ve cared for everything from high‑energy puppies to senior pets who need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra patience. Having my own pets with their own unique tendencies has made me great at reading an animal’s personality and adapting to what helps them feel safe and relaxed. I keep routines consistent, follow instructions closely, and treat your home with the same respect I give your pets. My goal is always to make sure your animals feel secure and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel fully at ease knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits really naturally into my week. I’m already out and about most mornings, so adding walks or drop‑ins feels like a comfortable part of my day. I plan my schedule so I’m never rushed, and when I’m with someone’s pet, they get my full attention — whether that’s a walk, playtime, or just some calm company. I’m used to building my day around animals, so their routine just becomes part of mine. I care for pets in their home the same way I care for my own — with consistency, attention, and a calm presence. I follow your routines so everything feels familiar to your pet, keep feeding and potty schedules on track, and make sure they get the right mix of walks, play, and quiet company. I’m also mindful of your home and keep things tidy, so you come back to a clean, relaxed space. When I’m with your pet, they get my full focus and a steady, reassuring person in their day.
“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She has watched my two cats on numerous occasions since the start of this summer and it is so great to have one less thing to worry about knowing she's stopping by. She always helps with extra things like making sure my garden is watered and checking if doors were left unlocked by accident. She is incredibly flexible and is always kind enough to help when work keeps me away from home longer than expected.”
“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

Emma has been a great asset to my two very different kitties while we were away. We have a complicated situation with an outdoor kitty, and a very indoor/walk only on leash kitty. She was diligent at cleaning and maintaining a healthy environment for my fur children. I got lots of great photos and even the timid outdoor kitty warned up to her almost immediately 🐈 😺
Sienna is a fantastic communicator, reliable sitter and great cat photographer! We loved getting daily updates about our kitties while traveling. It gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our trip knowing they're not just well taken care of but also spoiled 🥰 we so appreciate the quality care. Our kitties will be looking forward to future visits Sienna for sure!
Alura was very attentive to my cat, Romeo. She paid attention to detail, and asked questions if things were not clear. Romeo was very happy and seemed content and comfortable when I came home. I loved the photos she sent. I also asked Alura to water my garden and flowers, and she did a great job with that. It was very hot the week I was gone, and everything looked great when I returned.
Rebecca checked in on time twice a day and took great care of Arlo. He likes to go outside on his leash and she sent me plenty of pics on their “walks.” Arlo loves his humans and I felt terrible leaving his at my mom’s house for three days but Rebecca was in touch with me all of the way and put me at ease. I highly recommend Rebecca!

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.
