“Hoai was a better sitter than we could have imagined! She took detailed notes about the kittie’s preferences during our meet and greet, and gave us thorough updates during her drop ins. It gave us so much peace of mind, and the kitties were in great spirits. She also left the house and cat bowls spotless, which was the cherry on top!”

“David did a great job keeping our kitties happy and fed! I appreciated that with each visit he left photos and information about what happened during the visit and how they were doing. I would absolutely rebook David next time we go on a trip!”
“Dawn did such a great job with my two kittens - very attentive, took wonderful care of them, and gave them lots of play time! She even kept my place clean, which is hard to do with kittens playing in cat litter all the time :)”
“Parnian took wonderful care of my cat, Tiny, while I was away. She visited every other day, made sure he was fed and hydrated. and gave him plenty of love. attention and companionship. She also kept his litter box clean, and made sure he was comfortable and doing well during each visit. Her regular updates and pictures gave me peace of mind, and helped me feel connected to Tiny while I was gone. Parian was dependable, caring, responsible, and trustworthy throughout the entire time. I highly recommend her for someone looking to care for their pet. and I will definitely. ask her again to look after Tiny again in the future. ❤️ 🐾”
“Ailen was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat and 2 dogs! She was able to watch our pets for a week on short notice and was extremely thorough with her care for them. She is an exceptional communicator, and kept us up-to-date on all things happening while we were away.”
“I am so grateful I found Laura on this app. She takes great care of my two kitties. I never worry when I’m away because I know I left my fur babies in very capable hands.”
“Caroline helped take care of my cat Sansa while I was out of town. She sent amazing pictures and left a report every day she visited! My cat really enjoyed her company!”
“Samantha is so great! She always gives great feedback as to what’s happening while I’m out of town. I get lots of pictures and updates of Jax, how he’s doing, if he’s eating, if he’s using the restroom, and all the treats that he gets while I’m away. She always leaves my place clean also. Would highly recommend.”
“Laurie looked after my two cats for a long weekend. She was outstanding. She arrived on time for each visit and provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. Laurie has looked after the boys a number of times and they always look forward to her visits!”
About: I have helped raise 5 litters of puppies, and I have previously worked at a dog and cat kennel. I also have several years of experience pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I know how important it is to find a pet sitter who will care for your pet as much as you do, and I promise to do just that :) I work full time, but I am free in the evenings after 5pm on the weekdays. I am free all day on weekends. Willing to stay overnight as needed depending on the commute to my office. I am willing and able to walk dogs any distance. I am also happy to provide play time with toys and/or if you have a fenced yard. I’m happy to give cuddles to those pets with lower energy/just need some company.
“Ilana did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was on time, followed all instructions, and communicated well. Before we left, she made sure to come by our house to meet the dog, take him for a walk, and really get to know him and our needs. While we were gone, we always knew what was happening as she communicated so effectively. She is the next best thing to having us home! 5 Stars - we will use Ilana again!”
“Thank you so much Kaitlyn! You are above & beyond! I appreciate how caring you are with my baby girls. And thank you for being so thoughtful in helping with anything extra that was needed at my house. You’re truly amazing!”
About: Hello! My name is Chanel and I’ve always loved animals!! I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and also ride horses in my free time. I have rode for 22 years so I am also able to help out with horses! Since I could speak I wanted to work in the Veterinary world and that’s exactly what I did being a Vet Tech for 3 years! I have also worked for major pet food companies and a doggie daycare! My experience with animals is vast and I can help in any and all areas!

I am available weekends, Monday mornings, Tuesday’s all day, Wednesday/Thursday evenings after 6:00 and Fridays all day. Some days I work from home as well which gives me the opportunity to help out pet parents! I am extremely organized and cleanly. I am able to handle all sized dogs and have experience with large dog breeds as my job was to assist a Veterinarian with handling!
“We could not be happier we found Camille to take care of our babies while we’re away. She cares for and loves them as if they are her own, which gives us great peace of mind when we need to leave them. We will absolutely be repeat customers again & again ❤️”
“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”
About: Being a long term dog owner, I strive to treat other animals like my own. Love, loyalty, respect and a stress free environments are what I strive to create while your pet is in my care. I’m currently working part time, but have plenty of time to care for your pets. Lots of walks, play time, belly rubs and companionship are what I provide. I am available on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I can also be available for early morning walks as needed. I make sure to follow very closely the routines already in place for your pet. Interacting and keeping your pet safe and comfortable are my top priorities.
“We are so fortunate to have found Katherine. I feel completely comfortable leaving our cats in her care while we’re away. She is an excellent communicator, attentive, and incredibly caring with our pets. Katherine is a true professional—she knows how to administer medication to both of our cats and handles everything with calm confidence. Since we recently added a new cat to our family, tensions have been high with our older cat, who hasn’t been very welcoming. Katherine has been understanding, patient, and sensitive to their individual needs, which has been a huge relief. She goes above and beyond every time. We really like her and feel lucky to have her caring for our furry family members. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.”

Radhika is the best in her job and it’s not a surprise she has this many good reviews! She’s great at reading animals and adjusting her methods accordingly. She’s been the best at handling my feisty cat and inspires me a lot. I couldn’t have been more thankful for everything she has done!
We needed a cat sitter for two a day visits while we were on vacation. We met with Dawn prior to leaving to get to know one another and to go over our expectations. Our cat, Molly, is typically shy with strangers. Dawn took her time with Molly and she let Dawn pet her, give her chin scratches and brush her on each visit. Everything was well taken care of, the house was clean and we received regular texts and pictures to let us know how everything was.
Yeji did daily check-ins for my 15 years old cat while I was out of the country for two weeks. Everything went really well, she communicated well and was able to accommodate additional requests with grace. I highly recommend her and she will be my number one choice in the future when available.
Patty did check in visits with our cat twice a day for two weeks. Our cat is quite anxious and I was worried about leaving her but I quickly felt at ease knowing that Patty was coming twice a day and communicating regularly with lots of detail about how the cat was doing and everything else related to the house. Patty went above and beyond, offering to bring in packages and checking the house for accidents. I would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets, she is loving and patient and reliable. We will definitely be hiring her again
This was our second time booking with Hannah and as always, she was absolutely amazing!! One of our cats is special needs, so he takes some extra care and understanding and Hannah was wonderful with him as always. She’s always professional, on time, follows all directions perfectly, communicates wonderfully with detailed updates and pictures, and is overall just amazing with our two cats who I imagine aren’t the easiest. We adore Hannah and are grateful for her care!
Ailen was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat and 2 dogs! She was able to watch our pets for a week on short notice and was extremely thorough with her care for them. She is an exceptional communicator, and kept us up-to-date on all things happening while we were away.
Parnian was absolutely amazing with Leyli! From the second Leyli saw her, she immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her, which made me feel so much better about being away. Parnian took such great care of her and gave her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Leyli was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Leyli, and I would absolutely book with Parnian again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️🐱
Hoai did a wonderful job caring for our two cats! We went away for a week and we really appreciated the updates that she provided each day, which included photos and videos. She was also was great about asking us questions about the cats or their supplies to ensure they were receiving the very best care. The clear communication made us feel confident that the cats were in good hands. This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely book with Hoai again!

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .

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.
