“Katelyn was great! She came last minute on a holiday weekend and took excellent care of my senior lady. She followed all of the care instructions to the letter and provided plenty of updates, was on time, and even managed to coax my shy kitty out for some treats and pets. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Jiru took great care of our 3 cats while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip. We felt at ease knowing that she was there to look after our cats.”
“Kiwi was so nice and professional with our cat, Kimchi! I booked a drop in visit last minute for a trip I was taking and Kiwi was very accommodating. I really appreciated the time Kiwi took to meet and learn about Kimchi and her preferences. Kiwi also took many great photos during the visit (Kimchi looked thrilled about Kiwi visiting her!) and wrote a very nice update so I knew Kimchi was happy and healthy while I was away!! I will absolutely reach out to Kiwi the next time I have a trip!”
“Grace has been fantastic with my variety of pets! I feel so much better while traveling knowing they are in good hands. I would definitely recommend Grace to friends and family.”
About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had animals as a part of my life since I was a child. I grew up with a high energy dog (Sheppard/terrier mix) and currently dog sit for 3 dogs in my family (Husky, cocker spaniel and terrier mix). I also have had a Bengal cat for the past 3 years that I love to take on outdoor adventures and on walks with the dogs. I know the importance of keeping your pets happy and well exercised! I work remotely and decided to join rover because I love animals and want to spend more time with them because I cannot currently adopt any more myself. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am looking to care for pets within close vicinity to me that I can care for on weekdays and some weekends when I am free. I treat all pets as if they are my own and will follow the owner’s instructions on how they would like me to care for their pets. You can expect photo updates each time I check on them if you wish.
“Anna is a great cat/house sitter and I would highly. Recommend her. I have a 21 year old senior cat with several medical needs. Anna stayed overnight and gave oral medication to my cat who is feisty with strangers. Anna is responsible, dependable and has excellent communication skills. She texted me with questions on issues that we had not covered and I appreciated that. She has high integrity and I felt that I could trust her in my home and with my cat.”
“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”
“Kevin was amazing! He quickly became friends with Muffin - played with him a lot, pet him and even let him sleep on him. Kevin is super friendly and caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Thanks, Kevin!”
About: Hi, I'm McKenzie! Since high school, I have been the go to neighborhood cat sitter. I have experience taking care of cats with various temperaments and medical needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful and anxiety inducing leaving your fur babies at home is, especially for an extended period of time. I provide daily check ins for pet parents so they know their babies are safe and sound. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I work a standard 40 hour week, Monday through Friday. For week days, I would come before I start work and come over after I get off. Typically during week days, I spend an hour and a half each trip, including feeding, play time, socializing/grooming time, liter, basic household cleaning, etc. When I leave a home, the only evidence I was there should be a happy and content cat when you return. On weekends, the time I spend with the cat(s) is extended to a couple of hours each visit to ensure they are getting enough enrichment and care. I have experience with caring for indoor and outdoor cats. My main goal when starting at any new home is to build a relationship with the cat(s), especially if they are wary of new people. I don’t push the cat into socialization immediately. If they are hiding away in the beginning, I start with letting them know of my presence, then build trust from there. Every cat has its own personality, so it’s important to me to find what works best for them. When I enter and before I leave a home, I always ensure I have eyes on each cat in the household. I want to know where they are before the door is locked to make sure they are safe and sound.
“Keith just helped us with our cats for the first time over the holidays. He was very communicative and did an extra thorough search to put eyes on our most elusive hider so I wouldn’t be worried while we were out. It was very much appreciated!”
About: I am a certified Seattle Humane volunteer and have a dog, of my own. I currently have a related job and my own petsitting business. I currently only work one shift on Sunday mornings, most of my time is freed up since i graduated and am doing a gap year. I come over to your house with trust and the knowledge that your pet is special to you. I give them all they need and more, providing a positive experience.
“Sarah was truly amazing!! We were gone for a couple of days and she took such a great care of my two cats. She was extremely flexible with my needs that wasnt planned before, and extremely communicative during the visits. Definitely will book her again when I need somebody to take care of my cats!”
