“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”
“Lindsay took such good care of our cat during a tough time for him when he was on medication and grieving his brother cat. She clearly loves animals and easily took in and followed his feeding and medication schedule. She was an excellent communicator. I would definitely ask her to sit for him again!”
“Alyssa provided excellent service and communication during our booking. She was flexible when needed and accommodating as well. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we go out of town.”
“Ari was fantastic with my kitties! My cats both need oral medication every morning so I was a bit worried to leave them, but Ari took great care of them. I recieved thorough notes for each visit and multiple photos every morning. I was very reassured they were in good hands. I will be rebooking in the future!”
“Asmahan has been great! She was very understanding that our anxious dog takes a few visits to warm up to new people. She was patient and had great instincts with our pup. We are looking forward to continuing to hire her in the future!”
About: I have raised dogs and cats since I was a kid. I've done everything from bottle feeding to crate training to grooming and administering medication. I work full time and have a partner who is around during the day. I have a very well kept schedule of making sure the animals are well cared for in the morning and taken care of in the evenings. I have an unfenced yard in a culdesac, the neighbors are very friendly and I take care of the yard to make sure it is free of anything that might be dangerous
“Very kind and eager to be a good pet friend to my two cats while I was away. Also conscientious, making sure all was well with a cat who is more shy these days. House was as I left it!”
“Jordan took spectacular care of our cat while we were out of town for several days. We loved the daily photos and reports of their time together. Super fun. Fantastic!!”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“Claudia has checked in on our cat many times since over the past year or so and our cat loves her! She is easy to communicate with and gives detailed updates on kitty during her check-ins. Thank you Claudia! :)”
“INCREDIBLE! My therapist recommended I use this app and we were so worried as first time users. Michaela was attentive, very communicative and went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. We will 100% book with her again and highly recommend for anyone looking for someone who will care for your pets and ease your worries. Legitimately so happy we booked with Michaela.”
“Rachael took care of our home and two cats for two weeks. We had a chaotic schedule (wedding for the weekend, then back to collect our belongings for a flight to Europe, etc) and she was completely flexible and accommodating throughout. Our cats were calm and happy and our home was in perfect condition when we returned. Rachael is not only responsible, responsive, and easy to communicate with, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive to detail. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable house or pet sitter.”
“Did a great job making sure our three cats were taken care of and fed while we were away! Would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies and we would definitely rebook her services in the future if she is available!”
“Leanne is a great sitter! I’ve used her a few times now to watch my cats and I have been more than pleased every time. I never need to worry while I’m away because I know my kitties are in good hands! She is also an excellent communicator and gives thorough and thoughtful updates after each visit!”
“Niusha looked after our cat while we were away for the holiday and we were very happy to see the many photos and videos that she shared of our kitty - he was clearly very well loved and taken care of!”

Kyra took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. Purrginia was relaxed and happy when we got home. Kyra was communicative throughout, kept up with feeding, water, and litter, gave Purrginia plenty of attention, and even grabbed our mail. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!
Lucy was very receptive to what my cat needed. She came for 1 visit while I was out of state. She provided a meal, checked water, checked my cats litter, and sent a few photos. I also got a few screen shots from my apartments camera and saw that Lucy even brushed Zelish and played with her which was really nice. I felt happy knowing my cat was well taken care of.

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.
