“Jenna took great care of our kitties! Even the shy one came out to see her! And she spoiled one of them, bringing his chicken treats up to the bedroom. 🤣 She sent lots of pictures during the week we were away.”
“I was out of the country for 2 weeks and Sam did a wonderful job looking after my sweet boy! I looked forward every night in seeing the many sweet photos she took and felt an enormous amount of relief and comfort knowing my kitty was in such good and caring hands. I will definitely be reaching out to Sam for any future pet sitting needs ♥️”
“Jill was great with our kitties for the week! I told her she was the cat whisperer after one of my cats came out for her who has never come out for anyone, even friends! Her report cards and pictures were great and it was so nice to know everything was taken care of while we were on vacation! She even offered to water our plants.”
“Our usual Rover sitter wasn't available. So we went with Angela D. who is new to Rover as a sitter. She lived nearby so we gave her a try. Angela turned out to be awesome for our feral cat I rescued. He took to her almost immediately. She did all we asked plus more and we returned home to a happy cat. I highly recommend her.”
“Laura has provided such loving care for our pets, particularly our senior cat. I am so thankful I found her and will continue to utilize her services going forward. I highly recommend her!”
“Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.”
“Olivia was great! I could tell the kitties were enjoying her company, and she always gave us thorough updates on the house and the cats. Would definitely recommend and re-book!”
“Samantha did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats while I was away! She always left detailed notes and provided several photos. She also easily helped my senior boy get his ear medicine each day! All the kitties were happy and healthy when I got home ❤️”
“We will definitely be using Callan in the future! We just adopted a 1-2 year old pup with separation anxiety. Callan was very responsive and very sweet. Our pup loved having a visitor!”
About: I have many years of experience as a responsible animal owner who cares very deeply about helping them live their best life. I have had puppies through senior dogs and am reliable in helping your furry friend stay on their schedule as much as possible. After the first week of June 2024, I am available this summer during any day and/or night. Since I work in the school system, I have an open schedule during the summer time. I live in a low-traffic safe neighborhood. I will create a comfortable and safe space for your pet to stay while sticking to your pet's regular feeding and exercise routine as much as possible.
“Jan and Jamie were great during their drop-ins with our cat and we're respectful to my home during the visit. Would highly recommend their services and reach out again in the future.”
About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newington
Danielle was really enthusiastic and kind, offered to meet me before hand to make sure I was comfortable with the arrangements since this was my first time using Rover, and seemed to really love animals. I felt secure and also was happy to get pictures of my cats through the app during her stay.
Hannah is an excellent pet sitter. She took good care of our cat while we were away. She administered his oral medication daily with no problems. Hannah provided us with a recap of each visit including photos. We will definitely be requesting Hannah for our future pet sitting needs.
Tristen was great with my cat Sheddy. She tends to be on the shy side and doesn’t come out for strangers. Tristen was super patient with her and always managed to get a picture of her. I felt at ease knowing Sheddy was in good hands. I will definitely reschedule with Tristen for my next vacation!

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.