“Gianna was very helpful in a last-minute request for our 4 cats, including one who requires inhaler and medicine administration. She provided thorough updates and shared pictures of all four (even the hard to find ones). For disclosure, I am a Rover employee.”
“Ellyanna was great for drop in visits for our cat while on vacation! She was excellent at communicating, understood our cat’s needs, and was flexible on changes we needed too. Would definitely work with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs when I was growing up so I am familiar with puppies. I also helped care for multiple dogs for friends and family. I am familiar with administrating medicine, pill and oral syringes. I ensure it is easy and stress free for your fur baby. I love to be outdoors and get my steps so why not have a buddy to tag along! I’ve cared for seniors and always ensure ways for them to remain active whether physically or mentally. I am here not just to be a sitter, but a friend :)! I make it my mission to provide as much time, if not all my time, to your babies. I do have a fluctuating schedule, therefore, I require a couple days in advance for a booking. I do make sure that your pet comes to me, comfortably, first. I want to become a friend to them, not just a sitter who comes in and just leaves as soon as a task is finished. I ensure your home is tidy after play time, if in the home, and/or after meals, etc. I treat your home and fur baby as if it were my own, I understand the importance of feeling secure in allowing a “stranger” into your home and around your baby.

I can’t recommend Kseniia enough! I had an extend vacation planned and was really worried about my kitty while I was away. She gave thorough updates, cared for her like her own and had no problems giving my senior kitty the daily medication she requires. My daily photo updates really put me at ease and I came home to a happy and healthy kitty.
Heather did an awesome job checking in on our cats while we were gone. I accidentally had a package delivered that I wasn't expecting and she even brought it inside for us before I knew it was there! I will definitely book her again. She really took the time to help our cats feel cared for while we were away.
Lillian is wonderful! She is super communicative, attentive and compassionate. Our two cats can be quite shy but warmed up to Lillian extremely fast. While away, we had daily updates and pictures that made us feel extremely at ease with being away for several days. Thanks, Lillian…will definitely rebook when we are away!!!
Zheru is awesome! She is very responsive and attentive. She helped clean Fika and Otto’s food dispensers and water fountain even without being asked to. Every visit comes with a detailed report and many cute pictures. I feel very assured that she’s taking care of my fur babies when we’re away. I’ll definitely recommend her to any cat parent!
Hayley is an exceptional pet sitter. My kitties warmed up to Hayley quickly. They are normally very shy. I appreciate Hayley's attention to detail with their eatting and behavior patterns. She interacted with them each visit. She also reached out with questions and concerns. Thank you, Hayley!
Nicole took great care of my cat for drop in visits while I away for 2 weeks. She was attentive, quick to communicate, and thorough. There were some unexpected house-related issues that came up and Nicole even went the extra step to make sure my cat was safe. Thank you Nicole!
Malia provided our two kitties with tons of love and playtime while we were on vacation, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly! It was a huge relief getting several pictures each time she visited for breakfast and dinner, seeing how well they were doing. I would happily trust her to take the best care of them in future!
We had a wonderful experience with Sage. Very communicative and caring, with extra time spent with our cat when she wasn’t behaving well. Sage also cleaned up after her, which we really appreciated. We felt our cat was in great hands and would definitely recommend Sage!
Jue is the best cat sitter anyone can ask for. First and formost, she studys animal behavior in school so she understands cats very well! . Second, She spent an hour before the first visit to get to know my place and my two cats, and took down a long list of notes, that shows how much ownership she had for this task. Third, she is a GREAT communicator! She responds to messages/requests very quickly, and will send pictures/videos and detailed visit cards so you know 100% your cats are doing well. Last thing, she really pays attention to details, and will help you with things that you cascually missed. In my case I missed cleaning the water fountain. Even though cleaning water fountain was not in the request, she noticed the bugs flying around she just took care of it. 10/10 recommended!
Morgan is awesome, she took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. I appreciated the photos, and that Willie was willing to come out and pose for them. He’s usually shy with people he doesn’t know, but warmed up to Morgan no problem! I had peace of mind that he was well cared for. Thank you Morgan!! 🙏💕

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.
